[2/5] Regular browsers of my website and social media will note that I often codename locations, this name is often derived from something inside the location. A few years ago I uploaded an abandoned church in Germany, calling the post "Illuminati Church"

[3/5] The name comes from the large eye on the ceiling, which some has likened to the โ€œIlluminati Eyeโ€ symbol. The symbol is the Eye of Providence, probably originating in the 1400s or 1500s referencing the all-seeing eye of God, and his divine presence watching over humanity.

[4/5 ]The post is very popular, but not in the way I intended. I regularly received spam comments,from people wanting to join the Illuminati. Bizarrely, I had comments from those claiming to be the Illuminati making contact. Both clearly alternate takes on a similar scam ๐Ÿคฆ

Illuminati Church, Germany

The Illuminati Church is an old church in Germany. The Eye of Providence is emblazoned on the ceiling, a symbol of God's omnipresence.
