Conspiracy beleivers will often point to the latin words on the reverse of the US $1 for evidence of a NWO. However, Let us use translations to debunk this.
1.annuit coeptis-agreed to undertakings
Details: It was Taken from the
Latin words annuo (third-person singular present or perfect annuit), "to nod" or "to approve", and coeptum (plural coepta), "commencement, undertaking", it is literally translated, "He approves (has approved) of the undertakings". Nothing to do with a NWO.
2.novo ordo seclorum- A new order of the ages.
The phrase Novus ordo seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages") appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, first designed in 1782 and printed on the back of the United States one-dollar bill since 1935. The phrase also appears on the coat of arms of the Yale School of Management, Yale University's business school. The phrase is also mistranslated as "New World Order" by many people who believe in a conspiracy behind the design; however, it does directly translate to "New Order of the Ages"
The phrase is taken from the fourth Eclogue of Virgil, which contains a passage (lines 5-8) that reads:
Latin English
Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis ætas; Now comes the final era of the Sibyl's song;
Magnus ab integro sæclorum nascitur ordo. The great order of the ages is born afresh.
iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna, And now justice returns, honored rules return;
iam nova progenies cælo demittitur alto. now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.
The forms saecla, saeclorum etc. were normal alternatives to the more common saecula etc. throughout the history of Latin poetry and prose.
The form saeculorum is impossible in hexameter verse: the ae and o are long, the u short by position. For the medieval exchange between ae, æ and e, see Æ; the word medieval (mediæval) itself is another example.
Medieval Christians read Virgil's poem as a prophecy of the coming of Christ. The Augustan Age, although pre-Christian, was viewed as a golden age preparing the world for the coming of Christ. The great poets of this age were viewed as a source of revelation and light upon the Christian mysteries to come. The word seclorum does not mean "secular", as one might assume, but is the genitive (possessive) plural form of the word saeculum, meaning (in this context) generation, century, or age. Saeculum did come to mean "age, world" in late, Christian Latin, and "secular" is derived from it, through secularis. However, the adjective "secularis," meaning "worldly," is not equivalent to the genitive plural "seclorum," meaning "of the ages.Thus the motto Novus ordo seclorum can be translated as "A new order of the ages." It was proposed by Charles Thomson, the Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of the United States, to signify "the beginning of the new American Era" as of the date of the Declaration of Independence. Now, The conspiracy believers will scramble the word definitions to make evidence for their case, However, Their supposed translation is highly innacurate. Here are the differences in translation.
World-mundi
Seclorum-ages
ACTUAL ENGLISH TO LATIN TRANSLATION OF NEW WORLD ORDER.
New World Order-mundus ordinem
I found no resources where mundus ordinem is found on the great seal at all. And, The eye on the Pyramid is NOT a masonic symbol nor has it ever been one.
Conclusion.
There is no dark subliminal mystery behind the Great seal, nor does it point towards a NWO.
