"They called it the jewel city.
It rose from the mudflats..."
Literally! 👁🙈
THIS IS A DAMN LIE
Nine years after one of the greatest earthquakes to hit a city, they built a city that looks far more advanced and glorious than their own.. then they tore it down. Makes sense... where did they find all those artisans? Why not rebuild the city of San Francisco itself, not an expo of "temporary" pieces of architectural majesty?
Exactly. Nothing about it makes sense like something from The Twilight Zone living in a world where the absurd is logical and the ones who are pointing this out are the crazy ones.
Look into this channel (Jon Levi).
And be shock in what you find.
History isn't what you've been told.
Think about this.
Observe all the buildings in photos from the mid/late 1800's.
They range from castle like, roman-greco style, megaliths, intricate designs etc.
Now ask yourself this.
How did a horse/buggy people with very little if any tech/engineering/skill laborers build them ?
They didn't, and you'll see how your post is part of what I'm implying.

you know all those buildings were built to be temporary right? it was meant to be torn down after like every other worlds fair. san francisco is a beautiful city with surprising historical preservation. if you’ve been, you would know the vast amount of well preserved beautifully painted victorian and edwardian homes, masonry beaux arts hotels, gold gilded city hall, opera houses, etc still there. they rebuilt the palace of fine arts because it wasn’t structurally sound, as all the materials to make it were meant to be temporary, like plaster, and wood and metal framing rather than masonry.
Watching the model of the fair made me think, wait!, did they built this for a temporary exhibition? It makes no sense at all. Where is that architect? He must have been famous, right?
Wouldn't it have been wonderful if the city of San Francisco had made the necessary deals to preserve the buildings from the World's Fair of 1915, imagine the number of people who would very much in our time love to see and visit it. And if the funds which could flow from this would be like a sort of Disneyland.
Thank you very much Tim for sharing this interesting story. It's amazing ... only few years after the disastrous earthquake! I had the same your thought
about the not preserved pavilions :) You can imagine the astonishment of the people who visit them, in a so different world from the present one...! g.

Don't you wish, Gabriella, that we could take a time machine to visit this so beautiful exhibition in San Francisco in 1915! You make a fine point about the city rebuilding in so short a time, after the huge earthquake of 1906.
It is something I truly admire about the Seattle Center, that it has been preserved so far as I know, very much like it was when it opened in 1962. I think I likely mentioned that I went to the World's Fair in Seattle in '62 with my mother, my aunt Ruth and my cousin Melanie ☺

Most of the buildings were built by the previous generation of giants .And in order to wipe it all out, they conduct a Worlds Fair as a front.

What would be wonderful is if people would realize that the official narrative is complete hogwash to keep you locked in chains of darkness and unaware of your true identity.Christ is coming!get converted back to Christ now-before its too late.or dont..the bell has been wrung.the trumpets have trumped.Lord have mercy on us all..
How is it possible to build all of this beautiful stone buildings and then tear them down. Something doesn't make sense.
Most of the buildings were made of a plaster and burlap mix and were meant as temporary structures. Basically a huge theatrical set
@@cloud9smokeshop what a joke , "Queen Califias Mural" in the Mark Hopkins Hotel explains the truth, if you're into that sort of thing. Ignorance is bliss, just not in the matrix.
cloud9smokeshop ....those buildings existed long before the miners showed up lol
@@cloud9smokeshop Are there examples anywhere on earth today of buildings made with "Plaster and burlap?" And 9 years in the making is absolutely NOT temporary! Plaster exposed to the elements wouldn't last even months! I'm a carpenter/builder of 31 years experience so don't bullshit me! SMHID.
People don't make sense. Progress ?
Lies! lies! Those buildings were there already and that's why they pulled them down so people wouldn't start wondering about their architecture. These types of beautiful buildings are found in most parts of the world. Were they all built for a fair in the same architectural style? And why after spending so much money and such elaborate decorations inside and outside would they just pull them down? People should have been in an uproar for such a wasteful disgrace!!!!
bravo ben!
Tartaria. Kind regards form Poland.
Wtf kind of new breed of ignorance is this?
@@Brendissimo1 then why is the Kyoto what became the Trainstation building already built exactly like those buildings in that greek style when the first europeans only there and found it like this? Other buildings around japan aswell. There was a ancient global empire
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti plain not globe..
"..built to last just ten months," my arse.
@pyropulse Doubt they meant it would decay. Just that it was meant to be there for 10 months, and after that it would be taken out and replaced with other houses, buildings.It is a shame, that they didn't keep more of it at least as it was.
@@julienielsen3746 They are lying.
@@bdog0212 No, 'they' are not.

The real question is how could a bunch of miners and explorers build such a city from 1848 to 1878:)
Also keep in mind that the gold dried up 8 years after it was found, so where did the funds came from after 1856?
Also keep in mind that the "settlers" didn't start right away building churches and huge buildings.
Some of the huge buildings including the two churches were build in about what...15 years??
I live in the Netherlands in the old city of Hoorn where there are lots of old buildings and churches and they took generations to build;)
My two cents is that the Spanish were there long before they "discovered" gold;)
This is just sooo obvious it's almost funny.
Never mind they did this ALL during a civil war;)
Also don't overlook the fact that there were 2 churches:) as if the protestants and christians wanted their own church sooo bad:)
I believe the Gold Rush was people plundering gold from the city that was found. That's why it dried up so fast. The narrative makes no sense.
Why don't you fools _research it?_
Actual research through archives; not garbage and lies from Jon Levi and those idiotic enough to believe him.
I think you do have a valid point. I visited the Liverpool Cathedral in Liverpool, UK a few years ago. I saw the construction photos. It took two hundred years to complete that single building (and it's magnificent). Either these temporary structures were made of burlap and plaster; or they were made of cut granite. Arguing about it will get us nowhere. I don't accept that these 200 buildings were made of brick or cut granite, either; because demolishing them in the late 1800s, in a single year, would be almost as great a feat as building them! However, I'm not going to waste my life thinking about it. I may as well waste my time trying to find out who constructed the actual Apollo 16 Capsule that "flew to the Lunar surface."
So the city is built out of carved stone, which is made to last thousands of years...that takes hundreds of years to sculpt and build...by builders who had no knowledge of stone cutting. Anyone who cannot figure out that it was built by a previous, ancient culture of fine artisans who beheld the lost art of stone cutting, is clueless.
It was made of plaster and wood, not stone!
freddie mars Look at the video, you can see the light steel construction of the exhibition halls. And see the photos of the site under construction.
freddie mars The Arts Building arch and dome was torn down in the mid sixties and completely rebuilt. Many photos of the demolition can be found.
Nobody said the 435´ tower was made of plaster! It is a steel structure covered with plaster decorations.
Steel was used in skyscrapers since 1895. The Singer building built in 1908 was 612' tall, so technically no problem for 1915!
Look for photos of the demolition of the buildings: the steel and thin covering is clearly visible!!!
Why do you need to believe these constructions were already there, and no one noticed, right next to a large city?
freddie mars It is in the city, not on the fair ground.
Look for San Francisco Civic Center history. In a second you will find a few good photos of its construction.
Nothing special about it really.
You understand people were able to build stone buildings in 1915, no? Note it is steel with stone facing, like many others of the time.
San Fransco Chronicle:
Jan 9, 1915:"Auditorium to open tonight"
Jan 16, 1915:"New San Francisco Auditorium will be a 1915 monument."
"Great structure will be permanent reminder of splendor of exposition."
In a word, a permanent city building from the start.
Have a nice day.
@@alaingadbois2276 look at the Crystal Palace in London then. Impossible even by todays standards to build in that time. A building 3 times as large as empire state building covered in glas in a time where it was handblown LMFAO sure bro. Burned down (Glas) because a security called "C. mason" didnt act quick enough? Yeah also sure lmfaoooo
I'd be lying if I claimed to know exactly where all these world fairs/immaculate architecture comes from, but I'm intrigued to say the very least.
Research Great Tartarian Empire
Tartaria. Kind regards form Poland.
Those world fairs were a excuse to change history and destroy thousands and thousands of old immaculate architecture. Its so crazy I first didnt believe it myself. But freemasons got their hands all over this to destroy the "old world" and its historic remnants of our true roots
Most if not all modern human HIStory is a lie.
@Thomas Cibula who?
I just cannot believe that in 9 years a mini city was built to later be destroy leaving shitty vestiges only. Come on showing animations mixed with the real thing does not make up for the truth. Do no lie tell people why all was demolished.
Why was it demolished?
Why was it destroyed?
@@alivewithchrist777 To cover up the real history, we have been duped!!
Why don't you research documents and photos held at Berkeley's Bancroft Library?
Some are available online.
@@-oiiio-3993bro you funny asf i looked up your source and all it showed was some pictures of the buildings already finished and a bogus asf hand drawn map lol you gullible as HELL!! Boi I bet you vaccinated with boosters and all
Needed a reason to tear down hints of past.
Utter nonsense.
Where did the millions of people stay? How were they fed? Why is everyone in the film clips look well off?
Yea this doesn’t make sense to me. I smell something fishy
Research Tartaria. @3:32 THE TYPEWRITER GIANT.
Ha!Ha!
Ask about the mud flood and Tartaria
Funny isn't it they build all these structures? Just to rip them down? But they can build over 200 buildings in less that two months... yet we can't build like that now?
Not one picture or video of them building it....I dont believe after the giant earthquake a few years before they were able to build this. Just to tear it down. This was already there when the settlers showed up
MudFlood Reset , Queen Califia, Tartarian Structures

The million dollar question is how the hell did they achieve this in the early 1900s??
No, the real question is how could a bunch of miners and explorers build such a city from 1848 to 1878:)

Because they took and destroyed what was already there to change our history and perception of it
@@sljsmit The city was already there for probably a thousand years.
Why don't you research it?
@@bdog0212 Absolute rubbish.
Do "THEY" actually want us to believe they built those magnificent buildings, with a horse and buggy civilization and then just to turn around and tear most of them down, now I've heard some crazy things but this tops the list! Those buildings were already here!!!!
who are "they"? and no, I'm not going to google anything
@@L.Spencer Stay Stu-pid
@@philyb3040 no explanation of they?
L. Spencer Don't hope for any facts! Sad thing most who comment here don't seem to be aware (or deny) of the massive economic power that the US was at the start of the 20th century. Horse and buggy civilization is such a dishonest and ignorant description.

Yeah, 10 months!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I used to believe in Santa too.
Now what kind of parents would donate their babies for the new life-saving baby incubators?
Don't be ignorant, that was cutting-edge technology back then. Would you've rather just lay your baby in a hospital crib and watch it die?...
Oh and who else was waiting for "YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW.....YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW.....YOURE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW AND YOUR NOT SO BIG ANYMORE.....LIFE IS UNFAIR" as they played that Gape Horn sounding song at the end? I think everyone involved in this video usually works in Gape Horn 100% of the time.
Look on UA-cam: Fine Arts Palace Demolished (1964). You can see the original structure taken down. It is made of wood, not stone. The present one is an identical copy made in permanent materials.
THEN WHY DID YOU DEMOLISH IT???
The Field Museum in Chicago STILL STANDS. I'm sick of this stuff.
Why build something that is so beautiful and just dismantle it? But they left the palace of fine art?! That is a solid permanent building. Why? Such a waste of resources. Can anyone please tell me why?

Disgusting what these people did to destroy the beautiful architecture on a level we’ve never seen, can’t be letting people have free energy now can we?
There are some holes in this narrative.
what a propaganda piece
This was an amazing story. Great shots, great editing, and wonderful storytelling. KQED has a great film crew.
Yeah!Great story telling, but only this time i would like to hear the real story thank you very much.
Great cover up and great actor spokesperson
Liars and thieves get tarred and feathered and run out or town....LIARS
He destroyed it take to destroy everything else that was probably one of the most beautiful things on this planet and the destroyer Kate destroy everything that’s good and I’m truly people see that we’re going to get destroyed
They built it in 6 Months and then tore it down? What?!!! Lath and plaster my Azz!!
It was already there. That's y it was destroyed. We didn't build it.
A theory of beauty, i think beauty is of utmost importance for the human psyche. It is very important for our well being and happiness to be surrouned by beautiful things. Humans are creatures who crave for beauty,. beauty in the food we eat in the form of taste, beauty in the sounds we hear in the form of music or the chants of the birds, beauty in the form of nice aromas or the beauty of being touched by people we love. We are sexually attracted to beauty.
I think being surrouned by uglyness in all of it's forms, be it ugly architecture, ugly smells, ugly noise, is detrimental for our psychological health. Modern architects shuld be more mindful of this and should really take into account beauty when designing buildings or urban spaces. The effects of beauty or lack thereof on our human psyche may be more profound than we think of, it may even affect social cohesion, safety, our desire to take care of the place we live, how connected we feel to the community, etc.
"Mud Flats" uhhhh hunh...hey can I get Jon Levi over here in the comments please.....paging Jon Levi to the comments section....bring Scout or whatever the doggos name-o is....I can't recall at the moment cause this delicate snowflake said the concessions stands were Ray Shisht?!?!?
vaya montaña de mentiras.....
BULLSHIT ITS TARTARIA!!!
Let them say whatever they want let them lie let them lie. We already have awakened. We already figured alot out. They are trying very hard but the more lies the cringier it is
Tartarian conspiracy theorists are the qanon of architecture. 😂
KQED is covering up History. Like the Palace of fine arts is a temporary structure haha. No mention of Tartaria.
derp is strong with this one
you know they rebuilt the palace right?

Lies!lies💥💥💥💥💥💥💢💢💢👎
This was one of the last great expositions where architects and figurative sculptors worked together. Most of the buildings were temporary structures as were the sculptures. In essence the temporary buildings were like a movie set. Steel frame and panels of the buildings and sculptures made of a plaster gypsum and chopped hemp material, that was easier to work with called Staff or artificial travertine. Models of sculptures were pointed to monumental scale using a 3d pantograph which manually found hundreds to thousands of points that made the process much faster. Many of you are skeptical and it is no wonder because you were never taught or educated about these expositions or the American Renaissance. I have been researching this for over 50 years and if there is any blame or cover up it is from a greedy modernist art society. Remove great art so we can put our crap on the pedestal. The Expositions were taken out of the art history books, in order to promote modernism as the greatest thing in art. Add to that the insistence that drawing.painting and sculpting from the human form was dead,. The media and universities also fell for this bull shit and many still refuse to teach the traditional methods to draw, paint and sculpt and basically could not if they tried today. Architects also have no clue how to collaborate with sculptors and sculptors in general have no clue how to create monumental sculpture anymore.. What other occupation requires absolutely no education nor training? Would you hire an untrained architect, doctor, contractor , plumber or electrician? Do your research before you spout what little you know. Even the expositions in Paris were temporary. Walt Disney was inspired by the NY worlds Fair. And Disneyland was born. There was a grand pride in the nation after the Civil War and before the first world war. A country that isn't busy with endless war begins to create great things.
Is this mockery of one’s intelligence? Nice made up bedtime story for those who are asleep.

youtube comments are your litterbox
Fake history
The ignorance shown in this comment thread is beyond belief, truly epic.
Man, never has a greater truth been said in this comment section. Makes me feel sick to contemplate all that willful ignorance.
Come on! Do your research! It is ignorance that make people invent wild theories that do not stand up to the slightest test. The fairs are temporary buildings made of plaster and wood. They fall apart after a few years. Look for the science museum in Chicago. It had to be rebuilt in permanent materials after a few years.
Sagebrush Whisperer you know here we're discussing the 1915 fair. So what do you believe? That would make things clearer. A lot of circumstances control our lives. I believe concentration of weath is the greatest threat (and a sign of failure of democracy). Also ignorance is turning manny back to a level similar to the middle ages, in spite of the mass of info available.
Look into the answer I already gave in the Maple1255 comment.
Also never said anyone was stupid.
