I can remember my Granny talking about her Grandpa taking her Mama and siblings down to the Worlds Fair in Piedmont Park (likely the 1895 one). They rode down on a wagon from their farm in Buckhead. It's really not hard to see how things could get done so fast in a world where people were used to building things from scratch and you didn't have reams of rules and regulations to wade through like you do today. I also remember her talking about playing in the woods off Morosgo Drive, which is now all lined with tall buildings. Every generation seems to think the world started new with them. T'ain't so.
Its interesting how attitudes and thought patterns change over time. I'm old enough that I can tell you how the people thought back then, and why they thought these world's fairs were a good idea, and why they were built on a grandiose scale, and why they were temporary, though often a few buildings survived long after the fair. In many cases certain buildings were designed and built as permanent structures rather than the temporary construction of the rest of the grounds. I could tell you, but I'm pretty sure you would not believe me, and I'm certain that I couldn't get you to understand their attitude toward life, that made events like these desirable. So I guess that the works of earlier eras will just have to remain confusing and inscrutable.
@@mickguadagnoli8779 Close. But that is immaterial. There were worlds' fairs up thru 1984, and they were all built the same way, and the people, up until at least 1970, still had the same attitude. There are still worlds' fairs, at least in theory. There is a group in Paris that regulates who can have a fair, and when, and last I looked they were still going strong. Just watching the images, I saw pictures of the Palace of Fine Arts from the PPIE in 1914, held in San Francisco. The Crystal Palace, which was rebuilt and many decades later burned down, was in England, not Atlanta. At least it was in 1851. Anyone wanting to find out more info on all the major fairs that were held in the 19th and 20th century can find books, published at the time of the fair, in libraries. They usually have pretty good descriptions of why people built them, how successful they were, and often their expected legacy. That won't tell you how people thought then, unless you can read between the lines, and these days, most people don't have the references to be able to do that. But you can find other sociology and government books from the same period that do describe the general attitudes of a given group of people at a given time. It just takes some digging, and being able to consider that frames of reference other than your own personal frame of reference might have been valid in a given epoch. Most people have a _very_ hard time doing that.
Great vid. Well presented & it's great when a well researched old world narrative gets challenged & also gets some 'boots on the ground' inclusion. We don't seem to know too much that can be trusted, from whatever was going on in the 19th Century all over the world it appears. Cheers from Sunny Australia
I wonder how many horse And buggies were used in the construction of these cities, and where the accommodation for the animals and men doing the “work” was staged, and how the materials were secured from the source and delivered to the site using buggies and carts without paved roads and still complete these structures in the time allotted by the narrative. No wonder academics get mad when these questions are posed.
Is the purpose of this video to deny that the account of history you are referencing is not true? i would compare the contruction of these events to what takes place in cities hosting the Olympics, but at that period there was likely not many other large scale projects taking place and they actually could assemble the resources needed. I believe there may have been a much stronger sense of pride in America at that time and people were proud and supported these projects. I do agree that it seems like such a waste that most of the buildings were demolished. Who would be behind crafting such an enormous amount of "lies" regarding these projects? You probably also do not believe that the Holocaust took place, right?
How can you not? All those buildings that still stand today, something we can’t do today, if they weren’t destroyed burned once or twice, every one of them I bet, how do you not question history of a country where people don’t swallow what their giving us today?
So you are locked into the narrative as provided by “historians” officially sanctioned and approved by the club. How scientifically invigorating that must be.
0:28 temporary….👌Would you just look at that- my goodness, what shame. Could’ve come up with a better story and kept the wonder. Loving it already, AAU..☕️🏛

I found a Cotton States Expo medal while metal detecting...thank you for the additional info.
Saw those urns a hundred times and didn’t know what I was looking at
Nice video👍🏼
👍👍
There’s a “crystal palace” still standing in Dallas Texas called Dallas Infomart
Ancient Crystal palace in the middle of Antarctica

How old are you?? The earliest ones were in 1850..and the one hes talking about is 1880...
Youre what? 120?

As a Native American I shall try some Ayahuasca and converse with my ancesters and ask what happened...need a sitter....
I bet native folk built it long before they “found & built” it inside 104 days.

Hope to see more videos from you. Really enjoy them
Thanks for what would have otherwise been entertaining and trying to debunk it. I'm sure you see a conspiracy in everything.
People worked harder back then

Red brick specialist. Must have known that it held electricity.

It is easy to find photos of the construction confirming they were built from wood and plaster with few exceptions... 🤣
No wonder they didn't tell us about this in history when I was in school in 70-80s...cause it seems laughable now that I hear the details.
The 1880s.. ancient?
Great BOTG!
