Zooming into the area in front of the Capitol Building, many researchers have identified
masonic compasses built into the street plan.
The compasses that run along Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues point to the White House
and the Jefferson memorial.
The spread of the compasses is one royal mile.
I might chalk this up to coincidence if it wasn't for the diagram Richard Heath has published
in Sacred Number.
Heath's diagram is drawn as a grid of equilateral triangles so every edge measures one royal
mile.
The Jefferson memorial, White House, and House of the Temple are centrally located on these
nodes.
The point of the Pentagon facing the White House is at this node.
This is simply too much coincidence to have not been the product of intentional design.
I find the ancient Flower of Life diagram fits perfectly into this grid.
The Flower of Life has been found all over the world.
Wikipedia lists the Flower of Life in 15 countries so far.
Here's the Flower of Life at the Osirion Temple in Abydos Egypt, which is a minimum of 3300
years old.
It's a little known fact that Leonardo da Vinci even studied the Flower of Life.
This is the second depiction of a cube we've seen in DC.
Metrology, the science of measurement, is one of the keys to deciphering secret architecture.
Each side of the larger cube spans two triangles, forming an edge length equal to 2 royal miles.
The polar radius of the earth is 1728 times 2 royal miles.
This equals the 3456 royal miles referenced by the Edinburgh royal mile.
The number 1728 links DC with the mythical New Jerusalem described in the Bible:
"And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured
the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."
-Rev 21:16 The dimensions of New Jerusalem describe a
cube whose volume is 1728 billion furlongs.
Did you ever wonder why the US and Israel have such a strong bond?
DC is the New Jerusalem.
Here's the 1992 Israeli Supreme Court building in Jerusalem.
Does this pyramid on top containing a window look familiar?
It appears to be the eye of providence, the same symbol found in the streets of DC and
on the dollar bill.
Many researchers have seen the Tree of Life from Jewish mysticism encoded in DC's traffic
circles and monuments.
However, DCsymbols.com is the only place that shows how streets and traffic circles match
this early depiction of the Portae Lucis Tree of Life from 1516.
The portal of light version is shaped like an actual tree; maybe that's where the tree
of life got its name.
Scott Circle's gently curving streets mimic the shape of a Pythagorean "Y".
In The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capitol, author David Ovason says:
"The Pythagorean Y is a vestigal drawing of a path through life, in which one is perpetually
presented with a choice of symbolic directions...Should one do good, or bad?"
Scott Circle is in the position in the Tree of Life known as Daath, the hidden sephiroth.
According to the Kabbalah, the reason Daath is depicted as hidden is because humans who
remain selfish cannot see it.
Only those who orient themselves in the service of others are able to see light of Daath in
which all 10 sephiroth are united as one.
I think Scott Circle exemplifies the secret architecture of DC.
It's plain to see once you have the knowledge but remains hidden to the general public.
Most people who know the tree of life are more familiar with the Athanesius Kircher
version of 1652 which is arranged in three columns.
The Kircher version is seen here in John Evelyn's plan to rebuild London after the great fire
of 1666.
Both he and Christopher Wren submitted plans based on the Tree of Life although Wren's
wasn't as in-your-face as Evelyn's.
Neither were actually carried out, but it shows you this kind of esoteric symbolism
wasn't anything new when DC was laid out a century after the great fire of London.
As you've seen there is a deep connection to Judaism both in the Tree of Life and the
metrology of Richard Heath's larger cube that links Washington DC with the mythical New
Jerusalem in the Bible.
To understand why both the Flower of Life and Tree of Life are in DC you need a 1 minute
visual education in sacred geometry: The Flower of Life grows on the Tree of Life.
Flower of Life geometry is based on the 2D reality that 6 circles fit perfectly around
a central seventh, shown here with quarters.
Flowers eventually bear fruit and with a growth of circles we have the traditional Fruit of
Life diagram containing 13 circles.
Connecting the dots reveals Metatron's Cube, an important diagram in the study of sacred
geometry.
It was named after the biblical figure Enoch who was transformed into the archangel Metatron.
Metatron's Cube contains the 5 Platonic solids both in smaller and larger scales, like a
fractal.
Platonic solids figure prominently in Plato's philosophy after whom they were named.
The dots in the interstices encode the pattern of two intersecting Pythagorean tetractyses.
This is the pattern on the dollar bill in what is called glory above the eagle's head.
Pythagoreans swore an oath to the tetractys which was the most important symbol in their
secret worship of number.
All of this symbolism is interconnected in a system.
Masons study for years to understand these things and advance through their degrees.
Freemasonry is a remnant of an ancient mystery school.
Look at how many Lucky 13's are on the Obverse of the great seal.
We've already seen the 13 stars of glory over the eagle's head.
In the eagle's claws there are 13 arrows, 13 leaves on the branches hold 13 olives,
and there are 13 stripes on the shield.
Perhaps having 13 colonies was no accident.
Curiously, the eagle has only nine tail feathers.
Everything has a meaning in symbolism.
The 13th degree of Scottish Freemasonry is called the Royal Arch of Solomon.
It's about Enoch, descent into a vault, the arch, a triangle of gold, a cube of agate,
and the name of God.
Enoch supposedly excavated nine chambers (think of the tail feathers) underneath the temple
mount in Jerusalem, one below the other, each with a supporting arch.
In the final chamber he placed a cube of agate inset with a triangle of gold engraved with
the holy name of God.
By this sacred geometry, Rick Campbell has shown Enoch's cube is in fact Metatron's cube;
the triangle within the cube.
The name of God shown in Hebrew is called the Tetragrammaton, most sacred four letter
word in Judaism.
The letters of the tetragrammaton are traditionally shown in the Pythagorean tetractys because
it encodes the Shemhamphorasch or names of God which in Jewish mystical tradition corresponds
to 72 arrangements of the four holy letters.
The practice of assigning numbers to letters is called gematria.
Here we see how the letters in Enoch's triangle encode the number 72, the number of names
of God.
Here is Athanasius Kircher's depiction of the 72 names.
When you get deep enough into most religions, you eventually encounter a belief in the sacredness
of number.
Enoch was supposedly transformed into the Archangel Metatron when he was 365 years old,
his age being an obvious solar reference.
Speaking of solar men being elevated to the divine, let's look at the Capitol Building
Rotunda.
This center point of American democracy figured
prominently in Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.
Investigative mythologist William Henry has interpreted the significance of the Capitol
building as the solemn temple at the heart of America.
Looking up through the oculus in the capitol dome we see Constantino Brumidi's huge fresco
entitled Apotheosis of George Washington.
The word apotheosis means elevation of a man into God.
George Washington is sitting on a rainbow up in the clouds surrounded by 13 maidens
and flanked by the goddesses Liberty and Victory.
Henry has dug up what was probably Brumidi's inspiration for depicting Washington riding
on a rainbow in front of a star gate.
Here Jesus is doing the same.
Both are man become God.
The fresco at the heart of america clearly elevates Washington into some kind of solar
deity.
Six allegorical groupings in a hexagonal arrangement tell stories centered on the ancient gods
Mercury, Vulcan, Ceres, Minerva, Neptune, and Columbia.
What does all this pagan symbolism have to do with the official history of the United
States?
Nothing.
There are 72 stars surrounding the fresco recalling the names of God in jewish mystical
tradition.
An astronomical take on this number of stars is the fact that it takes 72 years for the
Earth to precess one degree.
We'll be learning more about the precessional cycle in Rome.
Looking deeper, there are several crypto-references to the Egyptian goddess Isis particularly
in the allegory of Agriculture.
Flora with exposed breast and Young America in Liberty cap stand in front of Ceres, goddess
of Agriculture.
A sheaf of wheat is often used to depict the goddess of nature, shown here as Virgo.
Exposed breasts and the Liberty cap are well known attributes of Isis used extensively
during the French revolution.
Here the symbols are shown together in Delacroix's Liberty Guiding the People.
The Goddesses personified on both sides of the Atlantic as Nature, Reason, Liberty, Freedom,
and Columbia are all esoteric references to the Egyptian Goddess Isis.
Here's a silver dollar showing Liberty with a Liberty cap on a pole.
This particular coin happens to be worth well over six figures today.
The seal of the US Senate shows the now familiar red cap as well.
To top it off the goddess Freedom on the outside of the capitol dome, and recently in the middle
of the Capitol visitor's center, are yet more depictions of you know who.
The architects of the capitol are clearly obsessed with the secret worship of Isis.
Following the Goddess Liberty upward we see how the entire District of Columbia was originally
surveyed in 1791.
The mile markers are placed Ad Quadratum, just like the elevation of the House of the
Temple built more than a century later.
This later organic interruption in the lower portion of the square became Alexandria, Virginia.
In the ancient world Isis had an important temple on the island of Pharos, just outside
Alexandria, Egypt.
Pharos was the location of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, wonder of the ancient world.
The light that shone from it was the Stella Maris, star of the sea, one of many epithets
for Isis.
The highest point in Alexandria, Virginia has a replica of the ancient Lighthouse in
the form of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial.
George Washington and many of the founding fathers were of course well known Freemasons.
Pay special attention to the three cubes forming the body of the lighthouse.
We'll see this symbolism again in London and finally decode it in Paris.
How is it that we keep finding secret connections to Isis and ancient Egypt in a country that
has no ostensible reason to make this symbolic linkage?
