    Every time I see buildings like these I find myself speechless. I can't even wrap my head around the amount of work and talent that must have gone into them. They're just mind-boggling. Notice no one ever steps up and says hey, I can do work like that?! lol Great video!

    Great video of Salt Lake City! My hometown. If you are interested in seeing what one of these buildings look like under major overhaul renovations, there is a video on RUclips from 1989, that documents the two year demolition and re-construction efforts, on the old Salt Lake City/County building. The contractors, go into detail, about what they found, and what challenges they to overcome, to put this place back together. They did more than just a decent job, and the place looks amazing today. The quality of the video is not very good, but I have never seen a piece, that goes into the kind of detail this does, as to how these places were built, and what they were built of. "Amazing" doesn't cut it.

      @@oldworldex No.. There was Scaffolding up on that building for years, but they had run out of money and really did more damage during the 70s, and early 80s. In 1986 (I think) the city got a $30million bond to do the real work. It took about 2 years, and it was re-opened in 1989. It really helped the town, in a lot of ways, to bring that building back to it's glory. It was no band-aid job they did either. It is stunning. They even re-carved and replaced, many of the sandstone sculptures on the building. It is a guarded on top, by the Goddess Columbia.

    I know the narrative doesn’t sound right but my direct descendants came to America from Manchester via LDS in 1850. They owned and operated an iron foundry in England and were brought to start one in Cedar City (Iron County)UT. The Mormons brought tens of thousands skilled laborers that built UT not for money but for community and God. They did receive land. I’ve read the division of parcels. I’ve read handwritten accounts between my descendants and Brigham Young. I assure you, the master masons built those beautiful buildings in that time frame. They did it because they believed in the church. Most people see it in terms of money and competition for resources and that’s why it doesn’t make sense. Men worked and Women took care of the family

    It's funny because they built houses with basements in Utah, with windows below the ground level, my dad was a home builder and that was normal at least in the 1970's and 1980s. So when I first heard about the mud flood and windows being below ground level I was like "well they build them in Utah like that" and then later I realized why and I suspect it's because they thought that's how the had been built previously so of course it made sense

    • @oldworldex
      @oldworldex  2 года назад +4

      I lived in Idaho Falls north of Salt Lake. The ground freezes in the winter to a depth of 3'-6" +/-, to be safe the foundation could be as deep as 4 foot. Once dig out that much you may as well dig out a full basement.
      And salt lake is not that much different, the frost line is about 31".

    Nice pictures but your narration was very vague and non descriptive which leaves the viewer confused as to what the point or purpose of the video is supposed to be. Rather than guide the viewer down an interesting rabbit hole you assumed they knew the whole story behind a mud flood and the relation to that and architecture and it just leaves the viewer confused and totally oblivious to the story and timeline you were trying to convey.

    Great pictures and beautiful building but the narration shows a lack of research of any kind of depth. The "telegraph" (or not) lines had to telephone lines. A 10 second search found that there were 1200 phone subsribers in Salt Lake clear back in 1900. The Mormon Taberancle is still standing (the low rounded roof near the temple). The history of the temple bulding and Saltaire and other buildings is pretty well established. While I may disagree with the Mormon religion tennants they were/are really good at keeping records.

    your dumb comment about poles, ever head of electicity? it did exist in 1890. the stone wall was made to go around the temple square. That's why the eagle structure which exists today is there. You're gonna need to get into the inconsistencies of the temple btw you can'tjust flippantly just say "oh yea it's inconsistent" My ancestors participated in the construction of the temple. Along with the temple up in Logan Utah. It's not that far back. You seem to not realize that it took 40 years to build which means they had been in the salt lake valley for 50 years basically at that point. Well the announced the temple really shortly after they got to the valley. Did everyone just kinda ignore that it was ther for 50 years until theyfinally announced it was finished? there's plenty of evidence that the foundation had been buried to hide it from the US Army when it came to town which slowed the construction down. I'm not talking about just pictures I'm talking about written accounts. What about the fact that literally right now they are completely remodeling the temple? The whole thing is being set on a new foundation and completely redone. Look I get that it seems hard for you to understand and I am extremely sad that not all these buildings made it through the 40's and the big car era but sheesh dude.

    The idea that the people of the American west couldn't have built these structures is hilarious. No one is trying to trick you with a "narrative". There are thousands of first hand accounts of how, why and when these structures were built. These theories always discount how fast the western united states expanded during this time period. The transcontinental railroad was just completed in the Salt Lake area, the height of the industrial revolution was happening, the gold rush was brining thousands of people out to the west, the Civil War had just ended and the entire country was in a prosperous time.
    The idea that some lost civilization built this stuff while discounting mountains of facts and evidence is ridiculously stupid, or blatantly dishonest at best.
