Charles Heckethorn - Secret Societies Of All Ages (1873). 'The first Masonic reference to Tubal Cain is found in the Legend of the Craft, where he is called the Founder of Smith-Craft, an explanation agreeing closely with modern biblical scholarship which designates him as the "Founder of the Gild of Smiths or Metal Workers.....Tubal Cain is expressly mentioned to be an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron, and as near relation as Apollo had to Vulcan, tubal had to Tubal Cain, who was the inventor of music, or the father of all such as handle the harp and organ, which the Greeks attribute to Apollo." Vossius, in his treatise De Idolatria (book i, chapter 36), makes this derivation of Vulcan from Tubal Cain. But Bryant, in his Analysis of Ancient Mythology (volume i, page 139), denies the etymology and says that among the Egyptians and Babylonians, Vulcan was equivalent to Horus or Osiris, symbols of the sun. He traces the name to the words Baal Cahen, Holy Bel, or Sacred Lord. - <a href="http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/mackeys_encyclopedia/t.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/mackeys_encyclopedia/t.htm</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_5lVIJ-WG0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_5lVIJ-WG0</a>
