Located precisely 13 miles from the Washington Monument along an angle of 13 degrees from South, and at the precise spot marked with the Masonic symbol for The Ark of The Covenant on George Washington’s map, the tomb of George Washington appears to be nothing more than an above average tomb. That is, until one takes a closer look at the tomb both inside and out. To the untrained eye, it appears completely normal, but armed with the knowledge required to arrive at this point; the tomb will reveal its secrets. The tomb of George Washington is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 – The Tomb of George Washington

The Washington Monument, which is built at the center of a Mandorla/Vesica Piscis, led to the tomb of George Washington. The archway above the door to the tomb is in the shape of a Vesica Piscis, as shown in Figure 2. Note that the height of the Vesica Piscis is the same as the height of the entrance to the tomb. Because the Mandorla, a subset of the Vesica Piscis, symbolizes Mary and Jesus and the trail we are following is Jesus, the Vesica Piscis tells us to enter the tomb through Jesus. The complete Vesica Piscis, drawn using the arch, fully encloses the small door to the inner tomb on the back wall, but only catches a portion of George Washington’s sarcophagus at the lower right corner of the door.

The following is just my personal interpretation and may or may not be what was intended. Because the Mandorla surrounds the door on the back wall, it seems to make the door the real focus of the tomb and not George Washington. The Mandorla represents the majesty of Jesus Christ and the decoded message on the Declaration of Independence says to seek “The Majesty of Jesus Christ”. The door is more important here than Washington.

Another obvious place to look for confirmation that this is the correct location is in the inscription above the main door of the tomb. There are many messages in this inscription that both confirm the location and offer guidance on how to open the door. Figure 3 shows a close up view of the inscription over the entrance to Washington tomb.

The first confirmation is the general shape of the inscription. The three lines of text on the bottom of the inscription form a topless pyramid, just as the one found on the Seal of the United States. Where the All-Seeing Eye should be above the pyramid, the words, “Within this Enclosure”, are found. The message is that the Eye of Providence is inside this tomb. The topless pyramid drawn around the three bottom lines is shown below.

Confirmation of the polar coordinates used to arrive at the tomb from the Washington Monument is hidden in the base angles of the topless pyramid drawn so that the lines just touch the outside edges of the letters. The angles on both sides of the pyramid are 13 degrees, giving 13:13. There are 36 letters inside the pyramid, and 36 is an encoded form of the number 666. Therefore, both numbers that were required to arrive at this location from downtown Washington, DC are encoded here, 666 and 13:13.

Additionally, the letter “R” in “ENCLOSURE” is the 18th letter of the inscription and “R” = 18. The value of “R” confirms its position, but for what purpose? There are an additional 37 letters after the “R” to the end of the inscription. Combine to get “1837”, which is the year that George Washington’s tomb was finally completed with the placement of the sarcophagus that contains his remains and America’s first President was finally laid to rest in his completed tomb. “1837” is also an encoded form of 666.

“1837” can be divided into “18” and “37”.

18 X 37 = 666

A possible confirmation that the Grail is located in this tomb can be found on the last line of the inscription. There is little argument that the letter ‘G’ is important to the Masons. It is usually found in the center of the Square and Compass symbol. There are a total of four G’s on the last line of the inscription. Since ‘G’ is the seventh letter of the alphabet, the four G’s can be interpreted as the number 47. Recall that the standard gematria value of ‘GRAIL’ is also 47. The inscription specifically identifies the tomb as the resting place of The Holy Grail.

“G G G G” = “7 7 7 7” = Four 7’s = 47 = “GRAIL”

Now that we are reasonably certainty this is the correct location, a brief detour into the history of this tomb will add another dimension to the mystery. George Washington died at the age of 67 on December 14, 1799. He was given a full Masonic burial parade to honor his service to America. Four days after his death, his body was placed inside the old family tomb at Mount Vernon, which was in need of repair. Prior to his death, he laid out the exact location and dimensions of the new tomb that he wanted built on the Mount Vernon estate for him, his wife Martha, and some of his relatives.

There was some dispute about whether the final resting place of America’s first president should be in the basement tomb of the Capitol building, beneath the Rotunda floor, but his wishes to be buried at Mount Vernon were eventually followed. The precise location that George Washington himself had laid out would just happen to be exactly 13 miles from the future location of the Washington Monument along a 13 degree southwest line. How could he have known where this monument would be built? His body was moved from the old tomb to the new one in 1831 and the new tomb was not fully completed until 1837, almost 38 years after he died. According to an article in the New York Times on March 12, 1881, “The body was placed in this sarcophagus on October 7, 1837, when the door of the inner vault was closed and the key thrown in the Potomac.” Why throw away the key to the inner vault door when Washington’s body is in the sarcophagus in the main alcove of the tomb? This is just one more of those pesky little details that does not seem to make sense.

George Washington was highly revered as the first President of America. He had personally laid out the specific location for his tomb. He was a highly regarded Masonic leader and he was buried with a Masonic ritual. The masons were expert builders and had built nearly all of the major buildings in Washington, DC. Yet, it took 38 years to complete his simple brick and mortar tomb. Why did it take so long? In comparison, it took only 36 years to build the 555-foot tall Washington Monument.

Why did it take 38 years to complete the final resting place of the first President of The United States of America? Were they just lazy? Did they not think it was important to honor his memory? Obviously, George Washington was highly respected because the capitol city is named after him, his image is painted on the ceiling of the Rotunda in the Capitol building, an enormous monument is built in his honor, yet we are supposed to believe that they could not complete a simple tomb for his body in less than 38 years? Even the most inexperienced builder could have completed the tomb in a matter of months, but the Masons were the ones who built it and there is no logical explanation for why it took this long. Of course, there are many reasons that have been floated trying to explain what happened, but when one really thinks about it, none of the explanations make a lot of sense unless they were building something else, like an underground treasure vault.

Numerically, the value of “GOLD” is 38, and it took 38 years to complete his tomb. The year that the tomb was completed, 1837, can be used to get the number 666 because 18 X 37 = 666. Recall that this same product is on the first line of the Declaration of Independence, connected to the date of the 1611 King James Bible. Is this merely an interesting coincidence? Maybe, but perhaps there is an intentional message built into the timeline. The number 666 has marked the trail, and now this same number is encoded into the date for completing George Washington’s tomb, much like the date, July 4, 1776, was used to encode a message at the beginning of this great country.

If there is a hidden treasure vault associated with Washington’s tomb, the entrance is likely well disguised and/or locked in some manner that is not readily obvious. The builders would have spared no effort to ensure that someone could not just stumble upon the treasure. Located on the back wall of the tomb is an innocent looking black steel door. The remains of George Washington’s ancestors are behind this door, but what else might be there?

Perhaps finding the secret depends on how one opens the door!

And just maybe, “The Lock Reveals The Key”
