The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital: The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.

...but it's so much more. This book answered so many of my questions. So much information, this writer is brilliant and I cant believe I haven't discovered him until now. There a lot to learn from it, take you time reading and dont rush. It would be preferred that you have some sort of astrology knowledge otherwise you will "pause" quite often to google stuff. I loved it. Author is a genius.

Very interesting book about some "not so hidden" secrets about the architecture of buildings, street layout and monument layout and design of our nations capital. Very interesting, makes me want to go for a visit, which I will probably do in the next few years both because I have been wanting to anyway and because this book has peaked my curiosity. If you are interested in this you may want to also check some materials from Scott Onstott who has a web page and You Tube videos that are very interesting, he is actually a mathematician and unlike some other weird videos his opinions have merit. It was actually through his recommendation that I got this book.

Historical data on the Nations Capitol

A remarkable amount of research has gone into this book. The previous reviewer complained that it was "undocumented" but why does the author need to document a road, a building, or a statue if it exists in plain sight and is common knowledge? This proves that the author's thesis touches a raw nerve to those who are comfortable only with conventional understandings of history that sugar coat the past and pull the wool over our eyes. Clearly, there was a powerful cult behind the formation of the United States. They were not devout Christians, but were committed only to the esoteric ideals of their own secret society. Ideals that apparently originate in ancient Egypt, not Jerusalem. The author, however, coming from a Christian background and perspective dances around this truth. He prefers to view them as Christians who were simply outside the mainstream. Their obssession with "Virgo" proves this, because as everyone knows Virgo represents the Virgin Mary, right? Wrong.The author fails to grasp this nettle and meanders into a neverland that maintains Washington's "Christianity," so we'll have to wait a while longer for the real story.

David Ovason is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ researcher and a writer that brings his findings to life. I have used this book for my reading on historical fiction.Will not be disappointed in Ovasaon’s work on any topic.

Fascinating and engaging analysis, which must be reinforced by visiting the capital and literally seeing what the author is talking about. As a play must be seen (and not only read), in the same manner this book acquires a different feel and has a more powerful effect on the intellect when the text is visually juxtaposed to the real city.

This is one of the most interesting books I"ve ever read, being from Washington DC I didn't know the history of Foggy Bottom and other areas, what they were like in the 1700s and 1800s, so I couldn't put it down. There are illustrations and the writing is very creative and interesting, I just loved it. AA++

This book is a one of a kind for its depth and breadth. There's nothing else out there that I've read that gets into the details of how the city of Washington was built, rebuilt, and then rebuilt again. It gets five stars just for the amount of information David Ovason put together to make this. BUT, the book's narrative is so meandering that it can be hard to follow at times. Even for someone who knows the history of DC, I found myself going back and rereading whole passages before moving on because of the nagging feeling that I was missing something.To his fault, Mr. Ovason takes for granted that the reader knows a lot about both astrology and astronomy. Pop quiz, quick! What's an azimuth?? What's the order of the Zodiac? Which came first, the Age of Virgo or the Age of Leo? Suffice it to say that you'll enjoy this book a lot more if you already know something about astrology and architecture.My recommendation? Before you read "The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital" read "The Power of Stars: How Celestial Observations Have Shaped Civilization" by Bryan Penprase. Penprase's book is a step-by-step guide to the zodiac and how it has played a role in architecture from ancient times until modern times.Once you're done with "The Power of Stars," read "The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital." You'll enjoy it a lot more when you know what Mr. Ovason is talking about. Because of how it's organized, and for getting me lost half way through every chapter, I gave "The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital" three stars. It's worth reading but you need some prep first!

Interesting in parts but no big story
