    What’s amazing is some people can look at these old structures and could care less about the past civilization.
    It’s going to take a miracle if mankind survives this reset in progress. The old civilization was obviously intelligent and got wiped out.

      You are right that past civilizations were more advanced. We are at the iron and miry clay feet of the "Statue of Stone" described in the Book of Daniel. Mankind has reached the "end of the line" in this world.

    It was just yesterday I watched a ghost investigation at a Ohio (i think) Prison where the guide said;
    Prisoners built this section of the Prison
    as she stood near the perfect masonry. 😮
    I wish more people had critical thinking skills.
    Why were the Prisons built like castles ? What do we build nowadays?

    I look for a new post from you every day. I have been with you since your first videos and it’s cool to see the channel grow. After watching Scranton I would love for you to do more on small towns. It’s as fascinating as the large cities. With your narrative, buildings and the census. Keep exposing any city that is worthy.

    Great journey, thank you. I also agree with your hypothesis. You should cover the senseless destruction of the Jessup PA area dams and pump houses, very close to Scranton. Similar construction and look, would have lasted another 100yrs until some conservancy conserved history right out of existence. 🤔

    Not sure about the circuit board theory - but - The thing I found interesting about Scranton is that when they were building it up... They brought in architects from all over the world. So there's all different styles of architecture in various buildings. Growing up there in the 80's-90's.... I never really appreciated it until I got older. I would walk past the Raddison Hotel and the Iron Furnaces almost every day and could see it (Radisson) from my house. Which... was a small old coal miners residence. I was probably one of the very few kids born in the 80's that had to shovel coal into the furnace to heat the place.
    (I'm surprised you didn't highlight the Raddison Hotel. Check out the history of the Raddison when you have a chance- I'd love to see a modern video done on the hotel. It was an extremely important building since it doubled as a train station and is made of limestone/marble.. etc. It was how people traveled to Scranton before coal became obsolete.)
    Scranton has such a bad reputation (some justified) but it truly is a shame because of how absolutely beautiful the city/town is. I hate seeing any historical building in Scranton being demolished.
    What a trip down memory lane this video was for me. It's wild that a lot of the photos you were showing were very old and yet I still remember these places looking the same in the 90's and even still to this day.
    Thank you for doing this short retrospective on Scranton PA. Always cool to see.

    hello sir great video!... at 17:21 if you pause the video and look at the arch way......really look at the arch and inside the arch..... the arch is definitely made of red bricks but when you look at the inside of the arch it has that "stone" look.....I think the arch is entirely red brick and they used some type of fake stone concrete...... geo-polymer.....whatever you want to call it and coated the bricks making it look like stone.....there are many spots in this video where it appears that there are random bits of stone over top of bricks etc and not where it was built over but where it looks like the rest of the "fake stone" wall covering has broken away leaving small bits that look like stone blocks on covering bricks...... It really looks to me like they use alot of different ways to cover brick structures ..... imo to hide the sheer size and immense nature of these buildings........ this video has lots of spots where it looks like it was damaged and people just jammed any rocks etc to fill holes so that makes it tougher to figure out too

    Another great post proving that we have many centuries of vast human intellect and skill all around us but no longer with us. There is nothing new under the sun. Just look at the automobiles from the 1940's and 50's compared to today's. Does anyone here really believe that anyone is going to care to even put a restored 2023 auto in a museum a hundred years from now? We keep asking ourselves how they did this rather than asking ourselves why we can't do this today.

    The more complex/intense classical stuff is great too, but the richness of the music detracts from the fascinating imagery, your interesting commentary, and the deductive thought process required to fathom these HUGE historical implications. Just my 2¢ though.

I believe something did happen before the 19th century, and evidence exists, but I can't accept where you're going with this, because there's no guarantee the locations like small towns ever contained these buildings. Therefore, you should focus only on places where buildings still exist. It's an adjustment that strengthens the argument rather than weakening it.
