From Pentagram to Pyramid

Pennsylvannia Avenue
Looking closely at the image of the pyramid cross-section merged with the DC map, we can see that the "fit" is less than perfect between Pennsylvania Avenue (PA) and the Ascending Passage, due to the fact that the avenue has a crook or "dog leg" in it.

Considering the entire length of PA, we see that it runs from the East River, to the Capitol, on to the White House, then to Georgetown in the northwest; and that it is composed of three segments.

Anyone who has read Ovason's Book ("Secret Architecture"), knows that he seeks to focus our attention of the middle segment of the avenue.
