This section of the video exemplifies the common flaw of using modern standards to pass judgement on historical figures. The segment opens with the portrayal of an inverted pentagram, with sinister flames behind the symbol. The inverted pentagram has a long history, and only took on negative connotations in the last one hundred years. Joseph Smith and others of his day would have known the symbol from, among other places, its Masonic use, where it symbolized light from the heavens to man.
The inverted pentogram is found in many contexts, including the Congressional Medal of Honor, on
the Great Star Flag of the United States (used from 1837 to 1845), as well as in the cathedrals of Chartes and Amiens in France[1].
