As an architect, I understand how much efforts had to be put into building these amazing structures. at a time of deep recession and low demographic... It just doesn't make any sense. Our history is a lie.
When you put it like that it’s hard to believe. The history they tel us seems more absurd and impossible when you really think about it. Even if it was technically possible for these massive structures to be built during this time..why and how could they spend all of that money and resources on building them during recessions and wars. Who funded them?
You're an architect? If you are, you would know the building styles of the first half of the 20th century when 'art deco' buildings were constructed to be ornate and decorative, influenced by elements from both Greek and Roman classic architecture. Where did it go? Art deco's costly ornamentation seemed wasteful in the aftermath of World War I. That's why it fell out of favor with builders, in addition to being more expensive than the new int'l forms of architecture.
When I was in engineering school in Oklahoma in the lare 70s, we went to OKC one Sunday to watch the urban renewal demolition of an old hotel, may have been the Biltmore. That experience came to mind on a certain September day.
Those buildings came down the exact same way. We know the kind of engineering that took, special rigging and all. I think those of us who saw the Biltmore come down understood what we saw when those towers dropped. Right in our faces and no one questions it.
I was the chef of a restaurant in the stockyards. Owner lived in an apartment upstairs. The whole building was all intricate wood work. And he was a Freemason
The Bricktown district in Oklahoma City is such an interesting place. Its been at least a decade since I've been. With all of those brick buildings, it makes me think it was a sort of giant battery, considering red brick can act as such.
i'm from Lawton Oklahoma, you should check out the wichita mountains, from a top down view there looks like it used to be a city built up around the whole mountain range, you can see what looks like an old world style road system all aver the range from north to south on th west side and the center like it used to be an old massive city like a new york
We're from Oklahoma also. It's crazy how the narrative is says they built this stuff in such a short period of time when the modern built county jail is falling apart and it even leans. We can't come anywhere near what they say they did .
@@triggahapyproductions8177 only bricktown is called brick town. Downtown is west of bricktown. Once you go under the tracks from downtown you are in bricktown. That area was all warehouses big red brick buildings and then abandoned - hence the first restaurant there The Spaghetti Warehouse. That kicked off the urban renewal of the area, what you see today is nothing like 30 years ago.
The Skirvin is amazing, it wont be torn down. It’s a landmark and a destination here. All the celebs stay there and it’s very sought after. It’s also haunted. Nothing about OKC makes sense. When you consider the architecture and the population nothing adds up. Central High School 5 stories built in 1911. Capitol Hill High School, a castle, built 1928. Lots of schools lookin like castles, lots of buildings gone from downtown. Also we have an entire underground under downtown that can be accessed from certain buildings. The only credit I can give to the building of these places is that the train tracks were already well established and it was big business here. The railroad came all through downtown to deliver materials.
The one thing you haven't considered.....OIL! OKC was rich with it, hence all the expensive buildings. There are still working pumpjacks on the capital grounds with the so called "fake" history about the dome not being added later. I've lived here all my life and I'm 53. i WATCHED THE DOME BEING ADDED SLOWLY DAY BY DAY! Not everything is a conspiracy people!!! Jeez Louise..... www.okhistory.org/images/learn/capitol/postcard.jpg
Solomon Andrew Layton was given credit for a few buildings in my small OK town. A Bank built between 1907 and 1909. There was a Carnegie Library on the main street built in 1909. It was demolished at some point. Solomon was busy
All of eastern Oklahoma is covered by forests. 24 percent of Oklahoma is covered by thick forest. "Look at the cows...no trees" - a statement made by someone who is neither educated nor knows what they are talking about.
I feel like screaming with anger, and crying with sadness when I look at all of this, especially the detail in the building @ 16:19 I want to know who build all this and what happened to them. WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT ALL THIS????? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM??????????
The First National Bank building was built aprox. 1931. The building is still there. If the workers were at least 20 years old they would be 114 years old today. I'm sure they are not living still.
I.M. Pei (I Am Pi), mentioned about 29:26 , is at least one of the keys to unlocking the 'FX' of these buildings. I remembered his odd name, because I ran across it when investigating my French family's history re: Paris, France and Roslyn, Scotland. We built the Chapel, Pei built the Louvre's Pyramid. Anyone who's read 'The DaVinci Code' knows the connection between the two edifices. However - what I found isn't just the overt link re: 'The Rose Family', but the covert one, which is the fact that all of these building designs (as well as every one of their 'elements'), are still radiating the Electromagnetic resonances from ALL of the rest of the Resets. You see, this is just one of the purposes of 'buildings' exposed by decoding the carvings on the walls and ceilings of the Chapel. What these resonances do is what we call 'cook'. (Everyone knows now that EMFs 'fry' us, but few connect the fact that these are all the same type of frequencies.) Whether applied to the environment, or structures of brick, bone or flesh, their 'FX' cause the same reaction over and over and over again, "returning dust to dust". (Tesla almost did this to a building in NYC using 'just resonances'.) The 'left-over ingredients' are then used for everything from our building materials (stones, sand, clay, etc.), to the soil in which we plant our crops, which are also vibrating at the same kind of 'Reset Rates'. This fact connects directly with Epigenetics, because the pulsations of these resonances equate to the same type of false signals as are 'built into the structure' of 'mod-mRNA 'Messages', the kind being added to everyone's Genetic 'BLUE'-'PRINTS' (I'll say it again: BLUUUUUUE'- 'Prints'), a.k.a. 'NUCLEAR' Codes, by way of their MITOCHONDRIAL DNA being FORCED to 'push' the latter's 'button'. Then 'All Hell' - explodes into action. Mitochondria are the kind of Genome a.k.a. Matri-Biome (MA-TREE-Bio), we get from ONLY our mothers - the kind being ignored by all of the 'expert' studies telling us: "These building materials are safe and effective". No they're not. They're false directions forced on our Energy Suppliers, which then create the chaos in the rest of the body. I can prove it - with the "Building Codes" carved into MY Chapel in Scotland. They're 'symbols' (sigils), that actually resonate unnatural patterns. They've already been proved by science to adversely affect - everything. Amplify them with 'ORGANS' - and the 'E'-'Missions' travel even farther out into the realm's different regions. Even the 'airwaves' are conducting them - everywhere... This is 'Old School' Genetic warfare - and it's just (literally), the proverbial tip of the ice-berg (or should I say 'ice-ring'?), of this 'Miss'-'Story'. It's all one big, round Pei/PI/PIE that's being CREATED here - with the pieces being divvied up by its creators - including those in Oklahoma City. I'll leave you with one last thought: Guthrie, OK served as the state capital from 1907 to 1910. It's the seat of one of the largest Scottish Rite Ma-Son-ic Lodges. Its namesake is 'Albert Pike'. He was a zealous activist for slavery and 'Reset' - 'The Building Code' - of the Organ-ization. So - if all you can see here is the external 'RE-Building Project', you need to look much, much, much deeper for it. TPTB mean to 'ALL'-'TAR' the entire 'Ec(h)o-System' that we *ARE* - because it really *IS* all connected. It's all the same 'cooked out' resonances... Yes, there's an 'Instant-Pot' way out of this mess, but few people 'get' it and even fewer want it. They like this slow-boiled-frog existence better...
In the days before well-paved streets and near-ubiquitous automobile ownership, electric streetcars were common in American cities, and Oklahoma City was no exception. Originally operating from 1903 to 1947, an extensive system of electrified streetcar routes radiated from a central terminal at what is now Sheridan and Hudson in downtown Oklahoma City. Interurban routes using the same technology extended the system west to El Reno, north to Guthrie, and south to Norman.
At one time the Biltmore Hotel was unrivaled in elegance. Located at Grand and Harvey, it had 33 stories and 619 rooms, and was among Oklahoma City’s tallest buildings. Not even the nearby Skirvin could compete for prominence on the city’s skyline. Each room offered access to a free radio - quite a luxury at the time the Biltmore opened in 1932. Ceiling fans and circulating ice water ensured every guest was comfortable. The dining areas sported crisp white linens with fine china, crystal and silver. Exquisite tapestries lined the walls, with rich wood-beamed ceilings. The hotel closed in 1973, falling victim to Oklahoma City’s “urban renewal” projects. On the Biltmore’s final morning that crisp autumn day, many openly wept as they watched a piece of Oklahoma City’s legacy come tumbling down.
Bostonian here . We have , supposedly, the first subway in the country . The Green Line . It always made me think that something didnt make sense , especially with all the old building weight on top of them . Have you looked into a Boston video yet ? Either way , God bless and hope you and your future explorers are well bud
@oldworldex If you ever decide to go deeper , I have links that would help . I worked in Harvard , in Cambridge (part of Boston) for years and have worked on a lot of historic buildings (Park St Church for instance) . Would love for people to see it through the right eyes .
Why is it that so many of these old world buildings have so many individual rooms and windows? It's that way everywhere. We also had similar type structures in Great Falls, MT., along with the Street Cars which are now extinct. You can still see the rail tracks coming through the streets downtown.
They didn't build any of that - all clean up and fix up - I think each 'town' was probably found and then inventoried and then kept 'hidden' until it was established to be repaired and repopulated - the photo's we see were just scaffolding to get up on them and deal with roofs that were in disrepair
6:10 As you shift around the picture, you can clearly see the vanilla sky by the 2 antennas on the left hand side of the building. Even in still image, you can see. There is a slight tint going around the building compared to the sky
I've lived in OKC since May of 2000 and passed by the Capital building every day for work until 2004. I don't remember any construction for a dome. From what I recall - it was already there - except for the statue of the Indian on top. Much ado was made of it 'finally' being added. (If there are pix of what appears to be construction anywhere, and I'm right about the dome, then they'll show the statue being placed on the top - as if it AND the dome were just added, but the latter wasn't.) I haven't even finished watching the video - yet. I just wanted to give a little confirmation on this point. I could poll my friends and see if anyone else remembers more.
Please do poll. Thank you for this. I was wondering if they would be so bold as to change such recent history. The story feels off to me so a local poll would go a long way.
@@oldworldex I saw one other commenter say they do remember the dome being built, but, I'm wondering if they just saw the scaffolding, like I did, for placing that huge statue on the top - during that time period. So I'll take a poll for you and see what else I can uncover. I've got a lot of acquaintances that have been here a lot longer than I have. The only other thing I have to add is that I'm from D.C., have moved all over the country and been in a lot of different EM 'Fields', because of it, but I 'all'-'ways' had a way above average sense of 'Direction' (all meanings intended), until I got to OK. This is literally the most mixed-up place I've ever lived. (OK is #1 in everything wrong with people: divorce, teenage pregnancy, mental illness, obesity, [unless MS. took that trophy away from us], domestic violence, incest, etc..) I hate it here, but can't move now or, at least - not yet. I'll get back to you as soon as I get more info re: the dome. By the way, that reminds me, OKC also has 'The Dome' built by Buckminster Fuller. Every time they talk about demolishing it, someone comes along and saves it. I thought that building was just one more for the 'odd building' list in OKC. It's an ugly 'golden' eyesore, but still 'historic', so (I guess?), worth keeping. But I have to wonder: What kind of resonances does it emit?! PI - I betcha...
The dome was a huge deal in Oklahoma. People tried to get it built for decades. They finally got public support to fund it. It took a couple years to complete as I remember. This is all easily verified by looking at the newspaper and TV archives from only 20-25 years ago. There is no mystery or conspiracy about any of it. Do some research.
When the Layton and Smith firm presented its preliminary drawings to the commission in 1914, the plans did not include a dome. However, the building was designed to allow for a weighty dome to adorn the central square rotunda. The original commission was split on the desirability of the dome due to the high cost, and as completed, the Capitol was not domed. In 1998 House Bill 2827 created the Oklahoma Centennial Act, which formed the Oklahoma Capitol Complex and Centennial Commemoration Commission. The commission immediately began efforts to fund a $20.8 million dome project. Begun in 2001, the dome was dedicated on November 16, 2002. Its crowning element is a twenty-two-foot-tall bronze sculpture called The Guardian, created by artist and State Sen. Enoch Kelly Haney of Seminole.
Lots of the buildings shown on postcards here are obviously mudflooders (steps leading up to the old first floor and windows at ground level or under) which is why many were probably torn down. A story repeated the world over but especially in North America 😢
The construction photo at 6:38 really doesn't make sense from a builders perspective.. When building multi storeyed structures, once the framework is complete, the storeys are raised and finished floor by floor. In the photo, they have 5 storeys facaded on one wings end, yet the ground level isn't even completed. Normally, the 4 storeys below the 5th would be completely facaded before proceeding on the 5th.. So it's a very odd and suspect photo imho
Playing devil's advocate, I remember seeing the capitol building domeless in the 1970s. As you mentioned, the dome installed in the early 2000s, which is at best a cheaply fabricated and ill-fitting structure, is already experiencing structural problems because modern construction techniques cannot precisely replicate those of the old-world artisans. One possibility is that the original dome was dismantled during this building's repurposing due to the presence of some ancient technology that was incorporated into it? I say this because of the metal lid that covered the dome opening before the addition, which, in my opinion, is evidence of a previously existing structure. From the interior pictures of the new dome I've seen, it's painfully apparent that it looks "off" and doesn't come close to matching the grandeur of the existing structure. I also noticed in the comment section that a few trolls are insulting you about your research, so you're doing something right and obviously rattling a few cages by exposing the coverups and misinformation we've been spoonfed for generations. Keep up the excellent work.
There is a town in Saskatchewan called Kerrobert and it has a pretty cool old court building built in 1920 that's the town hall now.and no other building even comes close to what that building looks like in the whole surrounding area including Saskatoon. Robert Kerr wanted that town to be the capital of Saskatchewan. Something strange happened in Saskatchewan and the province never advanced and it had a pretty good industry in the beginning of the 20th century.
Why are you so skeptical about Oklahoma City's buildings? What deception are talking about? You are wrong on nearly all of your assumptions. I am a fifth generation Oklahoman, and my family lived in Oklahoma before it became a state. Oklahoma City sprang into existence on April 22, 1889, when approximately fifty thousand participants of the Land Run of 1889 claimed town lots and quarter sections in the area known as the Unassigned Lands. On that date, four to six thousand settlers came to Oklahoma Station (later Oklahoma City) to establish homes and businesses. The Oklahoma State House was supposed to have a dome like all other capital buildings, but it was under construction in 1917, and what happened in 1917? The Dome was cancelled due to WWI and subsequent shortage of labor and materials. It was supposed to be added a few years after the war, but it was not a priority to Oklahoman then. Oklahoma began growing in 1889 when President Benjamin Harrison opened the first land run in Oklahoma - and it grew fast. In 1901 Tulsa became the oil capital of the world, and several years later Oklahoma City followed. In 1928, a giant oilfield was discovered under Oklahoma City. Cash was flowing through the city and resulted in the ornate buildings you pretend could never have been built in a lowly city like Oklahoma City. Wrong again. Oklahoma City and its founders were flush with cash, and this resulted in economic and population growth not seen since those days. OKC built big and fast and became home to some of the most ornate buildings west of the Mississippi. I work in downtown OKC in one of those beautiful buildings.
This was my thought. The reason for a lot of this is out there if he wanted to actually look it up and not speculate. Maybe it’s just funner to create conspiracy theories. I’ve lived here for 43 of my 50 years.
The problem with almost all the construction photos is that the design of the superstructure does not match the building. In today's world they do not have an understanding of masonry construction. They believe that there about a 4 story limit. Pilar and pilaster construction seems to be unheard of anymore. Also, multiple CMU constructed buildings are not being built. Everything is steel erection. That's what they have invested in engineering boilerplate. It's not rocket science. Towers with especially made openings draw air currents into the basement structure, which is then directed to either domes or flue vents. This maintains a constant temperature, which in turn allows the structure to last indefinitely. Even if you no longer have master artisans to lay terazzo flooring, form the column fascade, and wall (interior/exterior) detailing; the superstructure need not be shabby ...
One individual building wouldn't be the only thing being built during any particular time. So the 3 years while the capitol was being built there most probably were many more homes, churches and commercial buildings being built as well. How many men of age would have been able to do that, as well as be working as doctors, shop keepers etc?
I pass the Oklahoman building every day going to work, it was the main newspaper.as a life long resident born in 1965 it’s a disgrace they tore them down. I have seen old photos of St Mary’s when there’s nothing between the church and down town except the river.
Is that graffiti on the lower windows of the New Patterson building? To your point that streetcar does look very old, and the street looks fenced off? 24:46
I was here, I watched it go up. www.google.com/search?q=oklahoma+state+capitol+dome+construction&rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS949US949&oq=Oklahoma+state+capitol+dome+cons&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBECEYoAEyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigAdIBCjI1MjA5ajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1
OK, lets test this stuff out, many times I hear you say that these buildings cannot have been built back then, in frequency. So what would you say about Dresden Frauenkirche (1726-43; destroyed by Allied bombing, 1945; reconstructed 1992-2005)? Ten years to rebuild this building isn't all that long.
"Course they never rebuild them, no where near the way they used to look" 15:27...Your quote. "Why are we not able to duplicate how spectacular these buildings really are"..
Good point. Hailed as a marvel of modern architecture and engineering, they were able to rebuild this spectacular structure from the rubble. Of course they didn't have to do any foundation work because that was already intact. Also if you look at the interior much of it is painted as opposed to moulded. Looks like a 13 year timeline with all of the modern technology and the spirit of a nation behind it. Bravo! Looks like the original was built in 17 years, in the 1700's, without modern technology, while many other similar structures were also being built....and I'd be willing to wager the old interior would put the new one to shame.
Yes, the capital was built in the middle of a farm field. The old Harn Homestead is now a historical city. Your skepticism of the OKC story is misplaced. OKC was very much a boomer city. There were many old world masons. Much of the demolition was a result of "urban renewal" which in many ways was a effort to make sure that "the blacks" would not take over downtown. Not everyone was in favor the I. M. Pei plan, but the monied interests promoted it and made lots of money tearing down the buildings. The sad thing was the much of the city was torn down and left fallow for thirty plus years. Only in the last twenty years has OKC made a real effort to be a livable city.
I'd like to ask one of the Americans in that bank if they would guess that this country would be almost $34,000,000,000,000 in debt in roughly 100 years
Another great presentation! And the beginning video tour was a great find! I believe that most people are caught up in the " rat race" designed for us that they Can't see!
You seem to think that making fun of Oklahomans creating a beautiful capitol city is something to be admired. About the only truthful thing in your article was the bit about I. M. Pei, who was the architect hired by the city to raze almost the entire down town, turning it from a thriving commercial city into a veritable wasteland. I was raised in the SW of Oklahoma, and the greatest thrill we could have would be a trip from Altus to Oklahoma City for a weekend. It was a wonderland, and all the beautiful buildings, including theaters, department stores, hotels and restaurants were a pleasure indeed. You kept insinuating that the "street cars" as you called them, were a throwback to a former century. At that time, Oklahoma city had the largest interurban network in the nation -- going from El Reno on the west, to Shawnee in the east, and from Guthrie (original capitol) on the north, to Norman on the south. These "streetcars", as you call them, pulled together the entire area into what became the largest in area of cities in the United States, which lasted for many many years, indeed all the years I was growing up. The First National Bank building was meant to mimic the Empire State Building, and many structures in the city were designed after other famous buildings from all over the country. Your obsession with our delight in domes on buildings is a bit petty, IMHO, and most of them were still standing when I. M. Pei went on his tirade of destruction. I could go on and on - there is far far too much wonderful history about this wonderful city to comment on within the confines of this article. However, I could not let your misinformation lie still without comment, for "the City" as we refer to Oklahoma City, is still dear to the hearts of all Okies. Especially this 88 year old one.
I meant no offence to the people of the region. You're story of the way it used to be was wonderful, and the purpose for my making these videos. The truth is it's not just Oklahoma City that was decimated...it happened everywhere. Many of us are now asking why...beyond the explanation we were given.
@@oldworldex Thank you for your explanation. We Oklahomans were deceived in the mid 70's by people who wanted to profit by building anew. I don't know of a single person from that era who now believes the destruction was a good idea. It was savage, and it has taken a good half century to regain just some of the excitement of "the city". I remember the magic of the Criterian Theater, and lunch at Katz drug store -- and my mom loved to shop at Rothschilds -- on business trips, my dad always stayed at the Huckins hotel. I was a page in the state Senate for several weeks in 1951. My memories of Oklahoma City will never diminish. It was THE place. Tulsa still hasn't caught up to it yet.
@rednekokie thank you for speaking up for Oklahomans & Oklahoma history! We weren’t a bunch of cavemen running around Indian Territory before statehood. OKC wasn’t even the original location for the Capitol. It became the Capitol in 1910. The amount of oil, cattle & railroad barons already here in Indian Territory/Oklahoma at the time not only had money but also a lot of hubris. Go figure. I believe even Canada has had some of that in their history. You also wouldn’t want to build a Capitol building in the middle of a town with existing buildings. You’d need the room for construction. In the central portion of Oklahoma you have pasture. Did you want a forest? In Oklahoma what do you find on pastures….ooooh cattle! There’s an old framed picture in the Capitol building of it after it was built. There weren’t any buildings on the north side at that time, it was an oil field with several oil rigs. I’m sure you’ll say that’s photoshopped too. I don’t think the location was picked for the cattle though. Arizona & New Mexico weren’t even states yet. We were the new kid on the block. The block also had resources that made people money. My grandparents were born here. So I heard of our history through people who lived during that time. Don’t underestimate the power of money & hubris. There’s a lot going around today.
This is the Twilight Zone made real. I wonder if they just abducted all these people and made them slaves on other worlds, planets, asteroid mining operations, underground cities, etc.
They were sold to people who wanted to incorporate them into their homes. A friend of mind bought the entire 2nd floor of the Midwest Theater to panel his apartment.
I mean, the foundational requirements for some of these buildings is the real gave away. Pick and shovel, hammer and chisel, and horse and cart. To dig down 20 or 30 feet and lay a stone block foundation for a 5 or 6 story building. I dunno. Seems a bit overwhelming.
I grew up in Blanchard our highschool was underground. We had one stop light at the time. The downtown of the town also is underground when you go into the shops. I always wondered how such a small town had what so many towns with populations had. I am excited to watch this. I was born in Flint Michigan and when I moved to Oklahoma at 11 there were alot of jokes of being ignorant and being an "okie". I feel like there has to be more too it. Why would the narrative label people ignorant that clearly could build like everyone else? Was the dustbowl even a thing? I had a history teacher that talked about our capital being one of the last to get a dome. Bottom line if our history wasnt lied about and turned into a mystery,. I'm not sure it would be so intriguing. I would love a breakdown of ponca city and norman.
I was raised in and around Radford Virginia. I'm in my late 50s and have always been interested in history. Radford is a tiny incorporated city and yet it also had a streetcar system in the early 20th century
You need to realize the history of the city to understand why it grew in the way it did. The capital was not originally in OKC. It was in Guthrie, which wasn’t centrally located in the state. When the decision was made to move the capital there was rapid growth. I’m not sure what you mean by narrative being off. Prior to the oil boom and the capital reposition you are not gonna see a lot to OKC especially in terms of population. What doesn’t make sense? The fact that they tore down old buildings that were built too fast and had bad foundations with creaky, soft floors, poor plumbing, and a total lack of electrical outlets doesn’t surprise me. These buildings were not palaces
OKC born and raised and i have literally no idea what this video is implying lmfao. You know Oklahoma belonged to the Indians and has had multiple oil boom/busts, right?
Might look into University of Oklahoma in Norman too. Not quite as ornate but questionable. Just waking to this old world building thing the last two months or so.
I love the construction photo of the built more with all the scaffolding and things with a beautiful sidewalk with crossing lights and all 😂 These people never counted on us ever being able to communicate all over the world. Just wondering what else they have lied about. I'm researching Eric Dubay and the flat earth theory and I gotta tell you, Neil (Disgrace Lie-son DeGrasse)Tyson backed down from a debate with Eric on the Joe (we did/didn't go to the moon) Rogan podcast and I'm definitely leaning towards Eric Dubay for sure! These videos just help show they will lie about anything!
You sound like conspiracy theorist. I'm not sure what all these lies you are talking about are. Many of these buildings are still here in OKC. The leaders in the city were apparently pretty well off (probably not all that honest in many cases either). I was at the capitol dome dedication and I always heard that the original design had a dome but they ran out of money and did not build it until it was added much later I think with the original plans. According to a web page I found.... "The old Oklahoma County Courthouse was built in 1903 and served as such until the new Courthouse in the Civic Center opened in 1937. It was severly damaged by, and was boarded up and not salvaged after, a 1944 fire and was finally demolished in 1950 or 1951. The building was located between Dewey and Walker, north of Grand (Sheridan), south of Main, southwest of the Montgomery Wards Building." FYI
Syatic in the attic is a construction expert as a builder and he says all of it was possible the way yhey say,you see any of my lunch breaks stuff?, I have seen the Auckland museum I think in nee Zealand that was opened in 1952 after the city was founded from nothing in 1840?,ehete did they get all the stuff?,by boay like what allegedly happened in Australia?,in Sydney we have 1825 state bank building and churches from same year yhat the stuff used came out of yhin aor allegedly,so much building work from 1820 to 1830 its almost unbearable from a 30 2 40 year old town,like the big bang nothing created everything, allegedly 😂👍💉💀🆗👽🐍🐲🐉👁️✋🌀🌪️👾🇱🇷🆒🔥😍📽️🎥👋🐑 Mannus on the amazon River had in 1850 a well established trolley 🚗 system even Too 🔨💍👑🦜😂🚒🥼🤸🧲🌈

Hi I’m a 60yr old Oklahoman & OKC resident living near downtown in a historical district and Im baffled!!!What narrative are you calling into question?? There are major flaws in your video…you are showing buildings from both Guthrie & OKC. They are 2 separate cities, 30 miles apart. & being Canadian, you must not be familiar with an unfortunate era called “Urban Renewal” when our city had beautiful historic buildings destroyed in order to bring new, “fresh”buildings…only to be forgotten d/t a recession in the oil industry. You are misinformed my good sir & spreading misinformation.
As an architect, I understand how much efforts had to be put into building these amazing structures. at a time of deep recession and low demographic... It just doesn't make any sense. Our history is a lie.
Covered wagons, 2 track trails across the plains, dealing with outlaws and Indian attacks, sickness and death...
Yep, TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!
As an engineer, the lie is massive. And the sheep can't even comprehend the lie when you show them.
When you put it like that it’s hard to believe. The history they tel us seems more absurd and impossible when you really think about it. Even if it was technically possible for these massive structures to be built during this time..why and how could they spend all of that money and resources on building them during recessions and wars. Who funded them?
You're an architect? If you are, you would know the building styles of the first half of the 20th century when 'art deco' buildings were constructed to be ornate and decorative, influenced by elements from both Greek and Roman classic architecture. Where did it go? Art deco's costly ornamentation seemed wasteful in the aftermath of World War I. That's why it fell out of favor with builders, in addition to being more expensive than the new int'l forms of architecture.
@@Mr.C.RidesAgain Thank you!!
When I was in engineering school in Oklahoma in the lare 70s, we went to OKC one Sunday to watch the urban renewal demolition of an old hotel, may have been the Biltmore. That experience came to mind on a certain September day.
Those buildings came down the exact same way. We know the kind of engineering that took, special rigging and all. I think those of us who saw the Biltmore come down understood what we saw when those towers dropped. Right in our faces and no one questions it.
I was the chef of a restaurant in the stockyards. Owner lived in an apartment upstairs. The whole building was all intricate wood work. And he was a Freemason
you should see the original photos...insane
The Bricktown district in Oklahoma City is such an interesting place. Its been at least a decade since I've been. With all of those brick buildings, it makes me think it was a sort of giant battery, considering red brick can act as such.
i'm from Lawton Oklahoma, you should check out the wichita mountains, from a top down view there looks like it used to be a city built up around the whole mountain range, you can see what looks like an old world style road system all aver the range from north to south on th west side and the center like it used to be an old massive city like a new york
downtown oklahoma city is called brick town
Just taking a look now...wow!
We're from Oklahoma also. It's crazy how the narrative is says they built this stuff in such a short period of time when the modern built county jail is falling apart and it even leans. We can't come anywhere near what they say they did .
Looks like destruction of stone buildings there
@@triggahapyproductions8177 only bricktown is called brick town. Downtown is west of bricktown. Once you go under the tracks from downtown you are in bricktown. That area was all warehouses big red brick buildings and then abandoned - hence the first restaurant there The Spaghetti Warehouse. That kicked off the urban renewal of the area, what you see today is nothing like 30 years ago.
The Skirvin is amazing, it wont be torn down. It’s a landmark and a destination here. All the celebs stay there and it’s very sought after. It’s also haunted.
Nothing about OKC makes sense. When you consider the architecture and the population nothing adds up. Central High School 5 stories built in 1911. Capitol Hill High School, a castle, built 1928. Lots of schools lookin like castles, lots of buildings gone from downtown. Also we have an entire underground under downtown that can be accessed from certain buildings. The only credit I can give to the building of these places is that the train tracks were already well established and it was big business here. The railroad came all through downtown to deliver materials.
The one thing you haven't considered.....OIL! OKC was rich with it, hence all the expensive buildings. There are still working pumpjacks on the capital grounds with the so called "fake" history about the dome not being added later. I've lived here all my life and I'm 53. i WATCHED THE DOME BEING ADDED SLOWLY DAY BY DAY! Not everything is a conspiracy people!!! Jeez Louise.....

Thank you for this is wonderful insight much blessings and also an eye opener 🙏
Solomon Andrew Layton was given credit for a few buildings in my small OK town. A Bank built between 1907 and 1909. There was a Carnegie Library on the main street built in 1909. It was demolished at some point. Solomon was busy
Granite and marble are not easily moved. They can crack. And all the wood finishes. Oklahoma was Prarie look at the cow pictures...no trees.
Oklahoma has trees still. It's a Prarie not a desert lol
All of eastern Oklahoma is covered by forests. 24 percent of Oklahoma is covered by thick forest. "Look at the cows...no trees" - a statement made by someone who is neither educated nor knows what they are talking about.
I feel like screaming with anger, and crying with sadness when I look at all of this, especially the detail in the building @ 16:19 I want to know who build all this and what happened to them. WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT ALL THIS????? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM??????????
Righteous anger... 100% justified!!
I am feeling the same. So many lies and the destruction of far too many incredible buildings!
Most likely the Millennial Reign of Christ already happened. These buildings are worldwide.
The saints and or angels could've built them.
The First National Bank building was built aprox. 1931. The building is still there. If the workers were at least 20 years old they would be 114 years old today. I'm sure they are not living still.
Also they did a renovation inside the building and it is very nice. I have not been in it since they finished though.
I.M. Pei (I Am Pi), mentioned about 29:26 , is at least one of the keys to unlocking the 'FX' of these buildings. I remembered his odd name, because I ran across it when investigating my French family's history re: Paris, France and Roslyn, Scotland. We built the Chapel, Pei built the Louvre's Pyramid. Anyone who's read 'The DaVinci Code' knows the connection between the two edifices.
However - what I found isn't just the overt link re: 'The Rose Family', but the covert one, which is the fact that all of these building designs (as well as every one of their 'elements'), are still radiating the Electromagnetic resonances from ALL of the rest of the Resets. You see, this is just one of the purposes of 'buildings' exposed by decoding the carvings on the walls and ceilings of the Chapel.
What these resonances do is what we call 'cook'. (Everyone knows now that EMFs 'fry' us, but few connect the fact that these are all the same type of frequencies.) Whether applied to the environment, or structures of brick, bone or flesh, their 'FX' cause the same reaction over and over and over again, "returning dust to dust". (Tesla almost did this to a building in NYC using 'just resonances'.) The 'left-over ingredients' are then used for everything from our building materials (stones, sand, clay, etc.), to the soil in which we plant our crops, which are also vibrating at the same kind of 'Reset Rates'.
This fact connects directly with Epigenetics, because the pulsations of these resonances equate to the same type of false signals as are 'built into the structure' of 'mod-mRNA 'Messages', the kind being added to everyone's Genetic 'BLUE'-'PRINTS' (I'll say it again: BLUUUUUUE'- 'Prints'), a.k.a. 'NUCLEAR' Codes, by way of their MITOCHONDRIAL DNA being FORCED to 'push' the latter's 'button'. Then 'All Hell' - explodes into action.
Mitochondria are the kind of Genome a.k.a. Matri-Biome (MA-TREE-Bio), we get from ONLY our mothers - the kind being ignored by all of the 'expert' studies telling us: "These building materials are safe and effective". No they're not. They're false directions forced on our Energy Suppliers, which then create the chaos in the rest of the body.
I can prove it - with the "Building Codes" carved into MY Chapel in Scotland. They're 'symbols' (sigils), that actually resonate unnatural patterns. They've already been proved by science to adversely affect - everything. Amplify them with 'ORGANS' - and the 'E'-'Missions' travel even farther out into the realm's different regions.
Even the 'airwaves' are conducting them - everywhere...
This is 'Old School' Genetic warfare - and it's just (literally), the proverbial tip of the ice-berg (or should I say 'ice-ring'?), of this 'Miss'-'Story'. It's all one big, round Pei/PI/PIE that's being CREATED here - with the pieces being divvied up by its creators - including those in Oklahoma City.
I'll leave you with one last thought: Guthrie, OK served as the state capital from 1907 to 1910. It's the seat of one of the largest Scottish Rite Ma-Son-ic Lodges. Its namesake is 'Albert Pike'. He was a zealous activist for slavery and 'Reset' - 'The Building Code' - of the Organ-ization.
So - if all you can see here is the external 'RE-Building Project', you need to look much, much, much deeper for it. TPTB mean to 'ALL'-'TAR' the entire 'Ec(h)o-System' that we *ARE* - because it really *IS* all connected. It's all the same 'cooked out' resonances... Yes, there's an 'Instant-Pot' way out of this mess, but few people 'get' it and even fewer want it. They like this slow-boiled-frog existence better...
Oklahoma City was one of the main cities in Atlantis under the Tartarian Kings of Atlantis which was in the ancient Americas.
Another great video. You are one of my favorite old world channels. ❤
We’re the buildings built in the millennial kingdom. And we are now living in the short season after which the devil gets to rule one more time ?
Sure seems like the devil is in control more and more every day.
Beautiful interior 🎉
The Skirvin Hotel looks like the Rice Hotel in Houston. It is odd that in a world where 'imitation is a sin" that so many buildings look alike.
Superb video brother!
Thanks again for sharing your passion for the truth.
Peace love and blessings!
Much appreciated
Amazing intro. It really makes you think!
The Skirvin is now the Skirvin Hilton and has been restored to its former elegance. You have to realize that oil is money,
In the days before well-paved streets and near-ubiquitous automobile ownership, electric streetcars were common in American cities, and Oklahoma City was no exception. Originally operating from 1903 to 1947, an extensive system of electrified streetcar routes radiated from a central terminal at what is now Sheridan and Hudson in downtown Oklahoma City. Interurban routes using the same technology extended the system west to El Reno, north to Guthrie, and south to Norman.
I think they converted these to electric busses I remember when I was young in the 1950-60's.
You should check out Guthrie, Oklahoma.
At one time the Biltmore Hotel was unrivaled in elegance. Located at Grand and Harvey, it had 33 stories and 619 rooms, and was among Oklahoma City’s tallest buildings. Not even the nearby Skirvin could compete for prominence on the city’s skyline.
Each room offered access to a free radio - quite a luxury at the time the Biltmore opened in 1932. Ceiling fans and circulating ice water ensured every guest was comfortable. The dining areas sported crisp white linens with fine china, crystal and silver. Exquisite tapestries lined the walls, with rich wood-beamed ceilings.
The hotel closed in 1973, falling victim to Oklahoma City’s “urban renewal” projects. On the Biltmore’s final morning that crisp autumn day, many openly wept as they watched a piece of Oklahoma City’s legacy come tumbling down.
Bostonian here . We have , supposedly, the first subway in the country . The Green Line . It always made me think that something didnt make sense , especially with all the old building weight on top of them . Have you looked into a Boston video yet ? Either way , God bless and hope you and your future explorers are well bud
I'm sure I could have gone a lot deeper..
czcams.com/video/UZ6B9IDo9BA/video.html
@oldworldex Awesome , going to watch after this . Im sure it's a great dive either way . Thanks for the link bud 👍
@oldworldex If you ever decide to go deeper , I have links that would help . I worked in Harvard , in Cambridge (part of Boston) for years and have worked on a lot of historic buildings (Park St Church for instance) . Would love for people to see it through the right eyes .
Why is it that so many of these old world buildings have so many individual rooms and windows? It's that way everywhere.
We also had similar type structures in Great Falls, MT., along with the Street Cars which are now extinct.
You can still see the rail tracks coming through the streets downtown.
I'm so glad you covered OKC. I live here and have wondered myself. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How did you get that drone footage??😮
They didn't build any of that - all clean up and fix up - I think each 'town' was probably found and then inventoried and then kept 'hidden' until it was established to be repaired and repopulated - the photo's we see were just scaffolding to get up on them and deal with roofs that were in disrepair
it was built by babylon
Very well done! This is a great way to make the case of our stolen history, one state and one city at a time.
Yes and I love his voice!
He is now my favorite old world channel. ❤
Great work! Very shareable to builder friends
I’m thinking that the number of people in this city was populated by the orphans.
Intro is 🔥
6:10 As you shift around the picture, you can clearly see the vanilla sky by the 2 antennas on the left hand side of the building. Even in still image, you can see. There is a slight tint going around the building compared to the sky
Dunham College at The University of Oklahoma was just opened in 2017. They kept the architecture style of the rest of the campus.
I've lived in OKC since May of 2000 and passed by the Capital building every day for work until 2004. I don't remember any construction for a dome. From what I recall - it was already there - except for the statue of the Indian on top.
Much ado was made of it 'finally' being added. (If there are pix of what appears to be construction anywhere, and I'm right about the dome, then they'll show the statue being placed on the top - as if it AND the dome were just added, but the latter wasn't.) I haven't even finished watching the video - yet. I just wanted to give a little confirmation on this point. I could poll my friends and see if anyone else remembers more.
Please do poll. Thank you for this. I was wondering if they would be so bold as to change such recent history. The story feels off to me so a local poll would go a long way.
@@oldworldex I saw one other commenter say they do remember the dome being built, but, I'm wondering if they just saw the scaffolding, like I did, for placing that huge statue on the top - during that time period. So I'll take a poll for you and see what else I can uncover. I've got a lot of acquaintances that have been here a lot longer than I have.
The only other thing I have to add is that I'm from D.C., have moved all over the country and been in a lot of different EM 'Fields', because of it, but I 'all'-'ways' had a way above average sense of 'Direction' (all meanings intended), until I got to OK.
This is literally the most mixed-up place I've ever lived. (OK is #1 in everything wrong with people: divorce, teenage pregnancy, mental illness, obesity, [unless MS. took that trophy away from us], domestic violence, incest, etc..) I hate it here, but can't move now or, at least - not yet. I'll get back to you as soon as I get more info re: the dome.
By the way, that reminds me, OKC also has 'The Dome' built by Buckminster Fuller. Every time they talk about demolishing it, someone comes along and saves it. I thought that building was just one more for the 'odd building' list in OKC. It's an ugly 'golden' eyesore, but still 'historic', so (I guess?), worth keeping. But I have to wonder: What kind of resonances does it emit?! PI - I betcha...
I wasn't clear if the dome was added as a decorative top or is it a dome oculus?
The dome was a huge deal in Oklahoma. People tried to get it built for decades. They finally got public support to fund it. It took a couple years to complete as I remember. This is all easily verified by looking at the newspaper and TV archives from only 20-25 years ago. There is no mystery or conspiracy about any of it. Do some research.
When the Layton and Smith firm presented its preliminary drawings to the commission in 1914, the plans did not include a dome. However, the building was designed to allow for a weighty dome to adorn the central square rotunda. The original commission was split on the desirability of the dome due to the high cost, and as completed, the Capitol was not domed. In 1998 House Bill 2827 created the Oklahoma Centennial Act, which formed the Oklahoma Capitol Complex and Centennial Commemoration Commission. The commission immediately began efforts to fund a $20.8 million dome project. Begun in 2001, the dome was dedicated on November 16, 2002. Its crowning element is a twenty-two-foot-tall bronze sculpture called The Guardian, created by artist and State Sen. Enoch Kelly Haney of Seminole.
Okc was actually well known for their early street car system. The ornate early construction was paid for by the powerful economic engine of oil.
Lots of the buildings shown on postcards here are obviously mudflooders (steps leading up to the old first floor and windows at ground level or under) which is why many were probably torn down. A story repeated the world over but especially in North America 😢
The construction photo at 6:38 really doesn't make sense from a builders perspective..
When building multi storeyed structures, once the framework is complete, the storeys are raised and finished floor by floor.
In the photo, they have 5 storeys facaded on one wings end, yet the ground level isn't even completed.
Normally, the 4 storeys below the 5th would be completely facaded before proceeding on the 5th..
So it's a very odd and suspect photo imho
They are really good with photoshop that's for sure. Lots of holes and very suspect indeed.
Playing devil's advocate, I remember seeing the capitol building domeless in the 1970s. As you mentioned, the dome installed in the early 2000s, which is at best a cheaply fabricated and ill-fitting structure, is already experiencing structural problems because modern construction techniques cannot precisely replicate those of the old-world artisans. One possibility is that the original dome was dismantled during this building's repurposing due to the presence of some ancient technology that was incorporated into it? I say this because of the metal lid that covered the dome opening before the addition, which, in my opinion, is evidence of a previously existing structure. From the interior pictures of the new dome I've seen, it's painfully apparent that it looks "off" and doesn't come close to matching the grandeur of the existing structure.
I also noticed in the comment section that a few trolls are insulting you about your research, so you're doing something right and obviously rattling a few cages by exposing the coverups and misinformation we've been spoonfed for generations.
Keep up the excellent work.
There is a town in Saskatchewan called Kerrobert and it has a pretty cool old court building built in 1920 that's the town hall now.and no other building even comes close to what that building looks like in the whole surrounding area including Saskatoon. Robert Kerr wanted that town to be the capital of Saskatchewan. Something strange happened in Saskatchewan and the province never advanced and it had a pretty good industry in the beginning of the 20th century.
Why are you so skeptical about Oklahoma City's buildings? What deception are talking about? You are wrong on nearly all of your assumptions. I am a fifth generation Oklahoman, and my family lived in Oklahoma before it became a state. Oklahoma City sprang into existence on April 22, 1889, when approximately fifty thousand participants of the Land Run of 1889 claimed town lots and quarter sections in the area known as the Unassigned Lands. On that date, four to six thousand settlers came to Oklahoma Station (later Oklahoma City) to establish homes and businesses. The Oklahoma State House was supposed to have a dome like all other capital buildings, but it was under construction in 1917, and what happened in 1917? The Dome was cancelled due to WWI and subsequent shortage of labor and materials. It was supposed to be added a few years after the war, but it was not a priority to Oklahoman then. Oklahoma began growing in 1889 when President Benjamin Harrison opened the first land run in Oklahoma - and it grew fast. In 1901 Tulsa became the oil capital of the world, and several years later Oklahoma City followed. In 1928, a giant oilfield was discovered under Oklahoma City. Cash was flowing through the city and resulted in the ornate buildings you pretend could never have been built in a lowly city like Oklahoma City. Wrong again. Oklahoma City and its founders were flush with cash, and this resulted in economic and population growth not seen since those days. OKC built big and fast and became home to some of the most ornate buildings west of the Mississippi. I work in downtown OKC in one of those beautiful buildings.
This was my thought. The reason for a lot of this is out there if he wanted to actually look it up and not speculate. Maybe it’s just funner to create conspiracy theories. I’ve lived here for 43 of my 50 years.
I enjoyed this one very much!
My brother lives near Oklahoma City and I will get him to take some video!
YOU GET A DOME, YOU GET A DOME, YOU GET A DOME!!
EXCELLENT SHARE
Thank you brother and Tulsa Oklahoma. Also have a lot of these old world buildings. I’ve been awake for a while to do one for their.
did one

I dont understand. Why would such a young city tear down these masterpieces of architecture? Its not like there is a shortage of space...
I have seen many so-called construction photos and one I notice is that you are never able to see the base of the so-called cranes.
The problem with almost all the construction photos is that the design of the superstructure does not match the building.
In today's world they do not have an understanding of masonry construction. They believe that there about a 4 story limit. Pilar and pilaster construction seems to be unheard of anymore. Also, multiple CMU constructed buildings are not being built. Everything is steel erection. That's what they have invested in engineering boilerplate.
It's not rocket science.
Towers with especially made openings draw air currents into the basement structure, which is then directed to either domes or flue vents. This maintains a constant temperature, which in turn allows the structure to last indefinitely.
Even if you no longer have master artisans to lay terazzo flooring, form the column fascade, and wall (interior/exterior) detailing; the superstructure need not be shabby ...
One individual building wouldn't be the only thing being built during any particular time. So the 3 years while the capitol was being built there most probably were many more homes, churches and commercial buildings being built as well. How many men of age would have been able to do that, as well as be working as doctors, shop keepers etc?
I saw the dome under construction. There were news reports at the time they were struggling with structural issues.
interesting..
I pass the Oklahoman building every day going to work, it was the main newspaper.as a life long resident born in 1965 it’s a disgrace they tore them down. I have seen old photos of St Mary’s when there’s nothing between the church and down town except the river.
Where did you get that footage at the beginning? That's insane!
link in description
how on earth was that intro video taken?.... as amazing as the building!
Is that graffiti on the lower windows of the New Patterson building? To your point that streetcar does look very old, and the street looks fenced off? 24:46
The dome is brand new? that's baloney methinks

OK, lets test this stuff out, many times I hear you say that these buildings cannot have been built back then, in frequency. So what would you say about Dresden Frauenkirche (1726-43; destroyed by Allied bombing, 1945; reconstructed 1992-2005)? Ten years to rebuild this building isn't all that long.
"Course they never rebuild them, no where near the way they used to look" 15:27...Your quote. "Why are we not able to duplicate how spectacular these buildings really are"..
Good point. Hailed as a marvel of modern architecture and engineering, they were able to rebuild this spectacular structure from the rubble. Of course they didn't have to do any foundation work because that was already intact. Also if you look at the interior much of it is painted as opposed to moulded. Looks like a 13 year timeline with all of the modern technology and the spirit of a nation behind it. Bravo! Looks like the original was built in 17 years, in the 1700's, without modern technology, while many other similar structures were also being built....and I'd be willing to wager the old interior would put the new one to shame.
Yes, the capital was built in the middle of a farm field. The old Harn Homestead is now a historical city. Your skepticism of the OKC story is misplaced. OKC was very much a boomer city. There were many old world masons. Much of the demolition was a result of "urban renewal" which in many ways was a effort to make sure that "the blacks" would not take over downtown. Not everyone was in favor the I. M. Pei plan, but the monied interests promoted it and made lots of money tearing down the buildings. The sad thing was the much of the city was torn down and left fallow for thirty plus years. Only in the last twenty years has OKC made a real effort to be a livable city.
What’s the ramp on top of the building?

I'd like to ask one of the Americans in that bank if they would guess that this country would be almost $34,000,000,000,000 in debt in roughly 100 years

You seem to think that making fun of Oklahomans creating a beautiful capitol city is something to be admired. About the only truthful thing in your article was the bit about I. M. Pei, who was the architect hired by the city to raze almost the entire down town, turning it from a thriving commercial city into a veritable wasteland.
I was raised in the SW of Oklahoma, and the greatest thrill we could have would be a trip from Altus to Oklahoma City for a weekend. It was a wonderland, and all the beautiful buildings, including theaters, department stores, hotels and restaurants were a pleasure indeed.
You kept insinuating that the "street cars" as you called them, were a throwback to a former century. At that time, Oklahoma city had the largest interurban network in the nation -- going from El Reno on the west, to Shawnee in the east, and from Guthrie (original capitol) on the north, to Norman on the south. These "streetcars", as you call them, pulled together the entire area into what became the largest in area of cities in the United States, which lasted for many many years, indeed all the years I was growing up.
The First National Bank building was meant to mimic the Empire State Building, and many structures in the city were designed after other famous buildings from all over the country. Your obsession with our delight in domes on buildings is a bit petty, IMHO, and most of them were still standing when I. M. Pei went on his tirade of destruction.
I could go on and on - there is far far too much wonderful history about this wonderful city to comment on within the confines of this article.
However, I could not let your misinformation lie still without comment, for "the City" as we refer to Oklahoma City, is still dear to the hearts of all Okies. Especially this 88 year old one.
I meant no offence to the people of the region. You're story of the way it used to be was wonderful, and the purpose for my making these videos. The truth is it's not just Oklahoma City that was decimated...it happened everywhere. Many of us are now asking why...beyond the explanation we were given.
@@oldworldex Thank you for your explanation. We Oklahomans were deceived in the mid 70's by people who wanted to profit by building anew. I don't know of a single person from that era who now believes the destruction was a good idea. It was savage, and it has taken a good half century to regain just some of the excitement of "the city". I remember the magic of the Criterian Theater, and lunch at Katz drug store -- and my mom loved to shop at Rothschilds -- on business trips, my dad always stayed at the Huckins hotel. I was a page in the state Senate for several weeks in 1951. My memories of Oklahoma City will never diminish. It was THE place. Tulsa still hasn't caught up to it yet.
@rednekokie thank you for speaking up for Oklahomans & Oklahoma history! We weren’t a bunch of cavemen running around Indian Territory before statehood. OKC wasn’t even the original location for the Capitol. It became the Capitol in 1910. The amount of oil, cattle & railroad barons already here in Indian Territory/Oklahoma at the time not only had money but also a lot of hubris. Go figure. I believe even Canada has had some of that in their history. You also wouldn’t want to build a Capitol building in the middle of a town with existing buildings. You’d need the room for construction. In the central portion of Oklahoma you have pasture. Did you want a forest? In Oklahoma what do you find on pastures….ooooh cattle! There’s an old framed picture in the Capitol building of it after it was built. There weren’t any buildings on the north side at that time, it was an oil field with several oil rigs. I’m sure you’ll say that’s photoshopped too. I don’t think the location was picked for the cattle though. Arizona & New Mexico weren’t even states yet. We were the new kid on the block. The block also had resources that made people money. My grandparents were born here. So I heard of our history through people who lived during that time. Don’t underestimate the power of money & hubris. There’s a lot going around today.
👊🏻👏🏻
This is the Twilight Zone made real. I wonder if they just abducted all these people and made them slaves on other worlds, planets, asteroid mining operations, underground cities, etc.
Deuteronomy 6:10. ❤
I wonder if tornadoes have always a been a thing in Oklahoma??🤔 Thank you Chris!
Yes.
Looks like these photos are clean up projects.
Southern nazarene University too. Theres tunnels in okc too
The people of the old world valued life, freedom, faith in God much more than modern society
Buildings paid homage to God
Where did all the building materials from the demolished buildings go???🥵
They were sold to people who wanted to incorporate them into their homes. A friend of mind bought the entire 2nd floor of the Midwest Theater to panel his apartment.
I mean, the foundational requirements for some of these buildings is the real gave away. Pick and shovel, hammer and chisel, and horse and cart. To dig down 20 or 30 feet and lay a stone block foundation for a 5 or 6 story building. I dunno. Seems a bit overwhelming.
That dam I believe is at Lake Overholster
Not sure what he’s implying?
I grew up in Blanchard our highschool was underground. We had one stop light at the time. The downtown of the town also is underground when you go into the shops. I always wondered how such a small town had what so many towns with populations had. I am excited to watch this. I was born in Flint Michigan and when I moved to Oklahoma at 11 there were alot of jokes of being ignorant and being an "okie". I feel like there has to be more too it. Why would the narrative label people ignorant that clearly could build like everyone else? Was the dustbowl even a thing? I had a history teacher that talked about our capital being one of the last to get a dome. Bottom line if our history wasnt lied about and turned into a mystery,. I'm not sure it would be so intriguing. I would love a breakdown of ponca city and norman.
The dust bowl is worth a closer look I suspect...thanks for the comment...and for watching.
They have brought the street cars back. El Reno Ok street car still works but they only get it out for special events
Lansing michigan has just over 100,000 people it's kinda a lot of people. Compared to the 3500 village I grew up in.
I don't understanding ! Are you saying the time line is wrong ? Are you try to say that modern people were already hear before Europeans ??
Timeline is wrong..
I was raised in and around Radford Virginia. I'm in my late 50s and have always been interested in history. Radford is a tiny incorporated city and yet it also had a streetcar system in the early 20th century
You forgot to add the train station in downtown
You need to realize the history of the city to understand why it grew in the way it did. The capital was not originally in OKC. It was in Guthrie, which wasn’t centrally located in the state. When the decision was made to move the capital there was rapid growth. I’m not sure what you mean by narrative being off. Prior to the oil boom and the capital reposition you are not gonna see a lot to OKC especially in terms of population. What doesn’t make sense? The fact that they tore down old buildings that were built too fast and had bad foundations with creaky, soft floors, poor plumbing, and a total lack of electrical outlets doesn’t surprise me. These buildings were not palaces
Bad foundations and creaky floors...nothing to see here.
Fyi, the street cars are back.
About 6 minutes into the video we can clearly see a dome on top of the not even built yet state capital building. wth
OKC born and raised and i have literally no idea what this video is implying lmfao. You know Oklahoma belonged to the Indians and has had multiple oil boom/busts, right?
Oil that is, black gold. Texas tea😊
I know for a fact that it had a dome in 1997 because I used to deliver mail to the capital!!
Very interesting..
Might look into University of Oklahoma in Norman too. Not quite as ornate but questionable. Just waking to this old world building thing the last two months or so.
Welcome to the rabbithole. Lots of red brick in Norman. I thought about including it but my file was already bursting at the seams. @@shondaeddowes74
I love the construction photo of the built more with all the scaffolding and things with a beautiful sidewalk with crossing lights and all 😂 These people never counted on us ever being able to communicate all over the world. Just wondering what else they have lied about. I'm researching Eric Dubay and the flat earth theory and I gotta tell you, Neil (Disgrace Lie-son DeGrasse)Tyson backed down from a debate with Eric on the Joe (we did/didn't go to the moon) Rogan podcast and I'm definitely leaning towards Eric Dubay for sure! These videos just help show they will lie about anything!
As my friend Jacob likes to say..Question Everything Friends.
Hotdogs in a bun... Welcome to Hotel Scurvy! Yeah, that place is awesome!! Everyone say, THANKS SCUM BAGS for not razing that beauty!!
You sound like conspiracy theorist. I'm not sure what all these lies you are talking about are. Many of these buildings are still here in OKC. The leaders in the city were apparently pretty well off (probably not all that honest in many cases either). I was at the capitol dome dedication and I always heard that the original design had a dome but they ran out of money and did not build it until it was added much later I think with the original plans.
According to a web page I found.... "The old Oklahoma County Courthouse was built in 1903 and served as such until the new Courthouse in the Civic Center opened in 1937. It was severly damaged by, and was boarded up and not salvaged after, a 1944 fire and was finally demolished in 1950 or 1951. The building was located between Dewey and Walker, north of Grand (Sheridan), south of Main, southwest of the Montgomery Wards Building." FYI

Syatic in the attic is a construction expert as a builder and he says all of it was possible the way yhey say,you see any of my lunch breaks stuff?, I have seen the Auckland museum I think in nee Zealand that was opened in 1952 after the city was founded from nothing in 1840?,ehete did they get all the stuff?,by boay like what allegedly happened in Australia?,in Sydney we have 1825 state bank building and churches from same year yhat the stuff used came out of yhin aor allegedly,so much building work from 1820 to 1830 its almost unbearable from a 30 2 40 year old town,like the big bang nothing created everything, allegedly 😂👍💉💀🆗👽🐍🐲🐉👁️✋🌀🌪️👾🇱🇷🆒🔥😍📽️🎥👋🐑 Mannus on the amazon River had in 1850 a well established trolley 🚗 system even Too 🔨💍👑🦜😂🚒🥼🤸🧲🌈
Static in the attic is a useful idiot to the powers that be who want the truth to remain hidden.

Hi I’m a 60yr old Oklahoman & OKC resident living near downtown in a historical district and Im baffled!!!What narrative are you calling into question?? There are major flaws in your video…you are showing buildings from both Guthrie & OKC. They are 2 separate cities, 30 miles apart. & being Canadian, you must not be familiar with an unfortunate era called “Urban Renewal” when our city had beautiful historic buildings destroyed in order to bring new, “fresh”buildings…only to be forgotten d/t a recession in the oil industry. You are misinformed my good sir & spreading misinformation.
we must never tolerate misinformation and disinformation. trust only official sources..
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the multitude of old photos♥️
Such a negative commentary.
