Metatron's Cube

Here is a recent aerial photo to use for reference.

This image marks the major landmarks in the DC map layout.

In these images, it is easy to see both the pentagram and New Hampshire Avenue touching two points of that. The pentagram alone accounts for 6 of the eleven points of the Tree of Life; spheres 2-6, as well as Daath located at Scott Circle, north of the White House, where the diagonals of the pentagram cross. The other points are Logan Circle, DuPont Cr, Washington Cr, Mt Vernon Square, and the White House, all of which fall right where they need to be on the tree/cube.

Six of the points lie on or adjacent to the 16th Street axis, the House of the Temple at the top, on the east side of the street, Scott Circle where the diagonals of the pentagram cross, north of the White House, the White House, the Washington Monument which was located 371 feet east of the axis due to marshy ground at the axis, and the Jefferson Memorial, also on the axis.

That's all but two of eleven (including Daath) accounted for by the axis and the pentagram. The only ones missing at the Archives and the Medical Center.


Note how NH Ave (in yellow below) is directed at the Custis-Lee Mansion in Arlington, the location of the National Cemetery. [Robert E. Lee, who married a descendent of Mary Custis (George Washington's wife, who inherited the land), was the last private owner of the property.] As you can see, a line from that point back toward the city (in purple) passes through the Lincoln Memorial (circled in purple) and is directed to the Ellipse, south of the White House. This line is parallel to the other sets of purple lines that connect points on the pentagram.

The streets were numbered beginning at the Capitol Building (in the green rectangle), so the blue axiis at 8th Street, 16th Street, etc., effectively quarter the city east and west. Rememeber that the two versions of the cube have 13 and 19 circles, and note that Logan and DuPont Circles (at the top corners of the pentaram) are located on the 13th and 19th Street axiis (in orange below), half way between the blue axiis. 32nd Street is in Georgetown.

As noted above, the 16th Street axis, provides the location of six of spheres on the tree. In the image below we see the Scottish Rites House of the Temple (at the top) and the Jefferson Memorial (at the bottom) circled in blue. The White House is marked by a red square.

The National Archives Building (circled in blue) lies half way between the White House and the Capitol, where PA (in green) crosses the blue axis. The Navy Medical and Surgical Center is sligthly offset from the axis on the west side. Extending PA to the NW past the WH, locates the corner of the large rectangle opposite to the Capitol, at Georgetown where the avenue cross the blue axis there.

The reason that I have painted the Capitol and two of the streets a differnt color (green) will become apparent when you look at the following image which illustrates the fact that Penn Ave has been constructed in three different sections. In order for the avenue to run straight all the way from Georgetown to the East Branch, the CB would have been located to the south a bit.

The topographic image below shows us why the Capitol was located where it was. The spot on the blue axis that would have provided a straight avenue, was located on the side of a steep hill. The building was simply moved due north to the next best location on that line.

If you look at the pair of lines coming from the west side of the CB (segments of Penn and Maryland Ave's) you will see that they are symmetrical to one another. This means that both of these streets were shifted when the CB was displaced; which also relocated the Jeff Mml (circled in green) at the SW end of Maryland Ave.

This means that if the CB had been placed further south, Penn Avenue would have been straight (meaning a diff angle), which would have changed the angle of Maryland Ave, thereby relocating the Jeff Mml and the National Archives Bldg (in the green square) on PA between the CB and WH. If you go back a page and look at the hexagon in the map, you see that the bottom of that figure is distorted; and that is because the CB and Jeff Mml are displaced.

Moving the CB would also put it in the correct spot in relationship to the corners of the rectangle, which we see re-drawn (in purple) above. This shows the CB and Georgetown at two corners, and the opposite, un-marked corners, as well as Scott Circle in the pentagram in the middle of the top side of the rectangle, and the Wash Mmt, which would lie north of the bottom line of the new figure.
