    My hometown! All of us from here recognize there is an allure and a mystique something other worldly about New Orleans. Once it grips you, it doesn’t ever really let you go, no matter where you go if you happen to leave! It is equally haunting, beautiful, and utterly mysterious. My ancestors are some of the founding fathers and I feel the roots deep in my soul.

      You don't seem to understand, yet, the very objective, and principle message of this channel your commenting on with arrogance. You were told a lie about history, as we all were. If your ancestor's were "Founding Fathers," then they simply FOUND a cuty which was already built long before they arrived. They simply participated in the cover-up of the truth.

    There’s also a massive underground system under the City. It runs from then end of St. Charles Avenue and extends all the way to Lake Pontchartrain. If you look closely near the end of Elysian Fields Avenue there’s an access point located in the center of the neutral ground. It’s very mysterious though, you will never ever hear it mentioned. My family was born and raised there and some of my relatives were members of N.O.P.D. In the later 50’s to the 80’s and there were occasions when they had to down there. They said it was a sight to behold! But I have yet to ever hear it mentioned to the general public. Go figure?

    This may be a bit controversial, but most Black Americans are descendants of a Native American group which were highly advanced agriculturists. They grew cotton and corn in all colors of the rainbow. They had marvelous grains, legumes, and squash. They were all through the Americas.
    The adults were the victims of genocide, slavery, and internment. The children were enslaved and deprived of education and the knowledge of their heritage.
    The slave trade story is a coverup of this terrible travesty against humanity.
    If the truth were not terrible, they would not try to hide it ...
    If the buildings were not in use by Native Americans, why bother to kill and enslave them, and confine others in asylums. Then, steal their gold and use it to fund a new economy.

    32:20 You are correct, sir - the structure you're referring to here is indeed a mausoleum, built within a graveyard as a tomb to hold the remains of the deceased.
    A tomb or mausoleum erected In Memoriam in which no human remains are housed is a cenotaph - generally speaking, beautiful pieces of old world architecture found in huge public spaces that our governments have scratched their narrative all over to convince us they were built in the new world era as memorials to soldiers lost fighting WWI&II.

    New Orleans was my home. I was raised right outside the Parrish called Metairie. Grew up in a great neighborhood with a lot of kids my age. Good memories memories of New Orleans. I always looked forward to Fat Tuesday. If you've never been to Mardi gras put that in your bucket list. I would suggest if you want to go to New Orleans do not go during the summer. The humidity is unbearable at that time of the year and you will not enjoy yourself. Pick a cool time to go, you will have a blast. Heads up New Orleans is not a safe place to be right now so be very careful when you go. ✌️

Your last guest talked about time and the fourth dimension I was excited that he mentioned time. I believe time plays a much bigger role in the world we don't see. Isaac Newton was very suspicious himself yet he could not say/speak because of a falling out of the church's ideals could be extremely risky. So he wrote in code of course all the elite bought up all his works. I am glad you are asking more questions on what you are seeing. I really enjoy those bits.

      New Orleans is below sea level, so most, if not all, older cemeteries will have above ground interment due to the sea level. New Orleans , the whole city, except right along the river, is a bowl. That is why it is called the crescent city. It was built along the higher crescent to be able to avoid flooding.

    I think in many places there wasn't any written history so they simply made it up and attached names of people who wished to legitimise their ownership. Don't forget mechanical printing presses were only just becoming widespread at this point, and no electric telegraph until the 1860s, when everything suddenly begins to be built.

    You cannot bury bodies in most parts of New Orleans as it is at and below sea level.

    Ok 😮is it just just me, or is there a gigantic and clumsily carried out attempt at a vanilla sky type thing, but has ended up with a glaring lack of finesse ? I mean they didn’t even try to hide it..😮

    The Cabildo sits right next to the Saint Louis Cathedral. This is where The Louisiana Purchase was signed and is a museum of Louisiana artifacts. The Cabildo actually caught fire in 1988 while being restored. Same old story. ua-cam.com/video/Ko5tlrEPa5c/v-deo.htmlsi=DLbwzNSivVecH4aL

    Anticipating Tramways lol, meanwhile the small City of Gosford NSW Australia which II grew up in and now has 800k people still has the same single lane each way road through the centre of town and can't be widened because the shopfronts are built right along side it, Policians don't plan ahead, especially on infrastructure, trust me on that one 👍

    Every where you go, ! The same old story. Was everyone in Europe in on this bamboozle ? So Columbus and the Spanish are rushing back to the queen yelling, great cities for the taking ! Or was it all planned out, there's a part of this story that hasn't materialized, yet
    Good work. 😊
