My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother arrived in Galveston from Sweden about 3 weeks after the Great Storm. Didn't speak much english. One of his first job upon arriving in America. Was to help pickup dead bodies and clean up Galveston. He also help build the sea wall. Still have family that lives in Galveston. I and a lot family live around the Houston area.
Architectural majesty as old and magnificent as anything standing anywhere in this world, purposely wiped out because it was smoking gun evidence that america is MUCH MUCH older than the crap that we were taught. Fantastic images and ty for greatly fortifying my Old Galveston image folder.
Thank you so much for this !!, I was born and raised in Galveston County.Quite a few of these buildings still stand today !! The business district (The Strand) is block after block of tartarian buildings !!
I love Galveston so much. Some of the houses are still standing to this day like The Moody Mansion, the bishop Palace Ashton Villa. And the oldest house in Galveston, the Menard house Built-In 1838 and other wonderful beautiful houses. And the strand with its beautiful architecture
Loved to hear your co-host! Very smart kid you've got there! ❤ Very interesting that they made the observation that everything is boxes, nowadays. I noticed that same thing as a child, so many decades ago...and wondered greatly why we couldn't build anything pretty, anymore. It always saddened me. Also saddening that so many of these ancient and mysterious buildings have been demolished. 😥
Sooo amazing!! The cathedrals look like court houses...which look like post offices...which look like opera houses...which look like the hospitals... which look like mansions...which look like city and town halls...which look like the hotels...which look like the customs house...which look like the schools...and there certainly is a lot of schools considering the population...wait.... 😂 Just ridiculous....amazing job par usual brother, this was adorable. Email incoming soon. Hahahahah.....I made that comment before your son said "can't there be little schools". That's a kids instinct right there....they know something is wrong but don't even know at the same time. So very amazing.
Wow, I've heard stories describing the hurricane in 1900 but I've never really seen real pictures before and after, just artwork and short reenactments. Thank you so much!
This was a great tour of images and how beautiful the old buildings were in Galveston. Someone mentioned how the skills and trades to build in such a way are not seen or used as much. Pretty true like the trades today plumbing, electrical, and hvac not much young people in those skilled trades. Again thanks for the view of Old Galveston
I had to pause 2 minutes in. I am so mind blown. A) I had no idea Galveston was once the largest city in Texas. B) I have never even heard of the Galveston hurricane. I thought Katrina or the San Francisco "Earthquake" would have been the worst disaster in US History. Why have I never heard of this?? C) at only 2 minutes in these buildings are mind blowing!!!!! They look like they belong in the land of Oz because they don't seem "of this World." I promise I'm going to resume watching, but just not knowing about the Galveston hurricane or that so many architecturally stunning buildings were IN Galveston (GALVESTON?? The oil and gas blip on the map???) makes me want to run around in circles screaming... We have been lied to our whole lives 😑😔
I honestly find it hard to believe it was the biggest...I suspect it's a part of the narrative they throw in to explain away the magnificence of the architecture. The geographical location doesn't allow for much expansion. I have looked into the major cities in Texas and they have their own old world architecture with a thin backstory..who knows? Galveston is an old world gem to be sure..thanks for watching!
@@KB-ke3fi Again, mind-blowing. I had to re-read my comment because it was 5 months ago. My whole life I thought Galveston was an oil and gas blip on the radar. I had no idea of its majestic history. Having the first newspaper and first electricity in Texas speaks volumes.
@21:00 Yes, it is real. I went to medical school in Galveston. Have been on tours of all those old magical buildings. BUT "Old Red" the Ashbel Smith building is my favorite- Its the heart of the medical school. We did anatomy lab in the top floor with big skylights. There were preserved dissections from 1912 in containers. The inside. Double grand staircases. Operating theater. The ceilings. It had a very "Titanic" feel. The fact that your are working on a cadaver in the same place as many doctors did before you. Gave it more of a vibe than working on a modern building. I have a class photo of us on the (outside) staircase and up on the balcony.
@@AF_1892 I will definitely look up the Ashbel Smith building when I get home from work today. You said it gave you a Titanic feel, but just in reading your description of it being where you worked on cadavers, and the class picture, I got a "The Shining" feel. Very much looking forward to learning more.
I’ve been to Galveston, a lot of those big buildings still exist. The city really relies on selling the hurricane narrative though. I really liked hearing your cohost today.
Freemasonic lodges like crazy! Anyone who doesn't think freemasonry isn't the religion of the world and especially the "New world" have some screws loose.
The pictures of those dead people are truly terrible. Nobody deserves to die like they did. All life is fragile and should be protected, treasured, and venerated. May their souls RIP +++ amen. Much love from Chicago.
Your daughter is so smart, and her instincts about schools are spot on.. I think as we get older we forget how much we hated going to school, and it wasn’t because of bullies and waking up early, it was because of the authoritarian bastions of mediocrity that would get off on bossing us around and telling us what to do and what to think… our school system doesn’t need more money it needs a complete overhaul, one that doesn’t train kids to be good 9-5 worker ants but instead helps kids find their interests and passions and then helps them make that into a career.. in the old world there seems to have been a far better system of education, architecture, art, science, and overall spiritually enriching inspiration..
Some of these buildings still exist. You'll find homes and buildings with little "Survivor of the 1900 Great Storm" plaques on them. Aston Villa is there. It's now an event space, my oldest son got married in the pavilion there and they did the dinner inside. The first medical school in Texas is part of the hospital complex down there. It's a red stone building, officially named the Ashbel Smith Building but they call it "Old Red". Murdocks has been destroyed several times in hurricanes, it's rebuilt again in its usual spot and is there still. Several of the downtown buildings survived the hurricane, but the Tremont house in that shot isn't there. There is a Tremont House hotel in Galveston but it's something that was rebuilt by George Moody. It's got a beautiful bar in it. The Beach hotel (the stone one) that was built after the 1900 storm is still there and called the Galvez. It's very ornate inside. Several of the churches survived, the bigger ones. There's a famous picture of the debris from 1900 up against St. Patrick's Cathedral on Broadway (old Avenue J). It's still there. St. Mary's (the one with the spires) was built in 1837 and stands today. You said you didn't know if the stories of jacking up the buildings to raise the city happened. It did. There are many photos of it available, including the raising of St. Patrick's. There are a few homes that didn't get raised and they have the first floor buried and what we see are the second stories. The city was built on a coastal island and it was almost sea level. Once the storm had flooded the entire island (the harbor and gulf met in the middle, which is why it was so badly destroyed), the city managers decided to build a 17-foot sea wall to protect the Gulf side of the island along 10 miles. The island buildings starting behind the sea wall and going in a slope to the downtown area and wharves were raised from 15 foot to 5 foot to raise the grade against future flooding. The Strand and business district (the area 2-4 blocks from the wharves on the back side of the island) flooded in 2009 with Tropical Storm Imelda and there are stores and buildings that record how high the water got in that time. Galveston has a very rich history, both in weather related stories and the stories of the people and buildings that are there. It's a very interesting place.
My Great Grandfather was there in the Great Storm and was a part of the Christian Soldiers. He wrote of how they put the bodies on barges and sent them out to sea, but they came back, and they had to burn them. He believed there was over ten thousand that perished because a new ship that arrived the people had not been processed and recorded.
Galveston, oh Gal ves ton...I still hear your sea winds blowin' excellent episode - nicely done! btw, Your co host has good instincts :) much love to you guys and to the Olde World :)
It's called "Galvetraz". You have to make sure you have enough gas money to do the 2 hour round trip to go out in Houston every few weeks. Or else you get island fever! I bought my 2003 truck and premium gas was $3.65. I calculated out how much it would cost me per month 8-17mpg. It's still going. With collector plates. Gas is still similar wallet dent. I'd get back and sometimes back up on the beach, lay in the back, watch the tide come in and listen to music. My place was 3 blocks away. Go Phi Chi! My co-ed fraternity.
The Galveston That Was... Is a wonderful book, the OG, as it were! I hope you have or get it one day. I'd send it to ya man, but sold mine during the pandemic.
Take HWY-3 to Broadway, Navigation, HWY-90 start Louisiana and goes across Texas. You can find graves markers along the way. Market street one of the oldies streets.
I wonder if these structures are still able to harness energy from the ether. This was a very enjoyable video, your co-host was a very good reader and asked some great questions. I've never been to Galveston, lived in San Antonio for a while and entered the MEPS there. Wouldn't go to Houston but that's just me haha!
that's one of the weird mysteries they do move huge buildings , just do a search on YT. there is film of huge buildings being moved, you will be amazed, I don't know if that civilization is us though. It might be films found by the inheritors and they just switched up the dates.
@@mysteriesoftherealm Hi! Very cool...I will have to check that out for sure...it sounds crazy :) I have been thinking of the giant stones around the world all day today....and how they moved them and built with them ect....thanks for letting me know!
@@justinamontgomery2618 It is crazy, they have one building on a barge , floating it on the water to its destination, Mysteries of the Realm, HA AHA AH AHA!
We dont build like this today because: these were built prior ti the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation, when there was a value of the Dollar, and when the Elites paid no tax at all, and we didnt have to pay a tax to work. It was also a time of Craftsmen, and the Building Products (Limestone, Slate, Marble, etc), required Stone Masons, Speciality Craftsmen, Artists, or they were wooden. We use Steel Framing and countless new products.
Yes! I was wondering when someone would chat about Galveston. I’ve been going there every summer my entire life. We toured some of those mansions, and they brought up how the fence used to be taller but it was buried in the 1900s storm. It’s the first thing I think about when I learned of mudflooding. And the whole 1900s storm narrative is so heavily pushed there… my sister has lived there since 1996. I wonder if she could fathom all these photos! She works for the historical society, even. I’m sure they have so many narratives they push.
The 1900 Storm is NOT a narrative! If 9,000 to 12,000 persons died in one evening it would be hard to forget--the changes that were made to the Island so that it could continue to be a good city, good shipping port and good medical school training ground for doctors. Engineering feat, resilience of citizens, and heroic survival stories...what's wrong with pushing that?
My first apartment was the 2nd floor of that Masonic lodge at 8 mins in. A large patio was added later to it and my roommates and I had many parties out there 😇 2416 post office is the address if you want to see it present day. Thank you for this!
Happened across your Galveston, TX video today and wish I had NOT. What's this narrative you reference in this video? Obviously, you did no research on Galveston. These photos can be sourced in National Archives or any library in Galveston County. You are giving people some weird scenario about Galveston Island. It was originally inhabited by Native Americans, then Jean Lafitte, the pirate and when he was banished from Island by American government, investors coming to Texas knew the value of the natural port for commerce. There was a grade raising of buildings after the great Galveston Storm of 1900. You said you have doubts about it. If a bldg could not be raised the bottom floor was filled in with sand that was pumped out of Galveston Bay. Most of old wrought iron fences are short because they just buried most of the fence. Took approx. 11 years to finish. There are lots of photos of how it was done. Galveston architecture is still breathtaking. There is also no conspiracy about the orphanages. Yellow fever made many orphans in the South. Do your research. Lived in Galveston County for 69 years...knew people who lived through the 1900 storm, had a neighbor who grew up in the orphanage used in your video, close friend was on the Board of that orphanage. What's your point? Even married into the family of Jean Lafitte's 2nd Lieutenant, who settled across the Bay in what is now Texas City. It's all true. Narrative about slavery--? Galveston treated gently concerning slavery? It was in Galveston that the news reached Texas about the Emancipation Declaration which was announced on June 19th--Juneteenth. Must remember Galveston was just a few decades old when Civil War started. I cannot believe I'm spending my time writing this, but you touched a nerve about my beloved Galveston by suggesting that it's history is a "narrative". The Storm was real, the history is real, the architecture (most done by old world European immigrants who came thru Galveston to America) is beautifiul and it WAS the biggest city in Texas when the 1900 hurricane hit it. Texas wasn't settled extensively until 20th century. Not a narrative. Do your research. Thumbs down.
Everything is a narrative...whether it's true or not. I obviously struck an emotional nerve with you, and that's fine. My channel explores potential historical deceptions by pointing out the weak parts of the historical narrative we are presented. You basically recited the wikipedia version of Galveston. I have learned not to trust the official line history lays out for us...and I suggest there are nefarious forces at play that seek to keep us in the dark as to the truth of our past. I appreciate you watching...whether you like it or not.
Wikipedia? I lived in Galveston, Galveston County for over 70 years. I know a lot of the personal histories of local folks. Not depending on newspapers and media. It's a shame that as the older generations die that folks can make up their own "narrative". Research, research from non-biased sources...historical records, etc. What a world we live in now. Won't bother you again and will not be watching you destroy real events in the past. You need to get into a library! @@oldworldex
@@oldworldexI think patty is triggered because she’s probably one of those galveston lifers who are so in love with it smh they’re everywhere in that town. She’s also being a hypocrite because everything she’s saying about galveston is easily googled 😂
Any Dr's in the comments that went through anatomy lab in the top floor of "Old Red"? It was such an overwheming experience, bc it is your first class in medical school. But get over your emotions there is a cadaver to dissect. The building definitely is intimidating. For the 1st test (only 2 for 8 weeks! No pressure) the teachers made it Hawii style with hula skirts to get us to relax. It helped, but a lot of people are weeded out there. God bless all the Souls who donated their bodies to science, so that we could learn.
🔺 A Bath House was a Public or Private facility for Bathing, Showers, Saunas, Hot Tubs. In 1900 few had indoor plumbing. Like the Greeks and Romans had Public Bath Houses, larger Cities in the USA had Bath Houses. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
the best explanation is that these buildings are from Giants they build it and buildings we see are only Top end of buildings small portion excavated for us the real entrance is miles underneath earth and i think entrances are really big and buildings are enormous same with pyramids they only excavated little only top of the pyramids and the real deal is under our feet :))) make video about this theory what do you think ??? and your kid is blessed that have you teach him about real history and not fake history :)) ....
So the story is that they pumped sand in from offshore to raise the island several feet after the storm. (That’s why there seem to be half floors and half arches on the bottom floors). I the 90’s they spent a lot of money to supposedly do the same thing to expand the beaches on the sea wall that were eroding. The big pipelines on the beach looked like the old postcards of the “raising of the island”. But now after seeing all the other old world buildings whose bottom floors are buried in mud I wonder if they were possibly trying to pump the sand OFF the island instead🤔.
They were dredging the Port of Houston. After 1900, it was faster to dig out a canal for the ships to get up there. It is a 1+ hr drive. That is a lot of earth to go somewhere. Then Houston was born. By the way, I live in Milwaukee now. I bought another bag of "Galveston Wild Caught" shrimp at the grocery today. It's late. My gosh. Time flies.
I saw a video about some of these grand façade buildings where doing one layer of stone blocks up at a time they went together like puzzles seems without computer design it had to take a master mathematician architect to figure it all out. Then to organize the production of each part a whole other story right? Horses and buggy’s and no to little electricity or plumbed water yet built grand masterpieces? Then I wonder how in only 150 years we went from primitive existence to supersonic jet travel, spaceships, now flying cars approved by FAA. How did we have an explosion in advancements after thousands of years of human existence? There has had to be resets and and setbacks along the way. Mass pandemics?
Galveston doesn't look like this anymore pretty much a dump now I have been Beng watching your videos Love that you are teaching your children about the deception I agree with your daughter yucky schools... lmao Sent you a email Have a fabtabulous abundant Life Time
BALL HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE ALL WHITE HIGH SCHOOL NEAR SEA SIDE OF THE ISLAND , WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE ALL BLACK SCHOOL TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND
Not really. My great-grandfather arrived in Galveston the same year as Col. Moody (1866) specifically to coordinate packet shipping of cotton to New York and Liverpool for his older brother, who was a partner in a New York-based shipping company. Col. Moody was probably the most active in cotton trade but there were several others, including the Kempners.
Knowing our controllers I wonder if these "hurricanes" weren't artificially created in order to create death and destruction and especially to damage and destroy these magnificent Old World Tartarian buildings. These buildings are our biggest clue that the mainstream historical timeline is a lie and they know it. The Ursuline Convent/Academy at the end of this video is one of the most awe inspiring Tartarian buildings I've ever seen. A crying shame it was torn down in 1961 😪
You’d be interested to know that the 1904 St Louis Exposition/World Fair featured a ridiculously elaborate and extensive diorama of the Galveston Hurricane, complete with thousands of miniature dead bodies being swept out to sea. It was supposedly quite the sensational exhibit.
1962, actually. My cousin Mary Webster was an Ursuline nun who taught social studies at the Academy. The new building opened in ‘63. My aunt and uncle got hold of a bunch of bricks from the old building and had them trucked to Livingston to construct a large brick hearth and fireplace in their kitchen.
The bodies were real. They have many pictures, pretty graphic on some of the historical house tours. I was there during the disaster Rita evacuation. 1900 they didn't have weather up to par yet. They didn't have text pagers to say "my resident said to get the **** off the island". I was scrubbed into a surgery, the nurse read it out to us. The island flash floods really bad as of 2003. I am glad I was driving a pickup and barely got out of one. The 1900's people had no chance.
@@AF_1892 My great-grandfather was easily recognized in Galveston by his stark white hair. Survivors of the 1900 Storm saw him being swept away. They told my grandfather, who was 17 at the time, that it had to be him because no one in town had hair like his. Altogether my grandfather lost his father and 5 of his 9 siblings in the Storm.
My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother arrived in Galveston from Sweden about 3 weeks after the Great Storm. Didn't speak much english. One of his first job upon arriving in America. Was to help pickup dead bodies and clean up Galveston. He also help build the sea wall. Still have family that lives in Galveston. I and a lot family live around the Houston area.
My great grandfather did the something and we have letters he wrote about it to my great grandmother.
How cool and delightful that you and your kid would do this together. Just great!

"Records" say the oldest house in GTOWN was built in 1838,and first settled in 1816.

that's one of the weird mysteries they do move huge buildings , just do a search on YT. there is film of huge buildings being moved, you will be amazed, I don't know if that civilization is us though.
It might be films found by the inheritors and they just switched up the dates.
@@mysteriesoftherealm Hi! Very cool...I will have to check that out for sure...it sounds crazy :) I have been thinking of the giant stones around the world all day today....and how they moved them and built with them ect....thanks for letting me know!
@@justinamontgomery2618
It is crazy, they have one building on a
barge , floating it on the water to its destination, Mysteries of the Realm, HA AHA AH AHA!
@@mysteriesoftherealm I will let you know if I find that one! Sounds crazy :)
@@justinamontgomery2618
I have videos if you care.
Not of buildings moving but other mysteries.
We dont build like this today because: these were built prior ti the Federal Reserve Bank Corporation, when there was a value of the Dollar, and when the Elites paid no tax at all, and we didnt have to pay a tax to work.
It was also a time of Craftsmen, and the Building Products (Limestone, Slate, Marble, etc), required Stone Masons, Speciality Craftsmen, Artists, or they were wooden. We use Steel Framing and countless new products.
Yes! I was wondering when someone would chat about Galveston. I’ve been going there every summer my entire life. We toured some of those mansions, and they brought up how the fence used to be taller but it was buried in the 1900s storm. It’s the first thing I think about when I learned of mudflooding. And the whole 1900s storm narrative is so heavily pushed there… my sister has lived there since 1996. I wonder if she could fathom all these photos! She works for the historical society, even. I’m sure they have so many narratives they push.
The 1900 Storm is NOT a narrative! If 9,000 to 12,000 persons died in one evening it would be hard to forget--the changes that were made to the Island so that it could continue to be a good city, good shipping port and good medical school training ground for doctors. Engineering feat, resilience of citizens, and heroic survival stories...what's wrong with pushing that?
Its so sad that the police in Galveston have completely ruined that city and the tourism there.
Thank you!
With greying hair we realize we were born knee deep in ruins, neck deep in lies.
What will the next generation do with our realizations?
My first apartment was the 2nd floor of that Masonic lodge at 8 mins in. A large patio was added later to it and my roommates and I had many parties out there 😇 2416 post office is the address if you want to see it present day. Thank you for this!
Happened across your Galveston, TX video today and wish I had NOT. What's this narrative you reference in this video? Obviously, you did no research on Galveston. These photos can be sourced in National Archives or any library in Galveston County. You are giving people some weird scenario about Galveston Island. It was originally inhabited by Native Americans, then Jean Lafitte, the pirate and when he was banished from Island by American government, investors coming to Texas knew the value of the natural port for commerce. There was a grade raising of buildings after the great Galveston Storm of 1900. You said you have doubts about it. If a bldg could not be raised the bottom floor was filled in with sand that was pumped out of Galveston Bay. Most of old wrought iron fences are short because they just buried most of the fence. Took approx. 11 years to finish. There are lots of photos of how it was done. Galveston architecture is still breathtaking. There is also no conspiracy about the orphanages. Yellow fever made many orphans in the South. Do your research. Lived in Galveston County for 69 years...knew people who lived through the 1900 storm, had a neighbor who grew up in the orphanage used in your video, close friend was on the Board of that orphanage. What's your point? Even married into the family of Jean Lafitte's 2nd Lieutenant, who settled across the Bay in what is now Texas City. It's all true. Narrative about slavery--? Galveston treated gently concerning slavery? It was in Galveston that the news reached Texas about the Emancipation Declaration which was announced on June 19th--Juneteenth. Must remember Galveston was just a few decades old when Civil War started. I cannot believe I'm spending my time writing this, but you touched a nerve about my beloved Galveston by suggesting that it's history is a "narrative". The Storm was real, the history is real, the architecture (most done by old world European immigrants who came thru Galveston to America) is beautifiul and it WAS the biggest city in Texas when the 1900 hurricane hit it. Texas wasn't settled extensively until 20th century. Not a narrative. Do your research. Thumbs down.
Everything is a narrative...whether it's true or not. I obviously struck an emotional nerve with you, and that's fine. My channel explores potential historical deceptions by pointing out the weak parts of the historical narrative we are presented. You basically recited the wikipedia version of Galveston. I have learned not to trust the official line history lays out for us...and I suggest there are nefarious forces at play that seek to keep us in the dark as to the truth of our past. I appreciate you watching...whether you like it or not.
Wikipedia? I lived in Galveston, Galveston County for over 70 years. I know a lot of the personal histories of local folks. Not depending on newspapers and media. It's a shame that as the older generations die that folks can make up their own "narrative". Research, research from non-biased sources...historical records, etc. What a world we live in now. Won't bother you again and will not be watching you destroy real events in the past. You need to get into a library!

Interesting .lol the dude narrating is really Lamo.lol
@@oldworldexI think patty is triggered because she’s probably one of those galveston lifers who are so in love with it smh they’re everywhere in that town. She’s also being a hypocrite because everything she’s saying about galveston is easily googled 😂
I saw that old antenna with no wires by 'that old Tartarian building'.
😮

Great video, even better co-host. Have a blessed day.
Doing the Hidden Hand (wilst pretending to fix buttons) is a sign that he is a Freemason or Mason.
Any Dr's in the comments that went through anatomy lab in the top floor of "Old Red"? It was such an overwheming experience, bc it is your first class in medical school. But get over your emotions there is a cadaver to dissect. The building definitely is intimidating. For the 1st test (only 2 for 8 weeks! No pressure) the teachers made it Hawii style with hula skirts to get us to relax. It helped, but a lot of people are weeded out there. God bless all the Souls who donated their bodies to science, so that we could learn.
Top 5...maybe even top 3!! I'm speechless...
Nice love how they built these buildings but forgot to build the roads lol
They were made for trains...mass transit first.

🔺 A Bath House was a Public or Private facility for Bathing, Showers, Saunas, Hot Tubs. In 1900 few had indoor plumbing. Like the Greeks and Romans had Public Bath Houses, larger Cities in the USA had Bath Houses.

DURING THE 1800 STORM COOFINS CAME OUT OF THE GROUND
They also dumped the bodies into the ocean...they washed back up on shore
the best explanation is that these buildings are from Giants they build it and buildings we see are only Top end of buildings small portion excavated for us the real entrance is miles underneath earth and i think entrances are really big and buildings are enormous same with pyramids they only excavated little only top of the pyramids and the real deal is under our feet :))) make video about this theory what do you think ??? and your kid is blessed that have you teach him about real history and not fake history :)) ....
THE ONE PICK I SAW YOU HAVE WAS THE ROSENBERGE LIBRARY
All the orphans come from being the last stop of the "orphan train" from New York.
MY UNCLE WORKED AT THE NATIONAL BANK IT HAD BRASS DOORS ON ELEVATOR
0:51 def a composite image
I went to jr.high in Belton mo. The school was in a freaky old place.
So the story is that they pumped sand in from offshore to raise the island several feet after the storm. (That’s why there seem to be half floors and half arches on the bottom floors). I the 90’s they spent a lot of money to supposedly do the same thing to expand the beaches on the sea wall that were eroding. The big pipelines on the beach looked like the old postcards of the “raising of the island”. But now after seeing all the other old world buildings whose bottom floors are buried in mud I wonder if they were possibly trying to pump the sand OFF the island instead🤔.
They were dredging the Port of Houston. After 1900, it was faster to dig out a canal for the ships to get up there. It is a 1+ hr drive. That is a lot of earth to go somewhere. Then Houston was born.
By the way, I live in Milwaukee now. I bought another bag of "Galveston Wild Caught" shrimp at the grocery today. It's late. My gosh. Time flies.
I saw a video about some of these grand façade buildings where doing one layer of stone blocks up at a time they went together like puzzles seems without computer design it had to take a master mathematician architect to figure it all out. Then to organize the production of each part a whole other story right? Horses and buggy’s and no to little electricity or plumbed water yet built grand masterpieces? Then I wonder how in only 150 years we went from primitive existence to supersonic jet travel, spaceships, now flying cars approved by FAA. How did we have an explosion in advancements after thousands of years of human existence? There has had to be resets and and setbacks along the way. Mass pandemics?
3:34-3:50. Those faces, those gams. Oh, dear.
Galveston doesn't look like this anymore pretty much a dump now
I have been Beng watching your videos
Love that you are teaching your children about the deception
I agree with your daughter yucky schools... lmao
Sent you a email
Have a fabtabulous abundant Life Time
BALL HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE ALL WHITE HIGH SCHOOL NEAR SEA SIDE OF THE ISLAND , WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE ALL BLACK SCHOOL TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND
They didn't build any of those old buildings I hope people know that
Are there any prior records of those buildings..and if not..why do you think that?
@@dergutehut3961
No early photographs of those remarkable buildings either
AVE K SCHOOL PRETTY SURE THATS SAN JACINTO ELEMENTRY SCHOOL, IT WAS TORN DOWN AND REPLACED
You’re right.
THE MOODYS OWNED ALL THE COTTON SHIPPING IN GALVESTON
Not really. My great-grandfather arrived in Galveston the same year as Col. Moody (1866) specifically to coordinate packet shipping of cotton to New York and Liverpool for his older brother, who was a partner in a New York-based shipping company. Col. Moody was probably the most active in cotton trade but there were several others, including the Kempners.
Where did you find these images?
online.
school 👎BOO😆
good
Is not USS Texas
Knowing our controllers I wonder if these "hurricanes" weren't artificially created in order to create death and destruction and especially to damage and destroy these magnificent Old World Tartarian buildings. These buildings are our biggest clue that the mainstream historical timeline is a lie and they know it. The Ursuline Convent/Academy at the end of this video is one of the most awe inspiring Tartarian buildings I've ever seen. A crying shame it was torn down in 1961 😪
You’d be interested to know that the 1904 St Louis Exposition/World Fair featured a ridiculously elaborate and extensive diorama of the Galveston Hurricane, complete with thousands of miniature dead bodies being swept out to sea. It was supposedly quite the sensational exhibit.
1962, actually. My cousin Mary Webster was an Ursuline nun who taught social studies at the Academy. The new building opened in ‘63. My aunt and uncle got hold of a bunch of bricks from the old building and had them trucked to Livingston to construct a large brick hearth and fireplace in their kitchen.
The bodies were real. They have many pictures, pretty graphic on some of the historical house tours.
I was there during the disaster Rita evacuation. 1900 they didn't have weather up to par yet. They didn't have text pagers to say "my resident said to get the **** off the island". I was scrubbed into a surgery, the nurse read it out to us.
The island flash floods really bad as of 2003. I am glad I was driving a pickup and barely got out of one.
The 1900's people had no chance.
@@AF_1892 My great-grandfather was easily recognized in Galveston by his stark white hair. Survivors of the 1900 Storm saw him being swept away. They told my grandfather, who was 17 at the time, that it had to be him because no one in town had hair like his.
Altogether my grandfather lost his father and 5 of his 9 siblings in the Storm.
Great pictures, but narration is horrible.
This video is fake
Is it? Lol
