Are these remnants of tartarian buildings?? So beautiful. Elites dont want us to know our actual history. Sad
Love the gentleman @ 3:05 taking his hat off and smiling at the camera!
He achieved a certain kind of immortality. Its funny, he must have known about the camara and planned the move. Kind of like folks with a google car today. While everyone else pretty much had no idea it was there or chose to ignore it.
He lives on...😢

Today in 2023 Maria Branyas Morera is the oldest person on Earth. She was born on March 1907. That means every human we see in that video is long gone... But at the same time, somewhere on an island in the Indian Ocean, Jonathan the Tortoise (the current oldest land animal on Earth) was already 70 years old. I always find that crazy to put in perspective
The first section shows the moving pavement ("trottoir roulant") that was an attraction at the Exposition Universelle that year, it ran along the Seine on Quai d'Orsay to the Eiffel Tower, you can see the sign: "Quai d'Orsay - Pont des Invalides" (which is where I live in Paris today). The second section after 3:50 pans around Place de la Concorde, and stops on the big arch which was the entrance to the world fair. The third section, after 5:50, shows visitors milling about at Trocadéro and on the bridge crossing the Seine to the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars with its pavilions.
Yes, and I live at the top of La Tour Eiffel. You can just see my elbows where the camera pans up.
Why they go on and off that thing all the time? The same person goes down, walk a little then go on again, then off walk a bit, then on. Whats up with that?
@@drac124 : They could see that they were being filmed and it was all new and exciting for them. It's kind of like when you see people today waving at a news camera because they know they'll be on TV.
@@drac124 It was just something really new .. for us it looks normal.
It would be new to us if we got it back.
Those must've been exciting times. Bear in mind the first electric lamps were installed in Paris in 1878. The entire city including majority of households weren't fully electrified until around 1925. So the year of 1900 is an exciting era of advancing electrification and the people we see in this footage were witness to first adoption of this exciting new invention into their daily lives. The proof that electricity was still a novelty thing is The Palace of Electricity that was a major highlight of the Expo of 1900, with its 5,000 multi-coloured incandescent lights that illuminated the night and Edmond Paulin's ornately decorated water fountain at the Chateau d'Eau, situated directly in front of it.
The first world expo in Paris was 1878, so there are questions surrounding whether or not a *different* type of method of electricity harnessing existed.

It is difficult to understand how the earliest displays of the new technology could be so grand. How could the supporting infrastructure have been rolled out at such speed? Generators? Distribution? Mass-produced parts? Qualified electricians? With experience? All this and more, before you consider any one implementation project of any scale (and safety).
Then we do consider the scale of the first projects: acres of land, gigantic buildings, intricate ornamentation, fountains... Millions of customers (insured?) and hard deadlines. The world's press. Dignitaries. The efficiency of the testing phase alone must have been incredible.
Before Test, the Design-and-Build phases would have been difficult to delineate, while on the cutting edge of technology. Each team would learn from validating assumptions, and would need to share their learns back to the other teams, via the organization. Consider bug number 0369: "Given x conditions when you attempt y then you get the outcome z. And the whole circuit blows out and that's how Jean-Claude got fried and that's why our team is behind by a week."
But modern Project Management methodologies weren't developed for another 50 years (and are still flawed 70 years thence, especially in cutting-edge scenarios where we can't estimate a job before we try it). To manage innovation, the West has slowly, reluctantly been adopting "Lean", "Agile" and "Product" methodologies for this reason, yet more recently still.
Apparently, in the late 19th Century the prevailing Project Management methodology (if we can call it that) was the idea of "the Great Man". Appoint the right man as the boss, and he'll get it done.
In the context of the factories and the mines, we can see the evidence that they did get it done. We can not see evidence that they focused on deadlines as we do. We can not see evidence that they focused on targets as we do. We can see evidence of safety standards that don't compare to safety standards today. Pre-unionization, the factories and the mines were managed cruelly and inefficiently. They didn't know how to use the technology safely, they didn't have commercial incentive to invest in safety as an objective, and these "great men" were prepared to pay the human cost.
Could the Great Men of the Worlds Fairs afford to take that approach? How many deadlines could they afford to miss? How many casualties could they afford? Ad-hoc, they could pay the newspapers to turn a blind eye. But overall, the entire program needed to succeed, on time.
That's the electricians' story. Of course, we're told that they were working on the same site on the same projects as the construction workers and the plumbers and the carpenters and the decorators and the landscapers and the gardeners...
"Hats off" to them all regardless: the proof is in the deliverables. The fairs were presented - and electrified - brilliantly. The photos and the films give us a performance of a mighty composition that otherwise we could not have imagined. Just like great classical music: for me, they have the same, intense, emotional flavor. Too grand-but-sad for words.
Today, there are many questions about the infrastructure of the fairs. How much was in place? What was the scope of the projects? Construction vs restoration? Innovation vs back-engineering? Wiring vs repairing? Pondering these questions, while watching these clowns on the sidewalk, it's a curious story at least.
Due to it's age, this was difficult film to work with. The care in the added audio greatly enhanced the presentation. Thanks NASS.

Agreed!
I absolutely agree. I miss so many virtues of that days. As you say, it seems to be such a good time to be alive, with no smartphones, the ongoing stress etc. But let's not forget about the circumstances behind these pictures. Ill people often died, kids were forced to work and maybe couldn't find time to go to school, poor people were starving and some even froze to death. Every medal always has two sides.

Wow. This looks so alive, but everyone seen on these pictures is already gone for quite a long time. It was a different world back then, and I guess nobody there would believe that two of the biggest wars in human existence would happen pretty shortly. To see these kids that might have died during these wars, maybe even as soldiers, to see this beautiful city that's going to be destroyed is so, so sad. But thanks to the cameraman and you, we can get a glimpse of how beautiful this city was and how happy these kids were. Thank you for bringing us these remastered videos!
Heh, fortunately Paris wasn't destroyed. Its architecture today is the same as in this old film.
Paris wasn't destroyed. France has decided not to fight and just wait till the rest of the world sacrifices their lives to save them from Nazis. A cowardly shameful act!
WHAT? Paris has never been destroyed! it is the miraculous and totally intact city of the 2 world wars. It is precisely because it was never destroyed that the city is so beautiful today.

thank you so much
😂 estoy en el baño!😂😂

Crude humor…..Which is why I laughed. Good one.
Paris is the city with the least demolition in the world by far! Here on the video it seems to be a good idea to keep these buildings, but in reality the perspective was cut, and the Exposition was put on the only places of the center that breathed a little with space! Imagine the Eiffel tower surrounded by compact buildings everywhere at its feet... or the invalid invisibilized behind other buildings, or even the quay of the Seine not practicable without being able to make a walk because bordered of other buildings! That's why everything was ephemeral.
None of these people could have imagined someone would be watching them in 2023
I own an original copy 'Paris Exposition 1900' guidebook published by Hachette & Cie. It really was a special time and place. For a short time the period seemed at pease. Rodin had a special exhibit that summer and the sporting events included base-ball, Concours Hippique (including jumping, carriage riding and Polo); Vélocipédie (cycling); Automobilisme (racing in at least six classes) and Sport Nautique (rowing, sailing and motor boat racing). There was just so much to see!
Yes, the whole culture looks as though it’s built on peace. t’s very difficult to imagine people at war achieving anything like it.
Excellent work! I love how your videos take us back in time like this!

Many of the children in this video probably went on to fight in WW1 14 years later 😳 Thanks for the video!

@@martinmayhew145 And a lot of them did, so there's that 🤔
Amazing to see the smiling faces and curious expressions of the people looking directly at the camera. It would be interesting to see images of the camera, operators and gear. The people appear to have been fascinated by it all.
-I think it would look like a large black box on a tripod with a tube & glass lens in the end part of the tube. Glad people were taking pictures like this back then or we would never know what it all looked like.
Amazing that a moving sidewalk as seen here existed at this time. I gather it made a circular pattern unless it backed up at some point. Also, interesting to see the way people were "duded up" back then. Women in their pretty long dresses with ornate hats and men mostly in suits with many wearing straw hats. Nice trip back in time and thanks for sharing! Now, where's Gigi?!!
@@dainadaino678 Yeah, especially on a hot summer day.
The 1893 Chicago World's Fair had a Moving Sidewalk and by 1900 EVERY world's exposition had to have one!
I don't think it was a moving sidewalk
Not a T shirt or a pair of Crocs in sight.
@@laurielaurie8280 You're right. It was a "moving platform" according to the description of this video.

Folks who are my age in this video were probably living through the Paris Commune of 1871. Just like how I was a teenager in the 90s. It's amazing how much societal and technological progress they saw in their lives.
Bluffant, incroyable, je suis impressionné par la qualité des images. Une vraie machine à remonter le temps. Puissant.
Et j'ajoute que c'est émouvant de voir ces gens qui pour une partie non négligeable iront se faire massacrer dans les tranchées quelques années plus tard.. Et si on pouvait modifier les événements.. Ce sont des vidéos qui font cogiter sévère.

Totally agree. Its like saying water is wet and we breathe air. This comment, along with the cheap, maudlin attidudes, is conducive to hurling. Sentimentalism is but one of the very agents behind the destruction of the very city pictured here.
The young boys in uniform were helping people get on and off the moving sidewalk. Actually nice to have with some elderly people or handicap people. Nice upload.
I hope the youth of the 1950’s and 1960’s provided the same assistance to those 1900 boys who would then, to the extent they survived, be elderly themselves.

I think the distortion is part of You Tubes copy protection, which wouldn't be needed since this film is most likely in the public domain.

Just google the word Tartaria & knock yourself out with the technology, the structures, the height of the people that were from there and obvious divine wisdom they had to pull it all off. Meanwhile, humans sucked up to every war mongerer and made sure most of all buildings were destroyed long ago erasing our real past.

A time when even industrial buildings or subway architecture looked beautiful... Before the ugliness of our modern world.
No skinny horses in the 1900s, lots of manure on the street and no smog. Wonderful.
the future was here in the 19th century this is our 15-minute City, no cars just horse sh*t.
All trains, boats, and power supply were made by steam at this time. There was much more smog than today.
There was, indeed, smog.
From _Our World In Data_ :
National air pollution trends often follow the environmental kuznets curve (EKC). The EKC provides a hypothesis of the link between environmental degradation and economic development...
If we take a historical look at pollution levels in London, for example, we see this EKC clearly. In the graph, we have plotted the average levels of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in London’s air from 1700 to 2016. Suspended particulate matter (SPM) refers to fine solid or liquid particles which are suspended in Earth’s atmosphere (such as soot, smoke, dust and pollen). Exposure to SPM - especially very small particles, which can more easily infiltrate the respiratory system - has been strongly linked to negative cardiorespiratory health impacts, and even premature death. As we see, from 1700 on, London experienced a worsening of air pollution decade after decade. Over the course of two centuries the suspended particulate matter in London’s air doubled. But at the very end of the 19th century the concentration reached a peak and then began a steep decline so that today’s levels are almost 40-times lower than at that peak.
The data presented has been kindly provided by Roger Fouquet, who has studied the topic of environmental quality, energy costs and economic development in great detail.
From Earth Org regarding Paris:
A host of literature describing the horrible conditions of blackened air and cities appears in the second half of the 19th century, as its noise and pollution became impossible to ignore. It wasn’t until 1898 that a law banning “Heavy and extended black smoke emissions” was passed. However, these issues became an administrative problem rather than a legal one, meaning that surveys were led by hand-picked “experts” and rules were easily circumvented.
Around the year 1900, Parisians knew they had a serious pollution problem. No, not smog and particulate matter, they said, but the dung from over 80,000 horses carrying people and loads around the city everyday. Officials decided to test moving horse-drawn vehicles to the verge of the Champs-Elysees causeway, while motorized vehicles would be given the center. The contrast between the manure-laden and rubber-smoothed aisles left people convinced (translated from a French article in the “Figaro”): “It is easy to see that, from a hygienic standpoint, automobiles whose exhaust is rapidly absorbed by the air, are preferable to equestrian carriages.”
Massive industrialization throughout the century led to many new forms of pollution, and despite some rudimentary measurements of CO2’s distribution through Paris, not much action was taken.
Interestingly, the tool for measuring smoke quality was a set of 5 pieces of paper, shaded gradually from white to black. Smoke color was compared to that of the papers and thus recorded.
Just think, everyone in this video has passed. The reality and certainties in life are humbling. Great video!
Thanks again for your great and incredibly important work. It actually makes me cry,.
Somewhere here, my great-great grandfather is walking around enjoying the sights. I still possess a cup of his that has the Paris skyline etched into the glass with his initials. An extremely rare piece that is on display on a museum in Gympie, Queensland.

Woah...incredible footage. Mind blowing the work that went into one big fair. Curious how it was even possible? Cool to see, though. Can see how Paris got it's reputation. Beautiful.
It wasn’t possible, you can not transport that amount of stone and marble on horse and buggy
@@justadudedudin But you CAN on trains and steam-powered equipment. FFS LEARN instead of assuming.
It was VERY possible. People had been building "big stuff" for decades. 1900 wasn't the stone age, it was the height of the industrial revolution. They had all sorts of heavy construction equipment like cranes, power shovels, tractors, etc. Plus most fair buildings were only temporary b/c they were purpose-built and couldn't be reused afterwards. They were constructed like movie sets, good-looking but mostly lath and plaster. It's been the same with almost all world's fairs, not just Paris.
P.S. "whoa" and "its". Hope that helps.

@@user-eb5cb6ud1p hey man, I hear ya. There’s a lot of buildings out there, some made entirely out of marble, built in a year, and the only way to transport it was land, even if they did bring it by boat, it was still a week trip nonstop on horse and buggy. Millions of lbs of marble. One cubic meter weighs like 2 tons or something. Do you know how much water it would take to quench the horses on a journey like that? 1000s of gallons.

Hw cool is this love it :-) the first travelators I mean now days you only see them in Airport and to think Paris already had them in 1900 on the footpath , another great video for us to watch and wonder about the people and what they got up to
123 years ago isn’t really that long ago. And neither is 123 years from now.
Patrick, I agree. My Grandmother was born in 1892 and would be 8 years old in 1900. And She was still alive when I was a kid in the 1970's.
Correct. That is but over one lifetime ago. Not a long time at all, in the timeline of history.
It’s like looking through a time viewing devise. But kind of sad as you know not one of these people are still alive.

Today, almost one and one quarter century later, so much of the architecture remains intact. The city of Paris is a work of art, and thankfully, it survived all the threats of war and destruction over the years.

NASS, would you have something from South America in this wonderful historical collection?
Seeing this always makes me think how much has changed in just the last few decades. If you took out the horses and switched people's clothes, this could easily pass for the 1950s, even almost to the late 70s in some places. But there is no way it would pass for today. Most European cities that survived the wars changed very little before the modern era, maybe the occaisonal alley, but not as a whole until very recently (relatively speaking of course).
Paris has not changed at all since Haussmann in its center, even after 1980.
The, " modern era?" The modern era began with the Industrial Revolution, and that
was the 18th century.
@@Asenay22And that was not that old. Hausmann destroyed much of Medieval Paris, and created a new city. The Paris the world is familiar with, with the exception of a few palaces, churches and buildings, is a rather recent creation.
Hello, it's a great channel!!
I'd like to use your channel's videos in my video work, what should I do?

Closest thing to a tiime machine
Thanks Much ! NASS
thank you very much my friend
Nice Video 👍 Thanks NASS
thank you so much my friend
Yeah I’m pretty sure that constant hum in the background noise didn’t exist back then. It’s something we assume cities sound like because of cars, and it’s the peace and tranquility that cars stole from us. Most likely it would be much quieter in paris 100-150 years ago.
Great video! Super important to see... Thank you for this!
Fun to see the old footage :)
J’aurais tellement voulu y être lors de l’exposition
Wow Amazing Video
Ils ont l'air amusant c'est trotoire roulant !
Anecdote le trottoir roulant à était créé en 1893 ,, l'un avancé à 4 km/h et le second a 8 km/h
Génial, quel boulot !
These people would hardly recognize France today, other than the Eiffel Tower. They would be shocked and disgusted. Great job on the video work.
Why ? The city is exactly the same except for the cars and the people walking in the streets. There would be nothing easier than to recognize Paris.
@@Asenay22 the crime and the trash, plus other issues. Exactly the same? Some parts of the city, sure.
@@Asenay22 "Exactly" ? It's a joke from "La mairie de Paris" (!). For example a medieval - !!! - area, Beaubourg,, has been largely destroyed to build a museum and a new quarter. With no doubt, more than 50% of "that" Paris no longer exists (you can also observe old walls but modern constructions behind, a "Dysneyland effect" !). Thank you Nass for this wonderful work with universal interest. You are in mission...
Absoulement, mom ami. Absoulement.
@@Asenay22Apparently you cannot see the forest for the trees. Paris, and Europe have changed dramatically over the past few decades. So happy to have lived there during the 60s and 70s, when it was still Europe, and not the United States of Europe. With its self destructive DEI, PC rubbish and toxic wokeism.
C'était très beau.Les bâtiments étaient en pierre sculptée, les gens étaient joliment habillés.Et le Trocadéro était magnifique. Pourquoi a-t-on détruit cet édifice qui était bien plus beau que celui de maintenant ?
That world was much more worth living in than our world now. Beauty was everywhere.
The Eiffel tower was built in 1889, so it was only 11 years old in 1900!
