UNVEILING THE LOST SYMBOL

Washington DC,

a city of secrets and intrigue.

The perfect setting for

"The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.

The book takes us through a world

rarely seen in town ...

and investigates a mysterious

secret society.

I read that is a specific fantasy,

shown in great detail ...

and it's not only fantasy, but moved

conspiracy with the community ...

Dan Brown clearly and invests

this kind of people.

But Brown tells us the truth?

Or is just another Washington

of his fictional characters?

Explore the pages

"The Lost Symbol" ...

to separate fact from fiction.

INITIALIZING GPS

AMERICAN CAPITAL

cornerstone

In the book, the Capitol is

in the center of an unfolding mystery.

This is where the book's protagonist,

Professor Robert Langdon ...

begins its journey

and where we begin our analysis.

In the book, Langdon tells his students

the design of the Capitol ...

rooted in the oldest and largest

U.S. secret society ...

Masons.

Fact.

A Mason was important

a role in the planning.

The nation's first president,

George Washington.

Washington deserves

more credit than it receives ...

about the sighting

and disposition of Washington.

He approved the plans,

decided which would be used.

Decided that the building

should be in stone instead of brick.

Another factor mentioned in the book

is that the location of the Capitol ...

was chosen by a Frenchman,

the architect Pierre L'Enfant.

This is also true.

I assume that the original plan was to one day

England overcome ...

in all aspects,

and that everything would start there.

But Washington was

mainly tobacco plantations,

British diplomats and received

wages for serving tropical here ...

was considered a difficult position

first.

And when L'Enfant was trying to figure

the appearance of the city ...

he called the hill

"Pedestal waiting for a monument."

And while L'Enfant did not

designed the Capitol ...

he chose his place ...

and Washington where it was agreed

should be the U.S. Capitol.

In the book, Professor Langdon

surprises his students ...

saying that George Washington planted

the cornerstone of the Capitol ...

in a Masonic ceremony

traditional.

Again,

the book is correct.

On the morning of

September 18, 1793 ...

President Washington

led a procession to the site.

There, wearing an apron

strange--looking ...

he led the day's events.

Traditional Masonic Items

were then presented ...

as corn

and jars of olive oil and wine.

And with that, the cornerstone

Capitol was stuck.

What is not in the book

is the fact that today ...

the cornerstone

is missing.

The board is all that remains.

The Masonic origins of the building

were hidden?

In Itima decade, several people

working on Capitol Hill ...

led metal detectors

the basement ...

to try to find

the metal plate ...

indicating where

was the original cornerstone.

But never found the plate,

and the best guess is that ...

during construction in 1960 ...

when the entire eastern front

Capitol was moved ...

may have destroyed the foundation stone

original, not knowing what was there.

So there may not be

cover--up ...

but what about the other secrets

that Brown mentions in the book?

There is an architect of the Capitol

which has unrestricted access ...

the secret levels

and hidden rooms?

Yes.

There are approximately 500 rooms

on Capitol Hill ...

and very few people

know the most.

The only person who has access to all

the rooms is the architect of the Capitol.

Because he is charged

to preserve and protect the building.

In the book,

Architect of the Capitol ...

through a series

hidden underground passages.

Is it possible?

As the image of the Capitol is so fixed

in the minds of all ...

because of their appearance ...

could not do anything to change

the exterior of the Capitol.

And the only thing to do

was moving underground.

There are four floors underground.

Under the place where George Washington

planted the cornerstone ...

there is room for the Senate,

to the House ...

and there is a huge

visitor center.

The book also describes

a series of tunnels ...

linking the Capitol

the neighboring buildings.

They do exist

and for what purpose?

There is a tunnel that connects the center

visitors to the Jefferson Building ...

which is the main building

Library of Congress.

But there are other tunnels

more secret?

The other tunnels that exist

are tunnels under the Capitol steam ...

water tunnels,

control public services ...

and there are passages

to go from one building to another ...

and three buildings of the Senate

and the building of the House ...

There is a metro system

that connects the Capitol.

In the book, the symbologist Brown

the Capitol will make a speech ...

but instead,

makes a startling discovery ...

a severed human hand.

Langdon describes how this hand

adorned with symbolic tattoos ...
