The official narrative is that over 200 huge buildings were built for the Chicago Worlds Fair only to be torn down a few years later. Everyone believes that story, even though they wouldn't have been able to even complete the foundations of the buildings in time for the fair with 1893 machinery.

But the buildings didn't need foundations. They were temporary structures that were built with the intention of being torn down in the near future.

Not to mention “raising” the city during that time period along with all the other amazing structures that were supposedly built around then.

Precisely

Exactly. A type of plaster on a frame of some steel but also just timber. More like a movie set than real buildings, plaster surface made to look like large quarried blocks.

Yes this. I swear people like this OP are getting dumber and dumber.

Look at the magnitude of some of those buildings. You cannot just "temporarily" put up some beams and support those massive arches and tall roof tops.

Anyone experienced in construction will tell you that without heavy duty foundations, those things will not stand up even with today's much advanced construction technology.

Agreed just the site work alone would take years and cost fortunes. My hunch is that SOME of the buildings were cheap plaster ones in order to give credence to the lie that they were all that way

Exactly. A few of the smaller buildings in the pictures I've seen look like obvious cheap temporary ones, but those are very different to the rest.

If most of the buildings were already there, it would make sense that they would have had to put up at least some structures designed for the fair, to sell the narrative to the public.

Exactly how i would do it if i were an evil conspiracy covering up some mass extinction event... or potentially the actual rapture and was intent on repopulating... is it possible that the dark ages were actually the 1000yr reign of christ on earth and these civilizations are what was left after the true christians were taken to heaven? Maybe we are descendants of the leftover people. Also explains why (they) seem to control everything even though they seem incapable of keeping things from constantly deteriorating...

If that is the case, then this is the part where satan is loosed for a season.

And I'm not so sure the good guys are the leftovers -- there are a couple of different theories, one of which is that the bad guys disappear, not the good guys.

Maybe that is yet to happen?

I can imagine someone flipping a switch or sending out a signal and everyone who has received a certain formulation in their jab just...vanishes.

Poof!

It takes a year to build a single family house how can you build these buildings in that same amount of time. When you look close at the narrative that all this shit (and even all yhe nicest old buildings in our cities that havent been demolished exhibit a stunning level of design perfection) was built all in the 1880s - 1890s it just doesnt add up

No it doesn't. My house was built (from a dirt lot to move-in date) in 5 months. It doesn't take any time at all to throw up a house if you know what you're doing and you have an efficient and reliable process that you've repeated hundreds of times.

Ok so you live in some shitty tract house suburb probably a pulte shit box that has no ecterior trim just a vinyl plastic fake out this shit was real architrcture it must have taken years to design it alone

I do live in a suburb with a lovely brick façade. Your goal post moving doesn't change the fact that just because you don't understand basic construction and engineering, it wasn't easily accomplished by educated individuals in generations before yours. We stand on the shoulders of giants and you think you're tall. Get real.

Im sorry im being a dick i apologize. Anyeay i dont know but theres always been something fishy about these world fairs. Could it be that the “native americans” werent a savage nation after all but built beautiful cities that we took over

These were just facade buildings and they didnt have building codes,permits, osha's etc then.just temporary buildings.

Fucking morons. Do you know how many thousands of workers are used in a world's fair? Your perspectives are beyond stupid.

Also i used to believe the lie about the world fairs being just built quickly but then i started looking at actual photos. Even if built from wood only and plaster theres no way to do it. Only if youre inly building a couple buildings and the rest are just getting cleaned up/painted white and getting a new roof

I love this theory.

After coming across this theory, which seems rather compelling, I realize that I need to go back and look at some old footage of cities which has been restored and colorized with cutting edge AI. We could even restore footage that no one else has looked at yet.

There are probably abnormalities that can be spotted, especially in cities where buildings just happened to be destroyed due to some freak accident.

This example comes to mind:

Upscaled with neural networks trip down Market Street, San Francisco, shot on April 14, 1906, just four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire which killed an estimated 3 000 people and destroyed over 80% of the city of San Francisco.

The fact that these are many buildings on an immense site means that the work is very, very scalable. They could have been constructed simultaneously.

How many horses do you think were used to move all those building materials to the site?

permalink parent save report block reply

– SuicideTruthbomber 1 point 4 years ago +1 / -0

The official story is that a large amount of those building materials were papier-mâché which could be mixed with the water available on-site.

My point was that theoretically the time it took to build the most-time consuming building is the time it would take to build all of them because you can build them all at the same time. The materials and logistics are another matter.

This is retarded. You obviously have never been to Paris, cause there are all sorts of original buildings still standing including the Eifel Tower. London, crystal palace, and all sorts of WF buildings remained until torn down years later. Keep in mind that in Chigago, many buildings were temporary and were 'facades' that did not require foundations, so they used wood instead of cement, and other 'faux' treatments.
