Many have tried in the past to revive the Illuminati over the past 200 years, but most attempts only ever won over a few members and then died away.
Because the order was formed at a time when there was a craze for secret organisations, the group's legacy is pretty unremarkable, explains Markner.
Nonetheless, it has become the fixation of many conspiracy theorists who claim that it is still in some way controlling the world.
The wild theories started just two years after the group collapsed, when many claimed the Illuminati had started the protests that led to the French Revolution. But Markner rubbishes these claims, saying "this allegation was clearly false, but has remained popular ever since."
Historians have been able to document its decline, so the evidence that it stayed active even after its dissolution is very thin. But nevertheless, the Illuminati is still "the quintessential secret society plotting sinister conspiracies", thanks to writers like Dan Brown who wrote the novel Angels and Demons, says the historian.
We may never know the full extent of the Illuminati's influence, but there is no doubt that the cult status of this originally small Bavarian reading group will not die down anytime soon.
