From The General’s Hand – Part 1

“All along the untrodden paths of the future, I can see the footprints of an unseen hand.”

Boyle Roche


In December of 1793, George Washington produced a detailed map of his beloved Mount Vernon estate. This map is shown in Figure 1. Image courtesy of The George Washington Papers, linked here.

Figure 1 – Drawing of Mount Vernon by George Washington (December 1793)

The map drawn by George Washington contains a series of subtle clues that, if followed, will lead to the construction of a hidden map, a treasure map.

The first indication that this map might be more than it seems is the incorrectly spelled name of one of Mount Vernon’s farms. The farm in the North West corner of the estate is called “Dogue Run Farm”, but George Washington intentionally abbreviated “Run” as just the letter “R’. He did this twice on the map. There is a third occurrence of the farm name where he correctly spells “Run”, so why would he do this? Perceived errors in spelling can be a clue to look at the entire text and to use gematria.

The five named farms that form Mount Vernon have a total gematria value of,

“Dogue R Farm Muddy Hole Farm Union Farm River Farm Mansion House Farm” = 665

This is just one less than the target number of 666, which is an indication to use or look for the number 1 and/or the letter “A”.

George Washington dated this map, “December 1793” in the legend at the top right corner. This date is exactly 73 months before his death in December 1799. Interestingly, 73 is the value of “IESUS”, the spelling of Jesus in the King James Bible. Adding “George Washington” to the names of the farms produces a stunning coincidence, or is it more than mere coincidence?

  • “Dogue R Farm Muddy Hole Farm Union Farm River Farm Mansion House Farm George Washington” = 852
  • 888 is the value of JESUS in Greek, 888 – 852 = 36
  • The sum of all numbers from 1 to 36 is 666.
  • George Washington is telling us that he knows about the code in the King James Bible and much more.
  • There are a total of 73 letters in the names of the five farms combined with “George Washington”.
  • Again, IESUS = 73.
  • He dated the map precisely 73 months before his death.
  • Did George Washington already know when he would die? Was there a plan already in motion that would result in Washington’s demise on December 14, 1799?
  • I will discuss this in much more detail in ‘Seven Days to Die’, but for now just note the apparent uncanny “coincidence”.

When constructing a new building or monument, ancient builders would typically start by laying out a North-South line based on stellar observations. Map makers would also typically orient the maps so that North is up on the page.

Washington’s map has a compass rose to indicate the orientation of the map, but North is not oriented up on the page. Just as the ancient stone masons would begin a construction process by laying out the North-South line, the North-South line is extended across the map using the compass rose as a guide, see Figure 2. This line is marked as Line #1.

GW_Map_1793_1

Figure 2 – Extending the North-South line of the 1793 map.

When properly positioned, line #1 provides a wealth of confirmations and clues for the next steps in the construction. There are multiple connections to the number 666 and Revelation 13:18 where the number is mentioned in the Bible.

  • The line pases between the letters “OF” or “FO” three times in the Reference text at the top of the map.
  • “OF FO FO” = 63, which can be interpreted as 6, three times, or 666.
  • Since “F” = 6, “FFF” = 666
  • “O” = 15, adding the digits together gives, 1 + 5 = 6, and “OOO” = 666
  • The lower part of the line intersects the letter “R” = 18 in “Farm”, and the letter “M” = 13 in “Mount”
  • “M R” can be interpreted as 13:18, and a reference to Revelation 13:18.
  • The line also intersects the letters “O” and “F”, as confirmation of the three pairs in the upper portion of the map.

Looking at the complete words intersected by the line reveals yet another important piece to the puzzle.

  • OF REMAINS FOR FORM FARM MANSION FARM MOUNT = 435
  • The reference to 13:18 above holds a more subtle clue. Multiplying 13 X 18 = 234
  • 234 is also confirmed by the letter count of the words containing the three “OF” pairs at the top of the map
  • “OF FOR FORM” = 2, 3, and 4 letters per word, or, 234.
  • 234 + 432 = 666
  • 435 is 3 more than 432, which is a clue to look for 3, or something occurring in threes.

Figure 3 shows the East-West line extended along the compass rose. It intersects the letter “M” at the beginning of line 5 in the references, possibly indicating that the East-West line should be copied to the M in Mount intersected by the the first line, forming Line #2.

GW_Map_1793_2

Figure 3 – The East-West Line Copied to the “Mount”

  • Line #2 just barely touches the 3 and 6 Field numbers on the Union Farm. 3 X 6 = 18
  • Combined with the M = 13 point at the intersection with Line #1, this forms 13:18 to confirm the creation of this line.

The East-West line intersects the letter “B”, which has a values of 2 on the left side of the References section. Below the letter “B”, the letters “C-D-E” are found. Numerically, these letters represent the number sequence 3-4-5. There is an important Masonic symbol that relates to the 3-4-5 triangle. Combined with the number 2 from “B”, it could be taken as a hint to find two 3-4-5 triangles, but why?

After laying out the North-South line a Master Mason would employ an ancient secret, passed down from Master to Apprentice, to layout the foundation of the building using perfect 90 degree corners. This secret made use of the Pythagorean theorem or the 47th problem of Euclid. It is an important concept in Freemasonry and a very good explanation of the Masonic significance can be found on Pietre-Stones, Review of Freemasonry website.

The 47th Problem of Euclid – The Veil Lifted

To lay out a structure with perfect 90 degree angles, a Master Mason only needed a rope of sufficient length and a few stakes. The rope would be divided into 12 equal segments using a marker or by tying knots into the rope. A stake would then be placed at the desired corner and using the North-South line as a guide for one side, the rope would be stretched into a tight triangle with 3 segments on one side and 4 on the other. The hypotenuse of the triangle would then have 5 segments when the angle reached 90 degrees. It was a simple concept, but one that the Masons held close to their order because it gave them the power to build incredible structures with amazing accuracy.

George Washington also included the 3-4-5 triangle on his map to confirm the placement of the East-West line at the intersection of the letter “M” in Mount. Figure 3A shows these two triangles and the confirmations built into them.

Figure 3A – The 3-4-5 Triangle Confirms the East-West Line

The two 3-4-5 triangles are confirmed by three letters intersected by each of the triangles.

  • The blue triangle letters are MWA = 37
  • The grey triangle letters are MRE = 36
  • 37 X 36 = 1332 = 666 + 666

Figure 3B shows a detail view of the blue triangle intersection with the References section in the upper left corner of the map.

Figure 3B – Detail of Reference section intersection of triangle

Combined with the letter “M” in “middle”, which also happens to be the middle line of the reference section, the words intersected by and to the left of the triangle and the East-West line contain another important clue.

  • M + Possesses the + Is cleared land + of the smaller ones + The use of this farm = 669
  • The total gematria value of the text in the corner is 666 + 3

This is a potential clue to look for 666, possibly three times, and related to a 3-4-5 triangle. The reason for this clue will become apparent when the construction is completed. For now, just be aware that this clue is here and when the intended result is found, this clue will serve as confirmation. Figure 3C shows how the 3-4-5 triangle clue is formed.

Figure 3C – The 3-4-5 Triangle and 666 Clue

The next line to be constructed requires that the searcher notice the spelling of the three occurrences of the name “Dogue Run Farm”. Figure 4 highlights the three occurrences on the map.

GW_Map_1793_14

Figure 4 – Correct and Incorrect “Dogue Run Farm” Spelling

  • Two of the occurrences misspell “Run” as simply the letter “R”, dropping the “un” letters.
  • The third instance spells “Run” correctly, but replaces “Farm” with “Dᵒ”.
  • Because “D” = 4, “D ᵒ” can be interpreted as “4 ᵒ” or an angle of 4 degrees.
  • The clue here is to draw a line at 4 degrees.

Line #3 is drawn at 4 degrees rotated clockwise from the North-South line, passing through the center of the compass rose, as shown in Figure 5.

GW_Map_1793_3

Figure 5 – Line 3 Formed by Three A’s

Once again, the new line is confirmed by the letters it intersects.

  • Line #3 intersects three A’s, and Line #1 indicated that we needed to find something repeated three times, in this case, the letter “A”.
  • The four letters intersected in the references at the top of the page are HNAM = 36 = 666
  • All six intersected letters are HNAMAA = 38 = 888

Line #4 is created by drawing a line through the center of the two R’s in the two misspelled “Dogue R Farm” instances, as shown in Figure 6.

GW_Map_1793_4

Figure 6 – Line 4 Formed by Connecting the R’s of Misspelled “Run”

  • Line #4 passes through the number “74” at the top right corner of the map.
  • “JESUS” = 74 as confirmation of the importance of this line.
  • The line also just touches the top corner of the letter “N” in the list of fields for “Dogue R Farm”.
  • “R” = 18 and multiplying it with “74”, gives the confirmation 18 X 74 = 1332 = 2 X 666.
  • 2 X 666 is confirmed by the intersection with the number “2” at the left side of the map.

Using the top point of the “N” to connect fields 7 and 4 in each farm, lines 5 through 9 are created. These are the purple lines in Figure 7. Here it is important to notice the three triple intersections, where three lines intersect at a single point, around the Mansion House. These three “triple points” can be interpreted as the three lights of Masonry that surround the altar of the lodges. At this point the reader might find a little research on the Three Lesser Lights of Freemasonry interesting.

GW_Map_1793_5

Figure 7 – Lines 5 through 9 Formed Using Fields 7 and 4 of Each Farm

I’ll come back to these points in a moment, but first there is another 13:18 hidden in the name for “Dogue R Farm”. In Figure 8, notice that the “R” in the farm name is preceded by 8 dots and followed by 5 more. 8 + 5 = 13 and the letter “R” is the 18th letter of the alphabet, giving the familiar pair, 13:18.

GW_Map_1793_6

Figure 8 – Dogue R. Farm Contains Hidden 13:18

The 13 dots fall on a straight line, so the logical thing would be to draw a line through the dots, as shown in Figure 9, forming Line # 10.

GW_Map_1793_7

Figure 9 – Line 10 Formed Using Dots in Dogue R Farm

Figure 10 shows a closeup view of Line 10 passing through the Reference text at the top of the page. The numbers 37 and 18 are repeated several different several times in the intersected letters.

GW_Map_1793_10

Figure 10 – Line 10 Intersects Reference Text to Reveal an Important Clue

  • 37 is found three different ways in the intersected text of Figure 10.
  • “R” = 18 is the first letter that the line crosses in the word “for”.
  • There are a total of 18 words in the last two lines of text left of line #10.
  • “R” in “River” is the 37th character on the third line from the bottom.
  • A very important message is being given by Line #10 and the reference text.
  • 18 X 37 = 666
  • We are being directed to look for the number 666 on this map, in some fashion.
  • There is also another reference to the number pair 13:18.
  • Line #10 crosses the letter “R” = 18 on line 8 in the word “for”, which is the 8th word of the line
  • It also crosses the letter “M” = 13 on line 5 in the word “most”, which is the 10th word of the line
  • The line numbers add up to 13, 8 + 5 = 13.
  • The word count adds up to 18, 8 + 10 = 18.
  • The result is a reference to 13:18 twice, indicating that a line should be drawn using 13:18, or “MR” twice.

Lines 6 and 10 intersect between the “R” and “M” of “Dogue R Farm”. Drawing an East-West line through this point also passes between the “R’ and “M’ of “River Farm”, forming line #11, as shown in Figure 11. The line is confirmed by the intersections with “R” and “M”, or 13:18 twice.

GW_Map_1793_8

Figure 11 – Line #11, The 13:18 Line

Figure 12 shows a closeup of the three lines on the “Dogue R Farm”. Note that there are 6 lines emanating from the central point. Where three lines intersect at a common point, the construction can be interpreted as the number “6”.

GW_Map_1793_9

Figure 12 – Three Intersecting Lines Produce The Number 6

A geometric representation of the number 666 can be constructed using three sets of three intersecting lines. Figure 13 shows the area around the Mansion House where these points can be found.

GW_Map_1793_11

Figure 13 – Mansion House Area

Figure 13 shows the detail area of the Mansion House where three sets of three lines intersect to form the number 666. The clue at the beginning confirms the final construction of a 3-4-5 triangle using the number 666 three times.

GW_Map_1793_12

Figure 13 – Mansion House Detail and 666

The three points that form the number 666 also contain a tremendously important construction called the 3-4-5 triangle, as shown in Figure 14. Note that the smaller side of the triangle extends approximately 666 feet West of the North-South line.

GW_Map_1793_13

Figure 14 – The 3-4-5 Triangle Formed by 666

The 3-4-5 triangle contains a secret about Jesus. Converting 3-4-5 to a number gives 345. Since Jesus is the first and the last, reverse and add to get the number of Jesus in the Greek language, and the first step in decoding the King James Bible. Note also that 3-4-5 is the number of letters in each word of “The Holy Bible”.

345 + 543 = 888 = JESUS

The Western most point of the 3-4-5 triangle falls exactly on top of the location of George Washington’s tomb. Prior to his death George Washington laid out the precise location where the new family tomb was to be constructed. The entrance to George Washington’s tomb is 888 feet from the chimney of the New Room in the Mansion House. Construction of the “New Room”, as Washington called it, began around 1776 and was completed in 1787. The New Room was an addition to the North end of the house and was by far the most elegant room in the Mansion, see “The New Room”.

In the Jewish Tabernacle and the Temple of Solomon, the room that held the Ark of the Covenant, called the Holy of Holies, was located at the West end of the Temple. If the Ark of the Covenant is hidden inside George Washington’s tomb, the room in which it resides would be called “The Holy of Holies”.

The 3-4-5 Triangle – Why it Matters

The importance of the 3-4-5 triangle to Freemasonry is clearly stated in the first Masonic book printed in America by Benjamin Franklin in 1734. It was a reprint of a book published in London in 1721 by by James Anderson. The Constitutions of the Free-Masons contains the following statement,

…the Greater PYTHAGORAS, prov’d the Author of the 47th Proposition of Euclid’s first book, which, if duly observ’d, is the Foundation of all Masonry, sacred, civil, and Military.

The 47th problem of Euclid, or the Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and c.

Pythagorean-Theorem

Figure 15 – The Pythagorean Theorem

The 3-4-5 triangle is the smallest triangle that satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem with sides whose lengths are whole numbers. So, why would Benjamin Franklin print a book that claims this simple little triangle is the “Foundation of all Masonry”? The answer will be surprising, even to Masons.

The 3-4-5 triangle is a coded representation of The Ark of the Covenant. For a complete explanation, you are referred to “Freemasonry and The Ark of God”. Also described on this page is the derivation of the Masonic symbol that represents the Ark of The Covenant, shown in Figure 16, the point in a circle with two parallel lines.

Point_Circle

Figure 16 – The Masonic symbol of the Ark of God

The Masonic symbol for the Ark of God is also hidden on George Washington’s map. To create the symbol, first draw a circle with a radius equal to the short side of the 3-4-5 triangle. Next copy the North-South line to the opposite side of the circle. The North-South lines are the two staves of the Ark and the circle is the Mercy Seat. Figure 17 shows the completed symbol of the Ark.

GW_Map_1793_15

Figure 17 – The Masonic symbol of the Ark on the 1793 map by George Washington

Once the line parallel to the North-South line, number 12, is drawn in the correct location determined by the circle of the Ark symbol, a trove of confirmations are found in the letters intersected by the line.

  • The first letter intersected by the line is “G” in “greater” on the first line of the References section.
  • “G” is the 74th letter of the line, and 74 = “JESUS”
  • The first 8 letters of “References” also have a total value of 74, “REFERENC” = 74
  • This appears to be pointing at the letter “C”, so including all the letters from “C” in “References” to the “G” in “greater”, gives the value of JESUS in Grrek.
  • “ces A Within these lines one or two medium farms might be formed independent of the others The g” = 888
  • From “C” to “G” gives the value 888. “C” = 3, and “G” = 7.
  • Combined the letter pair “CG” can be interpreted as “37”.
  • The next letter after the “G” is “R” = 18.
  • 37 X 18 = 666

Both of the most important numbers in this hunt, 666 and 888, are found using the first letter intersected by the line that completed the symbol of the Ark. This is not a coincidence, or a wishful manipulation by an over-zealous observer. It simply falls out of the mix when the construction is completed.

Looking at the text to the right of the line in the References section provides another confirmation.

  • The text to the right of the line, including the intersected letters has the value,
  • “greater of the + t still remains + vation for a + t might form part” = 604
  • The letter “g” was included in the confirmation on the left of the first line, so the three remaining intersected letters are,
  • “T V T” = 62
  • Adding, 604 + 62 = 666

As impressive as this construction is, there is more. A map published in 1801, 2 years after Washington’s death, contains the same graphical construction, produced a different way. The identity of the person who drew the second map is unknown, but what is clear is that whoever drew it, knew the secret.
