Egyptian Architecture and Masonic Influence in Washington DC
The layout of Washington, D.C. is described as being heavily influenced by ancient Egyptian architecture and Masonic symbolism. Key landmarks like the Washington Monument (an obelisk) and the Scottish Rite Temple (guarded by sphinxes) reflect the beliefs of the city's designers. The Potomac River is compared to the Nile, with Arlington Cemetery positioned on the west bank, mirroring the Egyptian Valley of the Kings.
