I’m from and live in St Louis City. My ancestors have been in the region since the 1750s onward. There is an aura in the city-it’s an old but rich feeling you would not expect in the Midwestern US and many parts of the US. And, the interesting thing is-some older intact areas of the city have layers of different materials for the street; granite, brick, then layers and layers of asphalt. Also, Similar to other cities that exploded in growth in the advancing industrial area, concentric rings surround the core with all the newest development at the far periphery. And yes, many exquisite old buildings, there is an edge (but you’ll be fine), you can live relatively well due to lower cost of living, coffee in the am/liquor in the pm, and we’re grumpy-chill. So go 80 or get out of the way.
Thank you for this video. My ancestor, I think great, great and maybe another great was a French fur trapper that traded in St. Louis (De Verger) and I love the history. He came down the river from Canada. Interesting. Thank you. I will look at the rest of your videos.
in the late 70's i attended Washington University in St Louis for one summer. i rented a room from a lady the did architectural drawings for the Preservation Society. They succeeded in preventing the destruction of buildings like the Sullivan building erected in 1891. In the same time frame i heard of someone researching for a book on Art Nouveau styled theaters in the USA from the 1920's. Loews theaters were an example. These very ornate theaters had interiors on a theme such as Egyptian or Jungle with breathtaking designs.
Sainte Genevieve is roughly an hour southeast of St Louis. Several of the photos early in this video were of men standing on the remains of the Big Mound. It was totally destroyed by late 1800s. Big Mound stood just off N Broadway at a very short street, Mound St. It was near where the new Stan Musial Veterans Bridge crosses into St Louis. Roughly five miles east of downtown St Louis lies Cahokia Mounds State Park in Fairmont City IL. Several large mounds still standing and easily accessible. There were also mounds on the Ohio River at present day Mound City IL at far southern tip of Illinois.
They used limestone for a lot of the buildings. When coal was in heavy use, soot and acid rain (from sulfur in the coal) permanently etched a lot of the stone. They tried to power wash city hall long ago, and just tore it up worse. Or short version, limestone is mostly fossilized mud, so yes!
Great research and presentation! What this points to is an angle not often addressed in alternative research communities: the role of the pre-US colonial nations in developing the old world in America. Were their legacies far more vast (& perhaps antiquated) than we’ve been led to believe, & yet erased from history when the land charters changed hands? That would certainly put the World Fairs in a whole new context, sandwiched between the industrial revolution/ new capitalist economy and the world wars after which sprawl, modernism and the international (ie globalist) project really took over. In a sense, reframing the old world in America as narrative fantasy before disappearing it for ever. Thankfully we still have these photos.
We should try to preserve the old world narrative for it is important contributing culture. Yet - History is a grand illusion and we must learn to connect.
The Big Mound downtown StL was destroyed, along with others within StL City Limits. But Cahokia Mounds just east of StL into IL is maintained as a World Historical site. It's beautiful and interesting to visit!
@ emilybaker6193 Cahokia (East St. Louis Illinois) and the Great Serpent Mount (Peebles, Ohio) are worth a vist. (Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes, insect repellant and water)
St. Louis was nicknamed "Mound City" bcause of that history. There was a 1920's or 30's jazz group named the "Mound City Blue Blowers" and among the businesses with Mound City in their name is the "Mound City Shelled Nut Company". I remember them being located in the Delmar loop when I was a childin in the 60's and 70's. At some point they moved west on Olive, but still in U.City, where they remain to this day.
the monks that showed up to st louis asked the tribes "who built the mounds?" and they did not know. so whoever built mound city was long gone by the time we started putting history to written record
@@Dyadactic The same kind of people who built all the old buildings and pyramids in Mezoamerica. Tribes similar to the Aztecs, Olmecs, and Mayans. They were short people. Not giants and their huge buildings are still standing. The mounds across N.A. are much smaller and poorly built in comparison. You don't need giants for that. Probably earlier tribes who hadn't perfected pyramid building yet before moving south. Or likewise, people who came from the south in Mezoamerica who weren't keeping up with the old building knowledge anymore. It happened to most ancient cultures. The Egyptian pyramids are so old, to even ancient Egyptians they were already old and never built that way again cuz the knowledge was lost.
I'm from not far from this area. There's unknown history that's been covered up. They have found giant bones in those mounds! Indians don't bury their dead. We have a history that we're not being told about.
I live there. I spent my college years volunteering to help catalogue the mounds. There are no giants buried there. Good Lord, we have enough issues here without making up aliens and giants. FML
You’re absolutely right, Robert Sepehr catalogued all the old newspapers showing stories of all the old bones found in the mounds to native Americans telling of what they knew about the mounds as well. Newspapers such as local to New York Times documenting what they have found in the mounds all across from Missouri to Ohio to Tennessee, his videos on this subject are fascinating and he shows the newspaper articles from the 1800’s as well so you can pause and read them.
You know, just recently I was looking at this strange mural painted on a wall in a Bank of America. It depicts a giants skeleton buried underneath a mound.
Stephenmw Why did you sneakily add aliens to giants Typical troll The bible mentions giants so if the bible is wrong and main stream history is wrong and we are wrong with our giant bone theories who exactly are you representing I guessed it Same old same old You people just keep spilling out this old narrative of nothing to see here and move along people and believe the boring old world narrative Big Bang right and now we can all go back to sleep we have an amazing real history
Visited St Charles and St Louis... loved it! All the people I met were nice and very courteous. Older folks talked about similar stories with buildings being built on existing ancient cities. The buildings were really nice and built with a lot of brick and mortar. I stayed at American Star Casino.. had a great time, wonderful hostess I met... and delicious food!

I’m here because I just went to St Louis, saw buildings that did not make sense and searched for this. There is NO WAY that their city hall was built in 1833 when the population was only ~6,000 people. It is COLOSSAL & ornate; as big as some of the more sprawling historic buildings in Paris and the rock used is heavily weathered to the point that it looks 500-1,000 years older than the oldest buildings I’ve seen in Europe. This is speaking from a background in geology. I’m not claiming to know the truth, just that the official story is hilarious.
Maybe you should have been taught that the "native Americans" were slaughtering each other , starving each other , and mistreating the Earth loooooong before the Europeans arrived

I can take you to 6 houses built on mounds in st.charles County right now. My dad and uncle use to dig teeth bones and points out of a houses basement that had a dirt floor. The Water treatment plant on the north side of O'Fallon is built on some big mounds.. they had a section about 1/3 of acre fenced off as the "burial" which was just bs to keep people happy but started building on it last year. When they scraped the dirt for the new building down about 2-3 feet there was 4 distinctive big fire pits black as coal perfect circles. That job was never shut down for architects to come in and investigate. Before hand I did see a guy out there with a sifter but he wasn't going very deep and I guess that was as far as the dig went. Sorry about the rant but I 100 precent know and agree with you that modern structures are built and continuing to be built on top of native structures.
The Walmart in Fenton was built on a mound and that was within the past 10 years I think. They are all over Missouri. But I think the most known invisible one would be Cahokia mound. Being a fellow St Louisin have you been to Cahokia mounds and checked it out yet? 💛 that place! Also, Washington State Park, back in the Missouri side, has a lot of mounds but it's pretty hilly in that area so they're not perfectly visible, but what really is its petroglyphs! If you haven't checked out Washington State Park and it's petroglyphs I highly recommend it💛
St. Louisan here. Great presentation and research. Hearing the names was funny because here we've Missourified them so much. Like Chouteau Ave is pronounced "Shoto" here
The Goldrush thing is in every country, it's a way to justify populations inhabiting all of the buildings that cannot be justified otherwise. Frisco did not start in 1849. Neither did anywhere else.
It may have been a gold rush. These abandoned building may have had so much gold in them and our ancestors are the pilferers (albeit mostly enslaved). Possibly?
The Cahokia Indian Culture lived in Southern Illinois. In S. Louis on the other side of the Mississippi River, they buried their dead. S. Louis is built on a massive cemetery for the Mississippi Indian Civilization.
@@dianahohimer1107I went on one there, I was in first grade I think, 76 or 77. Started my life long study of the People before Us. Been up Monks mound quite a few times. Kids to!
There are mound sites all the way up into kansas city as well as far out as lawrence kansas. The mounds In kansas city have not been preserved as well. The mississippian Culture was very expansive with a higher population than even london at the time. There was metallurgy And many Things that most people don't recognize a part of native american culture
I was amazed but not surprised to hear that the early French explorers "found gold" around the St.Louis area. My theory is that some or many of the buildings "found" had gold and other precious metals incorporated into their designs for purposes of electromagnetic technology based energy harvesting from the ethers etc. The finders of the gold stole the precious metals from the buildings and established themselves as the wealthy owners of these lands and buildings. The interiors of the buildings probably also had priceless artifacts made of precious metals that the finders stole.
Something fun to look up on RUclips. TY channels of people panning for gold in the Missouri River. And surrounding areas. The gold is still there naturally.
Spot on don't listen to the uneducated on your thread.they don't teach the old world in todays indoctrination factories(schools)grande tartarian empire...electric cars have been around since 1800s(OLD WORLD TECH) ELON MUSK is no genius all reversed old world engineering.. Do some research doughnuts 🍩
That Arch is like the Tombstone of the red-light district that was replaced by the Arch. That district is said by some to be the birthplace of the citified version of Blues music - the kind with horns in it, like BB King's. Also said to be A birthplace of Jazz music, along with other places...
In the 1890s and early 1900s thousands of arrowheads were found in East St Louis IL. Kids dug them up and sold them to collectors or Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show when they came through area. Not far from the Cahokia Mounds some think there was a major tribal battle at present day East St Louis which caused the Cahokians to leave the area for good.
Best video ever!!! I study this subject all the time since I live here ! Thanks 🙏🏿also many of the stories of them being destroyed are true but there are many more I have spotted that are not hills. So many still remain !!!
This was very interesting. I looked up St. Louis specifically because i sas some old photos of Bessie Smith the blues singer and I kept saying It looks like NYC! So I KNEW there had to be more to the story - and more still remains!
King Louis of France, they say. The St:Louis World exhibition was the Greatest of them all. As i know of.. Thanks Jared for exploring our real history.
Some of the old maps of 1500's have France owning half of north America lands all up through Canada and Spain owning the other half of America Lands with California being an island !! Check out old maps , will change how the rabbit hole was designed !! LOL
You're an absolute godsend. I would leave a longer more detailed comment but I just can't. Been binging your videos and good gaawwwdd.. My head is damn near exploding.
I’m pretty sure it would be easier to list the major cities that didn’t NOT have a catastrophic fire in the second half of the 19th century. Creativity was not a strong suit with the Narrative writers.
The pictures you showed of Eads Bridge were great! Would have loved a comment about it being the first steel bridge ever built to cross the Mississippi. I find those historical nuggets interesting. If you're ever in a tallish building downtown, take the time to look at the other buildings around you. So of the architecture and the building adornments are absolutely beautiful in craftsmanship & artwork.
I am a life long resident of St. Louis county and Twenty Three years a resident of the City of St. Louis. There is a lot bad, no doubt, But also a lot that is very good. I was a docent at Chattion - Demenil Mansion. Chattion was a French fur trader who built the original section of the mansion in 1849. The French loved parties and the Germans loved beer gardens. One garden remained in the mid 1980’s. Your pictures are wonderful .
Cities at the confluence of rivers like Kansas City, St. Louis, Cairo, Mounds City seems like they'd naturally have mounds. First, you need high places to put all your belongings when the floods come. Second, when it floods you suddenly have a foot of mud everywhere you need to put somewhere so you pile it up during cleanup.
When you said that there is photographic evidence of the "growth" of the city...my mind instantly wondered whether the "growth" was assumed, perhaps if there were no overlapping images then construction dates could be spread further apart to make it seem as if they were indeed building at some assumed rate!
These post-fire pictures have a distinct lack of burning on all the wood planks laying around. Not only that but the piles of rubble appear to be mostly wood, and missing all the brinks and masonry. Its as if the fire destroyed the bricks and only left the unburnt wooden frames of the building behind. strange.
Well it is known that previous civilizations had built buildings to withstand earthquakes .... So i'm assuming these events happened quite often in old worlds as well as re - starts ect. Similar events all evident in todays realm , thanks for your awesome narration of the stories and pics !!! : )
There are Pyramids in all the oldest civilizations. This seems to be congruent with the story of the Tower of Babel where their language was confused and they scattered into 70 different nations over the earth.
Old world accomadation for The BIG humans, our ancestors. Well spotted Nate Knight! Thanks, Jared for another fascinating unearthing of our true story, not his.
We have many shared names too like Casa Loma Euclid etc. Ck German culture influence like Schlafley and Lemp as well as surrounding nugget finds in places like Alton and Flat River
One huge thing strikes me. In all of these photos in Any of You amazing Explorers posts, there are NO black Slaves. Maybe a chauffer. Just Drawings. As the "Great fires". Excellent work.
There was a mason dixon line that no slavery was allowed. Plus it was usually done by the wealthy people and not ordinary people, yet all people of European decent in America gets blamed for it which if anyone looks up who the owners were and who owned the ships that brought people here it’s very revealing..
@@ashleewebster_ Thanks. I think there were black people on Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti...AIR-SHIPS. Spanish people went to Mexiko and The Old Panama canal down Chili.(Chile). Bolivians are The previous peple.
You must've amassed a huge number of pics now, I've seen so many of the 3d photos in your vids, you should do a vid with just the 3d pics when you have enough to last a whole vid. Put phone in cardboard vr viewer and you're there, almost. 😊
I so would love to talk to you about the 'mounds' / hills and plateaus and mountains of NorthEastern, Arizona, ancient world under our feet, these old Mormon towns did a great job erasing and covering the sites of history here.
I’m fascinated by the visual history of urbanization in the last few centuries. Is it at all possible for you to post the full images uncropped somewhere? Maybe a google drive folder? Just figured I’d ask, I’m always looking for photos of St. Louis through time.
Saint Louis also have been the center for German Soldiers who fought for Abraham Lincoln... And the numbers I found was almost 600k people! I wonder if the U.S.would have been without them what they are these days? And I know there is a club of people who keep this story allive. I already had some emails with them. Also by 5:30, I can see the company name "Heckel". The business owner was from Germany as well... If you check the house you can see by 6:00, you can clearly see the different kind of stone work. Why is it like that? Why are the corner pieces so big that it might be difficult to carry them with horse carriage logistics? Same to the foundations while other parts of the houses were added more cheaply? Well, this house is still better than the wooden houses build up later ... 6:52 Can you see the tram having any overhead wires? And - what is meant by "Two daily lines"...?
My home town! Excellent video. (French pronunciations are hard. Just fyi, Auguste Chouteau, in St. Louis is pronounced August Show-doh. Likewise, Chouteau Avenue is pronounced Show-doh Avenue.) Thanks a bunch!
I am an Indian now living in STL and always fascinated by history. I had the joy of watchong an informative video. Thanks.

Excellent. Right up there with the best. Thank you. Looking forward to next vid.
Jarid....this incredible work....it should be on PBS in every county in America.... WOW...... fantastic, go get um.....
St. Louisan here. Great presentation and research. Hearing the names was funny because here we've Missourified them so much. Like Chouteau Ave is pronounced "Shoto" here
And Laclede is pronounced Lacleed not Lacled.
Great video 👍👍👍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I WAS BORN AND RAISED THERE AND YOUR VIDEO WAS GREAT
St.Louis is a part of old-world technology. Where you find the moundbuilders you find that technology. That is why the buildings were so magnificent
The Goldrush thing is in every country, it's a way to justify populations inhabiting all of the buildings that cannot be justified otherwise. Frisco did not start in 1849. Neither did anywhere else.
yup, everything is on top of everything else... we just don't live long enough to remember it all.
That's what is going on now on a different scale with silver shortage for technology boom that is underway !!
often the mines are located many miles away too, just like the Cali gold rush.
Tartaria in the house
It may have been a gold rush. These abandoned building may have had so much gold in them and our ancestors are the pilferers (albeit mostly enslaved). Possibly?
Wonderfully presented.❤ Thank you!
Not sure if anyone else watching your videos is experiencing this, but I noticed certain sections are getting muted. : /
The Cahokia Indian Culture lived in Southern Illinois. In S. Louis on the other side of the Mississippi River, they buried their dead. S. Louis is built on a massive cemetery for the Mississippi Indian Civilization.
I remember going to the mounds as a girl, on a field trip:)
@@dianahohimer1107I went on one there, I was in first grade I think, 76 or 77.
Started my life long study of the People before Us. Been up Monks mound quite a few times. Kids to!
There are mound sites all the way up into kansas city as well as far out as lawrence kansas. The mounds In kansas city have not been preserved as well. The mississippian Culture was very expansive with a higher population than even london at the time. There was metallurgy And many Things that most people don't recognize a part of native american culture
I was amazed but not surprised to hear that the early French explorers "found gold" around the St.Louis area. My theory is that some or many of the buildings "found" had gold and other precious metals incorporated into their designs for purposes of electromagnetic technology based energy harvesting from the ethers etc. The finders of the gold stole the precious metals from the buildings and established themselves as the wealthy owners of these lands and buildings. The interiors of the buildings probably also had priceless artifacts made of precious metals that the finders stole.
Again where the people?
@@ralphhendrix6736 Bizarre!!
Something fun to look up on RUclips. TY channels of people panning for gold in the Missouri River. And surrounding areas. The gold is still there naturally.
Spot on don't listen to the uneducated on your thread.they don't teach the old world in todays indoctrination factories(schools)grande tartarian empire...electric cars have been around since 1800s(OLD WORLD TECH)
ELON MUSK is no genius all reversed old world engineering..
Do some research doughnuts 🍩
@Andrew Imagination is more powerful than knowledge. Einstein said that.
Great job on this video, I cant wait to see part 2 of the world fair!
love all your vids as they are presented and received in a relaxed way. :)
Love the questioning of narrative. Needed
That Arch is like the Tombstone of the red-light district that was replaced by the Arch. That district is said by some to be the birthplace of the citified version of Blues music - the kind with horns in it, like BB King's. Also said to be A birthplace of Jazz music, along with other places...
very interesting the riverfront area is still very red light like at night
In early st.Louis that’s where all the blacks lived where the gateway arch is today…. They destroyed a lot of black homes there to build the arch.
I live 10 minutes from that arch in Illinois side and 5 minutes from that Cahokia mounts
Wonderful video and presentation, looking forward to the followup..........cheers!
In the 1890s and early 1900s thousands of arrowheads were found in East St Louis IL. Kids dug them up and sold them to collectors or Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show when they came through area. Not far from the Cahokia Mounds some think there was a major tribal battle at present day East St Louis which caused the Cahokians to leave the area for good.
I'm still finding arrowheads. I have 3000 and ancient pottery.
@@billschatz2340
Ive found thousands too but in the rocky mtns.
The destruction photos show no dirty survivors, just well dressed inheritors. Cameras have to be much older than we've been told.
Best video ever!!! I study this subject all the time since I live here ! Thanks 🙏🏿also many of the stories of them being destroyed are true but there are many more I have spotted that are not hills. So many still remain !!!
Fascinating stuff bruh thank u for what u do..
Bruh........another fine example of our "education" system .
@@helbitkelbit1790 ok boomer
Looks like DEWs damage back then, and some weather control. Writing of such found in old newspapers. Great work, Jarid, much enjoyed.
This was very interesting. I looked up St. Louis specifically because i sas some old photos of Bessie Smith the blues singer and I kept saying It looks like NYC! So I KNEW there had to be more to the story - and more still remains!
King Louis of France, they say. The St:Louis World exhibition was the Greatest of them all. As i know of..
Thanks Jared for exploring our real history.
Some of the old maps of 1500's have France owning half of north America lands all up through Canada and Spain owning the other half of America Lands with California being an island !! Check out old maps , will change how the rabbit hole was designed !! LOL
You're an absolute godsend. I would leave a longer more detailed comment but I just can't. Been binging your videos and good gaawwwdd..
My head is damn near exploding.
“Never let a crisis go to waste.” -R. E.
I’m pretty sure it would be easier to list the major cities that didn’t NOT have a catastrophic fire in the second half of the 19th century. Creativity was not a strong suit with the Narrative writers.
Hello from St louis ,love these videos 💯🙏and it's true there are hundreds of Miles of caves running under the city 😀
The pictures you showed of Eads Bridge were great! Would have loved a comment about it being the first steel bridge ever built to cross the Mississippi. I find those historical nuggets interesting. If you're ever in a tallish building downtown, take the time to look at the other buildings around you. So of the architecture and the building adornments are absolutely beautiful in craftsmanship & artwork.
I am a life long resident of St. Louis county and Twenty Three years a resident of the City of St. Louis. There is a lot bad, no doubt, But also a lot that is very good. I was a docent at Chattion - Demenil Mansion. Chattion was a French fur trader who built the original section of the mansion in 1849. The French loved parties and the Germans loved beer gardens. One garden remained in the mid 1980’s. Your pictures are wonderful .
I’m from granite city , right over the Mississippi . I’ve been to those mounds thousands of times .
Having been born in St. Louis I have felt it to be a forgotten city, so thank you so much.
Cheers from New Zealand, appreciate your work
Were mounds made (lived on top of) as a response to previous floods, or just one really big one?
Interesting video, seems like a running theme, burning things down 🔥 Thx 👍❤️🙏
Another awesome video. Thank you! I noticed that in some photos that the power lines looked unscathed while the buildings were toothpicks. Hmmmm
Lots of great fires and floods. Thankyou
Your timeline description is unbelievable
💙 the evidence of growth☝️excellent, thanks Jarid
Cities at the confluence of rivers like Kansas City, St. Louis, Cairo, Mounds City seems like they'd naturally have mounds. First, you need high places to put all your belongings when the floods come. Second, when it floods you suddenly have a foot of mud everywhere you need to put somewhere so you pile it up during cleanup.
Nice all seeing Eye on the carnival float @12:36 !
Much luvs i am sending you Jarid !
When you said that there is photographic evidence of the "growth" of the city...my mind instantly wondered whether the "growth" was assumed, perhaps if there were no overlapping images then construction dates could be spread further apart to make it seem as if they were indeed building at some assumed rate!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing!
Great photos!
These post-fire pictures have a distinct lack of burning on all the wood planks laying around. Not only that but the piles of rubble appear to be mostly wood, and missing all the brinks and masonry. Its as if the fire destroyed the bricks and only left the unburnt wooden frames of the building behind. strange.
As a STL native I thank you so much for making this video.
Love your videos and thanks so much
Well it is known that previous civilizations had built buildings to withstand earthquakes .... So i'm assuming these events happened quite often in old worlds as well as re - starts ect. Similar events all evident in todays realm , thanks for your awesome narration of the stories and pics !!! : )
There are Pyramids in all the oldest civilizations. This seems to be congruent with the story of the Tower of Babel where their language was confused and they scattered into 70 different nations over the earth.
America is the original old world.
Dauphin Island alabama was the first capital of New France ( Louisiana Territory) 1699
Thank you for this vid and to all who commented below. So interesting.
As a St. Louis resident I used to live on the mound at StLouis Ave and I70 right at Hadley and 11th street, I use to wonder why it was so hilly .
Fantastic content thank you!
Don't forget Illinois across the river, becomes a state in 1818.
Fun fact: most of the kitty litter in the world is mined in Mounds, Illinois.
New subscriber Thank you for your interest in St. LOUIS. & Looking forward to seeing your interest in other Cities or whatever. 😊 🙏 🇺🇸
Wow great video! Can’t wait for part 2! Love and Blessings from Kingdom City MO!🙏🤗👍❤️
Cool. Love these v ideos,and those I f diff areas. Thanks!
TY 4 your work 🇲🇦
Peace.
7:18, look at the size of the two storefront window panes 👀
Old world accomadation for The BIG humans, our ancestors. Well spotted Nate Knight! Thanks, Jared for another fascinating unearthing of our true story, not his.
This was amazing. I am from St Louis and never knew this history.
Love the video. Just an FYI Missouri became a state in 1821 not 1820.
We have many shared names too like Casa Loma Euclid etc. Ck German culture influence like Schlafley and Lemp as well as surrounding nugget finds in places like Alton and Flat River
One huge thing strikes me. In all of these photos in Any of You amazing Explorers posts, there are NO black Slaves. Maybe a chauffer. Just Drawings. As the "Great fires". Excellent work.
Mason Dixon line was here. No slavery past it.
There was a mason dixon line that no slavery was allowed. Plus it was usually done by the wealthy people and not ordinary people, yet all people of European decent in America gets blamed for it which if anyone looks up who the owners were and who owned the ships that brought people here it’s very revealing..
@@ashleewebster_ Thanks. I think there were black people on Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti...AIR-SHIPS. Spanish people went to Mexiko and The Old Panama canal down Chili.(Chile). Bolivians are The previous peple.
@@ashleewebster_ WOW its YOU!! Ä. I HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR YOUR STAR AND LUMINESCENSE VIDEO IT HAS GONE 2-3 YEARS. MAGIC THANK YOU
@@lauralauren6432 awwwww you just made my day ❤️ that’s so sweet!! I’m so glad I saw your comment and posted 😁
You must've amassed a huge number of pics now, I've seen so many of the 3d photos in your vids, you should do a vid with just the 3d pics when you have enough to last a whole vid. Put phone in cardboard vr viewer and you're there, almost. 😊
Fantastic video ! I really appreciate it
I so would love to talk to you about the 'mounds' / hills and plateaus and mountains of NorthEastern, Arizona, ancient world under our feet, these old Mormon towns did a great job erasing and covering the sites of history here.
I’m fascinated by the visual history of urbanization in the last few centuries. Is it at all possible for you to post the full images uncropped somewhere? Maybe a google drive folder? Just figured I’d ask, I’m always looking for photos of St. Louis through time.
Mahalo!!! So Good! Really appreciate all your hard work
Sticks and Stuco!
Another wonderful video at the 19 minute markit looked like the bombed out cities were seeing today from the Middle East. What happened there?
1896 tornado
great video - all the rivers - great climate and fertile soil attracted the Indians
I was born and raised in St Louis and I've lived here 66 years
Saint Louis also have been the center for German Soldiers who fought for Abraham Lincoln... And the numbers I found was almost 600k people! I wonder if the U.S.would have been without them what they are these days?
And I know there is a club of people who keep this story allive. I already had some emails with them.
Also by 5:30, I can see the company name "Heckel". The business owner was from Germany as well...
If you check the house you can see by 6:00, you can clearly see the different kind of stone work. Why is it like that? Why are the corner pieces so big that it might be difficult to carry them with horse carriage logistics? Same to the foundations while other parts of the houses were added more cheaply? Well, this house is still better than the wooden houses build up later ...
6:52 Can you see the tram having any overhead wires? And - what is meant by "Two daily lines"...?
My home town! Excellent video. (French pronunciations are hard. Just fyi, Auguste Chouteau, in St. Louis is pronounced August Show-doh. Likewise, Chouteau Avenue is pronounced Show-doh Avenue.) Thanks a bunch!
Great researh Jared, what the hell happened the deception runs so deep WOW !.
Very cool! St. Louis represent
Outstanding work..
19:41, pretty wide doors in that residence to the right
