    Ive been in construction for 12 years now. Everything i do is mechanical with my hands building sheds and barns and right now an hvac mechanic. Now im not a mason or a framer or carpenter but i have spent 5 years or more on new construction jobs installing hvac ductwork and equipment for 5-10 million dollar custom homes and light commercial buildings and i got a very good understanding how things are built and constructed. NEVER have i seen buildings being moved after complete besides houses that could be heavy hauled on a road wich is a 1x1 box compared to those buildings. No fuckin way in 1800s. I just dont believe we had the know how to build these building which are so perfect they seem to be some divine perfection and craftsmanship. Im leaning towards these buildings being here and we found them. I dont think our current civilization would build like this then 100 years later saying how far “ advanced “ we have become to never seeing any new building being built to this status. Were in a MASIVE age of deception and lies on mostly everything and after looking into this for a year i think there are some truly evil people running this world

    That brick shoreline is gonna live rent free in my head for a while. That’s WILD!! Where did all the brick come from? For all the cities that were supposedly built in the 1800 and early 1900’s where did all these bricks get made? Nobody could ever give me an answer that was sufficient enough. Especially after knowing how many bricks went into building fort Jefferson. Awesome video man. Great research. Thank you so much

      In all these cities around the world, throughout history, where billions of red bricks are used in building construction, we don't see the brickworks, the kilns, any production and transport of red brick. It's just missing. The red in red bricks is iron oxide. In areas of the world where there may be white clay soil deposits there are no naturally occurring iron oxide deposits, so where does the red pigment come from and why is it necessary? Iron oxide comes from red blood cells. Animal slaughterhouses, or human cannibalism? Some piece of the red brick story is missing.

    Your research skills and presentation skills are miles above the best I have ever seen! I truly appreciate your work! This level of detail, and objective presentation is so needed in this field of study. I don't know how you are able to stay so objective when confronted with so many blatant contradictions. I know my weaknesses and though I can research, I could never achieve the level of professionalism you do in your presentations. I thought in the first few minutes of this video that I needed a notebook because this is so filled with detail. Moreover, I need to study the material and/or watch it several times over again. Then you later so accurately pointed out that taking notes would be beneficial. You asked for contribution in the comments. An essay of five to fifteen pages could easily be written. Research you have suggested in this video alone could result in chapters of written research. This is minimally tier one college level teaching. Albeit, I can't think of one college professor that had the skills that you have. Worse, everything they teach is fiction and a total waste of time and money. lol You are truly a treasure to this body of research, I do hope more people see when your views are beyond astounding as your content should clearly be viral. You mentioned Paul Cook. I am not sure if you have seen his videos in which he has applied his skills as a plumber to his observations of infrastructure of water in the advanced old world. He is one of the few I do appreciate in the community due to the fact he does use his own skills, he does the digging, while applying logic that all too many people in this world sadly lack. I am only halfway through. I think I will wait until morning when I can absorb more material to get the most from your video. Thank you so much for your absolutely stellar quality work! Last, I just noticed tonight that I appear to have forgotten to set your channel to receive all notifications. This is the first I have seen of this series, unless the others weren't numbered, and I missed it. So I will be searching to make sure I see them all. Oh, and I just recalled your mention of sourcing material. That is so valuable and so rarely done. Thank you again!

      I take one thing back. I actually had one professor of Biochemistry that told us to throw out our textbooks at the beginning of the semester. She taught everything from her head and went around the entire room to put all material up on the black boards. We had to study notes from the board, every day to master that class and most of the class failed. She was fired after the semester I took her class. It was only the second semester she taught at the school. So your skills are on the same level as hers. With that said, for this area of study yours are still better.

Thus far, the few I have seen that have left comments support the mainstream narrative. That is by design of course, that people with professions have put a lot of years into it, have been pretty heavily indoctrinated and don't want to damage their reputation and herein lies the problem, I guess. This might be a little window to explain to us further why that is the case. From etymonline- profession (n.)

    This video raises some very interesting questions. I am working on a full-color book on a walking tour of the Columbian Exposition. One of the images I have restored is of the Admin Building. It clearly shows the seams in the staff and a small break on a corner piece, which shows the thin veneer of the staff. I think that settles the question as to the facade of at least the Admin building.

    Two months for the New York building is totally unacceptable. Even if they would keep working on it during the fair (which only lasted 6 months) it's still unacceptable. Besides, why would they start only 2 months prior to opening day? Another thing that creeps me out are those sinister bunches that pose before every building, staring at you like they're about to mug you. These are supposed to be all kinds of random fair go-ers that shouldn't know eachother but freeze when the cameraman said so, like they were paid to do so. You almost have the feeling there is no one else at the damn fair. But the biggest anomaly to me is the weathering on all those structures. At least the ones who didn't got a paintjob. Or where the walls meet the water.
    Anyway, excellent work as always! Thank you for making and sharing.

They both show what they are calling "construction", but the strange part is that they show are building it. But in one picture that shows the front of the building almost completed, and molding is seen laying on the ground, the water filled basin is in not there, and in the other where it shows the front less far along, the water is present.

      This is an interesting comment. There was a publication called Harper's Weekly that references this aspect of skilled artists and modellers from Europe that worked with staff at the Columbian Exposition.
      "Most of the sculptural work of the World's Fair is done by American artists. But there are no Americans who work in staff, perhaps for the reason that the American sculptor considers his dignity above the labour. The majority of the staff modellers come from Italy, and some few of them from France."
      It has an interesting section all about the making and use of staff. Very interesting how they mention no Americans work with this material because they felt it was...beneath them? This adds another logistical aspect to the construction of acquiring an international workforce. It later states in the article that "They learned their art in Italy..." which potentially could be referencing the art of scagliola.
      An interesting section on staff and its potential use at the exposition - link below if you're interested in reading more.

    By chance, do you have a link to the source of the video that shows people that are claimed to be to be crafting pillars to old world quality? I don't trust sources today when so many from History Channel for instance are all fiction, and fakery. It almost looks to me like the people crafting the pillar could be putting the layer of materials unto a finished pillar, and with a bit of editing magic it is made to look like they are creating something they didn't. I could be wrong. I would love to study this closer and the original source would help a lot. Thanks!

      @@LatentLexicon ok thank you. I wasn't able to find which link is the source to the video about the faux stone. I see it now. I will look up Scagliola. Thank you. Out of the gate though, logic tells me any faux stone would not hold up to time and too many of these pillars exist in perfect condition to this day. There was a huge complex of several old world brick abandoned buildings in which each one spanned an entire city block that I photographed, and perched in the middle of them was a mansion like structure. It had rose colored pillars, that were stunning that I stood to admire. They were absolutely flawless even though this complex had been pretty well sabotaged by the fact it was an extremely rough area known for extreme poverty, drugs and homelessness. People in the area destroyed everything they gained access to. I went inside the mansion type structure and I am sure I am telling you nothing, the entire interior was beyond grand but devastated by vandalism. I seriously doubt in that area people skipped over attempting to destroy the rose colored pillars, most especially when they stood out like semi-precious jewels amongst the decay that surrounded it. If those pillars were faux stone minimally the surface would be obliterated.
      It has been clear to me the few years I have been researching this, the parasite controllers deliberately financially gutted the grandest cities of the old world and ran in drugs intentionally to cause despair, hopelessness and anger. They certainly understand psychology and when people feel hopelessness, along with the prison like environment this city was and still is, with miles of mammoth size abandoned and decayed buildings that gives the feeling of being rat trapped in a maze, studies tell us that rats and people are at a high likelihood to become addicted to drugs. Gary Webb exposed the CIA was in fact running drugs into these cities to attack people in inner cities who had been financially devasted by the shipping of all the jobs, that is the opportunity these buildings once afforded, overseas. People will be naturally more aggressive in overcrowded environments (the parasites know this too), add total despair to that along with the effect drugs have on behavior and it explains exactly why these buildings have suffered pretty extensive damage due to vandalism. It doesn't explain the fact that slate roofs were destroyed and I have guessed the parasites have sent in professionals to do that to gut the interiors with water damage. Though with all the damage done to the interiors, it is interesting the exteriors including the rose colored pillars were still in near pristine shape before the buildings were torn down a few years ago. Everything then was made with a much different level of quality, including the brick that were fireproof that is not used today. I do appreciate the fact we must look at all possible explanations to be intellectually honest. I will definitely research faux stone. Though, there are too many factors to consider in the construction of these old world buildings that do stand the test of time if not very deliberately attacked and destroyed to feel we can find some explanation to support the preposterous narrative these architectural masterpieces were temporary, with all details to consider, as you always brilliantly point out.

      @@LatentLexicon this is what I thought. The pillars in old world architecture were almost certainly not made of Scagliola.
      Natural or Inherent Problems
      Cracks: Often caused by differential movement between sections. See 09200-13-R for guidance on repairing cracks.
      Delamination: Typically a flaw in the manufacture of the scagliola and can be as subtle as the placement of the burlap reinforcement, the type and gauge of plaster used for the backing, temperature fluctuations and moisture. See 09200-06-R for guidance on consolidating delaminated scagliola.
      Warped or bowed panels: May be caused by exposure to moisture, or by the natural tendency for these panels to contract.
      Vadalism [sic] or Human-Induced Problems
      Dirt: Accumulation of surface dirt can result from lack of routine cleaning and maintenance. See 09200-09-R for guidance on removing stains and efflorescence.
      Staining: Can result from the presence of water on or behind the surface and can cause internal metal components to oxidize and produce metallic staining. See 09200-09-R for guidance on removing stains and efflorescence.
      Finish Failure: This may include surface abrasion, small nicks, scratches, and discoloration (yellowing) of the finish over time. See 09200-07-R for guidance on finishing and polishing.
      Efflorescence: Can result from the presence of excessive amounts of water, causing salts from adjacent masonry or within the material to migrate to the surface. See "Removing Stains And Efflorescence From Architectural Scagliola" for guidance on removing stains and efflorescence.
      Fading: Inappropriate use of chemicals for cleaning can lead to color fading.
      Bubbles or surface irregularity: Typically occurs when the retarder component of the scagliola mixture is too strong or too weak, causing inappropriate drying of the color coating and backing.
      Other problems included missing or broken pieces, open joints,loose sections, improper repairs or maintenance, and inappropriate finishes. source- www.gsa.gov/real-estate/historic-preservation/historic-preservation-policy-tools/preservation-tools-resources/technical-procedures/architectural-scagliola-characteristics-uses-and-problems
      The parasite controllers of course have obsessively attempted to deceive us about the advanced old world. They have too many false narratives about the advanced civilization in our past to count as you are well aware. They certainly do attempt to engage in counterfeiting to deceive us. As a photographer, I am naturally observant and again, I have walked up and touched rose marble pillars on a historic building that were in pristine condition and without question they were made of stone. Too many of these buildings still exist to this day. They are in nearly every capital city in the country and they are scattered all over the U.S. in historic areas as you know.
      Scagliola wouldn't last at all and if they used this faux technique in Chicago they would use it everywhere most especially when the huge majority of these buildings from this era 'we are told' were built in a few years. So, we can easily debunk a consideration or claim that Scagliola would be a medium they used during this era. Though, I am aware they try to lead us to believe this method is ancient, it is likely much more modern than we are told.
      I looked up the buildings from the Chicago World Fair, of 1893. You mentioned the sad fact that few interior photos of the buildings exist from that era. Interestingly enough one of the buildings, the Pabst Building does still have the interior intact. The interiors from that era last forever and so did the pillars that were certainly made of marble or some other type of stone.
      The interior photos of the Pabst building can be seen here- www.thenotsoinnocentsabroad.com/blog/the-pabst-mansion-in-milwaukee-hopped-up-on-history

      This is compelling insight, indeed. I admire your drive to question these techniques and have looked over the links you provided. It is rare to have someone question an idea and present counter-arguments/evidence which is done respectfully. Appreciate that and respect is due for that in itself. Really like the Pabst building, very cool!
      I will say that the brief presentation on scagliola was more of a "this is interesting" topic. It is an alternative to "everything is stone". Proposing that there may be instances that are not intricate carved masonry or block work - to be discerning. I do not doubt that the buildings you have investigated and many structures, whether 200 years old or 2000 years old may have stonework within them. The stonework in ancient areas of our world is mind-boggling. There are many books I have collected over the years describing and depicting these anomalies. I'm currently working on a video of Paris in 1871 that has had fire rip through several buildings and the structures appear pretty solid. Quite convincingly stone.
      In one sense, it bolsters the idea that this technique was indeed a skillful art. An art that could spawn many errors if done incorrectly - One that requires time and a keen understanding of the materials being used.
      On the other, the article you sourced does indicate many ways that this material could potentially deteriorate. I could push back and say no material will stand the test of time, yet stone will last longer than a cement-like venir. Suppose it's the idea of getting bogged down into "if everything is stone, then nothing is stone". I tend to push back on absoluteness of ideas.
      The simple answer is I don't know.
      There do seem to be cycles or eras or periods that are shrouded in mystery. It is hard to determine what may have been possible. Yet, the creative ingenuity and capability of the human - both mind and body - should not be pushed into the corner.
      However, as you have mentioned...
      That same logic should be applied to the ability of humans to also deceive.

    The giant statue in the lagoon would present a wind loading issue being on the shores of the lake in the windy city, wind gusts would blow it down if it were not secured into the bedrock which would require a coffer dam built and pilings driven into the bedrock and the base built on top of that. Was the statue built on the land and moved as a whole or built in place with scaffolding hanging over the lagoon?

    1 Kings 6:7 For the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
    “We have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
    -Corinthians 5:1
    The Common Gavel is used by operative masons to prepare rough stones for the builder’s use; but we, as Free and Accepted Masons, are taught to use it for the more noble and glorious purpose of divesting our hearts and consciences of the vices and superfluities of life; thereby fitting our minds as living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

      Indeed! John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” The advanced old world was the Millennial Kingdom (MK) of Jesus Christ, an eternal Kingdom the parasite controllers spare no resources to attempt to hide, destroy and deceive us about. I have found the mention of living stone in the Bible fascinating and wonder if there is some truth to the claim of fires that would not destroy the buildings. They would destroy life however as difficult as that is to imagine life in reference to architecture. There has also been an obsession to remove and replace cornerstones. Ephesians 2 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. I believe the Lord's Prayer gives us insight regarding the advanced old world as well. Matthew 6 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
      10 THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
      The Bible does reveal so much about the advanced old world in our not so distant past but it is interesting though how most recognize it is impossible to build with any methods we understand today, almost no one will utter a sound to consider that it was the MK of Jesus Christ. Chicago seemed to be extremely important. It was formerly called Chilaga. I looked up the meaning of the word and found that Chi Rho of course means Jesus Christ. Laga is an old norse word that means 'under the authority of' (if memory serves me right) or city. I believe this explains why the history of America, and in turn Americans have been the target for over a century of especially malicious maligning.

    75,000,000 ft of lumber for all the buildings. Thats roughly 150-200 thousand trees. And that probanly isn't counting the ones they claim were driven into the ground for all the foundations. I doubt they could have gathered all the materials needed for this complex in 2 1/2 years, much less build the entire fair. That is a colossal amount of logs for the lumber. And another thing to look for is that the entire place was wiired for electricity and lighting. So normally buildings are wired before they start walling them up for easy access to the insides of the walls running wire. Dunno if that is something that can be observable from the pics to conclude whether they show "construction" or destruction. But it is something to keep in mind.

Fort Jefferson stated to be constructed of more than 16 million bricks being the largest. At least, that is the information we are given.

      The Art Palace or Museum of Science and Industry now, was the only structure indicated to have been built in a solid manner for insurance purposes. Housing many valuable artworks for the event. Despite other large buildings such as the Illinois building, Government building and many stately buildings having materials such as granite, marble, brick, masonry block-work and Illinois stone along with many others. These notable buildings were stated to be built of notable materials in the 'General Plan of The Exposition' which can be referenced in Campbell's Illustrated History - Vol. 1.
      The temporary narrative is increasingly becoming tired in many cases as even the main notable buildings included thousands of tonnes of steel, wood and glass of various shapes - including curved. Even staff or stuccos are still considered a permanent exterior covering as it's essentially a cement-like veneer.

      The Art building "has even been called 'the greatest thing since Athens.' "
      "It is severely classic in appearance, being of the Grecian-Ionic style."
      No mention of the statue though and why Julius Caesar? Leave that with me. This is...bizarre, for sure.

'We are told' Caesar believed he was God, well when we take the time to dig to learn this fact. It is the role of cherubim to protect the presence of God. We don't really know who the person is depicted in the statue. At this stage I don't believe they tell us anything that is true. Especially in regard to Romans when they have indoctrinated us to believe this population of psychopaths were heroes and of course they have because the El-ite are descendants of the Romans. Since by all appearances it is an ancient statue from the advanced old world, I would tend to highly doubt the statue would have a cheribum to protect God while it is a statue of the Roman psychopath Caesar.
