DC Map Grid |
|---|
The four main diagonal avenues produced by connecting points of the pentagram/gon generate a grid of eight rectangles 2400 meters wide and about 1025 meters high. This, of course depends on repositioning the CB and Jeff Mml. You can see that the overall dimensions of the grid are determined by the hexagon/gram that it contains. The Jeff Mml has become the point of a triangle, the base of which is N Street.
![]() Since the triangles that comprise the Star of David that we see in the map are not equilateral (with 60 degre angles), it can only be inscribed inside of an ellipse. [Recall that there is an Ellipse south of the WH and in the middle of Scott Circle.] Notice that the diagonals of this hexagram are at a litle bit less than 24 degree angles, and this figure is analogous to the earth with the equator, the poles, and the tropics.
![]() Increasing the height of the image above until the ellipse becomes a circle produces the equilateral triangles and 30 degree diagonals of the Star. Conversley we know that the points of the hexagram indicate the latitude (30 degrees) of the GP, and that if we reduce the hexagram to where the triangles mimic the base of the pyramid, the points of the hexagram then indicate the latitude of the tropics (23 degrees). The ratio of the axes of the rhombus that results from a hexagon inscribed in a circle is 15:26, or 30:52.
