The Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine of North and South America and Its Jurisdictions, Inc. has a long and colorful history. From the historical records of Mecca Temple No. 10, Oasis of Washington, Desert of the District of Columbia (A.E.A.O.N.M.S., Inc .), John George Jones, the founder, is said to have been introduced to the ritualistic mysteries of the Order by one Ali Rofelt Pasha, Deputy, and a representative from the Grand Council of Arabia, during the World’s Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.  Within days of this honor, Noble Jones, along with 13 other Prince Hall Masons, would organize Palestine Temple in the Apollo Hall on State Street, which would lead to the establishment of the Imperial Grand Council of Prince Hall Shriners, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine (A.A.O.N.M.S.) on June 10, 1893.
