A beautiful , different era,.... incredible what was accomplished in a very short period by fantastic engineers, craftsman , masons etc.... the detail is 100% Tartarian Age...its literally a different world....electrical trams !!! We have not evolved we have "devolved' over time....sad. I wish i could've been there to see the builders in action !!! Phenomenal !!!

It would be if marvelous if these snapshots had dates for the generations yet unborn

[@TheHiltonblake]

Oh, wow!.. I LOVE these old pics!.. Do some of them date back to the late 1800's?.. 🤔

[@kingmufasa8929]

Yes

[@richardthompson5810]

It would be nice to see a date on each photo

i feel like the things people dont like about cape town now are a result of late stage captalism taking advantage of the the government, im pretty sure we lost a large portion of those buildings during apartheid. im just upset we lost the trams. a rail network would greatly benefit all people who live here.

It was an incredible civilization on Earth, same buildings all over the world, same technologies!
Nothing to do with colonialism at all!
