great question! we may never know. lots of lost artifacts and huge statues disappearing in my city of milwaukee over the past couple hundred years... most of them being gigantic goddess statues with generic names that vanish after ~5-10 yrs of completions.. from my perspective, it seems as tho the founder class wanted to erase the remnants of an old world that worshipped divine feminine in many forms...
Right on! Great to find your channel! Excellent BOTG work - thank you ;) Absolutely incredible images.I hope I can get down there one day to do some exploring. I really appreciate your teaching and sharing of information. Take care! LeeAnn
@@johnlenz420they say "plan" because that is what maps of cities are called. It's a city plan. The reason they look impractical is because city planners in the 1800s decided that grids are the best, so they tried to cram grids into the natural landscape, which often resulted in odd or impractical lots when the rigid grid came up against natural features, or existing development
Old world remnants still exist in New Orleans. Audubon park, city park, downtown, uptown, French Market, Hibernia Bank bldg, theaters etc. Just open your eyes and you will see it.
Audubon Park: built in 1871 on the site of a former plantation and civil war camp City Park: Built starting in 1891, after being acquired by the city in 1850, formerly a plantation French Market: Oldest surviving pavilion built in 1813, heavy renovations and expansions in 1867, 1889, 1915, 1937, and 1980 Hibernia Bank Building: built from 1920-1921

It’s very intuitive for the 1700s
There is a "Fair Grounds" horse race track in New Orleans today. Described as America's 3rd oldest and in the middle of New Orleans.
very interesting. i wonder what its purpose was originally
Agriculture. Fair grounds. There were plantations. Metairie is french for farm.
What i want to know is what happened to all of this stuff? Like all of the artifacts?

That rock looks like a piece of reef from Fiji.
very odd looking, someone in the live chat says it appears to be slag, seems very out of place considering
@@johnlenz420 the second rock looks like slag, but the first one is porous
@@johnlenz420 also, it’s funny how you mentioned CERN
@@johnlenz420 also, it’s funny how you mentioned CERN
@@MrRollingstone66 yea the paris expo picture had those concentric rings just like cern. still feel like slag would not be the best gift lol
Only the tv version started then. This is native events
been to new orleans and never heard of the cotton expo but the street lay outs are odd
most people have never heard of it. also the layout of the streets is so impractical, so odd how all these maps say "plan"
