- Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at the entirety of William Henry Jackson’s collection of “White City” photographs; images by the famed photographer taken during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.
Deemed the “White City” due to the white temporary facades of the buildings, Jackson’s collection spans a bulk of the Columbia Exposition, many photographs which I have never seen displayed anywhere else before. These images may reveal new details, and lead to new ideas and understanding of the intricacies of The 1893 World’s Fair. We will also briefly discuss the life and travels of William Henry Jackson.
As we look through the photographs, I will dive briefly into some of the currently accepted facts of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, including the fact that nearly every building was constructed to be temporary. We will get into all this history, some highly detailed never before seen images, and much more! Enjoy, and help the channel grow by sharing the video - thank you for watching.

I've looked at hundreds of photos from this and other worlds fairs pre-20th century and have noticed something very peculiar. Not a single trash can or piece of trash in sight. Thousands of people poured through these fairs and not a single person had any trash to throw away?
Although I believe society was a little better behaved then, as well as simply hiring lots of under paid young men to pick up trash all day.... your comment is highly notable. Those are the keys sometime... the things that are missing. We get too hung up on what is there. Ah ha!!!
Ya no food courts hot dog stands ??
All the world is a stage...
@ElFuegoDelKhanyep
@ElFuegoDelKhan you gotta have a drink station or even a drinking water fountain
Even if this World Fair was only built of temporary materials like timber and plaster, I would like to know where they found so many brilliant sculptors to make all the statues.
They all seem to be of a Michelangelo standard of craftsmanship! And some of the statues are gigantic!
And also very interesting how "temporary buildings" can have the structural strength to hold 30 meter towers, giant domes, etc.
And honestly why? This is a time where they didn't even have so much and money and just why? I saw the world's fair in a Captain America movie. Looks Nice.
And ice and snow in the winter. @@sevarbg83
@sevarbg83 I'm interested in knowing why and how the Museum of Science and Industry at 5700 S DuSable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60637, which was also built for this fair and out of the same temporary materials, is still there today and in usage.
There were a lot less computer programmers and a lot more craftsmen back then 🤦♂️
The engraved writing on the monument in the last slide: "YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU (FREE)"
AND WE'RE FREE ALRIGHT AFTER BREAKING OUT OF THE FUTURIST LIE
For being "Temporary" the buildings looked like they could last for hundreds of years. I would love to go back in time and see the fair, If I could only fine the keys for my DeLorean time machine. Jared, this was a outstanding watch from start to finish, I tip my hat to you and William Henry Jackson.
I think they probably was 100 years old or more already in 1893
@@torenyrud7567 The "wooden nickels" channel was banned from youtube, but he showed us construction photos and boxes of plans for the Columbian Expo, they did in fact build that entire world's fair city at the time, it's wood and geopolymere construction, not solid stone as it appears.
@@torenyrud7567 The buildings were already there for a long time. The patina and weathering illustrate that and any plants or trees are always full grown. There is no way the men living in Chicago in 1893 built any of that amazing architecture, the city was so well designed and could have accommodated 100's of thousands more people than what is claimed to be the population at the time.. All of the World Fairs in this era were already in those cities and were always destroyed in one way or another. Our history is all lies.
@@pharmerdavid1432 in your dreams
The construction of the buildings was literally documented and widely reported in newspapers and photographs. Do you think the people in cities where exhibits were held just didn't notice that these ancient structures had been there all along? Patina can be replicated by paint, texturing, all sorts of things. People in the past weren't stupid, you know. And there was much more respect for skilled artisans back then since mass manufacture was in its infancy. There was a real desire to put time and artistry into works that would be done on the quick and the cheap today.
Amazing what a fresh coat of paint does.
The scope of this event is staggering. Incredible, especially during the horse and buggy days. The statues alone, some of them huge, are a wonder...and in a year and half? Someone today with a crew would struggle to construct just one. The columns, everything is just Incredible. And when it was over...another convenient fire. Of course...destroy the evidence! I wonder what became of all those statues? Were they destroyed too?
Observe the people and look at the size of the doors, nothing adds up, those constructions were not made by our humanity.
They were built by 8 meter giants, they were all eliminated to make way for the new world order
Google the Tartarian lost civilization.. these were capitals… they are Old World Architecture…
The White City complete with Vanilla Skies.
How Quaint!
From what I read about this worlds fair. Chicago won the bid to host the fair between May-July 1890.
The fair covered 5.09 miles or 2.8km squared. Its was completed and the dedication ceremony was on October 21, 1892. So the narrative wants people to believe all that construction and building only took less than 2 years to make🤔🤔🤔 Yeah that makes total sense.
These photographs are absolutely amazing . Why cant we have nice things like this now.
We have nice things at home.
Nice things at home: (plywood walls and faux wood crown molding
If you play close enough attention, you can probably find at least two times a day to drop a, "this is why we can't have nice things", probably 10 if you watch news.
I recall entering Grand Central Station in Chicago, yet even more so around other enormous constructs around the city, feeling that parts of Chicago must have been built by Giants.
This was years before hearing of Tartary, looking into Giant conspiracies. Merely a gut I could not shake then, and even less so now.
Check k out 'Old World Florida"
It was from channels like these that I learned of the "1884 Cotton Centennial Exposition" held in New Orleans. I had never heard of this before - and I took Louisiana History in school!
Thats some fine craftsmanship for using only pallets, hay and paint....epic!!!
It's pretty easy to sculpt with plaster.
Bet you 2 are vaxxed if you think this is temporary you cant make temporary canals lol😅 and alot of these buildings still exist must be Hella plaster
Fantastic video absolutely loved all the high definition photos just amazing nice providing the link to be able to blow up the pictures and look closely. Wonder why the sky always seems white washed curious. Thanks so much
I wish we could of built those beautiful ancient architectural buildings.. we build boxes with slanted roofs 140 years later
As a child, when we went to The Loop in Chicago, we always went through Jackson Park. The golden statute always took my breath away and it wasn't until I was an adult that I discovered that statute was only a small representation of the real statute. If I could go anywhere back in time, I would love to go to the 1893 World's Fair.
Jarid, there's actually eight buildings that survived into our modern times. There's an article entitled "The Eight Surviving Structures of the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition 1893" that lists them all. Granted the two you mentioned are the most impressive, however, it's still worth noting the other six. Great video though and excellent photos! Love your work! ✨
12:22. Those sculptures are just pure class
More than 27 million people?? Why then are there no photos of crowd's of people at this fair. These buildings were found in our era, and not built in our era.
most of them look like painted into the photos if you look closely, like "old world photoshop" specifically the last ones
True. Human history is completely different
This channel is so very under subscribed. Beautiful history, perfect taste in music. It's like having a history lesson while relaxing. Some call this ASMNR, however, I call it a symphony. Thank you.Thumbs up. I wish you well Jarid. I do believe you will go far in this World....While hopefully following your passions. I can tell you as an older man that if you don't follow what you love, you will always regret it. Much Love and Blessings to you from above to you and your family. God Bless
indeed
Jarid's awesome!
@@hawaiiguykailua6928 yes sir
Advantages of a homogenous society 😂
Could you please tell us the sung?
Love it. Haven’t seen these pictures of the Chicago world fair yet. Incredible
Howdy ya'll!
Astonishing collection of photos! Thanks for sharing this. 👍
They say that it's just Papier-mache? Then, Papier-mache the world right quick. recycle all the city dumps into facades. Do it. Do it now. Just copy these pictures and then you should see a lot less depression in the world. I can't pick a favorite, I like the lot. I'd like to see it repeated, often, now. Maybe make homeless shelters? So many possibilities...
If only it were true. Which it's not. That's why we don't have any more beauties like these. Papier-mache? Yeah, right.
They WEREN'T built from paper mache, they were built from staff, which is an artificial stone often used for decorative work on the outsides of building. It's hard to the touch and very sturdy, but softer and easier to work with than something like concrete. As a result, the buildings would look and feel much like real stone, but they would be quick to put up due to being lightweight, and easy to demolish afterward. The structures would NOT have quickly degraded at all, but would've shown much, much more wear due to time and weather than permanent structures, and therefore weren't suitable for long-term use.
@Fauntleroy. ok. Nevermind, YOU are correct. Let this crappy world just rot away. It's a useless place to live, so keep it ugly. 💯 thanks for correcting me. I almost got hopeful. You squashed it just in time, WHEW! Can't let hope grow, things might get better and we CAN'T have that! Good man FAUNTLEROY! Saved us from hope. What a guy!
@@Fauntleroy.Staff no way, I guess you'd say the same thing about the centennial buildings in Philadelphia. Ive been there and they aren't staff . Btw that city was here long before they say it was built check out the city hall building very similar to the white city buildings. IMO
Stretching over 200m wide & 500m long, covering almost 20 football fields, the Manufactures & Liberal Art building is still fascinated me. Required twice as much steel as the Brooklyn bridge and was 4 times the size of the Roman colosseum, it could be the biggest building ever built. The source required to built and then get it demolish afterward doesn't make sense at all.
Wasnt it built in less than two years too? Thats just one building out of hundreds. How many workers would have been needed to craft all this? How many resources would you need to feed and house that many workers? They also had to terraform the land from swampland to what we see and be able to support these buildings and also build canals. How much pre-planning went into this entire thing?
I completely agree! That building is absolutely mind boggling and quite the accomplishment. For me to put it in perspective, I realized that I used to live on a 10 acre parcel (which I thought was a lot of space) and this building is 3 times bigger than that! It covered 30 acres! I have a VERY hard time believing the official story on this spectacular building.
When you visit the remaining buildings today - they are the most well-built structures you’ll ever step in. Funny how some are “temporary” while some are “real.”
That’s why they say this city was “founded on” blank - they are all “found” cities. Otherwise Washington DC, etc would not be as impressive today.
@@WildAlchemicalSpirit and there was 14 buildings similar in dimension "built" for this expo & non of them survived 🤦🏻♂️
@@RhonnyTufino I live in Asia, doesn't get any chance yet to visit of the surviving structures. But tbh they kept the least interesting one and so much "restoring" that been done over the decade has actually removed it's original form 🥺
Thank you so very much! Incredible research and photos! This will be watched more than once and studied! That is what all the Old World Cities must have looked like! (of course with variety) Perfection! Thanks again! You did us all a great service. All of you that do this are a gift to the world! This is packed with jaw dropping magnificence! {The flags and some things look so obviously out of place.}
What a crime against humanity that these controllers did! There is no way these buildings could have been built for the worlds fair! Forget the buildings just the water ways would take many years to construct with todays heavy equipment! Great video!
Jarid, I"m blown away by your work! You're better than any history teacher I'm aware of, AND you're actually sharing the history that matters, appealing to those of us who wish to go deeply into it, beyond the BS "narrative" and really dig into what's really going on. The fact that 8 buildings survive to this day (thank you to the commenter who mentioned this point) should tell us that these buildings WERE meant to last, and of course, gives compelling evidence that it would be UTTERLY impossible to construct over 200 gargantuan Greco-Roman masterpieces with statues and man-made pools, as if we were walking through ancient Rome DURING it's prime, and oh, but this was just temporary. LIES!!!! Oh my goodness, the LIES we've been fed, and so many countless people would have to be "in on it" to pull this off, and the ones who saw through it, "asylum for you!" It's bone chilling scary to think that everything we've been told is "founded" upon lies. and that our entire country complete with masterful architecture, were stolen from a Great Previous Civilization, and pawned off as our own, and then desecrated! Absolute masterpieces, destroyed to cover their lies! What a shame, it makes want to cry, or be very angry. I don't know what to do with myself. I've become obsessed with videos like yours, Jon Levi, and My LunchBreak, and yours are by far the best quality!!! Keep it up, this is absolutely extraordinary work! I've watched only three of your videos so far, as I just found you, and I'm beyond impressed. Thank you thank you thank you! Total legend. PS I'm a 20 year Southwestern Tour Guide and consider myself a historian, and with all these revelations I'm learning, I'm back to the drawing board and having to reconsider everything I thought I knew, even about the Native Americans, seeing now that some of them were "civilized" like the white men, with fine (European) clothes and homes. Just so blown away right now! Blesings to you and all you do
I had seem many photos of the chicago worlds fair but these are exquisit, thanks again for all your hard work
Great video my friend, as usual! I'd sure like to see the face on the statue with wings on a human like being. It's in front of the ship 🚢! Thank you for all you do pal! GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
Wow. What a collection. The Water Gate now makes SENSE. Thank You
Thanks for providing the linked information.If you follow the money there are no coincidences when all these great buildings all burned in the end,it’s about erasing the past which continues today.
It may have taken a yr to refurbish this ancient site.
The design and construction of these structures is well-documented. This isn't some big mystery. For whatever reason, y'all just prefer a made-up story to the mundane reality.
Jarid, thank you for great video on the 1893 World's Fair. I really enjoyed the photographs and I have a collection of some of the photographs also because I have a actual book that came from the fair of 1893 with photos of the fair. I also have some coins at commemorated the 1893 World's Fair and a spoon and an actual ticket that was never used for people to get in.
Amazing! I hope you’ve insured and protected them.
@@jmc8076they are protected from the sun damage.
Thanks Jarid! I just can't believe that this was a World's Fair. Where are all the people? I attended Expo 67 in Montreal, and I can tell you, it was crowded, and looked nothing like this World's Fair. These buildings did not look temporary. 🥰
He just didn't show any pictures of the crowds.
Excellent video. Thank you. Those buildings could not held up to foot traffic of a million people nor could some of those structures have the load baring capacity if those buildings were "temporary" and made out of balsa wood and papier māché. They also would not have held up in the humidity of Chicago or around all of that water.
You must have seen photos of the St Louis fair as well...
These buildings were all from past civilizations NOT built in a year or two ..All of his-story is a big long lie..
2 Man horse and buggy crews, wow
700,000 visitors on big day, overall millions came, yet only fifty people max in any photo. Remains after mud flood with a few inserted things by organizers of world trade fair to delude media & attendees. Any night photos available showing lighting system?
@@zoneundertop Yes, there are about five or six night photos in a photo book that I have from the fair. SHEPP’S WORLD’S FAIR PHOTOGRAPHED 1893 COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. It has about 250 photos more more with 500 pages. There aren't very many people in the night photos either.
They weren't made out of balsa wood and paper mache. They were steel framed buildings with a decorative covering of staff, and you can see in some photos that it was beginning to fall off towards the end of the fair, exposing the lath underneath.
Wow man epic presentation. I’ve only seen one or two photos of this fair, and these are all super high-quality. Appreciate your work! Its kind of funny how stone burns isn’t it
Jarid, God bless you my friend. You're saving true history from oblivion by giving us access to these photos. When it comes to determining the accuracy of the story of Chicago Fair 1893 and all the other similar World Fairs in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it's stretched way too thin and full of holes. I don't believe it for a second to be what they tell us. We're supposed to believe that this was all done immediately after the great Chicago fire. How realistic is that to begin with? Not to mention the number of workers, qualified workers, who would do all this incredible artistic detail. So all this was done in a couple of years, never before, and never again? What is the difference in mankind before & after that enabled this work of art and engineering to be done then and never again? What exactly was lost in us? Try as they might, modern historians will never give you a good answer. So all this nonsense narrative doesn't make a lick of sense under proper scrutiny. I'm just gonna stop at that, cause it's too much of a topic. Thank you again Jarid for all you do.
Technology that we would consider mundane was very new and absolutely mind-blowing then. I'm talking about things like steam-powered machines and electric lights. People who could make the trip would come from far and wide to see these marvels, and enterprising individuals knew how much money could be made by selling tickets (and concessions) at such exhibitions. Governments also wanted to do get in on the act, to illustrate the breakthroughs originating within their borders. So, something like this could be done today, if there was interest. The closest thing is probably something like Epcot. But the world has moved on. Technology is everyday and new inventions are proprietary, hidden behind closed doors until they're ready to be sold to the masses. I'd say the reason you don't see events like this is because modern capitalism just wouldn't support it in the same way, not because society has declined, and not because people have lost their sense of wonder.
@@Fauntleroy. we're not just talking about what is generally known as technology here. I see you're one of those who come to this channels with zero desire to learn something new which might seriously clash with what you think you know. There is ample evidence of previous civilizations and their far superior abilities., and understanding of the world. If you find that unacceptable, I'm afraid there can be no dialogue between us.
It's kind of like the moon landing . We just did it a handful of times then lost the tech and forgot how we did it.
@@jonwall8448 yeah, kinda like everything we do.
Had no idea he took photos of American Indians . . would LOVE to see those photos too. Thank you for your hard work!
That's a nice shot @ 21:04 it gives a good perspective of how vast the city was.
And did everyone wear the same clothes damn? @22:38

More photos on Revibes with closeups to see clothes.
Wow, I can see different styles of different countries. The shear scale and amount of work, not to mention quality, will never happen today.
those angels and hybrid people with fish tails are interesting in the statues
Very Informative and researched video. When I was about 12 years old (1954),I bought a guidebook to the Columbian expo at a rummage sale for 35 cents. It was pretty beat up, but I read that thing thru about 6 times. It made a lasting Impression on me, and I'm always interested in learning more about this epic event. I sure wish I could have that book back now.
This upload and group of photos was more alarming than any information I have seen in the last 30 videos on the topic of old world. I've made a few comments below, but to summarize again... water reflections, shadow alignment, apparent high level detail in wide focus - but some background items look penciled in, odd angles of reflection, a tree on shoreline looking like its the middle of winter - and at the same time some healthy agave looking plant in alternate photo... and many more things. I am really taking my time going through the wiki archive as it is VERY interesting.
The vanilla sky every time... in some of these images it seems as if I can see what's being blurred out. It's a MASSIVE, giant city everywhere. No wonder they needed so many insane asylums. Imagine trying to tell people now, "okay, your cities are just temporary, we're going to have a fair and then burn everything down. " what?!?! And if you objected you'd get locked up and your children would be put on orphan trains.
Yes! Howdie Micoski just covered some of this.
The details that stand out to me , besides the obvious advanced architectural engineering, is the power it would take for lighting and air…without one power line. There are no poles, no wires, no generators or visible power source, so do we just ignore it? 🤷🏽♂️
The photo clarity for that time period is exquisite!
@18:00 CLEARLY NOT THE SAME ARTISTS! Very crude 'cowboy and Indian' statues! Certainly weren't in the prior construction era, either, as never before depicted. Just created to blend in that time period narrative.
What a beautiful city..from the buildings to the streets , statues and all the detailing....such a loss...and who can choose one picture,why that's like a bag of good potatoe chips you can't just eat one .lol ..nice work 😊
Fifty million dollars would not build any single structure you have shown us today! Thank you. This is a very interesting channel.
That's not true at all! Construction like this is cheap because you would use inexpensive and lightweight, malleable materials that can still be used to create beautiful shapes and designs.
@Fauntleroy. it typically costs around 8 million dollars for a city to turn an intersection into a roundabout. Even if you made these structures out of paper mache, you still incur massive labor costs and sight preparation. Each of these sculptures would take months to create. They are not cast as no two are alike. You would need specialized craftsmen just to pull the simplest of the moldings on these structures out of plaster. Since all these buildings went up at once, you would have to import, house and feed the army of skilled labor necessary to assemble even the simplest of these structures. No evidence exists that this was done. Let's not forget these buildings were planned and built at the same time as the city of Chicago was being rebuilt from the great fire.
Speaking of planning, each of these structures required architects, engineers and draftsmen working at breakneck speeds in order just to manage these builds. And none of this, so far, addresses the costs to manage the facilitate the supply chain of raw materials like window glass and steel infrastructure.
I'm not in any way suggesting we do not have the skills or abilities to construct these buildings, plazas and reflection pools, I'm simply saying there is no way the bottom line costs of these buildings would be any where near fifty million dollars, regardless of the material used.
Thank you 🙏
I love it!! Thank you~🤩
Thanks for sharing these. Good find man. The sheer size and scope of virtually every building and structure seems absolutely massive. And then to consider the "fact" that 2 years before this all of the grounds were nothing but a watery swamp marsh. I'm sorry but no f'n way. I'm new to this subject. I'm dumb founded. These pictures incredible . Absolutely unbelievable, literally.
Incredible. What the heck is our real story?
The only New thing for them was spray painting. Made everything covered in White. Brilliant.
It would be very interesting to know exactly how the building procedure were done fore these buildings
It was well-documented. I believe books were written on the subject. They simply used lightweight materials and popular building styles of the day.
@@Fauntleroy. Never Ever
Amazing! We had been lied to all our lives! They destroyed, or tried to destroy everything, kept us in dark!
Thank you for your hard work!
This is one of your best videos. Your narration and oratory skills are improving nicely.
And also I love hearing about Chicago, having been born and raised there.
Great video. There’s more stunning images of 1892/93 Chicago WF “Construction”. Just seems almost impossible at that time for them to get that whole white city up in a year or even year plus
Repurposed n refurbished ancient buildings...
It might seem impossible to us, but they did it, and it only seems impossible because we underestimate the people of the past. There was an exhibition like this in my own home city (Omaha). The buildings were only intended to last a season. They used some crappy, marshy ground that nobody wanted, where they could more easily dig a lagoon for gondola rides. The speed and beauty of the project is part of why it's so amazing. We still have fragments of many of the buildings; beautiful to look at, but not strong enough to survive decades of extreme heat and cold like you find in Nebraska. There's a public park on the spot today.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Besides the amazing architecture and statues that look cast in concrete or GOP. The fire boat also piques my interest. It looks around 40 feet. As well as having the steam power for propulsion it can also run 4 nozzle lines at that pressure?
You read my mind😂 Just this morning I was thinking about the Chicago World Fair and thinking about the dates in comparison to Civil War, wondering, you know, how a divided country could so quickly recover economically as well as socially AND pull together such an incredible accomplishment....hmmm
Why is this suspicious to you? There was very little war damage to the states in the north, which were the major industrial sector, and where events like this were held.
@@Fauntleroy. To wonder about such things is not unreasonable. A Quick Google search reveals that even the official narrative supports open minded questions. For starters, the U.S. population was 50 million at the time and "The Civil War (1861-1865) alone is estimated to have cost $5.2 billion when it ended and government debt skyrocketed from $65 million to $2.6 billion. Post-Civil War inflation along with economic disturbance from Europe's financial struggles contributed to the vulnerable economic climate of the late 19th century." The social tensions and division caused by Civil War were still very much present 100 years later.
Bro, we can't even build one of these buildings in two years today with our pickups, electric saws, drills, concrete mixers, online communication tools, etc....
Yet you think horse and buggy people cranked out all of these buildings within a couple of years using shovels and chisels? Tell me what strain you're smoking, bro.. 😂
Why are there no reflections of the flags in the water? Is this an issue of exposure time again?
Not to mention flags going in different directions.
The foundations alone on these buildings would've taken years to lay ,these buildings are massive,let alone the ornate designs , massive statues,water features ,also massive,no way they built this in 2 years,and than demolished it ?
This was the ancient world of our ancestors, which were destroyed due to an event. The buildings were preserved and when the "new settlers" discovered the old buildings, they had to be destroyed as part of the new world order because they did not fit into history. These world exhibitions were used worldwide to then destroy the buildings!! There are still many of the old buildings in Germany that are simply incredible. Take a look at “This is Germany”.
Soooo dope…
Impressive!
Amazing
beautifull pictures
Sad, all our histories are bogus
He who controls the past, controls the future.
A result of peak corruption we live in, Revolution must happen now or soon.
All of it we’ve literally been programmed
That's not true at all. History contains many mysteries, sure, but recent history like this is well-documented through accounts, newspapers, photographs, maps, and more. We have an excellent understanding of the era. People of that time were still alive into the 1950s, 1960s, etc. This isn't some ancient age where we can only make guesses.

@@VijaySuryaAditya Well I was strictly going by the photographs! Didn't know there was more beyond that area.
I love video....thank you......
I just went to the Toronto exposition yesterday
The buildings are unreal
Bravo!
I used to live in Poland springs, Maine from 1993 to 1995 and the famous water company located there had an exihibit.
Beautiful.
It's very interesting that during the late 1800s winter seasons were brutal and the presence of vast abundance of marsh land during that time. Why are there no photos of how concrete was poured to form the foundation of these massive building structures.
Thank you Jarid for these amazing photos. I wonder: If more than 700,000 people attended this fair, why can't we see more people in photographs? Where did all the material from the "distraction" go? How were they transported?
Other images do show more. Also fair grounds were 600-700 acres (varies by source) so ~700,000 people spread out/in side on highest day prob hard to capture on film at time. FWIW ~1,000 humans per acre (foot ball field is ~1.2 acres and 22 players total on field plus others.)
The main stream narrative of the city of Chilaga / Chicago is classic of the bs that the evil oppressors want us to believe! My heart sings a sad song for all those beautiful people that built cities of the Tartarian era, also one of joy for the beauty they shared. We still have some of their work to admire ,but one must look for it. Love you all💖💖
The ship and gondola on the second last look like painted ... also the last: a phrygian cap on one of the sticks and whats that ball with the eagle ... or is it a phoenix?
That ball is found throughout the world usually on top of structures. I beleive it may represent that He who knows how to use it's contents, can fly away from the world like a bird and save himself. I think it's content may be mercury and it's round vial tungsten.
Wow!!!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make this :)
You should go visit the Parthenon at Centennial Park in Nashville.
Oh yea, I remember seeing that when I was there years ago. Wikipedia says it was built in 1897 (only one year construction?) "Originally built of plaster, wood, and brick, the Parthenon was not intended to be permanent, but the cost of demolishing the structure combined with its popularity with residents and visitors alike resulted in it being left standing after the Exposition. Within the next 20 years, weather had caused deterioration of the landmark; it was then rebuilt on the same foundations, in concrete, in a project that started in 1920; the exterior was completed in 1925 and the interior in 1931. Local architect Russell Hart was hired for the reconstruction." I'm sure there are no photos of construction, and I uh... don't think that explanation is very believable.
Could you imagine being there
Oh wow this is super new you just uploaded. I just heard about this from a Dane Calloway vid. Fascinating stuff
This is some seriously wild shit.😢
When the City was beautiful.............dang!
I have been trying to wrap my head around this topic for a long time. Nothing about it seems believable. I mean the nuts and bolts of it all. Then on the other hand, a few years later the St Louis world's fair all seems like something while incredible still doable. I have really dissected the particulars and time after time, almost nothing adds up for that particular time and place in history. I would almost compare it to the Mandela effect but yet I can't explain how or why I draw that comparison. My own theories are a shot in the nowhere land and even those theories don't add up. fascinating! thanks for doing this video
Well, we can rest easy re the '39 / ''40 one in San Francisco, as we've plenty of construction photographs AND the plans still.
Whew!!
That notwithstanding, it WAS a weird one in certain ways but quite wonderful, it serving as a perfect era marker between Before World and the start of After.
San Fran -- "The Paris of the West" as it was. Is it to ever be again?
What they did is absolutely breathtaking and you can see how much love and artistry, and pride, went into it. But there was nothing magical or mysterious. People are capable of extraordinary things. It was a time of tremendous national pride after the war, and also of tremendous optimism about technological progress. People felt good, they wanted to show off what they could do, and anyone who could make the trip wanted to come and see it.
great video dose anybody know what the name of the piano music is please
It’s by Good Lander, he titled it “Jarid’s Song” but I’m not sure if he has uploaded the full song anywhere online. I could certainly try to be in touch with him and ask him to upload it for you.
Crazy to think H.H. Holmes visited the fair
The buildings - antiqua-tech-mud-flood-types (like governmental buildings such as the US capital, Mormon Tabernacle, and majestic buildings in Russia) were worldwide, even in jungle areas. The Elites did another reset and needed to destroy them, such as those in Dresden Germany. Columbus didn't discover an uninhabited America, there were the natives AND... Destroy the older populace, have a war, destroy evidence of earlier civilizations, rewrite history, and you have a reset. It's all about control.
Who are the AMERICANS 🙄....... because native americans no nothing about this at all🤭
yes maybe a couple million natives total in number, the real original inhabitants were the giants, and its possible they had to be defeated in order to put another empire on top of it. In any case they were not as numerous or as strong as before the flood. The natives knew about the giants and were terrified of them - the 5 finger 'how' was to identify you at a distance as not being a giant, that would have had 6 fingers.
@@togowack So🤔....why don't they know what about the AMERICAN GOLD STANDARD 🤔.....or BUILDINGS🙄.....and this happened a hundred years ago 🤭
Y'all are just making shit up at this point.
The White City?
Hi Jarid. At 19:42 that small globe or sphere the statue is holding aloft--
A comment I can't find now but saved maybe was deleted, from a 'Simon Green' to mudflooder Paul Cook in 'Well Well Well what is going on here??':
"Hey Paul,
I am watching a few of your videos and my partner is Lithuanian, she ran a theatre school there for 25 years and when she was young she knew a very old lady who could remember going to church as a small girl with her mother, and they would take a metal sphere to church every sunday, and place it at the alter for the duration of the meeting along with everyone elses, and there was a metal floor in the church and big metal rods extending from that floor up in to the steeple, the sphere would charge, and that would supply electricity to the home for a week. As you speculate, that spshere would sit in the fire place hooked up somehow. The whole set up was also used for healing!..."
Jarid, have many questioned the statues and their faces. The buildings here in Ballarat Victoria Australia have many faces on them and they look very realistic, almost like they were actual people. And so I wonder if it is/was the artists intention to immortalise famous people of their time, or it was a culture not known to Chicago or America.
I've been subscribed and following this site for a couple years. The phptos presented are amazing, but I have to ask: Is this a computer-generated voice software? I assume it is, but just want verification.
Gosh, I don't think so.
Jarid sounds presently just as he did years ago in his earlier opuses.
No. It's just his voice. While unique, I enjoy and appreciate it because so much research is put in! Jarid is the history teacher I wish I had!
I wonder what these huge buildings were used for. Did they house the entire town?
9:30 and 23:12 are very convincingly painted Gondola........Photos never lie............
Are there any photos available from the day after the fire?
I have a video on the topic linked in the “about” section of this video, it’s a pretty decent showcase of the aftermath of the Chicago Fire, with most photographs taken dated to the days directly after the fire (some the next day), the damage is overwhelming.
That was the Chicago fire like 20 years before the fair
All this was planned, terraformed, landscaped, and built in 18 months through 2 Chicago winters in 1893 with horse and buggies - fat chance!
It was, though. The construction was well documented and widely reported. Just because it impresses you doesn't mean that people aren't up to it. People can do damn near anything.
@@Fauntleroy. No it wasn't. There is literally no construction documentation at all. You wanna believe that there was but the proof is in the pudding. Show me. I've looked. It doesn't exist.
First thing I have always noticed with the photographs taken at the 19th century World Fairs, Expositions and Exhibitions is the photos themselves.
We are always told that the cameras in the 19th century required long exposure times, by 1888 the exposure time had been dramatically reduced, however, the photos in this event from 1893 show flowing water and moving people clearly, so they must have been using a camera which is similar to those from the 20th century, an instant exposure one, which gives crystal clear images.
My next issue is the weathering that can clearly be seen on some of the buildings and bulastrades in some of the photos, particularly evident in the photo at 20:38, the bulastrade, which not only looks very substantial and not just plaster and paint, also the planters, all look considerably weathered.
How could this much weathering have been evident if they were only just built and then photographed within a short time span?
Then we have the issue with all the electricity required to light the buildings, both internally and externally, this would have required extra energy being created where, what power station did they build for this and all the cabling that would be required, hooked up to what, where, how?
And finally, anyone who has had a pond with a small stream attached installed will tell you that to ensure that the water is pumped and down from the pond along the stream and then back to the pond takes time and effort with, again, a power source.
Yet, in these fairs and expos there are fountains galore, all spewing the water in a synchronised dance, so that would have required a huge undertaking of pipework, ensuring that the correct gradients were met to create the spectacle AND the power source to pump the water in the first place.
Some of the constructions can be seen to be temporary, but it would appear that some were already in situ, perhaps damaged and then repaired, but this is borne out in all the buildings that were retained after the events, no way a temporary plaster and wood building can withstand 100+ years and I, personally, don't believe for a second that they went to all the trouble to "rebuild" those that remained, that makes little to no sense whatsoever!
All that splendour and the public get to sit on crappy wooden benches!
One thing to remember is that the Statue of Liberty took from 1881 to 1884 to construct, just the statue, 3 years for one statue, yet we're expected to believe that these people could create all of this within such short and, quite frankly, ridiculous, time frames?!?
Yes, you are expected to believe it, because it's what happened. This may astonish you, but people in the 19th century were not stupid. Fountains and decorative water features have literally been in use for thousands of years--they aren't a modern invention. There were already mechanisms in this day to create electric light without modern power sources. Just think about early cars, which had to be warmed-up by turning a crank before they could operate. People 150 years ago already understood these principles well. I'm sorry, but your comment is just Argument from Incredulity; you personally don't understand how this was done, so rather than learn about it, you jump to the conclusion that it must all be a lie. That's absurd. Your comment about the Statue of Liberty is a great example AGAINST your argument. The statue was far more complex than anything at the exhibition, yet it was completed in only three years.
@@Fauntleroy. I had a porch and small stream with pond installed a few years ago, took 8 men nearly 3 months in total with modern day power tools.
To build a house today a rough rule of thumb is 5 man days per square metre or 7.5 months for 2 skilled men to build a house 80m2.
I would employ the guys which desinged and built the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 any day, what they did is miraculous!
NO DEFINITIVE construction date given for Chicago, just stated as 1891 (so to be fair we’ll say 1st January 1891).
Opening date: 1st May 1893
All works to be completed in just 28 months, of which 9.5 months would have been in the snowy winter period, ground frozen and/or water logged, leaving 18.5 months of, HOPEFULLY, good dry, non windy/wet weather!
(In Chicago the snowy period is 3.5 months from beginning of December to mid March, so Jan 1891 to mid March = 2.5 and Dec 1891 to mid March 1892 = 3.5 and Dec 1892 to mid March 1893 =3.5 - TOTAL snowy period 9.5 months)
Works included site design, surveying, site clearance and levelling, subway digging, dredging, boring and filling for waterways and lagoons, not forgetting sewage disposal, pipework for all waterways and fountains (specialised landscaping to allow all fountains to perform in unison), pile driving, steel frameworks, Ferris wheel, scaffolding erection and removal, building construction and decoration, pathways with electrical supply for lamp posts, bridges, creation of statues and plaster adornments, turfing and plantings etc.
Population Chicago 1890 - 1,099,850
40,000 employees
690 acres, including area along the city’s south lakefront area
150 buildings (14 main buildings)-total floor space of 63 million square feet
Subway total length 6,195ft (1,888m)
75 million board feet of lumber
18,000 tons of iron and steel
120,000 incandescent lights
Average of 58 people per acre
1888 - Chicago first power station (serving an area bounded by Harrison Street, Market Street, and Water Street (both now Wacker Drive), and Michigan Avenue)
1892 - Chicago Edison's load had grown to 3,200 kilowatts, the full capacity of its generating station.
100 kW - enough for 1200 incandescent lights
Subway - work began 1st February 1892 - expected completion date 15th April 1892 but severely delayed due to frozen/waterlogged ground - wiring subway began February 1893 - took 6 weeks (about April 1893)
The wiring of the subway required 4,000 of the special two-wire insulators and 20,000 of the regular single glass insulators. The subway contained 25 2-10 miles of power, 28 7-10 miles of incandescent and 51 miles of arc wires, making a total of 104 5-10 miles of wire for lighting and power transmission. Besides these were telephone and telegraph cables, fire alarms and police signal wires.
The subway was lighted with 225 110-volt 16-c.p. Edison incandescent lamps placed at distances of about 30 feet apart throughout the entire length. The lamps were placed five in series and supplied with current from the 500-volt power circuit.
Wires that ran north from the Fisheries building were carried from the subway into a duct trunk line that ran east to the Intramural railroad and thence north, following the road line around the Montana State building. This trunk line was 2,250 feet long and contained 15,270 feet of pump logs.
For the convenience of drainage, the profile of the floor of the subway was arranged so that all water that might collect would flow to four points, namely, north of Machinery Hall, south of the Electricity building, and west end of the north railroad bridge and north center of Manufactures building. At the bridge, an opening was made into the lagoon so the water would flow out, but marine pumps were installed at the other three places, and the water was pumped to the nearest catch basin. In this way, the subway was kept comparatively dry except on one or two occasions when a water pipe burst, completely flooding everything. -

These people weren't super humans, they were no different to todays workmen and the work they did required a lot of fairly skilled work.
The weathering doesn't happen in just 2-3 years, the substatial bulastrade at 1st/2nd floor height did not appear temporary and supposedly 2 of the "temporary" buildings are still standing today!
These workers were amazing, if not incredibly unbelievable!
@@kateemma-wow you hit that out the park the person trying to justify how it happened can't respond that was a surgical strike well said! I believe you there no way this city was built in 2 yrs. Imo it was probably 300 to 500 years old when found they just cleaned it up. 🙂
@@jwick1215 Thank you for the kind words and yes, totally agree with you, an old city of some age cleaned up and whitewashed (literally) for the exhibition.
Did you see the hundred plus year old saguaro cactuses in front of the building in the beginning?
Found something pretty funny but en-lightning. A pic of the "Interior of the Electricity Building" there is a display painted with "egyptians" hanging power lines on power poles! got a chuckle!!
How u get photos wot let me guess you no I jnow
The Bible story regarding the wedding feast where fine wines were served and the end of which Jesus' wine was offered - the simplest, most common elemental resource water was turned into wine. At which, the bridegroom said, it was the best of all and it was served last.
Nebuchadnezzar II's dream told to Daniel refers to the power and strength of each successive age or kingdom. We are told Gold at the head was the mightiest, the pinnacle of the glory being the head adorned with jewels and crowns and it COVERED THE EARTH COMPLETELY. I think of the massive mountains that have melted, the massive trees that covered the earth (Redwoods being the little children of those trees) and giants who lived tens of thousands of years (fallen offspring). Those gold pavillions in Japan, resting upon the MASSIVE stones of the preceding golden age(s)/golden kingdom(s) which were ONE.
Each age attempted to reclaim the glory of the previous, but the way God has made it is - the superior precedes the inferior. The inferior is jealous of the past, but can never attain to it again. There were mixtures of societies over time, more diverse, less unified nations -- rather than a single umbrella as under the Golden Age/Golden Kingdom(s). These were unified, the minds of men were of a higher quality, and had the materials which God gave the earth to make it so.
In our time, the earth doesn't give us the material for fine minds, fine architecture, even.Everything is far more inferior, including attention and focus of intellect. Instead, the LAST kingdom is Iron and Clay, unable to mix. The vast underground military government is seperate from us above ground who do not know the past(trillion dollar budgets vanish to support the Iron part), who do not know the ways of the earlier people, we are given things but not truly initiated into understanding our place. As clay, or water, we suffer the harshest conditions from the sense of how our position in time is disadvantaged greatly, injustice prospers more so than in other times(this is up for dispute I'm sure), our minds suffer exceeding ailments and sinfulness is rife in the soil of the earth.
It is from this material that Jesus it is said, makes the best wine that the bridgegroom treasures above the rest of the ages that preceded which had superior makeup in terms of resource and life qualities.
While we may think we are in a progressed age, are we not. Our rulers never deliver on promises, and there is never any true progress or refinement of societies - and we know it is from the highest authorities in the land that the whole of the land takes example from. Instead, we see de-progression in all things like a sludge that oozes, everything is lax, weak, and the best of our leaders on the earth are a mockery (just think, even as a populous leader, Donald Trump walks dishonorably) and the rest, well you know about all of these, from WEF leaders, IMF and even the merchant billionaires are shameful and disgrace seems to crown the least refined Age, or as the most base, least valued building material. Clay.
Anyone else think it possible that the recent discovery of these photos speak to (for lack of a better term) the Mandela effect.? The quality of these photos for the time prriod seems amazing, no.? Why would someone whos professional life mission is creating , publishing, and cataloging images for public comsumption keep this amazing collection more or less to himself? I need to learn more.
