Washington DC Map Templates

16th Street

While it is not symmetrical around the N-S axis at the CB, the map is symmetrical around the 16th Street axis at the WH. Folding the map along the axis line of the WH will show you 32nd Street in Geogretown (in the northwest) matching N-S Capitol Street. Notice how the distance between the four vertical axes that correspond to the corners of the pentagram is 1/8th the distance from 0 to 32.

The streets around the White House are all lines connecting these five points. The only two line segments in that set that aren't streets are painted yellow below. The longer of these two runs from the junction of New Hampshire Avenue and 16th Street to the Capitol Street just south of the CB. As you can see, it points to the spot on the straightened Pennsylvania Avenue that I suggest that the CB 'should' occupy. I shift the CB to here when I do my re-draw of the map.

The Tree of Life

Continuing to fill in the rhombus grid we begin to see a cube overlapping the pentagon (below), then the Tree of Life image. Note that the positions below are derived from the redrawn map, with the CB moved to where Penn Ave is straight.

This is the model for the above, it's the first published copy of the Tree .

Metatron's Cube

This version of the Tree fits into Metatron's Cube like this. Since we have matched the Tree to the Cube, and we have pointed out the Tree in the map, we should now be able to find the rest of the cube in the map. [Note that the Tree and Cube each use a diferrent logic; while the Tree is composed of plane figures like the triangle, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon, the Cube consists of three axes (each featuring five circles). This means that we will be using Daath (black above) instead of spheres two and three on the tree (the top corners of the pentagram) for the map cube.]

It should be clear by now that the middle axis of the map cube is 16th Street running N-S through the pentagram and the White House, which lies at the center of the figure. One of the diagonal axes in the map (running from the NW corner to the SE corner of the map cube) is Pennsylvannia Avenue, while the other (from NE to SW) is NY Ave.

The bottom right hand corner is the new CB position. The upper right hand corner lies on North Capitol Street where NY Ave crosses that at N Street.

If we follow N Street back to the west, we see that it runs through Scott Circle at what would be Daath on the Tree, until it crosses Pennsylvania Avenue at 32nd St in Georgetown. The bottom left corner can be found by dropping a vertical from here until it meets the extended New York Ave and the line directly east from the CB.

Both the Tree of Life and Metatron's Cube match the DC map indicating that they were used for templates for the plan.

The Dodecahedron

If you have studied 'sacred geometry' much, you probably already know that all of the Platonic Solids can be 'derived' from Metatron's Cube. In the pane on the left below, we see that the thirteen circles of the Cube correspond to the twelve faces of the stellated dodecahedron, plus the front corner (12 around 1, like Moses and the tribes of Jesus and the disciples, the sun and zodiac signs). The other two panes illustrate how the Tree of Life maps to the dodecahedron. By implication, this means that the elements of the DC map also map to the dodecahedron.

As you can see, only six faces of the dodecahedron are visible at a time, meaning that six of the circles in the Cube correspond to dodecahedron faces that are hidden from view. The Cube is composed of two rings of six circles each around the central circle. Three of the circles in each ring correspond to dodecahedron faces that can be seen, while three of them correspond to faces on the other side.

Imagining our map cube we can say that Scott Cr (at Daath, black dot above, not marked on the Tree), the National Archives (at sphere 7) and the Navy Medical and Surgical Center (at sphere 8) corespond to 'front' faces, while Washington Circle, Mt Vernon Square and the Washington Monument (5,4 and 9) all associated with GWashington, correspond to faces on the 'back' side, which is just like the front except that it is reversed or rotated 180 degrees.

Scale

One of the first things that we notice about the pentagram in the map is that is short and wide, it is not a 'regular' polygon in that it's sides are not of equal length. Rather than fitting inside of a circle the map figure fits inside of an ellipse (a short circle).

We see two other ellipses on 16th Street, one is called the Ellipse and is located just south of the pentagram and the WH.

The other is at Scott Circle, north of the WH, which consists of a shortened hexagram.

We also see a shortened hexagon with it's top point at Scott Circle, bounded by 8th and 23 St's.

The shortened pentagram, hexagram and ellipse are all the result of reducing the figure of Metatron's Cube to 75% of it's height. That is, the planners shortened Metatron's Cube in order to use it for a template for the map plane, but why? Whether you call it Metatron's Cube, or ad quadtratum or a rhombus grid, the fact remains that the template used for the map was built around a hexagram, that has been either reduced in height, or widened.

As a test of this hypothesis I would like to start with the map and project Metatron's Cube on it and compare the two. First I will alter the map image until the angle of New Hampshire Avenue matches the big triangle in the Cube image. As you can see, both rectangles in the cube fit the map. One could use this image to project the correct position of the Jefferson Memorial (at the bottom circle here).

Next we broaden our scope a little bit by reducing the magnification of the map by one level and doubling the size of the cube. Matching the center of the cube with the White House, and the triangle in the cube with New Hampshire Ave helps locate the other elements in the map cube. Note that the inner rectangle below corresponds to the outer one above.

If we remove the cube overlay and once again reduce the height of the map, we have a copy of the corrected map cube.

52 Degrees

If we measure the figure formed by connecting the dots of the map pentagram we can see that the result of this shortening is to reduce the equilateral traingles with 60 degree angles to an isoceles triangle with 52 degree base angles, just like the cross-section of the Great Pyramid; meaning that the Cube was reduced to match the pyramid cross-section.

The pyramid looks like this in the shortened Cube figure.

Another result of this reduction is to change the angle formed by the diagonal in the rectangle in the Cube from 30 to 23.5 degrees. So, if we take a hexagram and inscribe it inside a circle two of the corners point to 30 degrees north latitude, so to speak, the location of the Great Pyramid, the cross-section of which is not 60 degrees, but 52 degrees. And if we reduce the hexagram in a circle so that the triangle has 52 degree base angles, the corners of the reduced hexagon produce 23.5 degree angles just like the tropics. This is exactly what we see at Scott Circle.

The Washington Monument

If you look at the elements in the pyramid the first thing that you notice is that the QC is offset from the KC. Looking closer you can see that the passage leading to the QC has a two foot step down in it, and that the QC is offset to the right as well as down in relationship to the KC. Looking at the map we notice that the WM is likewise offset to the WH. If you look in the right place you can find that the monument is offset 371 ft east of the N-S line through the WH (16th Street), and 123 ft south of the E-W line through the CB.

Further comparing the map and pyramid shows that Potomac Ave looks a lot like the Descending Passage and Penn Ave like the Ascending Passage and Grand Gallery, even with the Great Step at the top of the Gallery at the entrance to the KC. The map is overlaid with the pyramid image top compare. The fit is greatly improved if we straighten Penn Ave.

Q.E.D. It appears that Metatron's Cube was reduced so as to accomodate the additional use of the Pyramid cross-section as one of the templates for the map.
