My Trip To Philadelphia City Hall (Architecture... not about red tape or parking tickets)

- This is the ONLY fun way to go to City Hall. In all other respects, it's a "red tape parking wars" hell hole." Brandi (mentioned in this video) had her car towed the first hour she ever set foot in Philadelphia and then spent the evening trying to get the car back. Most of the TV show "parking wars" is set in Philadelphia for a reason!
All oddities, inconsistencies, and flat-out lies aside.........my God, are these structures ever beautiful.
They are very beautiful & should be preserved!
And they don’t even come CLOSE to what’s already been torn down.
The cathedral in Cologne is nuts. So massive.
I’m an architectural technologist, so my job is to specify and drawing buildings. I would say the production of the drawings alone would be a master undertaking, even with modern cad programs. Every detail would require sections, plans, interface details, there would be planning drawings and then construction drawings and all of that applies to the interior also. Let alone managing every detail of its construction. It’s a mind blowing structure and the ability to build such structures is beyond our thinking today.
Whoever built the Philadelphia City Hall, gotta admit it's an impressive piece of architecture
Probably not human…. Or not humans like way we are now. Land of the giants people think there was giants in the past would explain building of “impossible architectures”
Or it’s the matrix.

My husband and I like to travel the states. We have visited almost all the state capitols. I have often asked how they were done. Kentucky's capitol is impossibly beautiful. On the bluff with all that marble. We also visit civil war sites and Indian mounds. They are almost always together. That fact is not lost on me.
You’re right about KY state capital. I toured that one as well as Indy.
Desmoines is coated with gold leaf. Why?
@@lindamatus4429 It's my favorite by far. I could not make sense of what I was seeing. "How did they do it" was all I could say. The floral clock outside was simply amazing. Their landscapers are top notch.
Harrisburg PA capital building is also very beautiful. Worth a visit to see it.
I remember when I was still waking up in 2008 visiting Philadelphia for our backup datacenter site to practice a real downtime event. I never cared for architecture really or anything but getting wasted really during this time. I remember getting a Johhny Walker Blue and sipping it as I gazed at City Hall for at least an hour or two. I remember thinking what an impossible building how could we build anything like that by todays and even less convincing was the 1800 build date for it. I remember thinking just ONE of those statues that adorn it could take a man a lifetime to do and there are dozens of statues. Definitely one of the most impressive buildings I have ever seen in person including my trip to Washington DC. I have traveled to a lot of places in the US flying weekly at one point and nothing has ever made me as awe inspired as this particular building thank you for making this video!
Supposedly built in 1901
@@lindamatus4429 Sorry meant 1900 above
It’s by far my very favorite building that I have ever visited! All of Philadelphia’s old architecture is pretty amazing! Definitely built for a different time & people. Love your channel!!
But its not THAT old🤫
Of course, anyone can take any part of this video. - Matt
Thanks Matt
I love how you gave your own comment a heart! LoL! Did you mean to pin at the top?
I was just in Philly about a week before you and I was blown away by all the architecture. Even buildings in the ghetto would have interesting details. And I only drove past. Glad you zoomed in on the mason temple too.
Let's talk about the x factor and is the notnilc feeding us breadcrumbs or did timelines merge, again???

Matt - Abe Lincoln may have grown up in a log cabin, but clearly his contemporaries were capable of so much more! I love your reenactment of the city council meeting where they decided to build a new city hall. ;-)
I went there years ago and was so amazed at this building. The columns in the first floor are capped with people holding up the entire building. That's a truth drop. I did a tour of the Mosonic temple next door and that is really impressive also.
Sounds ripe for an implausible fire
With a side of dustification
Amazing that we CAN'T duplicate any of this construction shown. And just think of how much they've destroyed over the past 200 years. Thanks M!
You answered your own question Matt-Fred answers-“the Masonic Temple is right across the street -and apparently they are Free Masons so we only have to pay for the marble”. .....” oh-and that big Wrought Iron statue of Billy Penn” :-) Funny thing is-I had to get a new wrought iron railing for my front steps-cost almost $2000. What did that statue cost? If you get to center city again -check out the Main Branch of the Free library. No mortar in between any of the huge blocks and weirdly-huge laurel wreaths on all four corners carved about 20 feet high IN the marble. Makes it look like the buildings were built by Caesar -VERY strange
Yes but the " normies" don't even question why all the Roman symbolism in buildings they claim were built shortly after the start of America,or the new world that we are told were people from all over that wanted to leave the old far far behind,makes no sense
America is the old world
It's a book apparently the guy that wrote it's a Mason but it's full of very interesting info
Hahaha I was cracking up at the "I know it sounds like Billy Joel" part 🤣
They hired the same guys that built the Great pyramid.
I worked for a city for over 20 years. Not a big city, a little beach city. The last 12 years I was in city hall, at a print shop. We made books, flyers, etc for every department, and of course the Mayor & Council & City Manager took priority. The amount of corruption revealed to me in those years left me with the spooky realization: if the corruption is THIS insane at the level of City- I shuddered to think of the levels and kinds of crookery fraud and criminality at the County, State & higher levels. So much glad-handing, favors and outright CRIMINAL goings-on, I could write a book... God knows what things were behind what went on there
We're in a war - and the love of money is the root of all evil!
You can probably see how grand their plan actually is...
Capitalism & Democracy to rule all...
Capitalism gives those with the assets the ability to ultimately infiltrate & control EVERY FACET of human existence in this realm - by "capitalizing" on the dark, self-serving side of a human: GREED!
Which manipulates humans into being complicit, either without even realizing it, or remaining willfully ignorant of how their selfishness serves the enemy:
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
- Mark 8:36 KJV
And we are at a point that those with the money - who are the ruling class (AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN) have managed to plant themselves FIRMLY in the driver's seat:
ruclips.net/video/N9RAzCn469E/видео.html
(The Puppet Masters)
And Democracy is nothing more than allowing people to "think" they're making choices - which has two major problems:
1. You're only allowed to choose from column A or column B - both of which are corrupt & in "their" control, (via the aforementioned capitalism.) And,
B. If you can manage to manipulate the majority into false beliefs, and the decision of the MAJORITY rules, you control the outcome...

(The Jones Plantation)
The design of the US (and its orchestrated position in the world) was CONCEIVED with this very purpose in mind - and the plan has been slowly executed over hundreds of years to the very end we're now witnessing unfold!!!
This is a war where Satan is the commander & chief, the fallen angels the generals, the "owners" of this world the colonels - and the Freemasons are the lieutenants, majors, captains, etc... And most of them here are only partially human - and all of them demonic! (Genesis 6)
The dark forces that rule this realm are REAL - the only question that remains is: are you willing to acknowledge things for what they truly are...?

Thick, masonry walls. One would think that it could be efficiently cooled with a central system.
There was probably some long-lost antiquitech that controlled the inside climate.
The most advanced technology is the easiest to utilize when everything is vibrating on the frequency of the heart realm. Free energy is free for a reason. All this Babylonian technology is based on the polarized energy extraction to feed their carnal lust for the phallus.

you literally can't carve into load-bearing stone for central AC because it's load-bearing stone and it would compromise structural integrity
Just like turning on a video game.. all the structures are there and all the NPCs are pre-programmed and jump right into their life however old they are 👍 without skipping a beat... Welcome to Game Earth
Absolutely! The building was not there, Now it is and "have always" been there
NPCs do note register such things and mandelas
But a a fellow gamer I can tell people have gone batshit crazy with the lies

Hi jon..thanks for your great work to..that building reminded me of the video you did about the architecture of the morman church in utah...
Why yall shill together Jon.. The trap is technology.. JESUS IS THE SUN.. Get out with it already..
It would look like downtown Bagdad or Kabul. Good to see you here, definitely one of my favorites.
My son went from Oregon to South Philadelphia to visit his mom he never met.. after a few hours there she said she had a flat tire.. and she needed him to bring a jack.. it's a great story he walked through the worst part of South Philly carrying a tire jack and a tire iron.. people made catcalls and joked with him.. and he left with a lot of love for those people.. I love you South Philly, thanks for taking care of my kid that day.. it's a story he still tells to this day.
Hey Jon great to see you here
I see Phoenicians ( and by the way.. it's exciting to think about the grid going down and us going back to horse and oxen carts!! Then we can build some more of these structures!!)
😆😆😆 can't wait!
Your sarcasm is not wasted! 🤣
I love your presentations Matt. I thought for years I was the only one who saw these oddities.
When they tore down every old building on the main street of my hometown (I was maybe 6 or 7 years old) it pained my heart so badly and I had to cry while driving by. I didn't understand why they needed to destroy all those beautiful old buildings (the mid 1980s in Orleans Ottawa Canada)
I enjoyed this very much with my morning coffee, thanks!
This building, like alot of buildings look like they were constructed many many years ago, more than 4 or 500 years ago. Way more.

"In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air"
"Uh, Fred...don't you think this is a little over the top?" 😄👍😎💜
These beautiful Antiquitech buildings all over the world on every continent, were inherited from the last "reset". They had a much different purpose, we've been lied too. These videos help expose the truth.

These buildings in Philadelphia are actually inter dimensional Vimanas. There are several buildings stuck in Mid Shift, under the “Architect” of Frank Furness. The Fisher Fine Arts Building is an amazing example of the inside being the outside, and blocks in mid shift. My research has made me understand that Philadelphia buildings are from the Church of Philadelphia from Revelations.
Any links or recommendations to check that out..
The “architect” Frank Furness Wikipedia page .... look at the buildings. Look at the bottom of the page, see the National Bank of the Republic (later Philadelphia Clearing House), Philadelphia (1883-84, demolished). This building is so mid shift that the front door is not large enough for a person to enter. I’ve studied the old architecture of The Buildings in downtown Philadelphia and they are Etruscan. Look at “The Pennsylvania Building of Fine Arts” that looks like a Mosque. The “Penn Museum” is an old Jewish Synagogue. Likely from Israel. It’s collection has Egyptian Mummies, The Rosetta Stone, and a large collection of Akkadian Sumerian artifacts. It also has a large Etruscan collection, which matches the architecture of some of these buildings. That is how I concluded these buildings were likely from Philadelphia in Revelations.

I applaud you Matt
Thanks for the lovely music Matt. I can nap to this.
Love your humor champ! 😂😂 stay blessed
You nailed it - when you try and imagine the meeting where this building project was discussed, it doesn't add up.
Those air conditioners being installed on the impossible architecture just says it all.
I too noticed the classy window shakers installed so eloquently 😅
The old world didn't need air conditioning. The weather wasn't so horrid year-round. It was actually temperate for life to thrive without ingenuity. No seasons. The temperature was perfect all the time.
Or people were built differently... If this new generation is weaker than my gen....I'm pretty sure my gen sooo much weaker than back then
My guess is we started the game around 1930 or 40. After the World Fair buildings were demolished and vanished leaving behind photos and drawings. When the game started it was just photos and drawings of the fairs. And then a bunch of badass structures around the world to wonder about👍💚
Don't accept any money from Spiderman,there's only one place he keeps his wallet!💩
Spider-Man has no wallet because he wouldn't want to be identified if unconscious like Spider-Man 2 and someone could pick it.
He keeps it in his hidden bag somewhere with his civilian clothes.

The cathedral in DC is similarly ornate, I had the privlege yrs back to work for a cell tower co. and we were up on the roofs of the building, there is statuary that will never be seen, so many, hidden away, way up high, as if they were for god, most were cherubim, all doing something different, like hammering or playing a harp, I have no photos, seemed like I was looking at something more than meets the eye....Great vid/pix Matt
Delighted in this one, Matt. Great share!
Great vid. Cracked up though at 18:55 at the gaming store sign misspelling.
Hey Matt! At around minute 3:34, the building you are showing looks almost exactly like the Water Tower building in downtown Chicago, on the magnificent mile! Just thought it was interesting, I've never seen another building that looks so similar! Crazy! Thanks for the video!!
I'm in Chicago too. Ever see the building labeled as the Chicago Cultural Center? That thing knocks my socks off. It screams "forbidden archeology." The claim is it was built in 1893, the same year as the Columbian Exposition. Highly dubious. That shit was built way before then. Same for the Water Tower and the buildings where the Columbian Exposition was. I'm not sure why Matt is so hostile to the "inherited buildings" idea. It obviously has a lot of truth to it.
@@DionysusAlS Yes, totally!!! All those buildings are super suspect!!! That's weird I didn't realize Matt wasn't into the inherited building theory. Huh? Do you watch Jon Levi??? He had a really great video I watched about an inherited building, and he had a great idea too! I definitely recommend checking it out, he was looking at a place in San Diego. Thanks again for sharing! After looking for answers, watching tons of videos, it just seems that it's so obvious that we didn't build those buildings!!! If someone wanted to build something of that design today there's just no way, the intricate details, it's just mindboggling! I think your going to understand me better after checking that video out, ha!

It's tartarian architecture built ten years thousand years ago because of mud flood right.
No 'ten years thousand,,
We copy that style of architecture in high end cabinetry and carpentry alot. The houses with elevators to the north and south of Mira Lago. Rich people love that style. Huge detailed 3 story columns with arches and all the trimmings. Some modern amd contemporary but mostly I guess It's gothic style? How do I know I just build it.
And the rest of us get Ikea shit
Hysterical. thanks I needed that.
Wow i just had a bell go off in my head. No puns intended. What if this is one of the big secrets of the Masonic hierarchy. Knowledge of a past civilization and their architecture. Stone masons would be the ones who know that these structures were built much earlier. Good reason to form a close society, amongst other things I'm sure.
Ding ding!
THANK YOU for the ride!Nice job!
Great work, I live in philly and to stand next to this building or walk thur will put you in awe of its sheer size. Had the opportunity to go the sub basement and there are corridors the go on forever with doorways that look like they haven't been opened in 100 years and its extremely eerie and quiet to say the least. I would guess 4 to 500 years old.
Nobody does this better than you Matt......nobody.
I've seen a photo of a "marble" building after a canon hit it. The inside - including the columns- are *brick with a facade of marble* that is applied in pieces. So they assemble it brick by brick. That's how they get it up there. You're welcome.
AK brother here long time no speak Matt love that you tell anyone that reads your title, that its "architecture "to be seen and nothing but
Supposedly Billy's legs were from France and his head, hat and torso were from Disston/ Tacony Steel and Iron. Shipped on barges via Delaware River. Philly has so many questions. Eastern State Penitentiary is probably immovable idk. But the churches ect just checker some areas. Straight up Lehigh and cross Broad up Diamond is like a castle village. Anyway, Thank you so much for this video!! Great work you did here!!
The Brooklyn bridge was a thousand times more difficult to build.
Men working underwater in upside down jars with the water being pumped out building the footings under the river. Mile long steel cables, 6” in diameter strung from shore to shore.
It was an engineering marvel, and every aspect of it’s construction is documented.
These things are mind boggling, but
it was modern technology at that time and there were craftsman available to do the work.
Quarries, and stone masons were doing these projects on a daily basis.
Every aspect of the construction of
the building could be explained by someone familiar with the technology being used at the time.
AHAHAHA
I love the Chevy Chase reference ! 😂😂😂
And as with all of these structures, if one traced down when and how the money was raised to build, the number of Human Resources, in terms of workers necessary to build such a treasure, support services as to how they would obtain lunch, then over to how they obtained materials because the Home Depot with its “I will work for money for Booze” workers, closed down about a year ago because of the men who would usually run it are out training for the upcoming Civil war. It is even more amazing when you realize what the had to work with. 😸
That is an impressive piece of architecture there! Too bad we don't build anything like that today. Everything today is disposable, built to be torn down.
Absolutely and completely EXTRAordinary (actually, nothing “ordinary” AT ALL about ANY of this)... like mind bending-ly, supernaturally and unearthing-ly, can’t even begin to get my mind around ANY of it, amazing!!!!!! These are some of my most favorite presentations of yours Matt... these impossible structures and statues...... !!!!!!!!!!

Great video Matt 👍👍👍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤔
All the handsome women busts have a very worried look on their face. All buildings everywhere have worried faces
By Wiki logic, if it would bankrupt the City to knock it down, think how much it cost to build it. Thank you Matt.
That billy pen is just some wool statue blown ip there in the wind on a lucky day. Cmon
That building really is amazing. I always wonder how they lifted such heavy masses with the primitive cranes they could make back then. I am just always stunned at the amount of crafting and artistry went into making all the stone carvings of just the basic construction blocks of a wall, but even the windows have elaborate stone decoration detail all around them. Then all the statues ,small ones and huge ones. How many stonecarver artists would their have to be?
That castle looking building next door i thought was a jail, as our very old jail next to our preserved old court house, it looks just like a medieval castle with little towers. Its funny that the one there is the Masonic Lodge.
But yeah, the Philly city hall being made without steel armature and being so enormous is just really impressive. Just the monstrous mass of stone that required.
And as complicated of building, and thinking of the basic primitiveness of technology at this time, it would be kinda like building the Great Pyramid r something.
I mean that foyer hall, what is that height ? Its victorian period "floor" heights which everything is very tall and grandiose. Just guessing, it may be close to seventy five to eighty feet?
Unless they had steam powered driven cranes and lifts to move the great masses of stone.
It would have been really great if someone had preserved a lot of photos of it being constructed as it was being done over time. Just weird there isnt more documentation.
Im really curious about this now.
The old statehouse of Indianapolis in my state is pretty impressive also, it has more large open space inside, so doesnt have as much stone mass i don't think.
But for another crazy amazing building from the 1800s, look at the history of the Singer building in Chicago i think it is, or may be in New York City. It was the Singer sewing machine co. Headquarters and it was the most advanced engineering at the time as it had some of the first self contained heating and air-conditioning and hot and cold water piping system. Its a beautiful designed tower with highly detailed stonework of course.
One of the nice effects of those giant stone massed buildings is they have a natural cooling effect, like a natural cave underground.
I lived in one of the early stone houses from the heyday of my cities construction period of amazing stone and masonry and wood like in early 1800s. It had stone block walls that were like 3 ft. thick and it was about 3 stories tall, all solid stone construction. It was like living in a cave, it had a natural temperature regulating effect of the mass of stone and there wasnt very many big windows so it was like a cave in the summer as most of the apartment didnt have any central heating or AC, it just had steam heating. We just used fans to move air around, and this helped cool also.
The winter was not bad either as the natural temp regulating helped keep it stable,although it was worse as far as it was a bit on chilly side and the steam radiators werent big enough for the huge rooms as the ceilings were like twelve feet high in the end rooms.
Originally there were woodstoves placed in rooms, as the chimney holes were capped off at some point and the steam systems were a later modification as ya could see how the walls were roughly cut into to install the pipes through the original huge baseboards.
Martin Leidkie [cant remem spelling] had an interesting take on some of the towers on these old building being used by airships as a docking towers to let passengers on and off.
😆😆😂 hilarious

When working men are respected they can do amazing things. This architecture isn't impossible. But the society that built it is hard for us broken people to imagine.
My goodness, why would they ever want to remove these beautiful pieces of architecture, smfh?
They're destroyed so much already, most of it in fact, very sad.
Why would they ever wven suggest of tearing that building down. Certain architecture, certain structures, just stand the test of time and would impress any group of people. I don’t particularly buy into the idea all these structures were built thousands of years ago (that even MORE unexplainable). But I could imagine if some disaster struck where this thing laid untouched for a few thousand years and then was stumbled upon by people way in the future, that they would indeed renovate, clean up, and reuse this building. It’s an awesome building
Funny as hell ! Made my lonely Saturday night. Hahahahahaha.
Soooo the Wild West era late 1860s was after or before this? Time line def messed up.. all lies...thanks Matt for another eye opening video
Aside from all the pagan statues/faces this architecture is much more pleasing to the eye than modern sterile buildings of today...those masons knew their sheeee-it...if they could have dedicated their talent to The One True God it would probably have been even better
Maybe the idea of the removal of the building “bankrupting the city” has a double meaning. It could be considered the heart and soul of philly, and thus by removing it they would be losing something important
Thanks for sharing! Since I will never be vax I don't know if I would ever see this in person. Peace and love to you
Yep. Burnham & Root, the city of Chicago’s original master planners were architects that built 5 to 7 story buildings in downtown Chicago in the late 1880s. They stated concrete buildings any larger would be impractical from a structural integrity or financial standpoint.
And what about the poor sweaty bastards who occupied these magnificent structures prior to AC? How did they survive the sweltering heat?
Ewaranon has some interesting takes on these buildings. His videos are long-5 hours, but can be watched in smaller episodes. I found them via Norbz world 🙂
I'm working through them now. Hes connecting a lot of dots.
They were used to conduct an electromagnetic grid of our ionosphere before the reset of the early 1800s.
It's psy op to smuggle in the Moon map
Really beautiful building.
What I like about this topic is that nobody can come up with even one possible idea
How could architecture so DEGRADE in such a short period of time??
Immigration of German architects to the US during and after World War 2. Read Tom Wolf's book called " From Bahaus to Our House".
@@kirbywaite1586 German architects were responsible for the downfall of architecture?
@@davidpaulk5658 If you view modern architecture as the downfall of architecture then the onvious answer is yes. Read Tom Wolfe's book on the subject.
I was in New hope pa and noticed many buildings from previous civilization
I'm jazzed to begin creating (whenever the call comes in) the promotional art/posters/whatever for Matt's Epic 8 hour movie titled "Reality Breakdown".
Imagine the story boards that will feature musical clips of (M.C.) Hammmmer dancing across the screen singing:
"You can't touch this, Break it down...Matt"
"Hey wait up, how the f**k they build that?"
(insert behind music any photo of any impossible architecture)
Audience claps as (Impossible architecture time / Hammer time) - fades out!
Hey Matt! I live in your area. Wanted to let you know us Zoomers call it KOP now. I don’t ever hear people say the full king of Prussia. I’d like to know your opinion on other towns or landmarks closer to where you live.
The billy statue is hollow and probably deceptively light. Just a fancy paint job
Definite possibility
Nope. It's solid iron (on the outside not through the center.)
@@quantumofconscience6538 your believing something you've read. What makes more sence, deceptively light or lost high technology. Keep in mind people who commission work like that want maximum bragging rights for the least amount of money
Whay makes more sense? It was probably designed in CAD and then printed out with a 3D printer.
they had box cutters! you'll be surprise what can be done with couple of box cutters ;p
Take a look at the very Old World Renaissance era style Bellevue Stratford hotel across the street!
Especially the sides. Huge! Actually a lot of the Avenue of the Arts. And the Wanamaker's building. And quaint old shops near Rittenhouse Square. I've been looking all over!
With Tartaria tops. Gorgeous inside!
Tommy Flanagan: yeah, we built the whole thing. I mean, we built it from the ground up, I mean the floor up, I mean the top floors. Yeah, we built it all, and we started in 1871, We ah hoisted the statue of old Billy up there with , horses and winches and pulleys. Yeah, thats the ticket, we built Philly, statues and all.
That cover picture looks just like the cover of NES game Ghoul School !😉
It's a mirage, it's a mirage, it's a mirage.
IMO, it's convincing evidence that giants and ourselves definitely cohabitated
No building was allowed higher than Penn's hat till Rouse bldg in 1980ish. Then no more limits.
