Ok my dad worked for the water system for 30 yrs. He often told me of buried streets while digging up and repairing water mains. So one night he called home while working the night shift. He told to go see what they were doing downtown. It was the City Water Board at that time. In front of the old court house there was the city street(not no more) well a water main had sheared the turning shaft as they were turning it off so it had to be dug up and repaired ok. My dad was a general foremen. He was in charge of this operation. What I saw ( it was 1991--92) was right in front of the old courthouse was the hole the they dug to reach the main. It was 15--18 ft deep and you could clearly see the buried street there. It is comprised of red type heavy superior bricks. Not cheap ones like today. Those bricks I still have them. Talk about mudflood. Yes the old courthouse is a mudflood relic. It is very old and we did not make it. Some other civilation did. Reset happened. My dad saw buried streets around San Antonio. It came with job. Digging EVERYDAY for years till he retired. Geologist didn't have nothing on my dad. Heh heh 😁
@@leelehmann3686 He would tell me also if they found bones (buried deeply tho??) that they were instructed not to say anything so work would not be interrupted. I was young and would often ponder why are these bones buried under so much soil? Hmmm. Now that I know about "mudflood" maybe that what buried these things. Hmpf 😕🙂
In St Petersburg FL there are red heavy bricks that were used in streets. It's crazy how these heavy bricks were used everywhere and said to have been put in place with carts pulled by donkeys and workers who weren't as many as it would have needed to build the roads and buildings.
My mother and grandmother would take us kids on vacations every year in the mid-to-late 60s and early 70s. Our route was Salado, Austin, Aquarena Springs in San Marcos, San Antonio and Port Aransas. We would take short side trips from those locations. Several weeks of fun and learning Texas history every year. I'm thankful they cared enough to teach us the history. I have to say, I loved the ocean but San Antonio was my second favorite. We took the Mission Tour, visited the River Walk, zoo and ate great food, plus other fun things. I live in North Texas but I would be happy living in San Antonio. I'm sure it's changed some since then.
San Antonio is so old! I grew up not to far from there and remember tours when I was a kid where they said that the missions were built closer to Spanish cities in the Caribbean like Cartagena built in 1500s. That is most likely the truth, as they are very similar styles . Its only been more recent times that they moved the historical dates up to the 1700s to fix a narrative problem they were having, its just way to early and predates to many other things they need to be earlier on the timeline. Interesting also to hear the real history of the people in the mid 1800s , as it is completely different than what they want it to be, as Texas has to be part of the south, and cannot be anything else. Great work!
A sophisticated San Antonio is 1000s of years old. A giant flood washed everything away. That’s why we’re down to solid bedrock or mud flooded east of 35
@@TXJan0057 Amongst other things too. Like the old court house..they took down a lot of it's ornate designs that were on there. Plus the antiquitech is missing as well.
I live in SA. There are so many tunnels and barried buildings here . I went to Saint Mary's Catholic School. There was Saint Mary's Church right across the street and we would take the underground tunnel to church when it would be bad weather. The bricks in that tunnel we're so old looking.
@@rachel_v_k They're every where downtown SA. Also throughout the area around the court house. Plus the older buildings have other older buildings underneath them. I've seen them first hand.
@Rubee I am in San Antonio also. We had a successful CE-5 Meditation in Kerrville TX which led to the details of the 2 solar eclipses coming to San Antonio and the history of the city and the waters. We have a team putting together a huge event for the city for Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse 10-14-23. "Setting The Tone" Spiritual Summit 10/6 - 10/15
I've lived here since 1998 and the tunnels are the biggest mystery to me. A few homes in Alamo Heights have actually discovered extra hallways and rooms under them. San Antonio also has many retired spies and ranking military personnel. The Famous Riverwalk is pretty much under ground too... mudflood theory brain food. Supposedly Camp Bullis has miles of underground tunnels. The owner of the Pearl Brewery would get there by underground means. A couple of years ago it was reported that about 10,000people were living underground.
When I was in college I was taking some film classes, and one of the movies they had us watch was about Cabeza de Vaca. I believe the title was just Cabeza de Vaca. It is a very interesting and thought-provoking movie that really gets you into the headspace of an entirely different paradigm. I recommend it to anyone interested in either the region or the time period. I completely forgot most of the movies we watched for class, but that one has stayed with me.
@@rachel_v_k, the origin of the name Rachel is Hebrew, and it means ewe, or female sheep. Strange, right, that your name and Cabeza de Vaca both are animals?
@@annaolivarez2578 My name does mean a "ewe lamb." I can imagine an ancient shepherd may have named him daughter for something very cute. In the Bible, the girl named Rachel is a shepherdess. I had never heard of Cabeza de Vaca before. I find it interesting how someone originally got that name as a family name.
Ancient city, build by ancient civilisation with advanced technology . Resettled, and repurposed, by modern day settlers . This seems to be common to all "colonies" around the world , suggesting a worldwide civilization . Brilliant vid and excellent research .
Having been to San Antonio twice yet a long time ago, it didn't matter to me what any differences there were, it's the story of the brave men that defended her at that time. The most remarkable experience of having been through The Alamo, was the quiet, the reverence, and the embedded history that I experienced that struck my soul. Perhaps because it was a mission, but I've been in few churches that were that quiet, so with that kind reverence from those like me going through the tour. My respect continues. 😊
I’m on the edge of my seat wondering if you’ll mention the underground tunnel that was found under the Alamo in the mid 20th century… it led to a larger tunnel complex under San Antonio and was complete with a masonry staircase that descended under the river. Had the defenders known it was there, they could have escaped being massacred.
Actually, underground tunnels are very common in mexican and spanish religious architecture in the Américas. In some viceroyal-era towns such as Oaxaca or Puebla in Mexico there are tunnels that link all of the old-City churches.
I was in San Antonio, TX for many weeks as I completed US Airforce basic training. I didn’t see much as I was in a base but what I did see past the big fence was ugly flat land with absolutely no trees and giant rabbits!😅 Rd called Jack rabbits. They were my favorite part. As I was a punk rocker at the time I did not fit in AT ALL with any Texans. I didn’t care. I was busy. I wanted one of those jack rabbits SO SO BADLY! I don’t know what I’d do with one, but that didn’t matter to a naive 23 year old. 😮😇
I lived in Boerne, 17 miles northwest of San Antonio for two decades. I spent much time stomping around the missions and always knew there was more to the architecture. In this fantastic video, you have a picture of Fort Davis - the Officer’s Row I believe… at 15:50. It caught my eye because I live in Fort Davis now and there is sooooooo much mysterious melted “stuff” out here in the Big Bend. Thank you for your fantastic videos!!!
Oh I want to hear about fort davis. I lived in marfa one summer with a view of the davis mountains and I could feel I was always picking up half of the story.
Texan here just went to San Antonio for Vacation 2 weeks ago... the Spain/Roman... built Older buildings look maybe 400-500 years old or 1000's Roman..??? Alot of Time and Money went into planning the Streets and Buildings (Roman) style Domes Steeples Arches around water...rivers......I felt like time.. seems to slow down there and a peaceful calm feeling at night...possible Ancient Indian.... Holy Site???
I've seen it around posted here-and-there . . . Jarid Boosters -- always A HIT! NEVER a miss!" As judging by this new San Antonio production of his plus about a half-dozen others, I am coming to believe it so absolutely. WHAT a find!
As a lifetime resident... thank you to all involved in the making of this documentary... failed to mention the aqueducts previously seen only in Greece
When I saw the Alamo for the first time I couldn’t believe not only how small it was but that it was surrounded by other buildings. I too would like to learn more about the underground tunnels. I live in Dallas and in recent years have learned that there are massive tunnels connecting Dallas to Ft. Worth. I believe that they are all connected around the world. Anyone else? Who and why?
The Mission that the Alamo belongs to runs left from the front of the Alamo Chapel along the long barracks, it reaches across the street to the sidewalk in front of the Bonham nightclub and old post office, following that down to almost the Riverwalk, the original walls are in the middle of the buildings (Ripleys believe it or not, what used to be Woolworths), it runs down that part of the street to where the Mengar Hotel is at. The mission was much larger than just the Alamo chapel. Also, though part of the Alamo Grounds today, the area behind the Alamo is not part of the original mission, it was on the other side of the wall.
Sulphur Springs Tx; Granite courthouse ,center of town square with bricked streets and has tunnels and cisterns running below. Orphan trains ran through, Odd fellows lodges, course masons. Howdy neighbor!
@@AngryOtterReactsyes it is sad that the entire area was allowed to be built up so urban over so many years. Just think if the actual footprints of original mission property would have been preserved!
Where to begin. There was no baptism at the Alamo in 1718 because there was no Alamo then. It was Mission San Antonio de Valero. It wasn't until the early 1800s that it became known as the Alamo. The first settlement was at San Pedro Springs, but these were not and still aren't "hot" springs. San Antonio was named for St. Anthony of Padua, not for Father Antonio Olivares. He's the one who gave the mission its name and I don't think he would've named it after himself. The "San" means "saint," and Olivares was not then or now a saint. Strangely enough, however, Santa Anna means "St. Ann," and he did not order that all the missions be destroyed. Supposedly he did want the Alamo destroyed, but it didn't happen, at least it wasn't a total destruction. When talking about Cabeza de Vaca the narrator refers to him as "de Vaca" in a second reference. That is incorrect. His full last name was Cabeza de Vaca, which translates literally to "head of a cow." You need all three elements for the name to make sense, even though it's unusual. There are various theories as to how he got that name. The narrator also mispronounces the names of Ben Milam and Juan Seguin, which made me cringe. There are other problems with the presentation, but I'll leave it there.
There are hot springs but not anywhere near San Pedro Springs. They are located south of downtown on S Presa by the river. A health spa recently opened there after years of neglect.
German immigrants are noted as populating so many American and Canadian cities, all during the same period, it is a wonder that Germany was not bereft of its population entirely! The English language is suffused with word origins derived from French, but not much with German. With such an influx of German speaking people, one would suppose American English would have been more affected.
One thing that's always bugged me is that we're told that the type of granite used for the buildings in Austin cannot be mined anymore, and was brought in after they built a railroad. But I'm thinking that they actually took the huge stone slabs from ancient sites in S Texas. Since they used a lot of prisoners to build it wouldn't be difficult to keep that a secret.
Most of the granite used in the government buildings in Austin, including the State Capital, were quarried from Marble Falls & Convict Hill (quarried by convicts) in what is now southwest Austin. Not from ancient sites in South Texas.
Hotel California Song by Eagles, Is about this topic, The 800 mile California Missions Trail between San Francisco Bay and San Diego takes in 21 historic Spanish missions and can be completed in 50-60 walking day.

I grew up next to Salado creek outside of Ft. Sam Houston base. Two landmarks THE DAWSON MASSACRE and THE BATTLE OF SALADO, almost within a mile of each other have been relocated. Oddly all the death around that area translated years later in the neighborhood I grew up. There's a couple of dozen odd deaths of friends I grew up with.
That’s sad to hear, my friend. Sometimes places like that appear to have an atmosphere, an aura, that stays with them. It’s definitely a location that has been shrouded in both mystery and a lot of loss of life. I hope to visit in person one day and experience it for myself.
@@FRESHboosters I know. It occurred to me back when the movie poltergeist came out that there must be hundreds of bodies underground there. Also there's a very old house nearby called the Black Swan Inn. Spooky place as a kid! Let me know if and when you plan to get here. I'm open to assist with and possibly put you up if my wife is okay with that.
Me too Wilshire Terrace, Brettonwood. We used to play in that area along the creek, sure we would find a sword or something from the battle. I’m back on the same street now, dead ends across from the Black Swan Inn Attended Wilshire, Krueger and MacArthur. There’s now a nice trailhead there .
Bejar is the Spanish, but it's Bexar "Bear" County in English. Also, it's Juan Seguin "SeGEEN". The Alamo is also just the chapel, the mission is San Antonio de Valero.
I live in San Augustine Texas and it's the oldest Spanish missionary settlement in the Texas... or at least supposedly. Nacogdoches is the VERY oldest "mostly white" Texas town. You can see our jail from when Sam Houston moved it to his law office in San Augustine. It's a show on TH-cam called expedition Texas 1101 is the episode. I believe I could be wrong on the episode number but that's where I live and I even got put in jail there when I was 16.
Nacgodoche was part of a Indian or native trade route it was not found by the late comers - the white colonizers. This trade route covered all of the southern of the United States west of Tejas to Florida.
The riverwalk has always fascinated me. I've only been once and it was before all the research but I have to wonder if it wasn't so much created as it was dug out. If I recall correctly, many of the buildings that line the river had 'floors' that went all the way down to the level of the riverwalk. Someone with more first hand knowledge of the riverwalk might be able to clarify my memory.
OK I thought I knew my Texas history and I laughed at some of your pronunciations of some names, but I admit I don't remember knowing about the "New Philippines". After some searching and reading up on it, your information taught this smart aleck something new. Thanks.

Many people don't know this, but El Paso, Texas oldest mission was built 1692, however, it was washed away in 1740 by the Rio Grande and was rebuilt by1744. We have some of the oldest missions in all of Texas.
San Antonio here ..born and raised ..there’s so much here that I learn about everyday ..the Alamo is beautiful and just filled with so much rich history and let’s not forget how packed it always is 🥴 it’s def getting way to overpopulated here and the traffic is terrible
That's the whole state unfortunately I'm afraid, as it seems that I've spent most of my life moving away from the crowds around Dallas. Outside of Greenville now, and my last hopes of avoiding the masses has been spoiled once again, but I'm too old to load everything up on my small piece of land, with a few cows to get away. So I'll hold down the little piece of land along side of my neighbors till they kick black dirt over top of my head. Shame that it's always the best farm and ranch lands that they devour by the hundreds of thousands of acres, and not the areas that aren't suitable for such as that, but would be good locations for the overpopulated developments that the surrounding infrastructure isn't close to being able to support the mases of people that flood into these rural communities.
Will you look into Oklahoma old world😇😇please love your approach to send viewers on adventures that takes us to see blast from our past😎😎😎So cool! ,&exciting
I am so amused (and somewhat embarrassed) by my Texas brothers and sisters bouncing on pronunciation. Hey Darlin, y'all give the man a short break! Most Texans know the proper use of ain't, and the necessary distinction between y'all and all y'all, but qualfied grammarians we ain't!

I love your work! Please do not be deterred! These are valuable videos! And I thank you!
Very interesting. So was a documentary I saw years ago about Rockwall Texas. And ancient stone wall that no past generations knew who built it. That the present day city that has been built over top of it most people dont know the old brick wall was there. Very little of the wall remains there today.
@@anonymousapocalypse247yes, there is, Rockwall origins now known. Some folks paid for scientific processes to be done by UT experts of the part of wall on a local ranch. There is a you tube about it. Fascinating!
I was one of your first subscribers back when you only had a few subscribers even then I knew this channel was gonna be good! Maybe start filling in the gaps in the narrative timeline missing pieces of history or holes in the current historical narrative, between 1850-1940 a lot was erased & destroyed of the old tech I believe. 100+ years ago they had tech that you have to special order today or in some cases cant even get today like water powered automobiles, jetpack flying machines, motor powered bicycles that used water & electricity not gasoline, cell phones, harnessing lightning, they had tech that was destroyed then hidden from the public when the last reset happened somewhere in the 1800's. I think they may have cloned millions of children from European DNA put them on trains all over the world and claimed it was immigrants. Why are there so many old pics of trains full of children wearing businessman's clothes with almost no adults in sight. The old movie Pinocchio had some truth about child slave trade & genetic manipulation. There is a lot of truth "they" keep hidden because people would be angry if they found out 90% of what they learned of history is fiction or changed to fit the narrative.
The photo of the men at 18:20 show one of them on the far right doing a Masonic hand gesture, although four of them also appear to be doing what is known as the "lion's paw". The guy with the peg leg at 19:49 is also interesting, wonder how he ended up with a wooden leg? Byzantine style cathedral or church, domed roof and arched windows, both indicative of the "old world", wonder if they're red brick under the stucco?
Hey Jarid, around 18 minutes in you mentioned Issa which I have heard mentioned before about Jesus's name given by Buddhist monks. Thought you may like that information. Take care
Regarding the condition of stone buildings: some could be attributed to the limestone. I am not a geologist, but as an amateur sculptor living in San Antonio for 50 years, I have seen great variance in it. Some appears to be as substantial as marble while other (that superficially looks the same) deteriorates to powder in decades.
I live here in S.A. and you should look at the Helotes area north of town. Lots of Spanish land grants given and the families still live on the land generations later.
Ok so there is an emerging field of archaeological science known as lichen spore dating or lichenometry. Based on what I know, these photos of the Alamo and other Missions from the early 1800’s indicate that over 300 years of Lichen growth have deposited on many surfaces. Lichens grow extremely slowly, making a visible patch potentially over 80 years old. A 2 inch spot of grey stuff for example could tale 200 years to form. But in a low moisture desert, maybe longer… The Alamo plus Texas and California Missions are easily 600 years old. Based on the exact nature of the architecture I am not entirely convinced that this is no younger than 1000 years. The really striking thing here is that these Missions seem to openly display Ancient Persian Architectural Styling. While strikingly similar to Greco Roman styles, the Persian Style predates and inspired both. This is quite disturbing, and may indicate an earlier Persian Epoch predating or paralleling the Mycenaean Cultures. Now having grown up at the Santa Barbara Mission, Receiving my first communion there at 7, I have inside info on this site. My school, Marymount was around the corner. It is well known that the aqua-ducts and bath were already in place before the mission was allegedly built. The bath displays a lion fountain mouth that is strikingly similar to the Lions at Hattusa. It is also c commonly overlooked that the Hittites had concrete technology.
I too find your post utterly fascinating & would love to hear more from you. Possibly a video even without pictures? I heartily encourage you! ❤. I do have a question. It’s about the comment you made toward the end of your 2nd paragraph… Why do you find the thought of a 2nd Persian epoch ‘disturbing’? (Do I have this correct?) I fully admit my ignorance of history around the periods you speak of, but I’m willing to learn. And I doubt seriously I’m the only one. You sound very knowledgeable & I might add - plausible from a gut level perspective imho.❤
I toured the alamo last year and off in the back corner was the 6x10 foot area they had excavated about 6 to 8 feet deep showing the older foundation. I think the official plackert even admitted it to some degree.
Specifically, if you are looking at the front of the alamo, the excavated area was in the front left corner. You have to go inside, past the lady wearing “period” clothes who sits in the rocking chair knitting stuff, then go through the next door to access the corner of the inside wall. That is where they had been digging.
The Alamo and the other missions look positively ancient! I imagine that the plain, sand-colored walls might have been decorated with colorful plaster and paint designs. They look bare, like there is something missing. Also, I wonder if there are or were tunnels connecting all of the old world buildings in San Antonio? Btw, what does "Alamo" mean? Thank you, Jarrid! As always, the research, the pictures, and the presentation are all awesome. Much love and blessings! 🤗❤️🩷💜🙏
When telling history, it’s good to read/study both sides of “story”. By listening to the account it seems that the story teller read the romantic side.. Juan Nepomuceno Seguin’s “A Stranger in my Own Land” is a good read and the Mexican side of the story is also a good read.
There was a guy that came up to me to see if it was ok to change the façade of the city of San Antonio But I told him there’s so much that should be preserved
San Antonio is an amazing find. I'm living here now and just realized the St. Mary's University downtown is an old world building!! I was so excited to see one right here. Many of the buildings downtown have an very old style of architecture, especially the cathedrals. I do wonder what the Old world Civilizations used those for cuz I don't think it was for worshiping our 'God'. I need to go an visit some more of the old missions here. There are like a hundred!
I just arrived yesterday dor vacation and I immediately noticed St.Marys. One of the real mind blowing sites is the old world McDonald's lol. The building has columns and a basement level. The opposite side of the building even has space for rent. I did see a lot of older buildings on the river walk look mud flooded
‘Mind Unveiled’ explains in detail what the Ancient Cathedrals (power generators) and other old buildings were used for. And who built them (Tartarians). He was before Jarod Boosters, & is still producing phenomenal videos. Though I’m not negating Jared’s contributions. ❤
Another structure worth noting is formerly known as the Hot Wells Hotel which use to be a spa late 19 early 20th centuries. Not near as old as the missions but cool back story nonetheless
great photo reel man and nice story! it would be good if you could maybe put a bit of context or dates on some of the pictures (especially of ruins!)... it's quite hard to get an idea of what I'm seeing!
Great video man! I love seeing the old history of Texas dug up like this. A couple of things. *cracks knuckles* It's Bear, or even Bay-har, but not Becks-ar. It's Suh-Geen, not Seh-gwen (Seguin), and bro, how do you not know how to pronounce cholera? Sorry, I know these are minor things in the grand scheme of an otherwise great video. Keep up the great work, I can tell you're truly passionate about this.
I’m sure San Antonio has many mysteries that would stun the citizens. His name is pronounced see-geen, (Segiun) btw. Very cool video of my hometown, thanks!
Damn so San Antonio was a secret.. with great waters .smh we have trashed it.. I've always lived on the ss of s.a and I remember when u could go swimming in the aquaducts and fish and all that.. but now the water is so polluted u can't do that anymore..it's so sad .cuz I was raised back there in the missions and going down the trails..now with modernization they are changing the land and the trails... It's just sad to see, when u know what it used to be and how much ppl have trashed it.. I bet out ancestors would cry..smh Wish it would have stayed a secret
Sadly most of all of east Texas waters lakes, and rivers have been banned from consuming the fish, almost the entire eastern side of the state from Dallas east north and south as far as I remember from reading in a report I found online. Sorry don't remember where I found it, but I'm sure you can Google it and read about it. The whole state from when I was younger, and traveled around working in different areas around the state has all changed so much that it's a wonder there's enough oxygen for everyone. The hiyways are a nightmare between the traffic flying well over the speed limits, and the construction that has been basically nonstop since the 70's. I've been taking the back roads ever since those days if I have to travel around the state, even if it means I have to go hundred miles outta my way to get somewhere.
I highly suggest you to visit the Alamo and the San Jose Mission to solve your doubts and confusion. I learnt a lot just visiting these places and the information presented there. I also suggest you to read about the history of the Spanish empire and it’s colonies in South America. Nunca es tarde! 😊

Ok my dad worked for the water system for 30 yrs. He often told me of buried streets while digging up and repairing water mains. So one night he called home while working the night shift. He told to go see what they were doing downtown. It was the City Water Board at that time. In front of the old court house there was the city street(not no more) well a water main had sheared the turning shaft as they were turning it off so it had to be dug up and repaired ok. My dad was a general foremen. He was in charge of this operation. What I saw ( it was 1991--92) was right in front of the old courthouse was the hole the they dug to reach the main. It was 15--18 ft deep and you could clearly see the buried street there. It is comprised of red type heavy superior bricks. Not cheap ones like today. Those bricks I still have them. Talk about mudflood. Yes the old courthouse is a mudflood relic. It is very old and we did not make it. Some other civilation did. Reset happened. My dad saw buried streets around San Antonio. It came with job. Digging EVERYDAY for years till he retired. Geologist didn't have nothing on my dad. Heh heh 😁

San Antonio is so old! I grew up not to far from there and remember tours when I was a kid where they said that the missions were built closer to Spanish cities in the Caribbean like Cartagena built in 1500s. That is most likely the truth, as they are very similar styles . Its only been more recent times that they moved the historical dates up to the 1700s to fix a narrative problem they were having, its just way to early and predates to many other things they need to be earlier on the timeline. Interesting also to hear the real history of the people in the mid 1800s , as it is completely different than what they want it to be, as Texas has to be part of the south, and cannot be anything else. Great work!
I agree. I grew up in San Antonio and remember well my 7th grade Texas history the dates have been changed.
German cities from 1200 . Today most in Polen.
A sophisticated San Antonio is 1000s of years old. A giant flood washed everything away. That’s why we’re down to solid bedrock or mud flooded east of 35

Amongst other things too. Like the old court house..they took down a lot of it's ornate designs that were on there. Plus the antiquitech is missing as well.
I live in SA. There are so many tunnels and barried buildings here .
I went to Saint Mary's Catholic School. There was Saint Mary's Church right across the street and we would take the underground tunnel to church when it would be bad weather. The bricks in that tunnel we're so old looking.

They're every where downtown SA. Also throughout the area around the court house. Plus the older buildings have other older buildings underneath them. I've seen them first hand.
@Rubee I am in San Antonio also. We had a successful CE-5 Meditation in Kerrville TX which led to the details of the 2 solar eclipses coming to San Antonio and the history of the city and the waters. We have a team putting together a huge event for the city for Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse 10-14-23. "Setting The Tone" Spiritual Summit 10/6 - 10/15
I've lived here since 1998 and the tunnels are the biggest mystery to me.
A few homes in Alamo Heights have actually discovered extra hallways and rooms under them.
San Antonio also has many retired spies and ranking military personnel.
The Famous Riverwalk is pretty much under ground too... mudflood theory brain food.
Supposedly Camp Bullis has miles of underground tunnels.
The owner of the Pearl Brewery would get there by underground means.
A couple of years ago it was reported that about 10,000people were living underground.
Most buildings on the river walk have a lower level too, level with the river
When I was in college I was taking some film classes, and one of the movies they had us watch was about Cabeza de Vaca. I believe the title was just Cabeza de Vaca. It is a very interesting and thought-provoking movie that really gets you into the headspace of an entirely different paradigm. I recommend it to anyone interested in either the region or the time period. I completely forgot most of the movies we watched for class, but that one has stayed with me.
Read a short but interesting book of cabeza de vaca, his ship wreck and journey through this area, great history.
"Cabeza de Vaca" means "head of a cow." 😅 Strange, right?
No comment.
@@rachel_v_k, the origin of the name Rachel is Hebrew, and it means ewe, or female sheep. Strange, right, that your name and Cabeza de Vaca both are animals?
@@annaolivarez2578 My name does mean a "ewe lamb." I can imagine an ancient shepherd may have named him daughter for something very cute. In the Bible, the girl named Rachel is a shepherdess. I had never heard of Cabeza de Vaca before. I find it interesting how someone originally got that name as a family name.
Ancient city, build by ancient civilisation with advanced technology . Resettled, and repurposed, by modern day settlers . This seems to be common to all "colonies" around the world , suggesting a worldwide civilization . Brilliant vid and excellent research .
Having been to San Antonio twice yet a long time ago, it didn't matter to me what any differences there were, it's the story of the brave men that defended her at that time. The most remarkable experience of having been through The Alamo, was the quiet, the reverence, and the embedded history that I experienced that struck my soul. Perhaps because it was a mission, but I've been in few churches that were that quiet, so with that kind reverence from those like me going through the tour. My respect continues. 😊
I’m on the edge of my seat wondering if you’ll mention the underground tunnel that was found under the Alamo in the mid 20th century… it led to a larger tunnel complex under San Antonio and was complete with a masonry staircase that descended under the river. Had the defenders known it was there, they could have escaped being massacred.
Actually, underground tunnels are very common in mexican and spanish religious architecture in the Américas. In some viceroyal-era towns such as Oaxaca or Puebla in Mexico there are tunnels that link all of the old-City churches.
Underground tunnels are found everywhere throughout the world and they all have suspect reasons given as to who and why they are built

I was in San Antonio, TX for many weeks as I completed US Airforce basic training. I didn’t see much as I was in a base but what I did see past the big fence was ugly flat land with absolutely no trees and giant rabbits!😅
Rd called Jack rabbits. They were my favorite part. As I was a punk rocker at the time I did not fit in AT ALL with any Texans. I didn’t care. I was busy.
I wanted one of those jack rabbits SO SO BADLY! I don’t know what I’d do with one, but that didn’t matter to a naive 23 year old. 😮😇
I lived in Boerne, 17 miles northwest of San Antonio for two decades. I spent much time stomping around the missions and always knew there was more to the architecture.
In this fantastic video, you have a picture of Fort Davis - the Officer’s Row I believe… at 15:50. It caught my eye because I live in Fort Davis now and there is sooooooo much mysterious melted “stuff” out here in the Big Bend.
Thank you for your fantastic videos!!!
Oh I want to hear about fort davis. I lived in marfa one summer with a view of the davis mountains and I could feel I was always picking up half of the story.
Texan here just went to San Antonio for Vacation 2 weeks ago... the Spain/Roman... built Older buildings look maybe 400-500 years old or 1000's Roman..??? Alot of Time and Money went into planning the Streets and Buildings (Roman) style Domes Steeples Arches around water...rivers......I felt like time.. seems to slow down there and a peaceful calm feeling at night...possible Ancient Indian.... Holy Site???
Don't forget that there was a Worlds Fair in San Antonio. They built a needle for it, which is still in operation.
They serve hot dogs and cheap hamburgers and fries. It’s sad
It's the Tower of the America's, for the 1969 fair, Hemisphere Park is what is left of the fairgrounds.
Hemisfair that was the name of the festival

There of skylights in the sidewalks downtown. There are also elevators that are under the steel doors that are built into the sidewalks.
Yes indeed..I remember seeing block glass sidewalks by the old solo-serve and around the Majestic Theater.
Same thing with Seattle underground- skylights built into the sidewalks. They couldn’t hide it quite so well there. A whole underground city there.
When I saw the Alamo for the first time I couldn’t believe not only how small it was but that it was surrounded by other buildings. I too would like to learn more about the underground tunnels. I live in Dallas and in recent years have learned that there are massive tunnels connecting Dallas to Ft. Worth. I believe that they are all connected around the world. Anyone else? Who and why?
What is left of the Alamo is only the chapel the actual mission was much larger.
The Mission that the Alamo belongs to runs left from the front of the Alamo Chapel along the long barracks, it reaches across the street to the sidewalk in front of the Bonham nightclub and old post office, following that down to almost the Riverwalk, the original walls are in the middle of the buildings (Ripleys believe it or not, what used to be Woolworths), it runs down that part of the street to where the Mengar Hotel is at. The mission was much larger than just the Alamo chapel. Also, though part of the Alamo Grounds today, the area behind the Alamo is not part of the original mission, it was on the other side of the wall.
Sulphur Springs Tx; Granite courthouse ,center of town square with bricked streets and has tunnels and cisterns running below. Orphan trains ran through, Odd fellows lodges, course masons. Howdy neighbor!
Lots of homeless camps near the Alamo now.
@@AngryOtterReactsyes it is sad that the entire area was allowed to be built up so urban over so many years. Just think if the actual footprints of original mission property would have been preserved!
Another Awesome video!! I've lived WNW of San Antonio for 20+ years..... Great video!!
Good History, Good Job in all. Fine Presentation. Got the thumb up and a like and subscribe. Thank you.
Love this video s thire the best. Thanks
Where to begin. There was no baptism at the Alamo in 1718 because there was no Alamo then. It was Mission San Antonio de Valero. It wasn't until the early 1800s that it became known as the Alamo. The first settlement was at San Pedro Springs, but these were not and still aren't "hot" springs. San Antonio was named for St. Anthony of Padua, not for Father Antonio Olivares. He's the one who gave the mission its name and I don't think he would've named it after himself. The "San" means "saint," and Olivares was not then or now a saint. Strangely enough, however, Santa Anna means "St. Ann," and he did not order that all the missions be destroyed. Supposedly he did want the Alamo destroyed, but it didn't happen, at least it wasn't a total destruction. When talking about Cabeza de Vaca the narrator refers to him as "de Vaca" in a second reference. That is incorrect. His full last name was Cabeza de Vaca, which translates literally to "head of a cow." You need all three elements for the name to make sense, even though it's unusual. There are various theories as to how he got that name. The narrator also mispronounces the names of Ben Milam and Juan Seguin, which made me cringe. There are other problems with the presentation, but I'll leave it there.
There are hot springs but not anywhere near San Pedro Springs. They are located south of downtown on S Presa by the river. A health spa recently opened there after years of neglect.
German immigrants are noted as populating so many American and Canadian cities, all during the same period, it is a wonder that Germany was not bereft of its population entirely! The English language is suffused with word origins derived from French, but not much with German. With such an influx of German speaking people, one would suppose American English would have been more affected.
Love that you do this You and Roger from Mudfossil University could wake up the world
And Rog has DNA samples to prove it
How does American/Texan history match up with Mud U.? Just curious.
Thanks for another great upload!
There is so much in Texas.
Rockwall is a fun dig.
One thing that's always bugged me is that we're told that the type of granite used for the buildings in Austin cannot be mined anymore, and was brought in after they built a railroad. But I'm thinking that they actually took the huge stone slabs from ancient sites in S Texas. Since they used a lot of prisoners to build it wouldn't be difficult to keep that a secret.
Most of the granite used in the government buildings in Austin, including the State Capital, were quarried from Marble Falls & Convict Hill (quarried by convicts) in what is now southwest Austin. Not from ancient sites in South Texas.
Excellent video. San Antonio also has a river canal system. I think Pee-Wee Herman was right and there is a basement. The river is that low.
Im in town now. Im going find that damn basement lol
Hotel California Song by Eagles, Is about this topic, The 800 mile California Missions Trail between San Francisco Bay and San Diego takes in 21 historic Spanish missions and can be completed in 50-60 walking day. Highway 101, which roughly traces El Camino Real (The Royal Road) "We are programmed to receive You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave!"
The eagles popped up on my radar yesterday. Someone said their song Last Resort sounds like its about a reset. It is kind of eerie
I grew up next to Salado creek outside of Ft. Sam Houston base. Two landmarks THE DAWSON MASSACRE and THE BATTLE OF SALADO, almost within a mile of each other have been relocated. Oddly all the death around that area translated years later in the neighborhood I grew up. There's a couple of dozen odd deaths of friends I grew up with.
That’s sad to hear, my friend. Sometimes places like that appear to have an atmosphere, an aura, that stays with them. It’s definitely a location that has been shrouded in both mystery and a lot of loss of life. I hope to visit in person one day and experience it for myself.
@@FRESHboosters I know. It occurred to me back when the movie poltergeist came out that there must be hundreds of bodies underground there. Also there's a very old house nearby called the Black Swan Inn. Spooky place as a kid! Let me know if and when you plan to get here. I'm open to assist with and possibly put you up if my wife is okay with that.

Texan here. Bexar is pronounced "bear" we have a bunch of foreign pronunciation like that.
Behar
It was originally Bejar, like Tejas. Turning into Bexar and Texas but being pronounced Behar, but not Tehas.
Bejar is the Spanish, but it's Bexar "Bear" County in English. Also, it's Juan Seguin "SeGEEN". The Alamo is also just the chapel, the mission is San Antonio de Valero.
This was driving me crazy as well. He did a good job on the docu, but mispronounced important words is a distraction.
@@AngryOtterReacts False, Béxar is the original spelling, It was an archaic Spanish spelling and it was pronounced "behar" never bear
I live in San Augustine Texas and it's the oldest Spanish missionary settlement in the Texas... or at least supposedly. Nacogdoches is the VERY oldest "mostly white" Texas town. You can see our jail from when Sam Houston moved it to his law office in San Augustine. It's a show on TH-cam called expedition Texas 1101 is the episode. I believe I could be wrong on the episode number but that's where I live and I even got put in jail there when I was 16.
Nacgodoche was part of a Indian or native trade route it was not found by the late comers - the white colonizers. This trade route covered all of the southern of the United States west of Tejas to Florida.
The riverwalk has always fascinated me. I've only been once and it was before all the research but I have to wonder if it wasn't so much created as it was dug out. If I recall correctly, many of the buildings that line the river had 'floors' that went all the way down to the level of the riverwalk. Someone with more first hand knowledge of the riverwalk might be able to clarify my memory.
OK I thought I knew my Texas history and I laughed at some of your pronunciations of some names, but I admit I don't remember knowing about the "New Philippines". After some searching and reading up on it, your information taught this smart aleck something new. Thanks.

Many people don't know this, but El Paso, Texas oldest mission was built 1692, however, it was washed away in 1740 by the Rio Grande and was rebuilt by1744. We have some of the oldest missions in all of Texas.
San Antonio here ..born and raised ..there’s so much here that I learn about everyday ..the Alamo is beautiful and just filled with so much rich history and let’s not forget how packed it always is 🥴 it’s def getting way to overpopulated here and the traffic is terrible
That's the whole state unfortunately I'm afraid, as it seems that I've spent most of my life moving away from the crowds around Dallas.
Outside of Greenville now, and my last hopes of avoiding the masses has been spoiled once again, but I'm too old to load everything up on my small piece of land, with a few cows to get away.
So I'll hold down the little piece of land along side of my neighbors till they kick black dirt over top of my head.
Shame that it's always the best farm and ranch lands that they devour by the hundreds of thousands of acres, and not the areas that aren't suitable for such as that, but would be good locations for the overpopulated developments that the surrounding infrastructure isn't close to being able to support the mases of people that flood into these rural communities.

Very interesting. So was a documentary I saw years ago about Rockwall Texas. And ancient stone wall that no past generations knew who built it. That the present day city that has been built over top of it most people dont know the old brick wall was there. Very little of the wall remains there today.
I have been. wanting to find out more about rock wall. I hear there's not much known about it
@@anonymousapocalypse247yes, there is, Rockwall origins now known. Some folks paid for scientific processes to be done by UT experts of the part of wall on a local ranch. There is a you tube about it. Fascinating!
I was one of your first subscribers back when you only had a few subscribers even then I knew this channel was gonna be good! Maybe start filling in the gaps in the narrative timeline missing pieces of history or holes in the current historical narrative, between 1850-1940 a lot was erased & destroyed of the old tech I believe. 100+ years ago they had tech that you have to special order today or in some cases cant even get today like water powered automobiles, jetpack flying machines, motor powered bicycles that used water & electricity not gasoline, cell phones, harnessing lightning, they had tech that was destroyed then hidden from the public when the last reset happened somewhere in the 1800's. I think they may have cloned millions of children from European DNA put them on trains all over the world and claimed it was immigrants. Why are there so many old pics of trains full of children wearing businessman's clothes with almost no adults in sight. The old movie Pinocchio had some truth about child slave trade & genetic manipulation. There is a lot of truth "they" keep hidden because people would be angry if they found out 90% of what they learned of history is fiction or changed to fit the narrative.
It blows my mind there were hot springs in san antonio 😮 used to live by the hot wells motel which had a hot spring for years.

Hey Jarid, around 18 minutes in you mentioned Issa which I have heard mentioned before about Jesus's name given by Buddhist monks. Thought you may like that information. Take care
Regarding the condition of stone buildings: some could be attributed to the limestone.
I am not a geologist, but as an amateur sculptor living in San Antonio for 50 years, I have seen great variance in it. Some appears to be as substantial as marble while other (that superficially looks the same) deteriorates to powder in decades.
I live here in S.A. and you should look at the Helotes area north of town. Lots of Spanish land grants given and the families still live on the land generations later.

Ok so there is an emerging field of archaeological science known as lichen spore dating or lichenometry. Based on what I know, these photos of the Alamo and other Missions from the early 1800’s indicate that over 300 years of Lichen growth have deposited on many surfaces. Lichens grow extremely slowly, making a visible patch potentially over 80 years old. A 2 inch spot of grey stuff for example could tale 200 years to form. But in a low moisture desert, maybe longer…
The Alamo plus Texas and California Missions are easily 600 years old. Based on the exact nature of the architecture I am not entirely convinced that this is no younger than 1000 years. The really striking thing here is that these Missions seem to openly display Ancient Persian Architectural Styling. While strikingly similar to Greco Roman styles, the Persian Style predates and inspired both. This is quite disturbing, and may indicate an earlier Persian Epoch predating or paralleling the Mycenaean Cultures.
Now having grown up at the Santa Barbara Mission, Receiving my first communion there at 7, I have inside info on this site. My school, Marymount was around the corner. It is well known that the aqua-ducts and bath were already in place before the mission was allegedly built. The bath displays a lion fountain mouth that is strikingly similar to the Lions at Hattusa. It is also c commonly overlooked that the Hittites had concrete technology.
Amazing
I too find your post utterly fascinating & would love to hear more from you. Possibly a video even without pictures? I heartily encourage you! ❤. I do have a question. It’s about the comment you made toward the end of your 2nd paragraph… Why do you find the thought of a 2nd Persian epoch ‘disturbing’? (Do I have this correct?) I fully admit my ignorance of history around the periods you speak of, but I’m willing to learn. And I doubt seriously I’m the only one. You sound very knowledgeable & I might add - plausible from a gut level perspective imho.❤
I toured the alamo last year and off in the back corner was the 6x10 foot area they had excavated about 6 to 8 feet deep showing the older foundation. I think the official plackert even admitted it to some degree.
Specifically, if you are looking at the front of the alamo, the excavated area was in the front left corner. You have to go inside, past the lady wearing “period” clothes who sits in the rocking chair knitting stuff, then go through the next door to access the corner of the inside wall. That is where they had been digging.
The Alamo and the other missions look positively ancient! I imagine that the plain, sand-colored walls might have been decorated with colorful plaster and paint designs. They look bare, like there is something missing.
Also, I wonder if there are or were tunnels connecting all of the old world buildings in San Antonio?
Btw, what does "Alamo" mean?
Thank you, Jarrid! As always, the research, the pictures, and the presentation are all awesome.
Much love and blessings! 🤗❤️🩷💜🙏
Alamo means cottonwood. Came either from the trees along the river or an early garrison of solgers had come from a previous place named Alamo

When telling history, it’s good to read/study both sides of “story”. By listening to the account it seems that the story teller read the romantic side.. Juan Nepomuceno Seguin’s “A Stranger in my Own Land” is a good read and the Mexican side of the story is also a good read.
I agree, there’s so much more to the history of the Texas revolution and the Alamo.

San Antonio is an amazing find. I'm living here now and just realized the St. Mary's University downtown is an old world building!! I was so excited to see one right here. Many of the buildings downtown have an very old style of architecture, especially the cathedrals. I do wonder what the Old world Civilizations used those for cuz I don't think it was for worshiping our 'God'. I need to go an visit some more of the old missions here. There are like a hundred!
I just arrived yesterday dor vacation and I immediately noticed St.Marys. One of the real mind blowing sites is the old world McDonald's lol. The building has columns and a basement level. The opposite side of the building even has space for rent.
I did see a lot of older buildings on the river walk look mud flooded

Another structure worth noting is formerly known as the Hot Wells Hotel which use to be a spa late 19 early 20th centuries. Not near as old as the missions but cool back story nonetheless
we have a "Hot Wells" from 17/1800s here in Bristol (Britain)

Damn so San Antonio was a secret.. with great waters .smh we have trashed it.. I've always lived on the ss of s.a and I remember when u could go swimming in the aquaducts and fish and all that.. but now the water is so polluted u can't do that anymore..it's so sad .cuz I was raised back there in the missions and going down the trails..now with modernization they are changing the land and the trails... It's just sad to see, when u know what it used to be and how much ppl have trashed it.. I bet out ancestors would cry..smh
Wish it would have stayed a secret
Sadly most of all of east Texas waters lakes, and rivers have been banned from consuming the fish, almost the entire eastern side of the state from Dallas east north and south as far as I remember from reading in a report I found online.
Sorry don't remember where I found it, but I'm sure you can Google it and read about it.
The whole state from when I was younger, and traveled around working in different areas around the state has all changed so much that it's a wonder there's enough oxygen for everyone.
The hiyways are a nightmare between the traffic flying well over the speed limits, and the construction that has been basically nonstop since the 70's.
I've been taking the back roads ever since those days if I have to travel around the state, even if it means I have to go hundred miles outta my way to get somewhere.
Cry about it torta

My direct grandfather, Jose Antonio De la Garza was mayor of San Antonio in 1813. he had a coin minted after him. It was called the Jag coin.
wow!
Is your family related to the uber-rich Garza dinasty from Monterrey, Mexico?
I’m not sure if we’re related to them and more likely we are and my family should be Uber rich too they been trying to delete my family from history in Texas. My families pedigree has been certified by Baxter county court’s Texas comptroller owes my family royalties from all our patented lands in Texas.

There may be a chance to turn things around politically right now if you're willing.

Hey, close enough; we knew who you meant. 🙂
It may be of interest to you that Hopi Indians and Kachinas celebrate the same festival as we do the Maypole Spring New Year of Fertility. Dancing around the tree of life under the sun wheel.
What I'm suggesting is that it's very striking how widely this custom is spread around the world as if it were one world.
If the colors of a maypole ornament are blue and white, then surely the royal blue and white for peace.
You may be interested in getting involved in this topic. Greeting Robert ToFall
Tartarian custom

That’s what I noticed - the Celtic building similarity - like the stone towers & bridge structures all over the eastern seaboard of the US.
The builder of those structures will help you in the coming war, but first they need to open the seal. They are hidden files under sister Wilhelmina Lancaster last room inside the convent.
Part of Tartaria is what you’re trying to get to?
At 4:59 looks like ufos but it could be a glitch
