Marble House

Join me as I take a virtual walk through Marble House, one of the many gilded era Vanderbilt mansions. Located in Newport, Rhode Island, we'll take a look at the origins of this building and the characters involved.

Awesome! I really appreciate you very much thank you for the shout out and this was a good video I did not know about all the older stone work that's crazy. <3 I shared!

Work that cannot be replicated today .

[trynafindpeaceofmind]

How crazy to walk inside and among buildings that were not made by humans it is an extremely overwhelming thought

[gafengla]

What a superb thirteen minutes - delightful to watch!!!

When entering the one upper floor room just before the curved marble wall edge... The blue ceiling with the golden chandelier in the middle, it resembles the all seeing eye to me. 🧐

I loved this video. You really opened my eyes. When I was 17 in 1988 I went to Europe and my favorite thing was the Palace of Versailles. Um...this basically is a scaled down Palace of Versailles. I'm so with you - this was built in 4 years? By whom? Who installs marble columns and gilded trim and ornate palace-worthy carved ceilings? Nothing about this makes sense. I didn't question Versailles because Louis was a king and also I was a teenager. Did you see the painting over the fireplace? I think that may actually BE Louis XIV! Why is an American businessman paying homage to royalty? Lastly, what do YOU think the fireplaces were? Were they electrically charged radiant heat producers? This video is, to me, a Masterpiece of critical thinking. Wow. William

As a finish carpenter I don't deal too much with blueprints ( I check the light switch to determine left or right hand door swing). Blueprints for the really big private homes can be close to 1/2 inch thick and can take the architect weeks or even months to finalize. Yet, some of these mansions are built in less time than it would take to draw up the plans!

Eyebrows stayed all the way up. 😧😯Amazing work. No words can explain the feeling you get, taking that tour. I just, don’t even know. Amazing. Makes me think, King Solomon had a ring, to control demons. He used them to build. They been around, never dying, only going knowage and craft skills.. maybe the elite builders had that same trick somehow. I don’t think the hands of man, assembled this. Great job and narration. Your a cool dude. Have a blessed day.

I love the fireplaces and how they were not "fireplaces" this is a beauty...I hope someone goes to the tile shop! Scrambled egg brain! Loved this so much!

[justinamontgomery]

I wonder what kind of house the architect lived in? Where are their amazing would they not be filthy rich as well? And the builders?

[jkm]

Great content and presentation, thank you. A thought that just occurred to me is how these architects produced so many glorious buildings without the help of computers!

And these and these are the personal mansions there's buildings like the Sistine Chapel & such that are a hundred ft. Tall with this kind of craftsmanship all the way up into intricate multiple domed ceiling ports thru out with multiple hand-painted murals...these were a totally different type of civilization than who we are lead to believe...It's easy to see once you lift your head to see what is right in front of you ...the problem is everyone has there head down watching their feet while they trudge around in a daze.

The shot from the back is The Elms not Marble house.

The man in the painting at the end is throwing up his brotherhood sign.

I'm just not sure the architects given credit for such works, were even involved in the construction. I'd even guess that there is indeed a problem with the narrative...right from the get go.
great video...and yes, the recent vid by Mind Unveiled is a valuable resource.
Thank you.

I've been there a few times. I actually live in Lenoir, NC, its about 1 hr from Ashville. I went when I was about 13 and a couple more times later on in life. The last 2, my best friend and I got hammered at the restaurant and made a fool of ourselves on the walk thru of the house. It was a good time for us at least. I will admit at that point in my life I was dumb and apart of the unaware horde. 2013 was the year my brain popped on and said, "WTF world am I living in!!?"

After learning about the families that have ruled the world since ancient times, I've been itching to go back to the Biltmore.

Keep up the good fight and God Bless all yall willing to tell the truth. Love Y'all 😁✌

I'm an electrician who's done residential commercial and industrial even high-end estate properties for close to 30 years I agree with you 100%. I've even just taken into consideration buildings in New York City that were built before we had power tools and the convenience of crane operators and such and something doesn't make sense I've always asked myself how did they come up with the ability? it's almost as though Greek and Roman revival was not a revival at all it never stopped somehow that style of opulence was perpetuated definitely this building was in built in 4 years. also I've always asked myself how the perfection and symmetry geometry and consistent replication of corbels and vaulted ceilings. the time it would take to cut those pieces by hand or shape them with plaster and come out with the smooth completely perfect surfaces that they have. I agree with you 100%. By the way the vanderbilts are nefarious people there's a lot to their family history.

JonLevi has a YT channel y'all might be interstate in.

4 years to build that is totally impossible I work in construction and I'm telling you it's not even possible today no way at all!!!
