Map Message In Portrait

Image: Painting by Edward Savage, "The Washington Family"

(Conspiracy Nation, 02/22/06) -- A painting by Edward Savage, "The Washington Family," contains a secret message, writes David Ovason in his book, The Secret Architecture Of Our Nation's Capital (ISBN: 0-06-095368-3)

The map spread out on the table centers the grouping. Relations between the tangible map and George Washington and Eleanor Parke Custis (young woman, standing) are indicative. The young lad, George Washington Parke Custis, standing by the globe, also conveys a hidden meaning.

The map itself is the plan for the new Federal City, now called Washington, DC. Masonic symbolism abounds throughout both the plans and the architecture of "Rome on the Potomac."

In 1663, land now occupied by the Federal City had been owned by Francis Pope. He called Jenkins Heights, site of the Capitol building, "Rome." A nearby waterway was called the Tiber.

In the portrait above, a close-up plainly shows three of the figures indicating locations on the map. George Washington points to where an Egyptian obelisk is to be built. Eleanor ("Nelly") touches the precise western point, where the sun sets on or about August 10th. Martha Custis Washington with a fan seems to point to Jenkins Heights.

A close up of the portrait also suggests the triangle motif previously covered in "Masonic 'Meltdown' Signal" (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/MasonicMeltdown.html). On the map, the Federal City earthly triangle mirrors a stellar triangle formed by the stars Arcturus, Regulus, and Spica.

The Capitol building, of course, is named for the Roman Temple of Jupiter, the Capitolium, also built upon a hill. Another Roman indication comes from the reverse of the U.S. Seal, displayed on the one-dollar "Federal" Reserve Notes. There is found Virgil's prayer to Jupiter from the Aeneid: "Audacibus annue coeptis" ("Annuit Coeptis" -- "Favor our daring undertaking." The Virgilian spelling has been modified so as to consist of 13 letters, symbolizing the original 13 states.)

But the overall emphasis is Egyptian, not Roman. Nelly's sign of the closed fingers hinting at the August 10th sunset aligns roughly with a view down Pennsylvania Avenue. The August 10th sunset reveals the constellation Virgo which, on that date, coincides with the earthly Federal Triangle. Nelly, a young maid, represents the celestial virgin Isis.

Another Egyptian "open secret" is again from the reverse of the U.S. Seal. Atop the triangular (pyramidal) image is seen the "Eye of Horus" from Egyptian papyri.

Also emphasizing ancient Egypt is the use of the five-pointed sba star on the U.S. flag. This star suggests Sirius, the Dog Star, which according to Ovason's research predominates in U.S. horoscopes.

Rounding out the theme of stellar influences "favoring the undertaking" is the young fellow standing behind the globe (see image, above). George Washington Parke Custis holds a pair of compasses. His hand rests upon a celestial globe, a globe of the heavens.
