Washington DC Monumental Core Shown to Be

Metatron's Cube in the DC MapIf you look back at an image of the tree on the cathedral, you can see that the equilateral triangle that forms the top of the tree there, projects past the edge of the building, to where we don't know; but what that means is there is no way for us to tell, at this time, if the cathedral builders sought to incorporate all of Metatron's Cube in the plan, or not. However, with the DC map, we need not wonder about that.
 And you can see (above), one corner of the outer hexagon of Metatron's Cube is marked by the Capitol Building. Below you can see all the elements of the cube spelled out in the map image. The second image below is an undiluted planning map image for comparison, so that you can see which lines are actually represented by streets in the map.
 You will want to notice several things about the map cube. First of all the red outer corner opposite to the Capitol (in the northwest) is Georgetown. Secondly, the triangle in the map, that is equilateral in the Cube image, has 52 degree base angles, like the Great Pyramid and the latitude of the Stonehenge. All the elements in the map have been shortened, circles, hexagons, rectangles and pentagons. Not the ellipse below the White House, which results from shortening a circle.
 And finally, the bottom half of the DC cube is not symmetrical. As you can see by the blue rectangle above, the CB is located several hundred feet north of the ideal location for the cube. Notice how it's current position puts a "dog leg" in Pennsylvania Avenue. Note also how the extension of New York Avenue, southwest of the White House, does not match the diagonal of the blue rectangle either, as it has been positioned mirroring the alignment of Penn. Ave.
 To the southwest of the Capitol, running toward the Jefferson Memorial, Maryland Avenue mirrors Penn. Ave running to the northwest. The extension of Maryland running northeast from the Capitol, does not line up with the other segment, because it mirrors Penn. Ave. running toward the river in the southeast. Had the CB been locate a little bit to the south, all of these alignments would have been different.
 The reason for the relocation of the CB can be seen in the topographic image above; the ideal location for the building was on the side of a steep hill. L'Enfant placed it as close as he could to the crest of the hill, a location he called a pedestal waiting for a monument. After he was fired from his position as chief planner, there was mich discussion about moving it to a higher place to the east, 1) because some feared that the foundation would not be safe there, and because, if it were located there, the hills to the east, would impede the view from that direction.
 As you can see, even after 200 years of landscaping, there is a steep drop off to the west of the building, which is negotiated by a lengthy set of steps.
