Benjamin Banneker - Astronomer, mathematician, surveyor, almanac author and farmer was responsible for astrologically surveying the 10 mile square that Washington DC was originally built on. Andrew Ellicot also helped and surveyed using land by day. The shape and number of square represents the number 4, which Kemetically means Foundation. 16th St. was also surveyed as the meridian point. 1 plus 6 equals 7, 7 being the kemetic number of heaven. 16th St. is the street with the most enlightenment centers in DC and ends at the White House. George Washington first US President under The Constitution, also a freemason used the 10 mile Square to symbolically mean the foundation of a new nation and knew that Benjamin had the skills to use the sky to survey the land. He is said to be a descendant of the Dogon Tribe now residing in Mali which were major astrologers. Benjamin Banneker has so much more accomplishments under his belt but sadly is now buried in an unmarked grave and though there are constant petitions to honor him being that he played a key role in literally building this “great nation”, Benjamin Banneker is being forgotten and most of the time his story is never told in mainly in DC.
