The simple fact is that the eye in the pyramid is not now nor has it ever been a Masonic symbol.
The 'Eye of Providence', sometimes referred to in Masonic ritual as the "All-Seeing Eye" (of Deity) is found in the ritual of most jurisdictions, reminding a Mason that his words and deeds are being judged by the Supreme Architect of the Universe. The pyramid appears in the ritual of some (not all) jurisdictions and represents the great builders of the past. However, their combined usage is essentially non-existent except by a few fanciful representations done by individuals whose imagination has soared beyond that of the black text ritual. There is NO 'official' combination of the eye and the/a pyramid!
The infrequency of the combined eye/pyramid usage was much more clear to this site's author when, in preparation for this page, we looked for a single example of an emblem or other "Masonic" eye in a pyramid. we couldn't find one! Nearly three years after this page was first written and after hundreds of thousands of 'hits', we've been provided with only two examples which might be an eye in a pyramid (although arguably, it could just as readily be an eye in a triangle). Please see the bottom of this page.
