With names like Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia, it is clear that the Virgin's Dream of Kingdom Come was on the minds of the Founding Fathers. This message has been at the heart of every religion known to man. Why? Because the purpose of all religion is to pass to future generations the experience of past generations. Knowledge is not a sign of wisdom, for arrogant fools know everything. Solomon failed to pass on his wisdom to his son. In so living he demonstrated that the wisest man in the Bible was simply a fool who knew not how to show the Stairway to Heaven found by his father to his son. This is why the Mystery Cults were created by wise men. Experience at unraveling the mysteries of life is the Stairway to Heaven.

Same message as Stariway.gif.

This image reveals the transfer of life from the Father of Time, Uranus-Sebek, to the Son of Time, Zeus-Jupiter. Saturn, which is Time itself, Cronus, is Horus the Bull between Libra and Virgo. This is the location of the Last Judgment before rebirth in Virgo. Thus, the Father of Time ascends to Heaven Above at Cancer-Khephera, and the Son of Time descends to Earth at Hathor's Star. In these three generations we are given the key to witnessing the Logos of the Saint Paul, which he saw as a light on the road to Damascus. The Solomon Key is in the hands of Bootes. It is the Plow of Truth. "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62

Mother's Sons are not privy to the Secret Codes because the Father's Sons are raised under a Code of Silence under penalty of death. The process of initiation into the Mystery of Life requires self discovery as a result of painful gain in a land of the Begotten Son. Balance requires that the arrogant children be silent so that the truth seeking children can climb the ladders and stairways to heaven with the force of their own souls. To understand the secrets encoded in plans for any City of God, the importance of secrecy can only be revealed to the seeker by seeking. There is no secrecy in a Mother's Breast. There is only bondage. The Heavenly Father, and all sons who rise to the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin will inherit the throne of the Father on the Lion's back. A Mother's Righteousness leads the way to the Father's Righteousness as the self seeking child of the "I Am This I Am" discovers the Divine Self within the "I AM THAT I AM." When the Father's Righteousness is accepted, the seeker receives by a process of Free Will. If this were not true, then the Father in Heaven would be a tyrant. Yet, Free Will is Freedom's Perch, and that very fact proves that the Washington, D.C. is the City of God of "novus ordo seclorum" for the sake of "e pluribus unum" by the virtue of "annuit coeptus." In other words, when we put aside or childish thoughts we begin to align ourselves to the stars in heaven. That is the ultimate secret that is within the Father's Code, and Da Vinci's True Code. Arrogance and timidity are two sides of imbalance. The Man In The Middle has an eye for both hands and can distinguish one from the other. Arrogant fools cannot tell right from left.

GIZA, USA

Any one who can see Da Vinci's Code in the Right Eye and hands of the Man In The Middle, can read a One Dollar Bill. An All Seeing Eye is one that can read the mind of a Medusa. Most importantly, an eye that can see All, will have the power to seek true justice with vision in balance. The left eye is a symbol of the passive eye that witnesses the passing of truth. The right is the active eye that project truth received and enhances the vision of righteousness. That is why the one dollar bill has two left eyes in it roundels. They say to all who would succeed, "Pay attention."

The layout of the monumental construction west of the Masonic Compass reveals the same celestial correspondence implied by the oldest image of the founding of Egypt by the Scorpion King. It shows Bootes with a Virgin's Crown with a welcome matt placed before his feet as he sees before his eyes the desire for Seventh Heaven, which is King Scorpion's Flower. This is the path of righteousness, which is the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mother. It is so old a concept, that no archaeological discovery has been able to predate it. The Magdalenian caves in Southern France (circa 30,000 BC) reveal the Dream of Kingdom Come that was present when the Father of Time conceived the Birth of Time as an intermediate step on the way to Reason. It is not the Big Bang Universe of modern material arrogance. It is the Heavenly Father's Intent that Earthly Fathers would share Free Will with grandchildren throughout the ages. This process can only be accomplished if the Grandchildren can find the Truth under the Rock of Ages at the entrance to the Elysian Field. The very same message can be read in the cave art of the Australian Aborigine (Father Original) that is dated by some to exceed 50,000 years. The message is simple. A father must guide without bondage the fathers to be in the eternal journey toward Kingdom Come. Prophesy is the essence of all Mystical Codes. The mystery is how will a son become a father. There is no mystery in how a daughter is made a mother, but genetic wisdom is not all that has been created. On the contrary, genetic wisdom is that physical knowledge that is passed from father to son through an habitual organism ruminating without reason and through a rational mind that that can be raised by reason to the enlightenment that all action results from intent. That intent which planned the movement of the stars is the Heavenly Father's Will. The mortal mind that can connect the dots on the cosmic wall will realize that the paw of the Great Sphinx has the Regulator of Time.

The sA of Egypt is Heaven's Gate through which the king has passed.
The sA of Columbia is One with the sA of Egypt.
Columbia's secret code is a message of trust in the Heavenly Father.

Zaniah is the star once known as the "Harlot of Babylon" and it rose in the east over Freedom's Perch from Washington monumental phallus. This is the Gate of Heaven (Babylon) and can only be passed by the desire for personal righteousness on a path toward the Heavenly Father in the Garden of Paradise. It is the Immaculate Conception of the dream of Kingdom Come which a mortal must pass from father to son on a Day of Judgment. It is not the judgment of the son, but judgment of the father that determines the course through Heaven's Gate. This gate requires that each rational mind be born of the virgin so that the legacy of past communication is not broken by a Solomon in a quest for Delilah.

Mintaka is the third star in the Strong Man's belt. It is the Star of the Son of God, and it is the star toward which the Great Sphinx gazes. The Great Sphinx was the body of the lioness Sekhmet (Virgo-Leo), the Teacher of Righteousness, with the head of a man looking toward the future in the east. A man's head on an image of Virgo and Leo says that a rational prophetic conception had been conceived without mistake. The Man, Arcturus, the Woman, Spica, and the Pride, Regulus, are joined in a trinity of Father, Mother, and Son. This is not a provable tenet, it is the Immaculate Conception known only to those mortals who have mastered the Agony in the Garden to set aside self will for the sake of the will of the Heavenly Father. In Egypt, this was the Flight of Isis upon which she embarked when Osiris had become a legacy of a dream. In her dream of his legacy, she impregnated herself with the intent of Osiris and brought forth a son for the sake of Kingdom Come. All these mysterious actions are not denial of the Medusa's Face, they are the process though which a mind ascends Jacob's Ladder and any Stairway to Heaven. But, for a mind to accomplish the cosmic journey it must be born of the spirit of the Father in Heaven. This was the Legacy of Horus and the Legacy of Mary's Immaculate Conception. This is the meaning of the correlation of Washington's Monumental Phallus and the Virgin's star, Spica. Death is not an option to life. Death is a loss of options for life. Yet, if a mortal can establish a legacy for generations, then that mortal will live on in memoriam for generations to come.

So what is the great moral in the Kite of Isis that can be seen in the overview of the Mall of Washington, D.C.? It is a moral that shows a Mason's Compass in the East, and the Divine Compass of the Teacher of Righteousness in the West. What is the essence of a moral code, if not that human designs should reflect the designs of the Heavenly Father? There can be no greater wisdom than that which reveals the purpose for Free Will without destroying the process of freedom that allows for the pursuit of happiness by free will. That is why Freedom stands oriented to Zaniah on a rotunda like the navel of a mother with child. Freedoms birthplace was memorialized in Columbia's District from heaven above to the earth below.  That is also why the memorial to Abraham Lincoln occupies the orientation to Mintaka, for he was a son of Columbia who saw the legacy of the forefathers and saved a nation when self desire had brought it to its knees as brother fought brother in an echo of Osiris and Seth, and Cain and Abel.

Although many would ponder the rose line of Washington, D.C. Do not fall for these street cars named desire for they deny the memoriam of our forefathers. The rose line and prime meridian of Columbia's district runs true north from Jefferson's Rotunda to the President's Mansion. The guiding influence of any memorial is that it inspires future generations to strive and to reach the dream of Kingdom Come for which the memorials were created. These monumental constructs are not meant for fools to ponder, but for great men to emulate. If there is doubt that the architects had resolved this design, then consider the two triangles on either side of America's Rose Line. To the left the angle between the Rose Line and line between the White House and the Lincoln Memorial is essentially the same as the side slope of the Khufu (51.8°) and Menkaure (51.3°) pyramids of Giza. It would not be out of line to say that the message is that the Father and Son are one, for the Khufu pyramid is dedicated to the Father of Time, and the Menkaure pyramid is dedicated to the Son of Time, or Reason. The line between the Jefferson Memorial, which has a rotunda to signify mother, and the Lincoln Memorial is the same as the side slope of the Khafre (53.1°) pyramid, which has the Great Sphinx (Virgo-Leo-Mintaka) resting along side its causeway. The three great pyramids at Giza are clearly represented by the architecture of the City of God called Washington in the District of Columbia. So, what of the Masonic Compass and the symbol of the soul to the east of the Rose Line with the apex at the feet of the Stature of Freedom on the rotunda of the Capitol Building? Is not this the legacy of all ancestors that their descendants should extend the boundary of the soul farther with each generation. This is the purpose of ancestors and they have told us so in many ways. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Did the Egyptians and the Masons have something in common? The evidence is overwhelming that they both drew the same understanding from the Heavenly Lights. Egypt was a land famous for many forms and forums of religious freedom that revealed the Cosmic Plan. America has no less goal. The pyramid texts clearly say, "The king must return to the imperishable stars." On that premise they designed the City of God at Giza. It would be the highest folly to assume that the Masonic Code did not carry the same light from above.

Did the Masonic architects know from personal thoughts the Holistic Mind of God? Or, does their work declare that the Mind of God will reveal itself to that man-child who seeks and finds Truth that sets one Free? Chance could not have designed the city in the District of Columbia. Yet, if the Masonic architects did not build the Temple of God in accordance with the fundamental tenet of the compass and square, then God Almighty must have intervened without their knowing. An it can be easily proven that God does such things, if we destroy the Intent of our forefathers, we are simply denying the legacy of our own souls. Which love would be greater, that of God directly, or that of God through benevolent ancestors? In either case the message is that a Gateway to Heaven sits in the architecture at America's Rose Line.

The Da Vinci Code was clearly revealed in Leonardo's Last Supper. But, does that mean that the Holy Grail is the "V" between the "Man In The Middle" and the Face at the Comforter's Hand, and that the Holy Grail is Mary Magdalene as Dan Brown would fantasize? If that had been Leonardo's intent, then why do all the men at the table of the ecliptic reveal the stars on either side of Pisces? And, what of the grail of Vessica Pisces revealed in the hangings on the walls of the past and the future, the light and the dark? And let us not forget that the Eye of the Man in the Middle is at the apex of a triangle of his own two hands. What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it will achieve. That was the tenet of Leonardo and that is his secret code.

The designs of every great City of God constructed by any civilization have always carried the fundamental message that man does not know what God has not revealed. The Comforter is the Good Samaritan who pours Life Giving Waters on the head of a seeker of compassion. When compassion comes to the Man In The Middle, that Mother's Son will save a Lost Soul in a revelation of the All to the child of its Father. This is how Isis reincarnated her lost husband and brother. This is how it was intended to be done before the first sentimental memory found a monument on Earth.

Staying at the nadir while allowing the heavens to move to the position where Mintaka set in the west we see the ultimate meaning of "in memoriam." Rising from the depths of the galaxy is the tower of a King of Kings. It is also the Wailing Wall of the Eye of Hathor and the Jews. In the midst of the great wall a flying steed with the tale of a peacock and the face of a woman is bound. This is Al Buraq the wall, and the magical beast that Muhammad road to Seventh Heaven to start a New World Order six hundred and twenty years after the birth of Christ. The red line running through the heavens from bottom to top is square to the Rose Line at Giza, USA. The obelisk of the celestial tower below is a perfected message above where the great obelisk of America's First Father stands on the metaphor of the Virgin's Womb. As above, so below is proven again to be a reflection of the Moment of the First Occasion when the Creator said, "Let there be Light."

Rising straight up from the cosmic depths and beyond the cosmic heights without turning around we see what the celebration was all about. There on the meridian as Mintaka set in the west was Seventh Heaven. the little square at the zenith would have been directly above the memorial field between Freedom on the Capital Rotunda in the east, Lincoln's Eternal Throne House in the west, Jefferson's Rotunda in the south, the President's Mansion in the north, and the apex of Washington's Monument is the memorialized soul of the Birth of a Nation at Giza, USA. At that specific time and place, a nation was born of the Virgin and crossed the boundary into Kingdom Come.

When we look at the date of July 4, 1776 we see a conjunction of planets in Gemini. But, the conjunction does not say July 4, 1776, for the conjunction last for weeks. To find why the Masonic masters chose July 4, 1776 we have to look for a more convincing cosmic purpose. The answer is revealed in the movement of Wisdom, for the objective of all coded message is the wisdom they reveal. It was shown that Mintaka set on the true horizon at 4:33 PM. However, when we take refraction into consideration Mintaka appears to set at 4:36 PM. Why is three minutes so important? Because the wisdom in any revelation is in paying attention to and understanding the message revealed.

The urban designers could have left the details up to chance, but they were attempting to establish a place for supreme justice and they realized that an extra measure of precision was required. If later in history the people of the nation should wonder at the folly of their forefathers, they would be more likely to reject the forefathers based upon the attention to detail in their sacred plans. The image above shows that Mercury was retrograde on July 3, 1776 and it reentered Gemini from Cancer on July 4, 1776. Cancer is the house of sensitivity. It represents sensual acuity and the body's capacity to inform the mind of the situation in reality. If the mind does not pay attention to the senses, then the wisdom of Common Sense is lost to the meandering mind. By bringing into focus the reentry of Mercury, which is represented as the celestial orb of Wisdom, the urban planners were telling the future criticizes of the new nation to think twice before starting vast projects. The light of wisdom is the most valuable light we can receive. Even creatures that cannot sense the light of photons are capable of sensing the light of wisdom. Thus, the urban planners were saying, "Here is wisdom."

The elevation (declination) of a star or planet is the angular distance above the horizon, with ninety degrees elevation being directly over head. Mercury sat at +38°24'22" above the true western horizon at 4:33:20 PM on July 4, 1776. At 4:36:23 PM Mercury sat at +37°48'57" above the apparent horizon. It is at this angle that Mercury would have cast its shadow across the Washington Mall. So, what we must look for is evidence that the urban planners saw the wisdom of their actions in a synchronicity "as above, so below." If they chose the birth date of the nation based upon cosmic wisdom, they would have had the obligation to reveal the wisdom of their ways.

In 1940, a British Air Force pilot, P. Groves, was flying over the pyramids. He happened to notice the concavity of the sides of the Great Pyramid due to the shadow and captured it in the now-famous photograph. The upper section of the image above shows the shadow of the Khafre pyramid pointing toward the Great Sphinx in the Groves photograph. The shadow of a pyramid when the sun is below the angle of the opposite side of the pyramid produces two distinct shadow triangles. They are highlighted in red in the upper photograph section. The photo of the sun at the top of the Khafre pyramid provides a perspective looking past the pyramid to the west. The lower photograph captured from the Neave Earth web site shows the Menkaure pyramid and its causeway. Superimposed on the lower photograph is the shadow outline corresponding to the sun being at an azimuth angle less than the 51.3° slope of the sides. The artificial shadow was scaled based upon the proportion of the two triangles on the Washington Mall.

Assuming that the equality of the square and the circle was the intent of the urban planners, the Rose Line between the compass points on the mall would represent one quarter of the perimeter of the square base of the hypothetical pyramid. The Giza pyramids, particularly the Great Pyramid of Khufu was designed such that the perimeter of the pyramid was proportional to the height of the pyramid as the radius of the circle is proportional to the perimeter of the circle. The equation that applies is four times the side of the base of the pyramid is the perimeter of a circle whose radius is the height of the pyramid. Knowing that the height of the pyramid is proportional to the base we can then determine the elevation of the light that would cast a triangular shadow from the Rose Line to the Capitol Rotunda. Using the map photographs available on the internet at map sites for Giza and Washington and scaling the shadow to the Rose Line between the Jefferson Memorial and the White House we determined an azimuth angle of 37.41 degrees for the light that would produce the hypothetical shadow from the Rose Line to the axis of the Capitol Rotunda. The elevation of Mercury based upon the alignment of Mintaka to the apparent horizon in the west at the Washington Mall was determined using The Sky Level IV planetarium program. The value in decimal units was 37.82 degrees. That represents an error of only 0.41 degrees. The variation due to the refraction at the horizon was +38°24'22" at 4:33:20 PM  and +37°48'57" at 4:36:23 PM, or 0.59 degrees. The loss of precision is most likely due to the use of the images from the navigation map sites on the internet. However, the accuracy achieved in a cursor evaluation taking less than an hour is sufficient to confirm that the urban planners intended for July 4, 1776 to be the birthday of a nation that saw wisdom think twice, by Gemini.

Thus, the compass and the square on the Washington Mall were employed to tell the time of the birth of our nation. The vision of the urban planners can be seen on the back of the One Dollar Bill. The two roundels are a redacted horoscope that says, "Thus, a new order of the world was born on July 4, 1776." After 230 years and after the establishment of a fledgling democratic nation in the ancient land of Babylon, it is clear that the City of God designed by Washington's urban planners represented a new order of the ages. Giza, USA was designed to reveal the return of Osiris, the Egyptian Neter of Civil Planning. This is truly a memory worth preserving for all ages. The eagle on the back of the One Dollar Bill is the same message known to the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Zoroastrians, the Greeks, the Persians, the Romans, the Christians, the Maya, the Iroquois, the Algonquin, the Seminole, and all the Ab-Origine of the Great Mother Earth. That message is the message that Freedom wears on her helmet.

The message says, "Thank your lucky stars that you were given the gift of an Immaculate Conception and a free woman to carry the dream of freedom high on a perch in the City of God called Washington, D.C. America was conceived without sin, and as long as we can see the invisible soul of wisdom in the shadow outlines on Washington's Mall, we will be free to fly high as an eagle.

This memorial is dedicated to all the lost souls who celebrate life in the Ka of the dearly surviving for whom they fought so that the dream born on July 4, 1776 should not perish from the earth.  It is fitting that this vision should come down to earth at the beginning of Memorial Day weekend 230 years after the dream came to the earth. The nation born on the Fourth of July has been tested severely over the last four and one half years to determine whether the Virgin's Child should carry the children of tomorrow or whether one nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all should deny itself and mount a steed with the tail of a peacock and the face of a woman bound to a wailing wall in Jerusalem so as to rise to Seventh Heaven where the shaft to Love's Eye can be blocked by an angel's foot on a rock. The riders of Al Buraq may rationalize their wisdom as greater than the urban planners of Giza, USA, but they should be aware of the consequences of not respecting Mother Nature. It is not a Jihad that motivates the Mothers Sons, it is "e pluribus unum." Allah Akbar. God is great. God is One. In the City of God at Giza, USA, it has been proven, "So are the children of Columbia, Freedom, Liberty, and Justice for all." If there is to be peace throughout the land, then now is the time for all men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time to reveal The Solomon Key to all the children of the United States of America. The time to memorialize greatness is written in plane sight for all to see on the Nation's Mall.

GOD BLESSED AMERICA,
NOW AMERICA BLESS GOD

The Star at Foggy Bottom

The Washington Family, 1789-1796, oil on canvas, 213.6 x 284.2 cm (84 3/4 x 111 7/8 in.)
Andrew W. Mellon Collection 1940.1.2 by Edward Savage, American, 1761 - 1817

This portrait of The Washington Family may reveal the plan of the memorial grounds and the layout of the Rose Line for the new country. Most reviewers say that the man in the shadows is a man servant of Washington. However, in a painting filled with symbolism of a family, we cannot discount the idea that "faceless man" with no left hand as the "ghost" of Martha's first husband and the father of the two children in the portrait. It may be Washington's man servant as suggested by some, but it would not fit as a "family portrait" as much as if the man in the shadows was the actual father of the children and whose wealth was inherited by Martha Custis. The man in the shadows needs further clarification, for apparently the record does not support the idea that William Lee, the servant, was identified by Edward Savage.

The close ups shown here illustrate what can be seriously argued to be the primary axes of the mall. The daughter's right hand would be on the White House, and her left hand would be on the Capitol. Martha's right hand holds a fan that touches the Jefferson Memorial. Washington's finger would touch the location of the Lincoln Memorial. The placement of the sword is such that the "waters" flow from the wound of the sword. Martha's left hand is way down river, probably implying Mount Vernon. The right arm of Washington is resting on the left shoulder of his adopted son. The implication being that he gives his right arm too his descendant as a way of passing on strength. This is one of the requirements to be interred in Arlington. This image, together with the sword and the obvious memorial of the cross on the Mall having given the right arm, provide a "source" to the mysteries of the mall. Finally, the hand of the lad holds an architect's compass resting on a globe. The detail of the globe does not allow clear indication of whether it is an earth globe or a celestial globe and but the internet literature indicates a celestial globe. With the son holding the compass on the celestial globe it would mean the Creator's Compass was in the child's hands. In either case, the metaphor is that the means to worldly comprehension is in the compass and the right hand of the youth and it is the legacy of a Man of God whose memorial city is the main subject of the portrait. There can be little doubt that it was Washington's goal that the leadership of the new country would not fall on untrained descendants. The compass is the key to unraveling the whole code of the Mall of Washington. Between the compass hinge and the points is the Rose Line of America at the Mall. Further research is being done on the family portrait. However, this cursory review has shown that Washington was trying to pass on the key to good government to descendants who learned the architect's trade.  By architect he meant spiritual and rational wisdom joined together in the enterprise. The Masonic Compass defined by Pennsylvania Avenue and Maryland Avenue is the measure of man. The stars of Spica and Arcturus forming an angle with Regulus just past the Lincoln Memorial says that the Spica-Regulus line is the Creator's Compass of righteousness and that Arcturus is the rock in the garden of the righteous who accept the will of the Creator.

All of these symbols of the heavens and the ancient scriptures do not reflect a single theology. Rather they demonstrate the religious democracy that was Ancient Egypt. The founders knew the importance of religious guidance and they recognized the need to act with personal guidance. The Rose Line at the Washington Mall shows the measure of a man is the measure of the Creator. It says, "In God we trust." In this way, George Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. The Great Seal of the United States of America is engraved in the streets of the Federal City that carries his name.

EYE OF SILOAM

 

 

If you are in DC the first week of May, you can go to the west side of the Capitol Building at sunset and looked toward the White House to see the sun. The image above shows the sun setting May the first, 20 degrees north of due west in DC. This event is the flip side of the story told by David Ovason about the sun setting over Penn Avenue in August, which you can see in the image below. Here you can see that the sun also sets there in May. Now, re-read his book where he talks about Pennsylvania Ave having been aligned to one sunset on one day.

 

 

If you are in DC the second week of November, you can stand on the west side of the CB to watch the sunset near the Jefferson Memorial to the left of the Wash Mmt. If you were there in February, the sun will be setting in the same place again after having made its southerly most pass in December. David Ovason never mentions that Maryland and Penn Aves are symmetrical to one another.

 

 

Penn Ave is NOT aligned to one sunset, but to two of them, just as Maryland Ave is!!

From page 339 Secret Architecture, "Both L'Enfant and Ellicott would have insisted that only one day (which is to say, one particular sunset) would mark precisely the orientation between the Capitol and the President's House." Parentheses are his.

I remind Serious Students that these dates, early Feb, May, Aug and November correspond to what are known as the 'cross-quarter' days - the days half-way between the solstices and the equinoxes. In the northern hemisphere the cold peaks statistically on about Feb 6th, while the heat of the summer peak about Aug 6th. The mid-points are in May and November.

Students of astrology should note that the solstice and equinoxes happen on the cusp (beginning) of the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The cross-quarter days occur at 15 degrees of the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, 45+ days after the equinoxes and the solstices. If you know your zodiac symbolism you will recognize these four as relating to the four creatures which were depicted in Ezekiel and Revelation as - a bull, a lion, a man and an eagle. Here is a standard Royal Arch image used by Masons that bears the same creatures.

If you were to watch the sunset for a year from the west side of the Capitol, you would see the sun set in front of you in March and September, it would set on Penn Ave in May, it would set 31 degrees north of due west in late June, and on PA again in August - as Ovason points out.

Next you would see the sun set over Maryland Ave in November, it will set 31 degrees south of due west in Dec and over MA again in Feb. Instead of being oriented to one sunset on one day, the city appears to have been oriented to four sunsets on four days, as seen by Penn and Maryland Aves. The city is not aligned to the solstices but to the cross-quarter days; the fixed zodiac signs, not the cardinal ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of you may have seen David Icke's demonstration where he uses the image above from Charles Westrbrook's book to prove the DC streets were aligned to the solstices. Please note, first of all, that those three sets of lines are not all parallel, yet they are all labeled as a solstice alignment. (I have added the numbers on the right.)

If you study the solar arc, you will find that while the sun moves to 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator at the solstices, as seen from the equator, that arc widens as you move north or south on the globe. At the latitude of DC, the total solar arc is 62 degrees, 31 north and south. That is, the sun is located 31 degrees north of due east on June 21 in DC.

Since the sun moves 71% of the arc between the equinox and solstice in half that time (45 days), The cross quarter day sunrises and sets happen at 31 x .71, or 22 degrees from due east-west in DC. That matches the alignment of Penn and Maryland Aves.

 

 

 

Take a look at the DVD named "Riddles in Stone" at about 17:00, where they are discussing the star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. When you look at the earth's orbit around the sun, you will see that on July 4th, the earth is at its far point from the sun, and it is in such a position that the sun aligns with Sirius. That means that the sun is in front of Sirius, so that you can't see it.

In the DVD, it points to the cornerstone ceremony for the Washington Monument, noting that the sun aligned with Sirius then. They fail to point out that the ceremony took place on July 4th, and that the sun aligns with Sirius then every year. Next they present an image of DC looking east -

 

 

They proclaim that on the day of the cornerstone ceremony for the monument, you would have been able to see Sirius rising in the east, and hovering over the Capitol Building as seen above. You now know that you can not see Sirius July 4th, since the sun lies directly in front of it then!! What you would have seen would have been the sun only. Sirius does not emerge from behind the sun until August, the time that David Ovason writes so much about.

Note also that in the DVD it is suggested that the pyramid was 'aligned' to Sirius; that is was built so that the light of Sirius would travel down one of the air shafts and fall on an initiate located in the Queen's Chamber. Have a look at a drawing of the Queen's Chamber and the shafts, and you can see that it is impossible for that to happen, as the southern shaft has a bend in it.
