Illuminati was the name given to a hidden society who aims to control the world and not allow people to live their lives in peace. The so-called "All-Seeing Eye" is also the symbol of the secret society known as Illuminati. The concept of Illuminati is something which is famous and people are cognizant about its existence. But, they are not really sure about whether it is the thing of myth, legend and superstition.

If the conspiracy theorists are to be believed, then it is real thing to wonder that how the hidden society has gained so much of prominence and how people have joined this society as it is not popular.
