Sounds familiar..
V\The preserved records of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Security Main Office) show the persecution of the Freemasons. While the number is not accurately known, it is estimated that between 80,000 and 200,000 Freemasons were exterminated under the Nazi regime.
In 1926, the little blue Forget Me Not was first used by the Grand Lodge Zur Sonne as a Masonic emblem at the Annual Convention in Bremen. Then in 1934, the Nazis introduced the Winterhilfswerk, a supposed charitable organization, which actually collected money used for rearmament. The contributors received a badge that changed each winter. In March 1938 the Forget Me Not badge - made by the same factory as the Masonic badge - was chosen, enabling Freemasons to wear it as a secret sign of membership.
After the Second World War, the Forget Me Not flower was used again as a Masonic emblem at the first Annual Convention in 1948 of the United Grand Lodges of Germany, Ancient Free & Accepted Masons. The badge is now worn in the coat lapel by Freemasons around the world to remember all those that have suffered in the name of Freemasonry, and specifically those during the Nazi era.
We're skirting the point to avoid calling you a fool for believing such crap. Listen, I respect that you've contributed a fair amount to this thread, but the whole "secret underground bunker of evil" stuff is the delusional fiction of nutcases. Not being a nutcase, myself, I really don't think it's worth commenting on.

Multiple times I notice you skirting the point...... That specific facility is used by evil for evil.... And just talking around it.
under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scattered before the four winds of heaven, that no more remembrance might be had of so vile and wicked a wretch as I would be, should I ever, knowingly, violate this my Master Mason's obligation. So help me God,

You mean a fez.
Masonry has existed for aeons, before Ramses. You can see it on the walls and statues. However if you mean Christian-European masonry, then yes 3 centuries.

Free Masonry is a religion that views all God's as equals and Worships all God's.

One cannot call himself a Christian and be a Free Mason as there are no other God's besides Yahweh.

Though Free Masonry is a lower order and is nothing but an entry way to a higher order. Free Masonry in itself is nothing but a doorway.
Not necessarily. There are a lot of people, Masons included, who would like to believe there's an unbroken chain going back hundreds of years that directly ties the original Knights Templar to the Masons, but so far nobody has found such a link.

Am I correct in assuming the Masons are a later development of the Knights Templar
It appears to be so
