Watch out. Here comes the end of the world again. Viewers of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel have learned that the crazy streetmap of Washington, DC, with its roundabouts and angled avenues, is based on celestial navigations, ancient aliens, and Luciferian New World Order. Monsieur L'Enfant would be shocked.
Born in 1754, Pierre Charles L'Enfant is best known for designing those roadways of circles and spokes, a 1791 master plan that transformed a patch of swamp and farmland to what we now know as the capital of the United States. Before that, however, the egalitarian 22-year-old L'Enfant left his native France to fight for American independence with George Washington. After being a brevet major in the U.S. Army, L'Enfant rose to captain in the U.S. Engineers Corps. He was an established engineer and architect when at age 37 L'Enfant presented President Washington with the Plan of the City Intended for the Permanent Seat of the Government of the United States.
Even today, much of Washington DC with its wide boulevards and public squares follows L'Enfant's original concept. But was L'Enfant's design egalitarian or occultic? You decide, but at least give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Today, August 2, is his birthday.
