      I noticed the same thing, however, if you look on Google earth from the coast of Maine, to Flordia, through the gulf states to Texas, as well as the west coast, all look like this. Either canals or roads. You'll notice most beaches have the initial area you can go, but directly behind there are "marshes", where when one looks on Google earth they will find 180 degree angles, tons of squares and triangles. Seems like large swaths of the world are quite literally terraformed.

      I notice that not only in New Orleans but many many places around the world. There are a couple of Jonn Levi videos where he discusses the street layouts of major neighborhoods that don't exist now but once did. Some of these places may have partially survived while other parts clearly don't exist now but obviously once did. The present day engineers obviously took advantage of the previous street foundations in some of these places.

    My home, born and raised, still living there today. Jackson would've stood 0 chance in the war of 1812 had he not the help of Jean Lafitte and really Dominique You his half brother. Andrew Jackson reportedly said that he "would storm the gates of hell with Dominique You" whose gunmen were some of the most accurate and efficient at the time. Great exploration of the city, its true that the bulk of the old world buildings are gone, but the ones that remain do help carry on that old world vibe. I specifically loved the fact you had the Lakefront Airport in this video. I live in the marina thats literally right next to the airport and not only see the building daily also have been inside and all around the whole property on numerous occasions. I remember the first couple times going into it and was just kind of taking aback by its beauty and uniqueness. It still has the old self operated double cage door elevator which is something I make sure to use every chance I can when frequenting the building. I've looked for a few years now but can't seem to find any of he remnants of the old star fort walls but I'm sure there is something left and I've got a few spots still to check. Overall even with the tearing down of many of the old buildings in the city, it still has that aww inspiring vibe you get from being around old world architecture and its one of the things that has kept me here for all these years. I just keep coming back and will always have some of New Orleans within me and vice versa...

    Love this! Re: the fires in 1788 and 1794. A building collapsed in 2014 allowing excavation of the lot and they found remnants of the fires. My theory on why the French knew that New Orleans would be a major city was because it already was. Bulbancha was an important place before the Europeans came.

  • @BatteryH1862
    @BatteryH1862 3 месяца назад +2

    The various forts around the city were built after the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Designed by the Engineers of the US Army (West Point was primarily an engineering school), getting the logistics to build these was quite simple. The position of the city allowed easy supply by water, from either the Mississippi River or by ship from Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Water transport is still the cheapest means of transporting bulk materials, so even if the bricks couldn't have been made locally (they were) getting them there was child's play as opposed to travel by wagon or early railroad.
    In fact, it was this position near the mouth of the Mississippi that made New Orleans so wealthy (and able to afford all that beautiful architecture). Shipping goods started with the beaver pelt trade and was the reason the French founded the city where they did. If you note, much of the Louisiana Purchase is land drained by rivers that lead to the Mississippi - the primary trade route through middle North America. This holds true today, New Orleans is the largest agricultural port in the US, where barges of grain head down the river and are transshipped onto ocean going ships.

    • @Restitutor_Orbis_214
      @Restitutor_Orbis_214  3 месяца назад

      Simple logistics because the bricks form themselves, walk into the boats and then walk off into the perfect position? You are missing several key points of the supply chain by just going with the waterway explanation. What you refer to as child's play is too difficult and expensive to do today with this cool thing, we have now called the highway system that they did not have "officially" in the 1800s.

    I used to work in demolition. About 30 years ago the green belts around major UK cities made it very profitable to buy one big old house with a decent sized bit of land with it, pull it down, then build as many homes as could be squeezed onto the space. Whole neighbourhoods would go, one by one unique houses built from brick that was always laid in anything other than stretcher bond, would disappear to be replaced by square blocks of flats (Apartments) with square, flat roofs. People who had slogged their guts out their whole lives so they could live in a nice house in a nice area found themselves living next to multiple families on benefits which would make everyone else sell up. It can only take one bad family to ruin a street but once the decline starts and the area gets known, only the worst will want to move there. So in just 30 years beautiful, unique and very well built houses with hard working and honest owners have gone to be replaced by some who are just unfortunate, but mostly lay abouts, addicts and dealers, living in tiny homes that have no soul and no character. The worst thing is in the last few years I have come to realise that this was all probably by design. For one of the most desirable places to live in the entire world, with decent and respectful neighbours and virtually no crime to crime ridden, filthy and overpopulated by the dregs of society in less than 3 decades. Quite an achievement

With a flag made today, if it’s made of a satiny material with a rich gold fringe it does signal something. That it is an EXPENSIVE flag, suitable for the Governor’s office.

Due to the airport' s position on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain it's always had a nautical vibe for sure. It is still operational today but not for a lot of commercial flights, mostly smaller planes with pilots working on specific certifications on different planes. I've seen large planes land there including c130s and a vast array of military aircraft as well as mid sized passenger planes. It has a lighthouse style beacon in the front courtyard that is known all around due to its use by the local watercraft, myself included on many a dark foggy night.

      It’s not a fort remnant. In the 1960s there was a plan to build an elevated expressway roughly along Decatur Street, between the French Quarter and the river. This was insane, and would have prevented much of the tourism the city now depends on. There was a huge, years long effort by preservationists to get the expressway canceled and the effort succeeded, one of the few cases where people fought City Hall and won. The tunnel was part of this plan, and it was to take traffic underneath the Central Business District then up to connect with the expressway. When the expressway was canceled, the tunnel had no further purpose, and was abandoned.

    Just the fact that there are so many old Oak Trees that are arranged in rows along infrastructure says the city is way older than just a few hundred years. There are Oak Trees that are said to be over 900 years old, although a bigger majority of them are around 6 to 700 years old.

      What I'm implying is, just like the guy who made the video is saying, is that New Orleans has been here way longer than they tell us. Maybe it wasn't called New Orleans before the Europeans (as we were told, but there were already all kinds of people here, white, black, Asian, Indian, etc) came, but there was definitely infrastructure and also many old world buildings of (what we now call) Greek/Roman/Tartarian architecture. The reason why they say they "founded" a city is because they literally found it. We can't claim to know exactly who built it, but we can say that the mainstream narrative dribble is probably not accurate. I mean, why else would there be 700 year old live oaks planted in perfect rows along some of the streets? Something doesn't add up...

    Most of those buildings you showed with the towers were power plants. The columns had iron bars in them to conduct electricity from the magnets. They were some kind of great reset. I am not sure what happened, but all of a sudden, the people who built those buildings just disappeared. I was looking at the Custom House on Canal Street .How could they have built that in the 1800s with no machines, only horse and buggies, hammers, and chisels?

    NOLA is the old world city that i have spent the most time. I fell in love with the place during my first visit. People told me it was a stinky dirty place and i always said only if you are staring at the gutters and smelling the dumpsters. The infrastructure from Canal Street to Jackson Square, the first thing that i saw was the massive size and epic amount of details that was put into these buildings (and this was long before i see things the way i see them now). Back before Katrina it was a great party destination. The vibration of New Orleans isnt like anything i have experienced. I suppose San Francisco and LA are the two other old world cities i have frequented (pre-2020) that have similar but very different vibrations to NOLA. Much of the inherited infrastructure was spared in this city only because its one of the supposed oldest "found"ed cities in America. Im sure it has allot to do with the port at the mouth of the Mississippi which made it much harder to cover up any intentional destruction of these buildings. The trolley system is still fully operational and the cars are suprisingly huge.
    (off topic) i have seen 3 recent videos of antique-tech around the world (recently) firing off. One of the videos shows the way the spinning of silver mercury in a spere actually creates an electrical charge. So if these globes at the top of the antique-tech contained mercury, im pretty sure if the can produce a charge, they could also broadcast a charge as well. Another thing i found was the cymatics of these giant stained glass windows in these "cathedrals" are what we think they are, basically a cymatic signiature of the BELLS that were installed the bell towers, the demonstration of the cymatics compared to the design of the windows was so perfectly identical it left zero doubt in my mind . Its starting to all fall in line the more that i see. I'll post the links when i go back and find these clips.

    What you are implying is, frankly, nonsense. It was indeed literally a swamp before the French and Spanish created its beautiful colonial buildings. The star-shaped fort around it was made of wood, which is why there are no traces of it now. And yes, the artists' renderings are often not accurate. New Orleans was once the richest city in the U.S. due to cotton, sugar, and steamships, so why is it hard to imagine that so many beautiful, old-world or European-style buildings were constructed, especially since there were so many Europeans still there? There are many historical records that prove all this, such as newspapers, public records, and diaries of all this construction, so it's hilarious to think otherwise.

I thought it added another dimension to your video - one I enjoyed very much. Apologies if I wrote my comment in an insensitive way.

    You know, in all of these giant beautiful cities, laid out in all of their perfection, I would bet you dimes to doughnuts that just about every square inch that was not bricked and or concrete for getting around, it would have been a great and beautiful garden. And yet, it looks like every blade of grass has been destroyed, completely. Did the " all powerful Mudd Flood " wipe these places clean ? You'd think that the big old growth trees would have survived.
    And yet it looks stripped, devoid of anything green.
    Some of the birds eye view pictures seem to show plenty of greenery. Just seems weird.

    The two hemi circular star forts that abut Lake Pontchartrain would have been outfitted with cannons to attack ships that were attempting to enter port during a siege. But of course their locations are not dissimilar to lighthouses or towers that would have abut similar port styling in older civilizations. Basically if you have a city that is on a lake or port or near a river that can be defended with a "gate" or defenses then it probably should be.

    How do these “great fires “ start? Someone left a burner on in the kitchen while cooking beans ? Definitely those fires are direct energy weapons in my opinion.

      Burner left on, cow kicked something, random misfortune. There seems to be a very intentional aspect behind them.

    I believe the Star Forts were ancient battery powering stations. I live in the Detroit area &:you can clearly see from the aerial photos of Old Fort Detroit, I mean the Detroit International exposition which was in the 1890s, you can see how the star fort was directly connected to the larger Fort. Detroit did not have a world's fair but instead we had a world's International exhibition which ran for 6 years, I believe from 1889 till 1895 when it was allegedly torn down. Now that area today is a heavily polluted & industrialized area called Zug Island. The star fort is preserved but its impossible to get down there because they are building a new bridge to Canada, I wonder what that's all about....😅
