The book starts by declaring that a document was lodged with the CIA in 1991. In that document reference was made to an ancient portal and to a phrase that "It's buried out there somewhere" - that document is still with the CIA today.
The Prologue is set in the House of the Temple at 8:33 pm where someone is being initiated into a Freemasons type order and whilst this is happening that person is all the time thinking that they are about to learn the innermost secrets of the organization - information that they will use for evil purposes. The Prologue finishes with the line "Soon you will lose everything you hold most dear".
