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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The brick work at the Union Station is spectacular and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. But what’s amazing is the rivet work underneath it. It’s so precise, it is perfect.

That building with the Parthenon on top is wild I have never seen it before… surprised it hasn’t been destroyed tbh… definitely this is what sphinx looked like before renovation

another awesome vid. keep it up.

Seriously your content is Spot On not too long nor short

Another banger vid sir! Your doing wonderful work my man!!!!

I loved this video Lucius! This one had me rolling

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

Here in Missouri farther from Louis I live on a street that still has old fancy Victorian houses but look nothing like the civil war era photos they have on display my grandma walked same streets as I do now when she was kid just bizarre unrecognizable times don’t add up.

"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.

His sarcasm be so true 😂😭🤣 it have me laughing every time I swear 💯💯

I agree with the beautiful! Structure exeeds .. the details are gorgeous 🥰

4:43. The official story is that the city was of 63,000 at that point, and that 430 buildings were destroyed. That's a kind of interesting ratio present right there, all the more so if we look at the actual view there. Apparently the fire claimed 3 lives, though a life was also lost as explosives WERE used to create fire-breaks. It contrasts with 4500 lives lost at more or less the same time due to cholera. Bizzarely, the main Wikipedia entry for St Louis makes no reference at all (of any kind) to the year 1849.

Wow things are really heating up ! Your just what this topic needed to be taken serious mate great things are coming

Amazing !

Another great video! Thank you

The steamer ironically named The White Cloud was the one that caught 19 other steamers on fire after its moorings burned through in 1849 and it really did cause all that damage. Yes that many buildings really burned down from this. There were piles of lumber and crate’s of black powder between the bank and the buildings and that’s what caught the buildings on fire because you had tinder kindling and fuel which are all needed to sustain fire. The man who saved the city from becoming a total loss did so by pouring black powder all through a building and he perished because he didn’t get out in time becoming the first fire fighter in the country to die by fire. It worked in stopping the fire for the same reason tnt is still used today to extinguish oil well fires. It takes the oxygen out of the surrounding area which is required to sustain fire.

Why are there so many cities and places named for Catholic saints when it was illegal to be Catholic in 11 of the 13 colonies? Were the Catholics or Orthodox there long before the pilgrims?

LOL! 😁🥰THE PIECE OF RESISTANCE " THANK YOU ! I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!! YOU ARE AMAZING!

I salvaged road bricks to make three driveways at our house in Alton.

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.😎

Awesome explanation. Thank you ❤

The Little Season is the current time

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.

I suspect and am maybe the first to say so that the Lewis and Clark expedition was an exploration to find the existing old world sites so that the Ultra rich could set up shop and take possession

25:52 those statues are back-to-back sphinxes, or maybe harpy's. The symbol on their chests, is a fleur de lis flower. also, i agree that the st. louis arch, is positioned too perfectly to Not be interconnected to the statues.

Great summary of St. Louis. Of course the lie needs the stake of violence. The truth holds up the violence. The dominate historiography is the historiography of the rulers. A great fairytale we should believe and that is only the peak of an iceberg. Greetings from Bavaria

Wonderful video

9:34 the courthouse looks painfully mudflooded! Just look how the windows are not level across the entire bottom of the structure!

12:00 like preparation for anticipated construction or change in landscape, coat the levels that will be Underground with some weather protection white paint

I call this style "Credence Clearwater Revival"

Hello. From St Louis. Nice video. The first Capitol was in St Charles on 3rd st and First Capitol Drive. St Louis is the only city that was never incorporated. Their is a Star fort off of the Mississippi River and on Grand Ave we have an ancient Roman column. I believe this was the hub city and very well the base camp for the people who took it over and occupied it.

Nice video. Wish we knew who really was here and how their history was highjacked. The official narrative is just a big lie and it's really crazy when you start to think about it

The tunnels under St. Louis which some now support the MetroLink trains were used for storing beer for the major St Louis Breweries (A-B/Falstaff/Lemp Brewery) prior to refrigeration which A-B first brought to train cars to expand their market. When they dug up the new Busch Stadium (2oo6) they found donkey corpses that they left after dieing under ground in the tunnel construction. The tunnels I am told run under St. Louis over the whole city. This history needs more investigation.

14:00 not a screw or a power tool used in the construction? What about the plans that bricklayers and stone masons all draw from in order to keep continuity with the rest of the structure? Not to mention the logistics of getting exotic materials. Oh and this was being repeated all over the country at roughly the same time? All the skilled workers required to achieve such beautiful craftsmanship when most people couldn't read or write? Nothing but dirt roads leading up to these monolithic structures? The hospital in my town resembles this structure and the courthouse in my town is just as epic is the next one. Oh and our Public Library is gorgeous as well I just don't see where all the labor came from. The hours on the most obscure details would have had to have cost a fortune then and now were they that much wealthy? Arches and domes made of brick

1:04 love these early ariel pictures of cities, suggests wide spread airship travel. Like...this too will be your first sight of the said city. If you have money that is lol

Budweiser: A bunch of the buildings were meant to serve all the employees including their children. One building was a school, one was a hospital, and there were apartment buildings as well. A general store and a bakery. It was essentially a company town that actually took care of the people. They were "founded", and i believe meant to be something else

The grand water tower and Bissell water towers are so big and close because they had to control a lot more water. The area was filled with homes and factories that needed it where other parts of the city weren't as populated as that area was back then. The tower even had a trough for horses at the bottom. The people of st Louis were rich that's why all the buildings are so huge all of the poor people lived downtown in mill creek that's all been demolished. It's an easy explanation for things you're looking for but great videos

Mounds are the tops of skyscrapers that sank in the mud during noah's flood. We know more than you can believe.

The guys at the end found all of the usable bricks left over from the partially destroyed building that had just found. They will build new buildings with them.

The city hall looks like a very old society build a base, then another older society built on top of it.

By the way, St. Louis Missouri was named after the French king Louis IX. Whereas, Louisville, Kentucky is named after the French King Louis XVI.

The St. Louis mound picture looks like the the ones in south arkansas and northern lousiana. The way they planted that staircase on top of them.

Where did all the bricks come from?

Nashville is loaded with these old world buildings. All across the city. Over the years I’ve always questioned the narrative of how they were built

All this amazing construction with no income taxes.

The stylization of those supposedly art deco sphinxes is amazing.copious amounts of out of place structure in that city that borders on ridiculousness when explanations of Providence are supplied....the mausoleum rooftop alignment with the arch..reminded me of the rooftop scene in the original Ghostbusters film...Here comes Gozer ..hahaha

It's kind of interesting that in the modern age you rarely ever hear about St Louis

Many buildings in St. Louis look like they were similarly constructed as the Mpls.-St. Paul old world, even down to the appearance and materials.

⚜

spared no expense

Don’t know if somebody else already answered but that’s a fleur de lis on the chest of the statues

Look into the veiled prophet of St. Louis if you’re unfamiliar. That rabbit hole seems right up your alley

Thank you Jamie Griffin during live stream. Could never remember "cymatics,:" and thank you to Lucius for creating a ckass environment that switched me on.

The civil court building. Those 2 griffins ontop. There's 2 at the WW1 memorial in KCMO, except their faces are covered by wings

cymatics, feels like a pop quiz lol

You telling me with the Civil Court building they used hamster wheels cranes to lift EACH of those columns in place at the top?!?!? Also the figures at the top are identical to the grotesques that were replaced on top corners of the Parthenon in Nashville…the temporary ones that were replaced with the permanent gothic style ones ;) same Phoenicia style wings ;)

Are we looking at city size (and bigger) submersible pumping systems? Were these lowered into the mud and flood lands to drain continents? It would explain so much of what we don't see below grade, steam engines, cysterns, plumbing, tunnels to ocean and so so much more below ground. This realm is so friggin weird.

Can you look into Fort Wayne, Indiana next?

Whenever I look at something like the Wainright Building or the former Anthony Hordern building in Sydney, I can't help but look at every window, and wonder if they locked in like Leggo. I'm Australian. We think it sounds stupid in plural form. Then I think of who perfected Leggo, as we know it.

I was told that my great grandfather, a recent immigrant, was put to work building the temporary structures for the World’s Fair.

We don’t need interesting theories to know that the city is being wasted

I realize that with this response I'm not exactly playing the game, but I think that the size and ornate nature of the older buildings that you mention are directly related to the size and importance of St. Louis for the US at the time they were constructed. The gateway to the west, the 4th or 5th most populated city in the country, depending upon the year, and the expectation that it would continue to be so at this point. The objective was to impress and show its arrival on the world's stage as a modern marvel, and it was a location where architects could come and demonstrate their skill. Old B/W photos could easily be developed to highlight the subject and make everything else faded (simply by covering those parts of the paper during development). The men with the column were guiding the cap into place as it was being lowered by a crane and not holding any of the associated weight. I feel like you're seeing what you =want= to see, not what's actually there.

Great exploration! I may not be as hard working as those fellows "repaving the road", and maybe they were not the actual workers? But if I were going to repave that road, I'd start, I don't know one side or the other? Wouldn't just lay out bricks all willy-nilly like that. Good thing they weren't OCD like so many claim to be now days.

if not a full blown believer, im at least very open to this idea, but i must say, im just not convinced this was not achievable with 1800's tech, knowledge and exploitation of the poor. I feel like youve spend so much time presenting evidence supporting your theory, and its compelling, but you also need to try to disprove your own theory. you should investigate the mining, steel, stone and glass making industry of the 1800's and see how plausible it is that they could produce these materials. But even if true, whats next? where does this lead? it feels like everyone is just going in circles now, producing content, but no one is getting any closer to the truth and secret.

SUBSCRIBED

Can you make some short video about Europe and my city of Zagreb hahah there are some crazy looking buildings that make no sense at all..

the light pole in front of the first mound ????

The narrative we are told as Canadians as for the construction of the Canadian parliament in Ottawa is that it was built by Irish workers along with the canal Rideau and many of them died because of the working conditions in this remote inhospitable place. We are told the railroad was mostly built using Chinese and Irish manpower in extremely dangerous conditions we could compare with slave work with very low wages and for the railroad to reach Vancouver was the condition for British Columbia to enter the Canadian Confederation in 1867. 🍁

The arch was built by a company local to me. Area Erectors Rockford, IL

I think they found the plans for the arch. Because for 1, they didn't know what was going to be at the top. 2, they didn't even know how to get to the top.

I all ways wondered why such big clocks …..? Lol

Probably was a fire since some of the buildings look untouched in the background, also it probably was fast low grade construction so once the wood and supports were gutted and burnt out of the building the brick walls just collapsed

I was expecting something about the massive cave and tunnel network.

A lot of buildings from the worlds fair are still standing , they reside in Forest Park .

New to this channel… you allude to unknown parties building these structures. Who do you think built this stuff? What’s your evidence?

25:00 All my life I've wondered what's really inside at the top ? An alter ? I'm in Australia and this I always think of out of all those worldy sites we have 😊

Lot of rich people lived in St Louis in the 1890s in the early 1900s

Just dawned on me, St Louis is on the wrong side of the river! East St Louis is virtually barren in comparison. And I'm pretty sure it was a westward movement narrative, not eastward. And the Mississippi is definitely an immovable impediment in 1800s. East side is still wide open today, great place for a major city I'd say:)

Sumner High School, not Summer. just FYI.

Much Love from Franconia :) Grüß Gott

ayooooooo!

I'm ngl this is some of the most tin foil hat shit I've ever heard about st Louis. I'm from st Louis, and it's wild as hell to hear you say you think the union station clock tower was for airships Bro this is a valley We need that shit tall because hills ☠️

Could you do a video on spirit possession and/or djinn? Would love to hear your perspective. Thank you.

The big wather tower is on a place were there was a starfort on old maps ca 1790

"The French were trapping beaver" Think Louisiana purchase. If the French were up the Mississippi they had access to the ALL OF THE Great Lakes! (See Great Circle Route)Meaning for hundreds of years before us there were foreigners with access to Iron (Minnesota) & Copper (Upper Michigan) and every Great Lake City has buildings that are a thousand years old not two hundred.
