"Los Illuminados" is a term often associated with a secret society or group believed to possess special knowledge or enlightenment. The name translates to "The Illuminated Ones" in English and is sometimes linked to various conspiracy theories that suggest they manipulate world events from behind the scenes. Historically, the concept of illumination has roots in the Enlightenment period, where reason and individualism were emphasized. Some theories connect "Los Illuminados" to the Illuminati, a group that allegedly seeks to control global affairs, although many claims lack credible evidence and are often regarded as fictional or exaggerated.
