All roads lead to Rome, including those of downtown Dallas, which are oriented towards the Eternal City! The street where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, along with its neighbors, forms the "trident" of Dealey Plaza, mirrored by the Fountain of Neptune and the Tridente district in Rome. This axis continues along the Via Sistina, which leads to the city’s oldest basilicas.

Canadian researcher Kevin McMahon, who passed away in 2018, explains his discovery in more detail in this video. To visualize this correspondence, zoom out and move the map towards Rome.

The geographical analysis of downtown Dallas is the result of my own research. It boasts several buildings designed by architect I.M. Pei, including the Brutalist-style City Hall, shaped like an inverted pyramid, a precursor to the famous Louvre Pyramid inaugurated in 1989.

The public square in front of City Hall is laid out to form an axis leading to Dealey Plaza, the site of the November 22, 1963, assassination.

Dallas’s street plan dates back to the 1840s. It would be surprising if initiated surveyors had deliberately oriented them toward Rome, but this hypothesis cannot be entirely dismissed. Given that Kennedy was the first Catholic president of the United States, we are faced with a highly symplanistic coincidence, if not a hidden intention to "mark" the Dallas-Rome connection with a ritual assassination at this precise location.
