Cydonia

In a site entitled WASHINGTON: DISTRICT OF CYDONIA, Daniel Perez takes a page from Richard Hoagland, and seeks to correlate the elements which surrround the supposed "face on Mars" with geographic features in Washington DC and Arlington, Virginia. In the words of the author, the site "lays out a symbolic and geometric link between the area of Washington D.C., and the area on Mars known as Cydonia".

After correctly stating that Maryland Avenue is directed just north of the Jefferson Memorial, he repeats the incorrect assertion that there "is a direct East to West line connecting the Capitol Building to the Washington Monument". As we know, the momument is located 123 feet south of that east-west axis. Next he points incorrectly to "a North to South line connecting the Washington Monument to the Supreme Council 33rd Degree Temple which 13 blocks north of the White House". We know that the line runs behind (east of) the HOT, and does not align with that(as he has illustrated it below).

 

Finally he suggests that "These two sets of lines make a right angle in the shape of a Square, from the Square and Compass symbol of Freemasonry". Clearly the lines do not form a right angle, since, if you look at the line running from the Capitol through the monument to the Lincoln Memorial, you will see that it is "running downhill". The 123 foot offset at the monument (located 1.4 miles from the Capitol) is extended to about 180 feet at the LM (.75 miles beyond the Wash. Mml.).

Like others before him, he connects the supposed alignment of the Washington Monument and House of the Temple with governmental power, "The alignment of the North to South line from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Council 33rd Degree Temple implies that the real center of power in Washington is located in the temple". I am still unclear about this implication.

Monuments on Mars

Perez tells us that, "After seeing the layout of the geometry at Cydonia in (Richard Hoagland's book) "The Monuments of Mars" and how three corners of the D&M pyramid pointed to the City, the Face and a circular hill-like structure called the Tholus it occured to me that the same geometry existed in the area of Washington D.C. and Arlington". You will note that the D&M pyramid is supposedly five sided.

According to Perez, it just occured to him that "the Pentagon is the Rosetta Stone of this entire area". You will need to look at pictures to see just what a "hill-like structure" on Mars looks like, but apparently it was significant enough to warrant being named by Hoagland. The supposed City is not much to look at either.

 

Three Corners - Three Lines

Next we are told that, using an old Rand McNally Atlas, he draws "lines from three corners of the Pentagon (in the DC map) to areas that would have their counterparts at Cydonia", which turn out to be "the area of Rosslyn in Arlington, Virginia, the White House, and Anacostia Park in the Anacostia Area of the District of Columbia". Note the repeated use of the vague term "area" here.

 

He offers that the fact that "monuments from both locations match in terms of geometric layout and location" when images of DC and Cydonia are superimposed on one another as "proof of the connection between Cydonia and the Washington D.C./ Arlington, Virginia area". I am not sure that I would characterize the "city complex" and "hill-like structure" in the Cydonia image as monuments.

"Since the White House is the headquarters of the head of the United States Government (the Commander in Chief), it was only natural that the human looking head or Face at Cydonia would correlate." Take a look at the image of the "face" (below right) that he uses to illustrate the connection to the White House?

 

So he anchors his conceptualization with the Pentagon and the White House. Presumably these are the points that he initially synchronizes in his overlaid imagery.

"The area of Rosslyn, Virginia is a tightly compacted city complex consisting of many buildings in a small area. When the image of Cydonia is compared to Arlington, the City Complex and the D&M Pyramid have the same proportional distance between them as Rosslyn and the Pentagon."

"Near Anacostia Park, there is a six-way intersection made up of three streets. If you draw a circle with it's circumfrence crossing the diverging ends of each street that lead away from this intersection the result is a circular area that correlates with the Tholus at Cydonia." Here he is suggesting that you get to choose the size of the circle that you draw.

 

"Located across the Anacostia river from this Tholus Circle is an intersection known as Barney Circle, a circular intersection on Pennsylvania Avenue at the Sousa Bridge. This circle geographically correlates with the satellite hill near the Tholus at Cydonia." Unfortunately the angles between these two pairs doesn't match very well.

 

The Other Two Corners

Next he says he drew lines from the other two corners of the Pentagon, and "ended them at an area that made the most sense symbolically and geometrically". Meaning he ended them where ever he wanted to.

"The corner of the Pentagon facing toward the South West pointed directly at an area called Bailey's Crossroads in Fairfax County, Virginia. I did some checking on the internet and according to the official webpage of Fairfax County, Bailey's Crossroads is located in the "MASON"district, an obvious reference to Freemasonry." Either that or it is a reference to the Mason family who once owned what is now called Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River.

 

"The Pentagon corner facing South/Southeast pointed to another Masonic reference at the George Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia".

 

A Larger Five Sided Pentagon

"After finding all of these landmarks, I connected them with lines to make an even larger five sided pentagon that covered the Washington D.C/Arlington, Virginia area."

"The large pentagon geometry was offset slightly by being wider in the east, but symbolically it made sense. Why? This geometry was obviously designed to be looked upon by the "Great Architech of the Universe" who resides in the Eastern sky according to the Freemasons." It's off set to the east, but it makes sense symbolically, because it is obviously meant to be looked at by the GATO? Is he kidding here?

"After laying out this geometry on a picture of the Washington D.C/Arlington, Virginia area, I superimposed the geometry over Cydonia and it matched. The D&M Pyramid, the Face, the City and the Tholus geometrically matched the locations of the Pentagon, the White House, Arlington in Virginia and the area known as Anacostia in D.C."

Note that his image of the DC map runs past his Cydonia image, and that he had already shown us the match of the other three points in the first image above. No wonder he said that he ended those lines at an area that made the most sense symbolically and geometrically; he had nothing to reference them to.

 

A Exact Duplicate of

"The result of this became very obvious; The Washington D.C./Arlington, Virginia area is an exact geometric duplicate of Cydonia!" Note that he says, an exact copy, even though he admits that "the larger pentagon geometry was offset by being wider in the east".

 

Chronological Perspective

"Now, let's look at this in chronological perspective. The really strange part about this is discovered when you learn that Washington D.C. was built in the late 1790's, while the Pentagon was built in the 1940's, a time difference of 150 years, as if to imply this geometry is part of a long term plan.

According to many estimates, the date of the artifacts at Cydonia range from 300,000 to 3 Million years old or older. If that's the case, then how could the Freemasons, who founded the United States of America in 1776, have knowledge of Cydonia geometry at least two hundred years before the Viking Oribiter photographed Mars in 1976? There's only one obvious and correct answer. The Freemasons have possession of knowlege passed down through history from an ancient inter-planetary civilization that existed thousands of years before "official civilized history" supposedly began 6,000 years ago in the Middle East.

All that from just comparing two images?
