40,000 Pound Stones in a Horse Wagon?! - Minneapolis City Hall
ฝัง

- At Minneapolis Minnesota sits a massive stone structure with individual stones weighing up to 46,000 pounds! Currently used as the City Hall, it's said that these stones were transported 165 miles to the site by horse and wagon during the 1890s and the entire construction was done in 4 years! In this video we examine those claims and the logistics of transporting one 23 ton stone over a distance of 165 miles with the water, food and rest that would be needed for a team of horses. How long would this really take?.... or is it Impossible?
People nowadays could not conceive of working that hard to build something that beautiful and complicated
Correct
The Minneapolis population in 1891 was only 430k. Why would they need a city hall that big? What other Govt offices were posted in this building? Impressive work.
I see 164,738 for Minneapolis census population for 1890 so even much smaller! (As if that is even reliable). Thanks for comment!
Dang, my bad. Gotta read instead of glean, you're right! My numbers are of the 2020 census. Thanks for the video.@@hiddentruthhiddentruth
@@hiddentruthhiddentruth I wouldn't be surprised the population was even smaller. I can draw any numbers on Wikipedia.
It was the beginning of the industrial revolution, they knew what was coming... I live in a city build 1860 forward, it was planned and called "high industrialization", almost all buildings exist even today....
It might have been easier in the winter with horse drawn sleigh, or work was slown down, it gets cold here in Minneapolis
The fact that there are no architectural drawings or any records of how such a magnificent public building was constructed, apparently only just over a hundred years ago, is highly suspect in its self!
They lost all that when they lost the instructions on how to build a space craft that could go back to the moon. 😊
@@chasethecat3839I want to know how they called a landline from the moon?
lmao

There are no drawings for the minuteman missiles built 60 years ago. does this mean nukes are a thousand years old?
there are photographs of this building being constructed. are they also a thousand years old?

Asked my 80 year old grandpa about these old buildings they were told masons came and built them left and they have no idea what mortar they used to hold the buildings together Guthrie Perry and Stillwater Oklahoma all have the same style buildings all going in the ground
I was born and raised in Guthrie Oklahoma. , lived there till I was forty . There is some weird stuff I know and experienced about the old buildings there . Also there is a vast tunnel system there , I have snuck into a little of it several times . And need I mention the largest Masonic temple in possibly the world is found there too .
My name is Stephen Guthrie.my grandfather Dee Guthrie. Our family is from Scotland ,and freemasons of the Scottish.settled Guthrie Oklahoma .now the family is in Tx for the most part ,and I now live in Alaska .
The family motto from coat of arms is latin .STO PRO VERITATE.( I stand for Truth)
NEVERE under estimate the Free Masons!! They have been studying and building with stone wayyyy before the 1800'S
@@paulchannel8868 - Need a temple to keep track of all that Free Masonry. ;-)
The smooth 165 mile dirt roads probably helped tremendously with the transportation part of the entire process
lmao I love your humor
let's just face it yall, social media and climate change just has us dumbed down, we'll never be able to recreate these structures in our time because we lost the technology to build them and telemetry data /s
Especially during winter and heavy rain and snow.
Thats not part of the narrative....lol'
Have you ever heard something about railroad?
Winter helped as well. 4-6 months of winter, 2 months severe(cold as -20 in Feb). So theoretically, the 4 years should be reduced to two or three years at most of workable time.
In every single town, in every single state!
Same Story everywhere you go!
Great job my friend! Boots on the ground,.. LOVE IT! Thank you for ALL YOU DO AND GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
'Masonry' is a religion, NOT a construction technique or building material. The term "block mason" or "brick mason" was cooked up just like "mason jar".
I'll give ya 2 guesses who cooked up those terms.
Okay got me Who???@@maxwellsmart6601
The free:) seen similar in Cinci and here in Phx, AZ too
Every single nation all over the world!! Literally, every continent, including Antarctica!! Ya, definitely a little more going on here than we've been taught.....
WHY are Americans so surprised at this archetecture?
Don't they know America was colonized by EUROPE - surely Americans see the resemblance...
You’d think we’d learn way more about these magnificent constructions in history class if we truly built them, we would be proud and want to show them off not hide them…
That's an excellent point. There should be huge amounts of construction information, drawings, photos etc. The lack of these indicates things are being hidden.
Admitting that. Would force them to rewrite the official storyline.
Which they're not going to do.
They don't want you thinking about it or asking questions. The fact that they are more advanced already throws a wrench in their lie and it's about giving you a place holder story in your mind for what really happened. Horse and buggy people with out cranes did not build faster than us with less time, and with less population. if you do believe they did ypu probably will believe anything.
Absolutely! Not only that. If they truly built all the buildings that are said to have built in the late 1800s - we would also learn about the incredible effort that the entire country would have had to put together to supply all the building materials for these thousands & thousands of courthouses, churches, factories, post offices, schools, librarys, etc.. Like there would have to have been a window factory in every county, a steel factory, brick, concrete, wood, organ building factories, brass, copper, nails, screws & soo much more. After years of this research you start to see just how many buildings they say were built in a 50-60 year timeframe. You see things mainstream historians miss - as they usually focus on certain regions or subjects - anything but actual construction or the like. There aren't these factories, there aren't these stories of EVERY single persons great grand fathers, every able bodied man that wasn't a farmer would have had to have been in a factory making building supplies or working construction to pull of this sheer scale of construction that is said to have went on. That's before adding the elements of no power tools, proper transportation or limited transportation of building materials, horses needing 10+ gallons of water per day & the absolute ORNATE details & the fashion/building style of these structures that just frankly look like something a different civilization, a high grand one built! These workers went home to wood shacks & lived by candlelight in the primitive way we are told at historical societies. & Then traveling to work to make these Greco roman structures that look like ones from Europe built many hundreds of years earlier!!? People don't build in styles that are hundreds or thousands of years old out of nowhere after building wood shacks. It's just bonkers nuts crazy. : )
They will only teach us what they want us to know. They were more advanced than we are in the past. They built great buildings, and many other things on this planet with fake stories of how it was done. Then they just reset us again. Just like they are talking to day.
Love this. There are too few of us that see reality. I look at crazy stuff similar to this in Milwaukee a lot. Also, try checking the old newspaper archive for a 5 year period surrounding when an amazing building was supposedly built, and you’ll find no mentions. This was especially obvious for Milwaukee City Hall, the world’s tallest building when it was built in 1898! And none of the local papers mentioned it!
Yes
When I Pass through Milwaukee I'm amazed at some of the old buildings and churches
They're tall and magnificent
I'm from kenosha but live in upper Wisconsin now.
@@soundmind69 I hate how they’re slowly but surely still pulling them down. Several years back one of the such churches you mentioned had a “mysterious fire” and I watched it burn. So infuriating! They did “renovations” on City Hall recently that lasted about 20 YEARS and cost an ungodly amount of millions. Funny how it takes two years to build the tallest building in the world, but takes 20 years to renovate it 100 years later at 100 times the cost.
Once many years ago a flew into Milwaukee for a conference weekend...All I could think of was WOW...what an amazing old city...my jaw hung down as I walked around thinking WHAT THE HECK...no one ever told me about how beautiful this city was...and I kept thinking something was off....had a weird feeling even while there...running around on the beach and into a small park...looking at the old buildings in awe. Now over 30 years later...we have begun to put pieces together, intuition is something we should not ignore...ever.
Now think about it.....all that tonnage. How many thousands of tons that building weighs ok. And it's not shifting. Has no cracks from foundation giving away. I ask what is the foundation? What is underneath the building supporting it that it hasn't moved/shifted in all these years. How far does it really go down?
Building is only as solid as it’s foundation. Bedrock? The original ground level?
very good point.
Good point. The stones in the foundation must be ginormous. And how deep?!
Great question?I'd guess it has to be built on solid rock. But it has reminded me of the churches with deep tunnel networks under them.
@@gary5799
Has a massive Freemasons lodge below it.. So definitely has tunnels, just us mere mortals wouldn’t be allowed below 🤫✌🏼
Another great video!!!! Good work!!! This is a superb example of impossible architecture that clearly shows that there is hidden/suppressed technology. The stories we are told about the construction of these marvelous buildings is a pack of lies.
This was supposedly built when we were barely out of cowboy and Indian days. There are never any genuine construction photos because it would show the machines and methods we are not allowed to see. How did they excavate for the foundation for such a massive structure??? How did they really transport and lift the stones?? We have been deceived about our history.
Satan the father of all lies has been at work for a very long time
I'm convinced it was poured polymer, not stones cut and transported from a quarry. Nevertheless, this is a stunning work of construction engineering. The angles, transitions, and fit and finish are incredible.
Well, I don't know. Perhaps at that time there were some ingenious architects and builders not to mention excellent artisans who took great pride in their work.
It can have been there for a thousand year. It's stone. So it last for a unlimited time.
it would show signs of weathering
It’s actual granite. This becomes clear from the closeups of the veins of aggregate minerals therein. It’s MAGNIFICENT! The masons here had hardened steel tools and the advantage of having been quarried and shaped during the industrial revolution of the late 19th century, which afforded tremendous advantage over those who were responsible for much older megalithic, granitic constructs. Just bloody tremendous.
What an incredible structure. It is spectacular and I very much doubt that it could be made today.
Why can't it be produced today?
@@1neAdam12We wouldn't be able to produce it *exactly like that* today. The perfectly fitting, circular massive stones, etc. Ask any stone mason today if they could do that and they'll tell you no way.
What’s more even unbelievable is,
The stuff in the joints isn’t technically “mortar”. It’s just a bead of weather and friction sealant preventing ice and water from penetrating due to the cooler climate as the natural stones do not need or require any mortar or bonding agent when the cuts are so precise on such a material, allowing a near perfect, durable, stability.
I appreciate you pointing out all the amazing little things about this fantastic building! It is a piece of art and genius to witness, I think it even helps my mind expand! I moved some bricks a few blocks in a truck and almost lost a transmission and axil..... it was close!
The city hall in Milwaukee looks similar.
I would wonder about things like that and why the people who built them didn't document their story, or take pictures of the wagon trains filled with lumber and stones it would have taken to build them.
I wondered why writers like Mark Twain who would write about anything astonishing and amazing, were there to witness the building of San Francisco and Virginia City, New Orleans, Chicago, etc. and they never had anything to say about it.
mark Twain would write about the minutia of the difficulties, verging on almost impossible and difficult to endure, like riding a stage coach, and the inconvenience of having to ride a horse, but he never mentioned the thousands of wagons filled with lumber and stones that must have been everywhere at the time.
He visited the Mormon Tabernacle shortly after they began construction of it:
"The Salt Lake Tabernacle, also known as the Mormon Tabernacle, is located on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, in the U.S. state of Utah. The Tabernacle was built from 1863 to 1875 to house meetings for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church)"
But he had nothing to say about the thousands of men and wagons filled with stones undertaking such a gigantic and ambitious project. All he talked about was the difficulty of giving a child a yo-yo when you have seventy-five children, and you have to have a box full of yo-yos to hand out.
it seems almost incredible that a man who would comment on almost every human folly and question every excessive ambition, and find some way to call every large project foolish or amazing would have no observations about such a herculean task from people who had only recently settled there.
"No sooner do a bunch of Mormons arrive at their desert location after being chased from the United States, and fighting Indians, and nearly dying on the planes, than they set about building a giant temple, and transporting stone and lumber from far away."
He would marvel that they didn't plant gardens first, or at least build an outhouse for the workers.
Everything people wrote was carefully edited back then.
I think they knew what they weren't allowed to write about.
Whole pages would be slashed out of their manuscripts if they mentioned old buildings or construction.
Even when it must have excited much admiration - either for the building projects or the buildings.
I think like Ancient Rome in Europe, everyone knew the buildings and ruins were there.
Only the Indians were honest about it, because we have records of them saying they didn't build the buildings - they were just there, and left by ancient builders. Today, we presume they were only talking about pyramids in the jungle, but they might have been referring to buildings all over North America.
The Mormons seem to have looked at an old map and found that there was a cathedral in the middle of nowhere that they could take over as long as they got there before anyone else.
Most people weren't interested in going to the middle of nowhere, when there were plenty of nice buildings easier to find and in better places, but the Mormons were being persecuted, so the middle of nowhere was appealing to them.
There are several levels of below ground construction.
When Mark Twain visited, I believe the temple was in the early phase of construction, so the writer would have commented that they dug a huge hole in the ground to build the first several stories below ground.
Or maybe he was used to seeing people start construction of buildings by digging huge holes in the ground, so the first few floors could be under ground.
Anyway, it beggars the imagination that they did such huge projects, but they had no inclination to document them, or to boast of their accomplishments in construction.
They would have crowed to Europeans, who gave up on building such structures hundreds of years before, that Americans could build more cathedrals than all of Europe in all of its history, in a single year, or a few years, with no more than a few tools hauled in covered wagons, across distances that Europeans couldn't even imagine.
They have Notre Dame, but look: America has the Mormon Tabernacle, built by a bunch of cowboys while they were fending off Indian attacks. And a million other cathedrals and railroads and canals were being built by America's small population in an area almost as big and empty as Siberia and Russia combined. While America was fighting wars.
If we were still as productive, we would all be living in palaces made of cut stone.
Why did we stop building like that?
A question I kept asking when I was a kid, and I never got a satisfactory answer.
How did we start thinking ugly buildings were better?
American character seems to have completely changed.
Countless stone masons and builders suddenly decided they didn't like their jobs and they wanted to build ugly buildings out of wood, or steel and glass.
Why were there no comments on the millions of people who suddenly decided they didn't like their craft or their profession?
Don't people usually kick up a fuss when someone shuts down their industry?
The controversies would have filled the papers if you laid off a whole sector of the economy.
There would have been tragic novels about the broken and impoverished builders and stone masons, like mine workers, laid off when the mines closed. There were stories about the men who worked in mines.
Something is certainly missing in the big picture, and it is the explanations of those buildings and the men who built them, and what must have been their efforts to gather the resources. Wagons full of stones would have outnumbered wagon trains by the hundreds, and Indians would have attacked them. There would have been stories of trains of wagons filled with logs and trains of wagons filled with stones that needed cavalry protection.
There would have been forts at the quarries and near the woods along the supply lines for building materials, and there would have been records of the soldiers dispatched to the forts.
Politicians would have been making speaches about building better roads for the forty-mule train monster wagons.
mark Twain did tell a story about some Mormons who agreed to haul some lumber for some non-Mormon settlers, and how they quit when it became too dangerous and expensive, but the Mormon leader forced them to complete their work at their own loss because they had agreed to do it, and they were not to break their word.
It is interesting that Mormons were hiring themselves out like that when they must have needed every man to build their own temple, and also interesting that they couldn't estimate the cost of hauling logs when they must have been doing so much of it.
it just doesn't add up.
It's hard to search the literature for what people didn't write about, but I bet there are clues there too.
I heard Mark teain was just a fake name and person
so when people ready these stories it spoon feeds you all you need to know about this subject, same with old western movies and civil war photos where everything looks staged. They had to create false stories to complete their plan of deception.
People get caught up in the scale, precision, complexity, & craftsmanship of these buildings. Not to mention the beauty. We do not think of all the hardened steel tools, saw blades, nails, & screws needed for a project like this and the manufacturing need to produce all those things. It goes to a completely different level.
Excellent quality captured a lot of detail. It's truly amazing looking at these master pieces with the eyes to see them for what they are and how they don't belong in our timeline.
Divinely constructed
The only logical explanation is the one no one thinks about.
Yes. People with glorified bodies.
Or with better technology than we have today.
@@itellyouwhy6957 same thing
It would certainly seem so!
Perfect craftsmanship, and why would we lose the ability or desire to make something as beautiful of significant? What happened? It’s hard not to admit there was some reset or falling away from knowledge/ skill. Amazing time to be alive and thank you for helping figure out the true history!
No, I think you can partially blame people who think like accountants. Bean counters. No sense of workmanship, pride, building something for the future. These days if a building stands for 20 years it is considered old and will most likely be torn down and another crappy building replaces it.
What happened is people moved away from being a nation of God. This was all driven by the Christian religion and those building were built with and for the glory of God.
It's all by design.
In fact, one of the planks of Communism is to stifle man's creative potency by making architecture bland and uninspiring. Even artworks in public spaces were deemed to be shapeless and dull.
The city hall here in Cincinnati has the same kinda of stone with the same timeline for construction
You can easily lift a brick and put more mud or make up the level on the next row.A little dip in a few bricks won't ruine the over all appearance.
But theses beast need to be placed very carefully on precise beds the first time. Must have used thin steel frames to create gauges to float off the mortar. Moving the block once it's on the bed is not an option. Moving huge blocks would spoil the bed. Whoever built these types of buildings were VERY GOOD.
Overwhelming! A world where this is the only kind of architecture is the world I want to live in!
I am always suspicious of a carved date in a stone building.
Some of the old smoke stack chimneys in the North England are magnificently detailed structures. One of these masterpieces has parapit stones atop weighing in at 7 tons each. I don't think anyone has ever explained how they got them up there.
That was not the "horse and buggy era", it was the railroad era.
So where was the railroad that went right to the site?? and where did it come from.... The quarry itself perhaps?
Very true, and rail technology has been around since the 1500. Even if animals are used rail makes for way easier pulling.
It still required men to load from quarry to train and unload train to location (even if temporary tracks were built to the location it needed moved to a specific foundation or place to lift it to the top of the building). Using a horse drawn buggy. Small stones to large granite of 6000 lbs. Over and over and over and....
@@orneryoccultist9680the point is
The buildings are older than we are told
Could be from 1500 rather than 1800
I commented on the main comments how the guy that founded my town said there were already people and buildings but because they had permission and money to basically steal it all, they did.
It's possible trains could have been used. It would still be a monumental effort. my thing is that there are rarely photographs of any of the construction sites. In this case i have never seen any, and wiki now says that it was constructed over 17 years. So , no construction pictures of it over a 17 year period except for the roof. try not to laugh.
The Duluth Central High school is the same thing, no construction photos except for doing the roof .. Just a co-incidence though.
My theory is that many buildings were here already and they were simply taken over by the old black nobility of ancient blood lines who sent scouts out to locate the buildings when they started coming to America. exampl, is Lewis and Clark
My husband is a mason. I love showing him these structures and telling him what yr and how fast they are said to be built. He just laughs. Says no way!
I actually just looked up pictures of this place being built and they do indeed exist. You can see the huge stones hauled on wagons with fat, flat, wheels by horses and mules. The largest block of granite weigs 23 tons and caps the basement access entry. Just gotta dig a little. It wasn't built all at once. People added on for decades.
"Back before the current city hall officially opened its doors, Minneapolis’ court house and city hall were in separate buildings. The first official courthouse was located on 8th Avenue S and 4th Street while the first city hall was on Hennepin and Nicollet where Gateway Park currently sits. During the first two decades of Minnesota’s statehood Minneapolis grew at a very rapid rate. Because of this, the need for a larger courthouse and city hall quickly became apparent. In 1887 the state legislature assigned a commission to work with the city and Hennepin county to jointly construct a new courthouse and city hall.
The firm that was tasked with creating this new municipal center of the city was Long and Kees, who also designed the Lumber Exchange Building, the Flour Exchange Building, and the Masonic Temple, now the Hennepin Center for the Arts. The firm’s signature style was Richardsonian Romanesque as it was one of the most popular styles in America in the late 1800s. This style can be seen in almost every city that saw success during that time. Cincinnati, Toronto, Salt Lake City and Fort Wayne all have Richardsonian Romanesque style city halls.
The Minneapolis City Hall began construction in 1888 and it took three years for the first “cornerstone” to be laid. Since this ceremony happened three years after construction started, the cornerstone is actually thirty feet above ground level. To make the timeline of construction even more confusing, the building was officially competed in 1906, although the county and city had been using it for about a decade already. During that time serious court cases were being conducted in the building, and the last execution in Hennepin County happened in the 5th floor attic in March of 1898. Some say John Moshik still roams the halls.
The building itself was not intended to be made completely out of granite, but once the citizens of Minneapolis saw the beauty of the Ortonville red granite, they petitioned for the entire building to be made out of it instead of just its foundations. This contributed to the lengthy construction time, as some of the stones weigh more than 20 tonnes. The final price tag for the new city hall was over $3.5 million, or almost $99 million in today’s dollars."
😂😂😂
How did they lift these 23 ton stones without crains power tools or modern equipment any photos of that?
So after the architects already had the foundation laid, they had to completely overhaul the materials/master plan for the rest of the project because the citizens liked the look??? ...seems legit.
Sounds like a good story….
All that talk and no links? Come on man!
I live in Minnesota. One thing to note about construction times up here - during winter, at least 3 months but sometimes as much as 6 months, the ground is frozen solid & avg temperature will be near 0° F...so there's no way this was being constructed year round. The 5 years in actuality was at most 4 years due to the extreme winters we experience. Quite the accomplishment.
1891 official data - even into April it was still below freezing in Minneapolis, just for reference.
and mortar needs warm weather to set..
When constructed, the building claimed to have the world's largest four-faced chiming clock. At 24 feet, 6 inches (just under 7+1⁄2 meters), the faces are 18 inches (45.7 cm) wider than those of the Great Clock in London (which houses the famous hour bell Big Ben). The tower housing the clock reaches 345 feet (105 m) in height, and was the tallest structure in the city until the 1920s when the Foshay Tower was built. A 15-bell chime in the tower is played regularly, with noontime concerts provided to the public on holidays and on Fridays and certain Sundays during the warm months. The chime was originally 10 bells, and it was first played on March 10, 1896.
That building is amazing. Anyone thinking this was easy construction in any timeline needs to find an asylum quick.
When I was in 5th grade we took a field trip here from a small town, and it was the first time I seen a big city, and skyscrapers, and this building was just so massive to me. It blew me away.
The ingenuity of these old timers were impeccable. Horse & buggy on dirt (muddy) roads, block & tackle, these men were some of the greatest no doubt.
They didn't build it. They inherited. They have no idea who or how it was built
Thanks for the vid. I noticed mortar joints on some corners, which suggests facades were used. Corners would be inherently weak if not composed of singular blocks, IMHO.
This building closely resembles the style of Windsor Station in Montreal I got to know as a kid. That was the HQ and main station for the Canadian. My Dad ran a while floor of office types in the station, so I frequently visited the building, alas not with a critical eye.
The building still stands, even though CP once sought permission to demolish it some time ago.
I love it when they call these buildings “post office” 😂😂
Those horses must've been better than modern 18 wheelers to carry those blocks 😂
Incredible craftsmanship. Couldn't afford to build this today. Maybe a billion dollars. Craftsmen like these are hard to find.
A billion dollars wouldn't build that...
You’d need more than a billion dollars. And I don’t mean money I mean sound/frequency tech and giants

Horse and cart Official US military testing 1920s. They tested what a horse could pull on flat surface and found a horse can pull its own wait 12 miles a day on avg. So 900lb horse, 450lb cart, 450lb bricks. Avg 8lb per brick equals about 50 bricks. And that's why there are no photos of traffic jams of horse and cart hauling bricks😉
great comment!
did they test oxens?
Now figure out how much water a horse needs per day
If you think a horse can only pull 50 bricks you have lost your mind. I can pull 50 bricks by myself.
@@joedoesfun9336yes but you as we all know are very macho . These stones came from 160 miles away . Pull hard that’s not far for you is it ?

HOLY BUILDING that is fricken amazing
What an incredible and beautiful piece of art. Certainly not built by our actual civilisation. A great amount of these buildings have been destroyed by wars,and fires,as if on purpose. Makes you think that our history is not what we learned. We have to rewrite it again.
you can literally google "Minneapolis City Hall Construction." And there are tons of photos of it being built.
For sure, what we learn in school is mostly lies or distractions away from what’s important. I remember trying to find HOW the Houses of Parliament were built. Nothing
Who built it then?
And the war's you mention, end with the deaths of millions of craftsmen.
It looks like a castle.
I always loved Mark Twain because I could sense how devilishly clever he was, and he seemed like a decent man, despite his reputation.
He was a liar and very proud of his ability to lie and misdirect.
But he told truths in the form of anecdotes and stories.
He also told a story about newspapers, in the form of a story about how dangerous it was for a newsman to say anything critical about a mine someone was trying to sell, even when he knew the signs of a salted mine. That is, a mine with gold sprinkled around the surface somewhere. A newspaper man would be kidnapped and killed if he printed anything that the people paying for the newspaper didn't want to see in it. Editors could disappear too. Men who were selling things didn't want to see the truth in print.
Writing truth was the most dangerous thing in the world, so a writer had to be sneaky.
He had to speak in parables that people would not understand unless they thought about them.
he knew he couldn't write about the Mormon Tabernacle, which was either already standing, or supposedly under construction.
So he wrote about a case brought before the god king of the Mormons, who wisely settles it, like Solomon, about Mormon contractors too incompetent to haul some logs for the railroad.
People would wonder how they hauled a thousand times as much material and built an architectural wonder of the world while they were contracting out their excess labor.
And they still had to buy hundreds of yo-yos for their kids.
How much of the population was playing with yo-yos at the time?
In their first generation of settlement?
I still wish I could re-read all those books I've read in my life, because even when I knew an author was being clever, I didn't always know how or why. His contemporaries might have been able to read between the lines.
I was curious about what he had to say about Chicago, where I was born.
I was astonished to find, once I could search it on the internet, that he had almost nothing to say about Chicago, though he might have attended the Chicago World's Faire, and he had probably at least read about the fire.
He only said that he had travelled through Chicago a few times in his life, and it was always an astonishment.
You would think that a man who liked to exaggerate so much in his writings would have exaggerated a little about Chicago, but it must have been beyond exaggeration.
Maybe his skills as a liar weren't creative enough to explain Chicago.
Maybe he knew it was dangerous to talk about a city with so much antique architecture.
Maybe there was hard core reset brain washing going on in Chicago, and anybody who claimed the buildings were already there was locked up in one of those mental institutions. Most people were new arrivals, who barely spoke English, and they would believe the official stories.
Mark Twain would merely call it an astonishment, and it is still an astonishment to people who research the World's Faire.
Some fine thinking there fella. Thanks for provoking our thoughts.
You may think this is crazy but a cover up of this proportion I feel God Himself somehow had to be involved. For what purpose I guess you'd have to ask Him yourself.
Amazing. What a beautiful building. I visited Vancouver Island last year and saw the British Columbia Parliament Building in Victoria, the stones here reminds me of that building. One thing I find interesting is recently I saw a renovation photo of the B.C. Parliament Building where the outer facade was actually removed and it was all red brick underneath! Pretty interesting.
^ we have a winner....I bet most of that building is simply facade. The inside is red brick.
Ancient world reset. Great job Sr.!!! Hugs from Argentina !!!.
can't tell me there wasn't some supernatural technology going on here. this type of construction was EASY for whoever did it.
We've definitely lost something, and that in our fairly recent past.
Tataria.... I've been a builder over 40 years and worked on building and homes, barns, you name it. Yes you are on the trail and trial of seeking. This type of construction cannot be reproduce today and on top of that the tradesman today don't have the no how or passion or pateice to do or try to find a super or advisor to comprehend a process from beginning to end. Forsight. Good luck, you will also find melted rock era or white wash over the clad... spot on
Remarkable! Thank you for giving us the close up...
Makes me shiver in awe at the sight!
People did have Way better building skills back then
Something we've lost over the years
But what always bug's me is if these buildings were built in the time line they say
how did they haul the material and how many animals oxen horses exettra would it have taken plus they would have definitely had to buld special beefed up heavy duty wagons
No these places leave way more questions than answer's
Could the rail roads have transported the granite? RR lines had terminals just blocks from here.
Actually there is a picture of the cart with the 23t (50,700 lb) basement capstone from Ortonville quarry.
That would be pulled by a 21 mules hitch, or 15 yoke of oxen. They would go at a snail pace, and it would take many weeks to arrive at the building site, but they eventually get there.
A 20 tons objects is the average lifting capacity of most modern building cranes too. Nowaday offshore cranes lift up to 10,000 tons. And it's just the one stone, it's not like the building is made entirely out of 20 tons block, after that it's just a 1 ton block big lego building.
@@aryafeydakin thank you for some clarity.....
This is beyond "building better". This is another tier of forgotten knowledge.
It's funny that they have the construction plans for the old basic square buildings that were supposedly made the same year.
I've worked at stone quarries. I think you might be underestimating how much men working together can accomplish. Very impressive but men were real men back then
That's a billion-dollar building!
Amazing channel, keep it up. Me and my home schooled son are learning so much.
Where do you tell them where the people went to and how was it repopulated?
Perfectly Cut Stones without Electricity Tools??? I smell horse Manure!!! Great Job Brother on your part. Remember every brick had to be brought in by horse and buggy??? Like I said,... Horse Manure 😊😅😊 We've All been lied to. ...
I love this style of video with a closeup tour and explanation of the stonework
Were onto them! ❤ Give us the free energy!
In Duluth MN we have several buildings said to have been built in 1890's. Old Central high school, Old Carnegie library, Jefferson school, Pilgrim Congregational Church, Spalding hotel just to name a few. The population back then was about 13,000 but quickly grew.
I live in Duluth, Minnesota as well. And I'm also researching these matters. Are you aware of any other buildings in this area? I want to make some boots-on-the-ground research to add to my content that I already have up because I think we have some good buildings in this area.
You should check with thee Hennepin County Historical Society. They will have pictures of the construction. In the 1890's Minneapolis was a railroad center. I suspect the building stone was transported from Northern Minnesota to Minneapolis by rail.
There's always a story ... and sometimes pictures which when looked at closely then just raise more questions. Pictures from the time are always blurry when the technology of tintype was ultra high definition. Background skies are blurred out, shadows don't match...etc. One has to examine closer than looking at a picture for a second. Also as said in the video the history given is horse and wagon. Not railroad. Railroad doesn't remedy the narrative even if it were used. These are gigantic perfectly cut boulders/stones. There was wood at the time to build things that would have been manageable.
You should link up with "my lunch break" channel. We have been lied to about everything including our history. Once your eyes opened, you cant go back. Great work mate. Keep showing us these magnificient buildings that we couldnt even build today, even with our "advanced" technology.
Read some books on architectural history, the city hall is "Richardson Romanesque " style. A good history is by Alan Cowans ; Styles and Types of Noth American Architecture.
My Great Uncle was a stone carver for Wausau Monument Company in 1900 they had pneumatic carving tools.
Oxen can pull their weight, 1,500 to 3,000lbs. If they’re trained well they can pull 10,000lbs in short bursts, like 4 to 8 ft. So a team of oxen pulling 6,000 lb stones.
And ox are specially bred and trained cows. And there was a reason masonry has been so revered over the centuries, and details of their craft even kept secret. It’s amazing what mankind can do, especially in the past when there was great pride in work ethic and skill.
Awesome; In Every Way!...Another Great Take!...ThanX, Again, 4 Sharing! Blessings, & Merry Christmas, r.j.
Back in 1994 the 4th floor housed the Hennepin County Jail. I spent a week there. That building is so haunted.
So so amazing! Thank you for this up close video! Just found your channel!
The 1891 looks like it was just added, like vandalism carved into the stone. Same as people wud do to a wooden table or a tree trunk.
The original architect wud never do that to his own design. No way
The number 1's look like a different font, maybe 89 AD...
It is almost neolithic, but in a smaller scale, the technology is similar to ancient technology. I had never seen this building, thank you for making this video, have a good day!
I really enjoyed this! Thank you for your time!
It would take 53 days under perfect conditions for a 20-horse team to deliver each stone.
If you want to know how these things were constructed just listen to what they say because whoever says is telling the truth because people don't lie and make things up ever.
Murphy wagon had a straight box. A Murphy could comfortably haul between 1,800 to 2,200 pounds.
There is a guy on TH-cam who carves stones and back then a lot of people would have had that skill compared to barely anyone today. It's amazing to watch him make perfect stones. Back then people didn't have the distractions we have today and men were much stronger. There were a lot more horses too. I can see it happening. No one had their phones in their faces so a lot more could get done.
Then why not disclose these numbers and have photos and names of these artisans and cover it up they should be proud and have statues ofthese craftsmen but they dont...
This is an oversimplification. Cell phone culture thinking at it's finest. Consider the excavation, the scaffolding, the hoisting of heavy objects. The lazy approach is to chalk it up to greater numbers of tradesmen with higher skill levels and apparently greater strength as well. When you come to realize just how much of this construction was said to have been done across the continent at the time, the bottom falls out. The simplest conclusion is that the timeline is a lie.
Are these buildings proof of Christ’s 1000 year reign?
Yes.
Good point, I always felt an angelic type vibe from most of these old world buildings.
I have that same question. With all the old history beginning to be coming out . All of the old pictures of empty streets, horse and buggy the orphan trains the star forts . The Antediluvian world prior to the flood . It's obvious that we've been indoctrinated into a society full of lies and deceptions and we all suffer from amnesia like where we really come from and who we really are.
Where is he, I was under the impression it would be with a rod of iron and he would be physically present
@@drivventodrumm1you're not looking. Open your eyes.
let me guess.no construction photos and even if there is one or two they would be heavily doctored like most old photos
Thanks for your work . I appreciate it.
I'm in Alberta Canada ,and the city I'm in had many buildings like this , but not as big . Most of them have been torn down now ,and we are supposed to believe that a little over a hundred years ago a bunch of farmers built these buildings ,and then a couple of generations later we tore them all down?????These are the kinds of things many of us never gave a second thought to ,but now our collective cognitive dissonance is wearing off ,and we are questioning these ridiculous narratives. Some day I hope we will find out about our true history ,and heritage.... Are these the remains of the "fabled" Tartaria? Is everything we been taught lies ,and partial truths.....? It's certainly beginning to look like that.
Incredibly beautiful building, a testimony to the skill of builders of old.
Mind boggling! Perfect engineering and precise fitting!!
Very nice video, I have been passing this building on my way to work for the past few months and have been taking pics. I have been taking pics of all these kinds of buildings around the Twin Cities and have noticed a pattern: faced off emblems and signage areas. At 1:00 in the video this is a perfect example of stones having been faced off and replaced with embossment. I am also seeing some fire damage on the right side of the triple arch doorways. This place got seiged.
Seriously impressive workmanship and scale of work.
Incredible structure! You said it all. Thanks for taking us there.
Wow the Cambridge MA city hall was built in the same year 1888-1889 and uses the same type of stone work, it's only a 3 story bld and much smaller but looks a little similar.
You know they did have steam power in the 1890’s…. Not just horse power!
It's irrelevant. The craftsmanship is beyond our "advanced" capabilities.
Even if steam engines were used, the transportation of those blocks to the site and moving into position would have been impossible.
Our civilization could never build anything of this quality and scale at any price.
We have CNC machines to do it now. But for some reason we don't. Lets wait until the cabal are finished first then when we are free ten thousand of us each with a CNC machine in our home garage making a block a day. We'll change the skyline in no time.
There's a matching house over on Groveland Ave, just on the other side of Hennepin Ave. I wonder if at some point it could have been like a carriage house for this building. By matching, I mean it's the same material, cut and stacked the same way, it's an obvious companion structure. I've been inside both. The house is a gallery and dairy farming office. Very unusual layout in both. It's safe to assume the tunnels would connect them that run underground. I've been in the tunnels all over the twin cities, just not at these particular locations. They go about 350' underground in like 7 layers. The deeper you go, the more sophisticated they get. The deepest are polished brick arches that have the raised point in the center. They blend naturally formed tunnels and man-made.
There's other mansions in the area that seem from the same Era or from similarly trained tradesmen.
Are there any historical photos or films documenting the construction of this building?
That is BEAUTIFUL! So massive! Wow. Incredible Architecture. I'll bet this bad boy was standing in 1700.
reset every 140 years. We are due for 1 now.
138 yrs... 2040 is nxt
Very interesting detailed and independent observation! Thank you for this video.
These buildings were placed here as part of the simulation. Imagine a Medieval Tycoon game with an empty pallet, and you allocate different structures here and there to create your own unique kingdom or village. Same idea, only on a much larger scale.
read The Bible ..........its ALL there! ........"there were giants in those days"
EA sports...its in the game?
Metal plates are used as joints between the blocks, visible in your video! That's the same technology used at the sea wall around Fort Point San Francisco.
Metal plates?
Many of these large buildings were pulled down after just 60 to 70 years. Why? What were they trying to hide from future generations?
Over 200 buildings were demolished in Minneapolis in the 1960's.
Very awesome vid. Thank you mate!!!
Thanks for sharing your time. Great video
Wow!!! Stunning castle-like architecture juxtaposed with modern brutalist architecture. Thanks for posting this!
I was reading about the founding of the town i grew up in
It was said that some dude on a canoe floated along the shoreline of Lake michigan checking out different land his rich friends and such could take
Well, there were already structures and people living there
But they were basically forced out by "laws" and money
Eventually he brought all his rich friends to take over the land. There was a sculpter who created a ruin of a tower that is now displayed at a park in kenosha but was said to be designed after ruins found in lake michigan
Ruins that to me appeared like they were from a big structure, very castle like.
The sculpter also said the library has a vault downstairs she qas granted access too in this beautiful library where they keep accursed stones...
Cursed stones.... what
Amazing. Thanks for posting
The main thing I gather from all these different channels is we've been lied to about everything. People in power have no right to be in power. Old family money was stolen from someone and they keep staying in control. It's sad. Love the channel though!
I have a thought! Now hear me out and don't kill me, lol, but what if it's a different type of stone and the surface stone was done by using molds? Look how perfect everything is, and almost exact. It looks like a mold was used.
Yes, it certainly could be a geopolymer
@@JJ-Toreddie concrete or geopolymer would still need to be made of ground up and sifted stone and who knows what else, highly processed. Wouldn’t be much easier.
Geopolymer
Yes -- I see at 7:40 several matching blocks that suggest molded geopolymer blocks.
Yes, Similar
