These "secret" passageways are most likely built for Servants, in order that they can carry out their duties without intruding on the Master's carryings on.
Tunnels under the capital and White House used for trafficking. I will leave it there. Research and if those buildings are destroyed by some act of terror, you will know why. We all have been lied to. Our history scraped. We must learn the truth.
You should take a look at Malta, most villages have EVERY street's houses cellar connected either by passages or simply doorways. Most, but not all,, of them built as protection against the Luftwaffe.
Correction, Louis the 14th was the Sun King, not Louis the 16th. Under Louis the 14th The Palace of Versailles was expanded from a hunting lodge to the Grand Palace that stands now.
In the Vanderbilt Estate the room off the Library was actually George Vanderbilt's office. I have seen the room. It has only been opened rarely and has never been renovated. Today it is just an empty room.
@@rickleroid Actually, He doesn't own a stake in the estate. He is a 2nd cousin to the Cecil family(grandchildren of Cornelia Vanderbilt) that owns the estate.
The Petit Trianon was “found?” As if! That doesn’t even qualify as a stretch, since it has been a singularly visible feature of. Versailles since it’s construction.
Strictly speaking the doors in the Biltmore estate are not secret doors. Remember, in 19th century it was customary for doors to blend in with the rest of the walls so that, when they were closed, the room's walls were uniform. This was the esthetic. To my mind, a secret door is only significant if it leads to a secret passage. BTW, I'm glad the Vanderbilts decided to open part of their home for tourism. Not only is it sensible, it shows they respect the great work of old-world craftsmanship enough to preserve it and to share it with everyone.
At 23:15 - Louis XIV was "The Sun King", and the monarch that made Versailles into the magnificent palace that it is. The narrator calls Louis XVI "The Sun King" and gives him credit for Versailles' opulence and grandeur. If you're going to comment on accomplishments of the various medieval monarchs, you should at the very least know to whom you are referring. For future reference, Louis XIV is generally regarded as the greatest monarch in French history, while Louis XVI is regarded as one of, if not the worst. He famously lost his head, along with his wife Marie Antoinette, during the French Revolution. Louis XVI was also the grandson of Louis XV, who was likewise the grandson of Louis XIV, who was the son of Louis XIII. And thus ends today's history lesson boys and girls.
Just my opinion, but IT’S NOT A SECRET PASSAGEWAY IF IT HAS VISIBLE HINGES AND A DOOR KNOB!
Sure, but think - statistically, how many doorknobs did you count?
Youre bound to guess inaccurately

Agreed! Camouflaged, maybe. Inconspicuous, definitely. Secret? GTFO.

There's so many more underground tunnels both in the WH and vatican that you didn’t talk about...
He's scared
Correct
Louis the 14th was the Sun King, not Louis the 16th.
The image you show as George W. Vanderbilt ii is that of his nephew, William K. Vanderbilt ii, known as Willie K.
Secret passage ways are cool 😎!
I’ve been to the Biltmore and it’s incredibly gorgeous
I stayed at the Biltmore in OK City, OK once. Old, but with a certain elegance to it.
So what, my shuttle back to the mothership is parked under my lake. The flight to the L3 parking area takes about 3 earth days. 😊
I park in M13, my travel is 5 earth days🥹😆😆
Wow it must be cool to own a lake ❤
I have a confession. I once peed in your lake leaving it temporarily purple…sorry

And the fact that Anderson Cooper is the Vanderbilt who still owns this Mansion is an absolute riot.

19:05 is a historic photo of when Bush was informed about 911and he didn't do or say squat for a extended period of time while he was in a classroom.
I agree some places have secret places but the people usually figured it out eventually but yeah I agree with the white house theory 😊
You are cool 😎
Are some of these just ... BASEMENTS ?
Incredible building

Louis XVI Was the King they beheaded in the Revolution, the Sun King was LOUIS XIV
Vald did his best! And his spokesperson has confirmed he never stayed there.

Versailles didn't exist during the reigh of Louis XI and The Sun King was Louis XIV

Louis XI came two centuries before Versailles.

Its called the Builtmore because they built more than they needed Glutinous
The first Rule of "War Room" is not to talk about "War Room"!!! 😂
The vatican is rumoured to have an underground complex and tunnels that rivals some city's subway systems!

Wtf your title is wrong secret no if the public know it's not a secret learn English or don't post clickbait is very annoying
There was never a Byzantine Empire.
The Roman Empire in the east ended in 1453, when the Turks captured Constantinople. Might as well call it the Byzantine Empire.
Yooooo
