That's really the layout of the National Mall in DC? I guess it is not well very known that the city of Washington's designers choose to engineer a pentagram of a plat map as a starting point.

GW Not a Follower of Illuminati.
I am quite sure that Washington was not a follower of the Illuminati. When questioned about whether or not Illuminism had spread to Masonry in America, Washington answered that he "did not believe that the lodges of Freemasons in this country had as societies, endeavored to propagate the diabolical tenet of the former [Illuminati] or pernicious principles of the latter Jacobinism]" (Sparks, 1848, 11: 577).

Cagliostro, Alessandro Conte di
Was "the professor" Giuseppe Balsamo? He supposedly knew Benjamin Franklin during a stay in Paris. He states that he was the Grand Copt (Chief of the Lodge) of the order of Egyptian Masonry. He asserts that Egyptian Masonry was first propagated by Enoch and Elias. Guiseppe planned to restore the glory of masonry, and allow its benefits to participated by both sexes.

Templar Symbol
George Washington described the flag's circle of stars as a new constellation. What context was that term used? The heavens above.

John Claypoole
It is of interesting note that Betsy Ross's third husband, John Claypoole was a member of Lodge No. 2 at Philadelphia.

More People Involved
Interesting. I never have seen the star until now. James Hoban and L'Enfant attended St. Patrick's church. I would guess that they both were not masons. Hoban worked on the White House and Capitol Buildings with Dr. William Thornton. Benjamin Henry Latrobe was also a Catholic sympathizer, so I cannot imagine he was a mason also. You might research Baron de Graffe who worked directly with L'Enfant.

L'Enfant Map
Ellicott should be the one credited with the final revisions. I am sure that he, Washington and his brother masons were arcane patterns into the street design. I am sure the everyone who attended the Masonic stone laying on Oct 13, 1792 knew.
