St. Louis-Old-World Capital City

#oldworld #tartaria #stlouis

An exploration into the Mississippi River Valley city of St. Louis. We continue the city explorations going back west to St. Louis. This city is acknowledged by the mainstream to have been the location of a previous civilization. What incredible structures and unique accounts await in this beautiful city once called Mound City and now the Gateway to the West, yet it feels like an Old-World capital city.

I worked as a fireman for 5 years, and took more, than the required classes, during my continuing education, after passing the international citification exams, while I was employed. I can tell you, without a doubt, that brick and stone buildings, like the ones in the pictures, could not catch and burn in such a fashion. These structures, the brick and stone buildings, all burn, from the inside out, and they don't fall down, in a heap of rubble. Not the brick framed ones. They never catch fire, from a hot ember from another source. Brick and glass, are just not flammable. Thanks for sharing this. It gets frustrating, listening to people, for my whole life, talk about great fires in history, and never question the stupidity of the larger story. I am glad you are doing this kind of work. Great job here.

I grew up in st Louis and didn't realize it til watching your rome of the West video that the whole city is filled with large grand buildings from downtown to the city limits. The houses all over the city are huge and we had quite a few millionaire rows including the neighborhood I grew up in the ville. All the houses were almost mansions even though they were all run down by the 90s.

As a native St. Louisan, I would recommend looking up the history of coal use here. A lot of the fogginess in the photos is due to coal dust from soft Illinois coal that was used here EVERYWHERE until about 1940 when it was banned. That's part of what ages the concrete, limestone and granite features on many of the buildings here. When City Hall was sandblasted to clean it, the people were stunned to see the pink limestone that surrounded the first floor. Also, when it comes to bricks, Dogtown was a HUGE brick manufacturing center. That's where the big clay pits and brick ovens were which is part of why the streets were paved with them. Some streets on the south side still are brick.

As for the World's Fair, or the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, there are structures remaining from it. The Art Museum, the flight cage at the zoo, and, believe it or not, the quadrangle buildings of Washington University including Brookings Hall. Those were the executive offices. A lot of it was Plaster of Paris, and would not have survived.

There's a lot here, yes. And a lot has been lost in the name of modernization.

There is without a doubt a reoccurring theme throughout the entire US, during the period of 1870 until 1890, and this channel does an excellent job of displaying so!

Since I am from Europe I am used to these buildings everywhere and yet I often wonder. It always seemed weird to me there was nothing like it in America. Why all over the planet constructions were build but not in America. This whole goldrush and people from Europe going over to America to find their fortune was weird! So I guess the skilled laborers that go over the ocean took their skills with them. They could have made those, and maybe the used what was there and just redo it. BUt still I have all question marks for years now. The whole America story is weird! I do know that over 100 years ago there were no safety rules, lots of people died constructing these buildings over here. The was only rich or poor. Almost nothing in between then people with a trade. My German family still have their 400 year old house in posession in a small medieval town. I am from a stone mason family, they build it themselves, I even have all my ancestors in the family bible. But this building is nowhere near the xxxl buildings that look they belong in Rome. The good news is that more and more people are questioning the whole thing. Thanx for the vid, love St. Louis.

North of St Louis, in Pike County Missouri, is a Very large mound complex with a serpent mound earthwork right where the Illinois and Mississippi rivers meet. South of St Louis is an ancient granite mine and region with many megaliths and monoliths no one speaks of except the locals. Much to learn around here

Oddly enough, the 1890 U.S. Census was destroyed in a fire.

I think the truth is that the lost culture is our own. We built these things in the past and the reason nothing is being built like this anymore is because it’s not profitable to large corporations. We’re so used to corporations being greedy and selling us inferior products that construction techniques from 100 years ago seem more advanced

I live in the St. Louis area and it is amazing for old world exploration. I am planning on getting some footage of the Bellefontaine cemetery soon. It is filled with amazing old worldish monuments.

A few years ago I was volunteering at a dig within the Cahokia mounds complex. The archeologist I was working with told me they had recently found remains of a type very different from the native Americans that inhabited the area in the 1800’s. He said the remains had red hair and dna testing led them to think they were of a Northern European or Scandinavian origin. Also there were copper alloy weapons nearby and everything was dated to 100s of years before any Native American remains. He also told me they found evidence of a copper smelting facility that they had no explanation other than the native Americans didn’t build but rather found the complex and decided to settle there

In 1869 the US Government considered moving the US capitol to St. Louis, which was the 4th largest US city at the time. A resolution in the House failed by 20 votes.

Jacque Cousteau went to the bottom of Lake Tahoe and said the world is not ready to know. Perfectly preserved Chinese men chained together. (he told one other man before his death) The builders of the transcontinental railroad DID NOT BUILD IT! They unburied it and had to be silenced. Love this stuff.

The St. Louis city museum, the spaghetti factory, the union hotel, and the Fox theater are some of the most beautiful and bizarre buildings in St. Louis. Tons of history there and also this totally breathtaking architecture

[Chuck]

Wait...are you saying we didn't have the technology to build these buildings in the late 19th century?

Louisville and St. Louis are both named after kings of France, but not the same king. Louisville is named for Louis XIV. St. Louis is named for Louis IX, the only French King to be made a Catholic saint.

[DHunt]

hell yea, Cahokia Mounds is just down the street from me, the Mississippian culture was so cool.

Thank you for the Hearst Castle video again too.! There is something special also in St. Louis! It can be felt. Baltimore etc.Amazing mysteries out there. Thanks for your videos. All of you that work hard to research and share are priceless.! (and are talented in presenting such informative and entertaining videos) You compliment each other.

"Damn it, Jimmy! If it walks like a castle, and talks like a castle, it's a frikkin' castle!"

Another one I enjoyed a lot, obviously you really appreciate Saint Louis, and there is a lot to appreciate. Thank you again for your efforts.

I'm really not sure which one of all these construction photo gems is the most SUSPEESHUS. But I think I'm having the danger foot gentleman dancing up high on the scaffolding and the huge-assest Corinthian column in the world vying for No.1. It's fascinating that there is always some genius in the comments to oh so wisely explain away (as opposed to actually explaining) all the holes and abnormalities and inconsistencies in the narrative. And they accuse you that you only see what you wanna see, not what is actually there. Pathetic again. Must be an easy life, always believing what you're told and explaining away anything that might stick out. Oh well. Never mind them.

I wonder if we're gonna see in our lifetime the actual solution/answers to the question of origin of World Fairs, esp. S. Louis and Chicago. Paris, France was also pretty impressive. C'est magnifique. The main symptom of ignoring reality in this branch of research is when people see things consistently repeating throughout the world for centuries and they decide to explain away with some cock-and-bull story or just ignore it because at the end of the day, who's got the time? We've got real business to do. Dear God.

Please keep it up, we can't get enough. I'm sure S. Louis will be high up on the list when it comes to revisiting in due course.

I've been waiting for this video, I went to Saint Louis for a short trip and stayed in the Magnolia Hotel, astounding sights

[seagoddess]

America is the true old world. All of the grandiose beautiful architecture you see was built by giants. St. Louis is really Paris. Which is why it's my hometown.😎
