“In the third degree the candidate impersonates Hiram, who has been shown to be identical with the Christos of the Greeks, and with the Sun-Gods of all other nations. The superiority of Masonry at this point over all exoteric religions consists in this: All these religions take the symbol for the thing symbolised. Christ was originally like the Father. Now He is made identical wit the Father. (Here lies the true meaning of Abiff, of or from my Father. Hiram = Christos and Abiff = at one with the Father ie ‘of’ or ‘from’)
In deifying Jesus the whole of humanity is bereft of Christos as an eternal potency within every human soul, a latent Christ in every man. In thus deifying one man, they have orphaned the whole of humanity!
A little something from the book Mystic Masonry; or, The Symbols of Freemasonry.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting…trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home -Wordsworth

That seems a bit ambitious to me. Hiram/Horus/Hermes/Hercules seem to me to be humanoid gods. It hardly seems necessary to raise a sun-god as the sun raises itself every morning with no human help at all.
As for the Christos connection, we have two options:
- a humanoid by annointing e.g. the ancient Messiahs may have been annointed with fat of the messeh (holy crocodile) - an intelligence that is a cosmic flow and well beyond the status Hiram/Horus
Hiram/Hermes/Horus/Hercules are all humanoids. The Christ light in the solar system is a functional part of the Being who uses the solar system as a body of incarnation.

presumably you have tested the 'status' of H[ie]r[ms] but did you track that of subsequent (re)generations?

This is an interesting question. The root HR seems to mean "born far away", "high born" or "heaven born". All three meanings could be true if the early royalty were alien gods or their offspring.
So then there is the question of the lifespan of such entities. Noah is supposed to have lived 960 years, but of another such being we say: A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone. So presumably some of these beings do live a very long time.
Death does come and Alexander the Great was too late to take the hand of Marduk, whose body was preserved in oil. " In 539 B.C., Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and Marduk welcomed him. Alexander of Greece, who thought Marduk begat him, took Persia, then Egypt. In Egypt, Alexander saw Marduk floating in fluid, dead or in suspended animation." enkispeaks.com/2011/12/29/marduk-aka-ra-would-be-king-of-earth-nibiru-by-sasha-lessin-phd/
Here is Marduk. Notice the interesting technology and his 2 left hands
When I look around I cannot find Horus the Elder but Horus the Younger seems not so far away, still with some attachment to the Earth.
Heracles seems to be in the interior of the Earth
Hermes seems a bit detached from Earth at present, but perhaps not for long.
The Hirams are not sufficiently identified for me to track.
