Illuminati

Illuminati is a name attributed to various secret societies, historically referring to a purportedly influential group believed to manipulate global events from behind the scenes. Originally founded in 1776 as the Bavarian Illuminati, a short-lived Enlightenment-era secret society, the term has since evolved in conspiracy theories to describe shadowy elites controlling governments, economies, and media.

Modern science and historical research regard the contemporary concept of the Illuminati as a myth rooted in folklore and fear of hidden power structures rather than provable fact. Its persistence in popular culture is often explained by cognitive biases, pattern-seeking behavior, and the human tendency to create narratives to explain complex social and political phenomena.
