That does not look like a rounded up number. What was the number before it was rounded up? To the nearest hundredth it would be 6700, to the nearest tenth it would be 6670, and to the nearest unit 6667. If you rounded 6665 to 6666 to make a screwy point, you would be an idiot. Also, it is not a religious monument therefore, not a pagan obelisk.
Ah, memories....

Hoosier Daddy!
This was exhaustively researched and discussed on the History pseudo-history speculation series Ancient Aliens.

Aliens and the Founding Fathers
Spoiler: the arrangement of the buildings and monuments was carefully done to replicate a constellation to be viewed by space aliens with their version of the Webb telescope someday. Woman on top of US Capitol has stars to honor that.
Before the amusing and enjoyable show:
Books:
The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital by David Ovason.
Solomon’s Builders Freemasons, Founding Fathers and the Secrets of Washington D.C. by Christopher Hodapp
The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P. Hall
The monument is either 555ft or 555 ft 5 1/8’ tall. 555 feet is 6660 inches, or 6665.4125 inches. The original design was suppose to depict Egyptian sun imagery as well.
In the Capitol Dome you have the The Apotheosis of Washington which depicts Washington as a God surrounded by a pantheon of pagan gods. The first monument to Washington had him depicted as Zeus in his temple.
Further the Lincoln Memorial is a replica of a Greek temple. The Statue of Liberty is modeled after the Goddess Libertas or Sol Invictus.
The streets of DC are in the shape of a square and compass, the National Mall is in the design of an owl.
The Airforce Medal of Honor is in the shape of an inverted pentagram.
The fact is the monuments and layout of DC is heavily influenced by Greek and Roman culture.
Play the “It’s a small world” song on a continuous loop, and make him listen.
555 feet, 5 1/8 inches, I think.
