I have something to share. As I watched this last evening I looked at the area on Google Earth. I found something interesting. At the 4:05 time mark, there's a sketch drawing of a large circular dome structure. As soon as I zoomed in on the area I see a large circular formation at the entrance to St. Augustine Inlet. It's roughly 270' across. To the southeast of it there are 3 smaller circles in the ground. Those three circles basically match the exact spacing and sizes of the three additional dome huts in the bacground of the artist drawing. Of course the state has now used the large circle structure as a site to pump dredging spoils from the inlet over the years. But, we all know there are many instances where historic sites have been "repurposed" to disguise their original structures. Very Cool video Jarid Boosters! Keep up the good work.
Dude you've delivered some of the most spectacular historical footage and photos that the world has ever seen! Unmatched in the quality and quantity of historical photographs. All I can say in response is thank you. Respect. Have a Happy New Year to you also Peace from Australia 🇦🇺
I've long been fascinated by the history of St. Augustine. Looking at these old photos, you can still easily recognize the locations around the historic district. It actually doesn't look that different from today.
I lived in St. Augustine in 1990’s and loved it. When I went back 20 years later I was discouraged at how commercialized it had become. Money = changes.
That’s everywhere now. I lived on Pensacola Beach from 99-2017 and watching how it’s changed from locals to a tourist destination with many of those tourists staying!
I agree ,been going for family vacations since 1983 , own a lot at Bryn Mawr resort campground, but it is not nearly as drastic a change as I’ve seen in the same timeframe as Key West ! Imo
I bought a bunch of stereo scopic pictures and a stereo scopic viewer because of you and i show them to my family and friends and I can see their eyes light up when they see the pictures everyone thinks they look incredible.
The first multi-year European settlement in the continental United States was Pensacola, which was established at Emanuel Point in East Hill, a small neighborhood in modern Pensacola, by conquistador Don Tristán de Luna y Arellano in 1559.
Thank you so much for the work you do, it must be exhausting to do such an extensive detailed project like this. I have much respect for you and your work. More so for you based on the character of your work. If you receive negative commentary, please disregard as it is not the consensus of those who serve others, so to speak. I hope you continue this work, and anything else you do for as long as you are able. Thank you sincerely. JRD III
Forty-two years before the English colonized Jamestown, and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, SPAIN established Saint Augustine, America's first and oldest city. There are quite a few facts you left out in regard to the history of St Augustine. But I did enjoy the pictures. Thank you!
@@alannataylor5791Not really. People were riding around in boats from everywhere for a long time. Spain, France, England and the Dutch were late to the party. They took credit via ancient social media.
God bless you too bud and thank you for making this video! I was at the fort de Castille/the main fort in the pics and then matanza last year around summer time and got a very ominous and negative vibe from the area something akin to hungry ghosts! I'm not psychic but I can feel energies from times past and it wasn't till I went south to ft matanza and some tourist from Texas told me the history that I figured out why. The Spanish tricked the shipwrecked french hugonauts that were camped out on the south side of the matanza bridge into following them back to the main fort for food and shelter and quietly murdered ALL of them along the way! My guess leaving the bodies in the woods to rot in the sun or possibly throwing them into the intercoastal river way. Either way I felt terrible the entire weekend i spent there and didn't know why till later after researching the history.
Thank you.....totally immersed......Fla native since 3 yrs old/1966 (South FL).....so much change.....so sad....thank you for sharing our incredible history!!!
Just found your channel and I love it. I have lived here off and on for 20 years and it is now my permanent home. I feel I lived here a long time ago and seeing your photos and listening to your history is making this all the more remarkable. Thank you - keep it up. 🌴
Loved this beautiful historical documentary I'm a history nut I'm from South Carolina my sister lived in St Augustine and I got to visit her quite a few years ago but I wish I could have gone out and looked at a lot of things there but I but I didn't but you made a great documentary I hope to see many more and take care
Sending you light and love, and truly appreciate your videos. How ironic that this video was about St. Augustine! My grandmother had a distant cousin who lived here, and worked for the St. Ponce De Leon hotel in the early 1900s. He shucked oysters for the kitchen there. One day when he went to work, and they were updated the plumbing and he was given an old double wooden commode from the barber shop in the basement. It passed through many of my family, until my great grandmother received it, which was then given to my grandmother upon her death. It was then passed on to me and I don’t believe it was a commode, but a washing stand for the barber shop. I’ve tried researching this piece, and have only found old blueprints of the hotel that shows there was a barber shop in the basement. It is absolutely a gorgeous piece of history, and have had no luck in finding another piece like it. I’ve contacted the Flagler college, which was converted from the hotel, and they weren’t interested in it. I know that there were many famous people who stayed at the hotel, even presidents, during the winter months. They must have used the barber shop in the basement, and I like to think this piece of furniture was used by them to have their hair washed. It is made of oak and is very heavy, with a shelf in the middle and two round side lower shelves, with a place for water to run into a hole in the bottom. Seeing these pictures take me back to that place in time, and I truly am thankful I’ve found your channel. 🌞💛🙏🌻✨✨✨✨
You forgot Fort Matanza! If you're in St Augustine it's a must do, you take a ferry across the river and boom there it is a beautiful little fort with lots of spiritual energy. The grounds have an effect on the senses you can tell it was sacred grounds and the ancestors are all around you something you don't feel at the larger forts.
St. Augustine is one of the oldest stone cities in the Americas. Thank you Jarid for all the well presented facts and evidence of our subverted past history. Happy New years my friend!
Pensacola predates St. Augustine by 6 years. The only reason St. Augustine claims to be the oldest city is the caveat of a "continuously inhabited" city. Pensacola was destroyed by a hurricane and the Spanish left the city due to the destruction. Pensacola was still inhabited during that time and was still a Spanish colony, although there was no formal government to speak of. It took almost 100 years for the Spanish to rebuild the city.
Thank you for all your research and all you do to help us to awaken and see that there were previous civilizations here before us. It’s much appreciated.
I am so excited when you post things. You give back life to so many who had theirs hidden for too long way back in time. Side Note: I hope you do something for Delaware someday. The fantastic Nanicoke and Lenape people in lower DE would jump to have someone like you tell their story! 💖
Beautiful architecture reminiscent of the Cathedral in Monreale, Sicily and also the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. I guess the spheres of architectural influence were pretty small back in those days. Nonetheless, these people were masters of their craft. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year to all.
Hi Jared, Merry Christmas! I hope your struggles are finding some relief these days. Can I just say, If I could do what you do to organize and narrate a great channel like this, I would have to be really proud of myself! You should be too! I was struck by how much these photos look exactly like the St. Augustine I remember. I started visiting there in the 70s and lived there in the 80s and 90s and not much has changed since these photos . I am not sure what it looks like today but probably a lot different. Thanks. 💚
@@FRESHboosters We sure are bro. I've been very grateful for your amazing photographic collections of the old world for a few years now! The dedication will pay off I'm sure. Something big is going on behind the scenes with the emergence of highly confrontative takes on what really went on in the 1800s and a lot more. Cheers from Sunny Australia
@@FRESHboostersI'm another Australian visitor sending my appreciation and well wishes to you for all of your amazing efforts 🙏 Thank you! All the best for a positive, healthy and prosperous New Year ⭐
I very much enjoyed the video. St Augustine is one of my favorite cities. One correction: The French Huguenots were Calvinists, not Lutherans. One question: Are the gates we see in the photos the original Spanish ones?
I see Ether antennas on both of the hotels (former palaces) and the swimming pool was amaaaazingg! The architecture looks Tartarian. I'll make it to St Augustine one day, hopefully those buildings won't get too remodeled and lose their charm. I live in Sarasota, FL and there are a few old world buildings here too, not as many as that though. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos!
Wow it looks like that area they turned a lot of the better old world places into country clubs... Jon levi talks about how he noticed "they" love to put golf courses over a lot of the old world sites. Tbh... they could have been those domed homes or mounds they just flattened out and planted grass over.
Tampa Amtrak train station building is awesome too, along with buildings around it, but inside it on the information board it says that it was built by some guy recently which of course is BS
When I first moved to Fl ( from MA ) in 2006 , Augustine was my fav weekend getaway spot . It really takes you back still . Somewhere around 2010 they were trying to expand a coffee shop and of course found artifacts . We literally watched archeologists from the college in a semi-sealed work area doing their thing . Locals said it was normal anytime someone pulls a permit within days they end up sealing it up . I felt blessed to see it live.
Hi Jared, thanks so much for your awesome videos. I am from Florida Orlando. Several trips to Saint Augustine. Absolutely beautiful very well done video. Whatever you are going through really hope things work out for the best for you. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.
I lived there from the 70’s to early 2000’s. It’s so different today just from when I grew up there. My grandmother has photos from the 50’s and 60’s when the beaches looked amazing like silky white powder.
Gracias por el aporte ...genial el trabajo hecho acá. Rese-teos y demás...asi entiendo..! Antes... ya había tantas cosas. Nada hay nuevo. NADA..! Esta generación es la mas simple de todas. Gracias.!
Totally agree. You need to go back and watch I think from three months ago Jarid’s video on the asylums across the country. Those buildings were here way before we got here. They just didn’t know what to do with them, until people who knew the truth, started getting in their way. So you put those people in those buildings. It is an unbelievable video.
@6183matt I haven't lived there in 14 years but I did live there 15 years and had a good friend die in an auto accident on Ft Caroline. R.I.P. Nick. I had a lawn business in Jax Bch but cut grass all over Jax and St. Augustine. I really miss it but it's not the same anymore. That football team ruined that town.
God bless you, dear one, whatever your hard times may be. Liked and subscribed. You're the first to reveal so much history about St. Augustine. I love your inclusion of the architecture.
I grew up down the road from st Augustine. These pictures are all in the same area called "downtown st Augustine" a lot of structures still exist today. This is a tourist area , where we also have horse and carriage rides offered to tour through the area. You could walk it, it's pretty big though. There are "history plaques" throughout you can read at each site. There are a few original buildings throughout you can get tours through. Also many shopping , restaurants, and souvenir shops, etc. there's an old original medical office very small in size ( I do believe a lot of original structures still standing exterior made of flint stone, and shells interior of wood) told us that's where soldiers came and because of all the fighting many amputation procedures took place. They told us the body parts were tossed out of a window into the street where a big hole was dug where it all remains today under the street. Thought that was interesting. That's just one of many neat parts of history you would encounter here. I would say you need a good two days to fully learn it all just in the downtown St Augustine area. , .
I live in San Augustine Texas and it is nicknamed the oldest town in texas. It's technically the oldest Spanish mission town in Texas they've started saying. But it's got a few things that I believe may be off.. they do not let you investigate hardly any of the upstairs or downstairs in the buildings. I've lived there my entire life and never seen the inside of all the stores on the square.
Well done! I've lived in Daytona all my life, about 60 miles south of St. Augustine and it has always been a great place to go. The Bridge of Lions, Anastasia Island, Castillo de San Marcos, all cool stuff to see. A lot of great stores & restaurants. Thank you for the history lesson. It has explained a lot about what I've seen there.
Travelers Tower in Hartford CT had that same wild tower feature as the tall building that appears at @5:29. Kind of an elaborate giant collection of spheres at the very top of the tower. It blew off the Travelers building in the 70s and they never put it back. Always looked like it had some sort of purpose other than simply ornamentation.
In 1559 The oldest settle meant was pensacola with 1,500 people. By Don tristand de luna. After a while a hurricane hit it. Some of the settlers went to south caralina. It was abandond after 2 years. St. Augustine was the first permanent settlemeant tho.
Santa Fe NM says their the oldest settlement North of the Rio Grande, I've been to both cities and I'd have to go with Santa Fe.....Great Video, it's obvious castle building.
Happy New year from the Netherlands, thank you for sharing these fantastic and beautiful pictures from the past. The thing that stood out to me most was the swimming pool (some entrance room just set under water?) and the giant 'Indian' dome.
Pensacola settled in 1559. Just for those who care to know America's actual first European settlement. Otherwise, the indigenous people of the continent were here thousands of years ago.
Pensacola was the oldest established city yet sadly, it burned and took several years to rebuild. Therefore St Augustine touts the "Oldest City". Even in Tallahassee at Florida's Capitol it's engraved in the stone walls how Pensacola was established prior to St Augustine. I wrote about this yesterday here however, it seems to have been removed.
@@sj6052 several years? It was completely abandoned (by the spanish settlers) for over a century. Having Pensacola take a claim for oldest city is kind of like saying "I know you have been married for 40 years, but I married my wife 41 years ago...we divorced after 2 years, but we ended up getting back together 10 years later, so we have been married longer than you". I have lived in both cities, and I think they make the distinction in their claims in their signage/marketing with one claiming 1st settlement and the other claiming oldest coninuously occupied or something of that nature. Facts are facts, of course, so Pensacola's first short lasting settlement was indeed prior to the settlement of St. Augustine. Unfortunately for Pensacola there is really nothing for tourists to see from the original settlement. UWF has done a few archeological digs in the past and recovered some items. If you have not visited either I would recommend both, and while there really is little to nothing to see in Pensacola in terms of settlement, there is a lot of other interesting historical stuff to see.
Florida in general is one of the most curious states by far. Interestingly, the only known place on Earth that has four rivers that flow from one head is in Pasco County. The four rivers that flow from Green Swamp are Hillsborough, Withlacoochee, Ocklawaha, and Peace Rivers. Thanks for your work as always.
Interesting water vessel @12:58 painted with "Metamora Lucas New Line" on the side and "Metamora of Palatka" on the front. Looks old and repurposed, and appears to have sunk after that photo. Many places named Metamora in USA and a play Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags is a play written in 1829 by John Augustus Stone. It was first performed December 15, 1829, at the Park Theater in New York City, starring Edwin Forrest.

I think St. Aug is a sleeping giant, energetically speaking. Not awake yet, but destined to shine again.
The swimming pool in the casino looks like a flooded entrance foyer
That was exactly as i saw it too, no doubt.

Also many shopping , restaurants, and souvenir shops, etc. there's an old original medical office very small in size ( I do believe a lot of original structures still standing exterior made of flint stone, and shells interior of wood) told us that's where soldiers came and because of all the fighting many amputation procedures took place. They told us the body parts were tossed out of a window into the street where a big hole was dug where it all remains today under the street. Thought that was interesting. That's just one of many neat parts of history you would encounter here. I would say you need a good two days to fully learn it all just in the downtown St Augustine area. , .
I live in San Augustine Texas and it is nicknamed the oldest town in texas. It's technically the oldest Spanish mission town in Texas they've started saying. But it's got a few things that I believe may be off.. they do not let you investigate hardly any of the upstairs or downstairs in the buildings. I've lived there my entire life and never seen the inside of all the stores on the square.
Thanks man
As always loved it thankyou :) And Happy New Year from Queensland Australia xoxo
HAPPY NEW YEAR JARID 🎉
Great channel and great work!
I believe the fountain ⛲️ of youth is there too
Well done! I've lived in Daytona all my life, about 60 miles south of St. Augustine and it has always been a great place to go. The Bridge of Lions, Anastasia Island, Castillo de San Marcos, all cool stuff to see. A lot of great stores & restaurants. Thank you for the history lesson. It has explained a lot about what I've seen there.
You've lived that close your whole life and you didn't know these things?
Travelers Tower in Hartford CT had that same wild tower feature as the tall building that appears at @5:29. Kind of an elaborate giant collection of spheres at the very top of the tower. It blew off the Travelers building in the 70s and they never put it back. Always looked like it had some sort of purpose other than simply ornamentation.
Castillo de San Marcos is very well preserved. It has been featured in a number of "ghost hunter" episodes.
In 1559 The oldest settle meant was pensacola with 1,500 people. By Don tristand de luna. After a while a hurricane hit it. Some of the settlers went to south caralina. It was abandond after 2 years. St. Augustine was the first permanent settlemeant tho.
I visited here once as a kid.. was awesome. Catching baby sharks off the mile long pier.
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic
Florida.👍
Santa Fe NM says their the oldest settlement North of the Rio Grande, I've been to both cities and I'd have to go with Santa Fe.....Great Video, it's obvious castle building.
Happy New year from the Netherlands, thank you for sharing these fantastic and beautiful pictures from the past. The thing that stood out to me most was the swimming pool (some entrance room just set under water?) and the giant 'Indian' dome.
Cement, sand and coquina shells... 😢
You also forgot to mention it was the most hugest trade slave area in the world...
The swimming pool in the hotel is now a restaurant, at the bottom of what was the pool
Fantastic info here, thank you Jarid. You mentioned Edison & electricity. I would love to know from where & how Edison got electricity to this area.
Happy new year Jarid
Loved it !!!
Excellent work
Pensacola settled in 1559. Just for those who care to know America's actual first European settlement. Otherwise, the indigenous people of the continent were here thousands of years ago.
Pensacola was the oldest established city yet sadly, it burned and took several years to rebuild. Therefore St Augustine touts the "Oldest City". Even in Tallahassee at Florida's Capitol it's engraved in the stone walls how Pensacola was established prior to St Augustine. I wrote about this yesterday here however, it seems to have been removed.
@@sj6052 several years? It was completely abandoned (by the spanish settlers) for over a century. Having Pensacola take a claim for oldest city is kind of like saying "I know you have been married for 40 years, but I married my wife 41 years ago...we divorced after 2 years, but we ended up getting back together 10 years later, so we have been married longer than you". I have lived in both cities, and I think they make the distinction in their claims in their signage/marketing with one claiming 1st settlement and the other claiming oldest coninuously occupied or something of that nature. Facts are facts, of course, so Pensacola's first short lasting settlement was indeed prior to the settlement of St. Augustine. Unfortunately for Pensacola there is really nothing for tourists to see from the original settlement. UWF has done a few archeological digs in the past and recovered some items. If you have not visited either I would recommend both, and while there really is little to nothing to see in Pensacola in terms of settlement, there is a lot of other interesting historical stuff to see.
Native Americans came to North America from elsewhere, just keep that in mind. Who did they kick out ...
The beach there is awesome.
Florida in general is one of the most curious states by far. Interestingly, the only known place on Earth that has four rivers that flow from one head is in Pasco County. The four rivers that flow from Green Swamp are Hillsborough, Withlacoochee, Ocklawaha, and Peace Rivers. Thanks for your work as always.
It also has the only swamp that's fed by 4 rivers. The largest fresh water reserve in Florida is in Dixie County.
Be well, and God bless.
I so appreciate what you do and accomplish!
Health Wealth Happiness and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! To everyone!
Interesting water vessel @12:58 painted with "Metamora Lucas New Line" on the side and "Metamora of Palatka" on the front. Looks old and repurposed, and appears to have sunk after that photo. Many places named Metamora in USA and a play Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags is a play written in 1829 by John Augustus Stone. It was first performed December 15, 1829, at the Park Theater in New York City, starring Edwin Forrest.
2:19 what are those lights in the sky that reflect in the water!
Thank you,noticed moors are coming up more frequent, hmmm ?? 😊
