Theres a restaurant in Paris, that my Hubby and I ate at, that had an interesting history. It's a mirrored room, with gold cherubs on the walls. Very ornate! Back during WW2, the area was under threat from Hitler and his Nazis, so the owner closed up the walls, so it would be untouched. It worked, but unfortunately the owner, and everyone that lived in that area, didnt survive. No one knew about it, till years later. The new owners were renovating, removed a wall, and found the room intact. Like a buried treasure!!
My favorite "secret" about the Statue of Liberty is how Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi modeled the face of the statue after his mom. It's like the ultimate gift to a mother. Even though she dead and gone she is forever immortalized as the face of a symbol of America with millions coming to admire her magnificence. Can't top that.
@@keizy4923 No, or at least I don't see how. She has almost zero features of a woman of color. I mean, even her nose is roman, which fits since her mother's nose was also roman. I heard this rumor before, but I'm almost willing to bet it started when she was oxidizing. Considering she has a crown, torch, and stone tablet shielding her face and arms from rain, I'm guessing those parts oxidized slower, thus making them look brown longer; therefore, she was thought of as a woman of color for a time.
The artist Bartholdi who created the Statute of Liberty also created a smaller replica and gifted it to the beautiful coastal city Maceió in the state of Alagoas in northeastern Brazil.
@@nolnol815 It is incredibly cool that Liberty Enlightening the World is actually is all over the world. I knew she was in France but not in so many countries. If that was Bartholdi's goal, he definitely accomplished it!
I’ve actually boon on the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building. I was on the right spot at the right time and got to go up at night back in 1994. It was amazing, and an opportunity that I may never be able to have again.
It’s wrong that they don’t allow anyone to go there unless they are famous. We are all Americans and own a piece of that statue. I hate how tyrannical our government has become. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
@@niecedspain3568 The Empire State Building is a privately owned building, not a statue. Nevertheless, the sentiment behind your comment is shared by many.
Nice! You're lucky to be one of the few. Before I read your comment I had said to myself that if I had to choose one out of all It would be this. Not fair at all the the well connected can use it but not us commoners making your once in a lifetime trip even more rare. Great story..,Thanks
5:55 I love the scene in Logan's Run where Logan and Jessica find the Lincoln Memorial in wonder, speculating that was what it looked like to be old. I would have added the line, "Yes, and they were very large." After all neither of them had ever seen or even heard of a statue like that.
1:55 There is something like this at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone. The Inn is a iron framed building (The structural iron beams are clad in wood, giving the illusion it is wood framed) with a very high lobby. High above there is a tree house where a band used to play but because of damage suffered from an Earthquake in the 1950's the upper floors are not accusable to the public. However twice each day a bellhop climbs to the roof of the hotel to raise the flags in the morning and take them down in the evening. If you ask nicely at the front desk you may get an invitation from the bellhop to climb to the roof with him/her. The view is breathtaking and it is usually timed so Old Faithful erupts while you are up there. Just remember, this is a first come fist served deal. Only one small group is allowed to do this at a time, and they only do it twice each day, then only if the weather doesn't make the trip unsafe. The bellhop is under no obligation to invite anyone up, and they can de-invite you for any reason, so be polite. You are not entitled to do this. Also, there is no disabled access. If you can't climb a ladder you can't get onto the roof. You will be asked to help fold the flags, but it's well worth it to get that view.
I was arrested for being AWOL from the Marine Corps back in 1976 in NYC. On my way to the Brig at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The night before I was put in a cell that was built into a vault on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge. I guess for security reasons they're not mentioned here.

FYI-the stone used came from a quarry in Maryland, - all of the stone. There are color differences because when construction restarted, the quarry used stone from a different part of the quarry as from where the original stone came from.
Please note that the torch of Lady Liberty was NEVER open to the general public. The access through the arm is a tricky ladder and the space on the torch would only allow a small number of people to stand there at one time.

After the Black Tom Island explosion caused stress damage to the arm, it was also found to have been built a bit out of true.
Actually the arm was open to the public and people went up in it. the arm had a flaw and actually fell off with people in it. the statue was closed to the public and the arm put back in place but closed off so no one can get hurt again.
The explosion was initially deemed the result of negligence by workers who were, conveniently for "investigators", dead. Later it was determined to be caused by sabatsge by spues from WW1 Germany. Germany paid for the sabotsge - in 1978.

I dislike Cheney a ton -but when I read the few facts in the LA Times that described his "bunker" I called them to explain that they said to much. Many parents of my classmates from my hometown built the place and soldiers that work there live in the area too. We all know about the bunker. Over the years I'm sure over 200,000 people know enough facts that by 9/11 many knew exactly where he was. So Secret Locations are extremely difficult to keep secret.

Um the torch of the statue of liberty was accessible until the torch was replaced in the 80s. Being closed because of a blast in the early part of the century is a commonly myth that is often repeated but repeating something often does not make it true
So true!! I went up the torch on my birthday in 1984 with my family. That black tom is bullshit. No encyclopedias about world events mention it at all. As in none of them.
The original torch was closed until renovations when I believe it was briefly opened after. It was closed when I went up in the statue to the crown before renovations.
In keeping with the theme of this video: Secret footage reveals the statue of liberty can move through the city when activated by special slime...and when vigo tries to come into this world.
@@drewbravo5042 umm, there actually was an explosion in 1916 referred to as the black Tom explosion. Now, whether that caused damage to the arm and torch, I don’t know, never studied or even looked in to that. But the explosion is real and did happen, and I’m certain a simple google search would easily confirm that.

I’ve been below the Lincoln Memorial. It’s awesome!! The really do have stalactites. The graffiti was made by the workers who constructed the memorial. A couple are pretty risqué. The we’re covered with a clear material to preserve when I was there. Has a wooden walkway all through the area.
Interesting, but not factually accurate. I went up to the Statue of Liberty Torch in 1997 and again in 2004. I was told it's closed off because the steel frame core couldn't continue to long term hold the stress/weight of all the tourists going up there in groups at a time. There's not much steel up there and you can feel it moving in the wind during the climb. It's closed due to policy, not blast damage.

What kind of genius would hide secret treasures at a place that screams "Come here and check out these four giant heads carved into a mountain."? :-) Even the Egyptian Pharaohs eventually got the idea of not advertising the location of buried treasure by building a giant monument at the exact same location as the stash.
It was never intended to be secret, just wasn't focused on due to his death and it's unfinished nature, plus the giant amazing mountain heads kinda distracting all the attention to themselves, leading to it never becoming famous within the public's consciousness
Amazing video, with so much information I never knew I needed to hear. I've been to several of these places, but not all. Now if I go to any of these places I'll recall this video. Thank you.
I don't think every old fancy building was built between 1880 and 1920. Then all of the sudden we stop making things big and fancy. I think they are from a past civilization and we just take credit for it. They all have "basements ", for example. They go deep because they have been mudfllooded in a past cataclysm.
In the early 90's I took a train to Grand Central Station. We stayed in the hotel between the Twin Towers, then known as Tower 3. A tour took us to the roof of Tower One. I spent the whole time talking to the window washer and how he had just missed seeing a guy with a backpack, climb over the fencing, and jump off. We also went to The Statue of Liberty and climbed the stairs to the crown. In the early 80's I visited Niagara Falls and The Cave of The Winds on the American side, and rode The Maid of The Mist. Incredible memories.
The B-roll at 16:03 is the Oregon State capitol in Salem. The capitol has robotic cameras set up on the House and Senate floors and in most of the public hearing rooms. They are all operated from a master control room down in the basement. The main idea is that the media techs film important events and make the footage available to the media networks to keep the number of reporters and/ or camera operators down so they don't cause a distraction. They even have a three camera mobile unit that can be set up in under 5 min and operated by one person. I worked for the Oregon Legislative Media dept. about 20 years ago.

So everyone is just going to gloss over the fact that a channel called "Top Fives" is making a top fifteen list? Your grasp of mathematics is mind boggling.
The empire state building just goes to show that celebrities are worthy of what the average person isn't. Yet for some they really are just entertainment and nothing more...
How could a bit of shrapnel from over a hundred years ago make it too dangerous to go in the Statue of Liberty’s torch? That doesn’t make sense. Fix it if it’s broken.
Well my humble opinion is that it shows how easy a big accident can occur on the arm part of the statue. Basically there are a lot of things that could take out the statue in this day and age, but destroying the same part of the arm compared to the rest of the statue you could see how something could happen
The funny thing is you can see the underground part of the Lincoln Memorial in the Division 2 video game. It is pretty cool to be able to see some of these places in video games. They do try to make them as close as possible which is cool too.
They should make up their minds. The 103rd floor of the Empire State Building “ is only knee high” then they say Taylor Swift “ leant against the perilously HIGH wall” which is it ? It’s higher than knee high, yet not perilously high either !
And what if the ghost energy made them make them marking on the cave🤔 what if that was their way of asking for help to put their souls at rest of that make sense

We were told this in school there are a lot of rooms in the monument a lot of government things are in there but you cannot go in there they that part of the black hills to make that statue the tribes were told that a tribute of crazy horse would be build there but it did not happen later on in life they did build a statue of crazy horse but it was never finished

@@MsRuggy80 you mean the Sioux who stole that land from the Cheyenne (who considered it sacred too) less than 100 year before America claimed it?
@@mirekpilsudski sorry, I misunderstood your question.
I read it as if you were asking which tribe the government took it from.
If that would have been made clear, I would have stated the Cheyenne and Crow tribes.
Those pictures of the empire state building , especially Taylor swift leaning... really unsettled me. I'm terrified of heights... Still tense.
I know exactly what you mean. It gave me "Vertigo", that's for sure!
There is secret places out there that we will never know about.
Know why ?its a secret
🤫🤐
Then... how do you KNOW they are out there.....?
@@supachaloopa3611 I know exactly which Bunker Cheney was in after 9/11. I dislike Cheney a ton -but when I read the few facts in the LA Times that described his "bunker" I called them to explain that they said to much. Many parents of my classmates from my hometown built the place and soldiers that work there live in the area too. We all know about the bunker. Over the years I'm sure over 200,000 people know enough facts that by 9/11 many knew exactly where he was. So Secret Locations are extremely difficult to keep secret.
i appretiate your style. many other makers of such short documentaries Persist in inserting junk images - very "impertinent". you keep that habit at a minimum, and remain on-point.
The Statue of Liberty's torch is hardly a secret.
Klick-bait. Where is the black dude's head you have circled in red?
It was bill clinton our first real black president.

Improvise and improve do no not mean the same thing.
Um the torch of the statue of liberty was accessible until the torch was replaced in the 80s.
Being closed because of a blast in the early part of the century is a commonly myth that is often repeated but repeating something often does not make it true
So true!! I went up the torch on my birthday in 1984 with my family. That black tom is bullshit. No encyclopedias about world events mention it at all. As in none of them.
The original torch was closed until renovations when I believe it was briefly opened after. It was closed when I went up in the statue to the crown before renovations.
In keeping with the theme of this video:
Secret footage reveals the statue of liberty can move through the city when activated by special slime...and when vigo tries to come into this world.
@@drewbravo5042 umm, there actually was an explosion in 1916 referred to as the black Tom explosion. Now, whether that caused damage to the arm and torch, I don’t know, never studied or even looked in to that. But the explosion is real and did happen, and I’m certain a simple google search would easily confirm that.
@@kila4 I can guarantee you don't even know 1% of how this world functions.
So how exactly would you know what happened in New York 100 years ago? If that attack really happened in our reality...our natural history, then explain to me why not *one* World Encyclopedia on Earth can be found that mentions a bomb attack in NY before 1920.
You base your opinions from y.t. 😄 yet you wanna be taken seriously?
You simple minded sheep make me so f'kn sick just knowing we're the same race.
Saying that Mount Rushmore contains the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is kind of redundant.
I swear these places make you wanna do some research...!! It's absolutely interesting to know a lil about them.
I'm thinking you're one of the uneducated multitude that don't have enough IQ points to fill a dice cube
It's all native land an this video is very disturbing
That was interesting to watch. Thanks.
I’ve been below the Lincoln Memorial. It’s awesome!! The really do have stalactites. The graffiti was made by the workers who constructed the memorial. A couple are pretty risqué. The we’re covered with a clear material to preserve when I was there. Has a wooden walkway all through the area.
No you haven't.
@@user-pq6mr6op3phow do you know?
I'm Senecan but never heard that story before about the soldiers. How interesting!
Interesting, but not factually accurate. I went up to the Statue of Liberty Torch in 1997 and again in 2004. I was told it's closed off because the steel frame core couldn't continue to long term hold the stress/weight of all the tourists going up there in groups at a time. There's not much steel up there and you can feel it moving in the wind during the climb. It's closed due to policy, not blast damage.
The Black Tom attack is a mandela effect. Its only been since 2013 that people heard of it.
@@mkaylor121 exactly. I came to the comments looking for this. I’ve heard that story before but knew it to be false because my step mom went there before, she was a New York resident for most of her life.
why lie?
you have not been up there
Mandela? When has the former south African president messed with the statue of liberty?
The Mandela Effect is some things have changed for some people. Some think it has to do with the multiverse and some realities are crossing or jumping. Possibly even being destroyed and when it does the people and things just get tossed into another reality. We also think i might have something to do with the CERN and the large hadron collider. Check it out for yourself.
What kind of genius would hide secret treasures at a place that screams "Come here and check out these four giant heads carved into a mountain."? :-) Even the Egyptian Pharaohs eventually got the idea of not advertising the location of buried treasure by building a giant monument at the exact same location as the stash.
They contain COPIES of the documents...
@@Fruitloops-N-Titties Probably selected to be preserved in the event of nuclear war.
@@Fruitloops-N-Titties you know original copies go for millions right?
It was never intended to be secret, just wasn't focused on due to his death and it's unfinished nature, plus the giant amazing mountain heads kinda distracting all the attention to themselves, leading to it never becoming famous within the public's consciousness
Early 1900s was a time of great construction, magnificent works of art. Now we have pole buildings and blue metal roofs.
With solar panels. And according to Aoc we have 12 years left.
Disneyland's Matterhorn mountain has 2 secrets in it's peak. There's a half-court basketball area, and a small resting room for Tinkerbell.
Amazing video, with so much information I never knew I needed to hear. I've been to several of these places, but not all. Now if I go to any of these places I'll recall this video. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Very interesting.
I don't think every old fancy building was built between 1880 and 1920. Then all of the sudden we stop making things big and fancy. I think they are from a past civilization and we just take credit for it. They all have "basements ", for example.
They go deep because they have been mudfllooded in a past cataclysm.
I know right they definitely weren't made by little people like us
In the early 90's I took a train to Grand Central Station. We stayed in the hotel between the Twin Towers, then known as Tower 3. A tour took us to the roof of Tower One. I spent the whole time talking to the window washer and how he had just missed seeing a guy with a backpack, climb over the fencing, and jump off. We also went to The Statue of Liberty and climbed the stairs to the crown. In the early 80's I visited Niagara Falls and The Cave of The Winds on the American side, and rode The Maid of The Mist.
Incredible memories.
It is funny the infamous Grand Central Terminal is very often confused as being called Grand Central Station.
O mo
The B-roll at 16:03 is the Oregon State capitol in Salem. The capitol has robotic cameras set up on the House and Senate floors and in most of the public hearing rooms. They are all operated from a master control room down in the basement. The main idea is that the media techs film important events and make the footage available to the media networks to keep the number of reporters and/ or camera operators down so they don't cause a distraction. They even have a three camera mobile unit that can be set up in under 5 min and operated by one person. I worked for the Oregon Legislative Media dept. about 20 years ago.
Mount Rushmore one isn’t much of a secret really. They allowed people to hike up to it but last time I as there they took away that option.
any relation to Zell Miller of Georgia ? Zell Bryan Miller (February 24, 1932 - March 23, 2018) was an American author and politician from the state of Georgia.
I would have thought it was repaired in the 1980"s when it was redone
What happened to the 5th head on mount rushmore from the image to this garbage video...or was that just to get me to watch this snore fest? Well done jagovs
Yeah, clickbait is supposed to be illegal
There is a 5th head. It’s a side profile sketch of a Native American. It’s just left of George Washington. Could be coincidental but.....we’ll never know.
Thanks! Now I don’t have to waist my time on this.....lol
Thanks everyone. This is why I read the comments first. Saved me some time.
Trump was seriously trying to get his head on Rushmore. He really thought it was going to happen. Yeah. And you won election, obviously. But, I agree, clickbait.

The artist Bartholdi who created the Statute of Liberty also created a smaller replica and gifted it to the beautiful coastal city Maceió in the state of Alagoas in northeastern Brazil.

How could a bit of shrapnel from over a hundred years ago make it too dangerous to go in the Statue of Liberty’s torch? That doesn’t make sense. Fix it if it’s broken.
The shrapnel interferes with the integrity of the construction.
@@valeriedevereux5912 how? It’s been fine for a hundred years. Also, why can’t they just fix it?
Well my humble opinion is that it shows how easy a big accident can occur on the arm part of the statue. Basically there are a lot of things that could take out the statue in this day and age, but destroying the same part of the arm compared to the rest of the statue you could see how something could happen
@@samic1051 I think humanity is capable of fixing it. We have drones flying on Mars. Fixing a flimsy statue can’t be that hard.
@@darrenstettner5381 it was repaired when they did the restoration from 1984-1986
Like the video. Dislike the click bait thumbnail
Right these are more like fun facts rather than secrets
SAME
People don't know it yet, but the heads on Mt. Rushmore are going to be reworked into Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson.
😂
It’s already complete
As most of these are well known & there's easily available footage of the rest, how can they be truthfully described as 'secret'?
Because it's a secret to the common folks ?
I didn't know about more than half. The wine cellar one was Very surprising to me
Clickbait
Welcome to the secret world of UA-cam.
How awesome. Great video
👍
Wait, so you can’t use a photo of the Eiffel Tower at night because of its lighting display but a video is okay?
The funny thing is you can see the underground part of the Lincoln Memorial in the Division 2 video game. It is pretty cool to be able to see some of these places in video games. They do try to make them as close as possible which is cool too.
A GAME AGAME IS NOT REAL
Stop playing video games and experience the real world
Great Information.....
You forgot about the elevator to Olympus at the Empire State Building
Top fives, indeed! 👌👌👍👍🙌🙌
You said "British soldiers" but showed Confederate soldiers 😂🤣
Kinda the same in the long run....from a black point of view lol
They should make up their minds. The 103rd floor of the Empire State Building “ is only knee high” then they say Taylor Swift “ leant against the perilously HIGH wall” which is it ? It’s higher than knee high, yet not perilously high either !
I believe the perilously high part refers to the distance to the ground not the physical properties of the wall itself
Taylor Swift is only knee high.
The wall is around knee high. I think they are not including the safety rail possibly because it wasn't originally there.
Too bad the ghosts of the cave couldn't keep the hoodlums from defacing it with graffiti
What if the ghost are on their side🤔 if you ask me most huntings not all but "MOST" be of tan people the children born into privilege odd huh🤔
And what if the ghost energy made them make them marking on the cave🤔 what if that was their way of asking for help to put their souls at rest of that make sense
This might sound creepy but since I was a small child the dead have been able to jump into my dreams and show and tell me things and I know that I am not the only one that have that gift/curse to allow them to use others to get their messages out some people do get visits by ghost while they are still woke you know
I have read about most of these. Interesting
Could you cut the irritating 'music' in the background?
That is nasty,
We were told this in school there are a lot of rooms in the monument a lot of government things are in there but you cannot go in there they that part of the black hills to make that statue the tribes were told that a tribute of crazy horse would be build there but it did not happen later on in life they did build a statue of crazy horse but it was never finished
Narrated by: charlie sheen

Different tribes lay claim to the Black Hills, they have fought over it for centuries
Very interesting!
I thought Charlie Sheen was narrating.
He is
Shhhhhhhhhh, tiger blood

Before they even consider adding anyone to Mt. Rushmore, they need to finish the ones already there, followed by Crazy Horse.
The torch is not the original, in 1976 it was replaced qith a new one
What a juicy video
The biggest secret to this list is that Charlie Sheen is the narrator
It does sound like him! Lol
A few years ago the apartment was used for one night stays if you won a lottery. ( Eiffel Tower )

Just because it’s a mini obelisk, doesn’t make it a mini Washington monument.

There is also a monument to Geronimo being carved in a hillside but I don't know if that got completed. What I saw of it was awesome!
That is Chief Crazy Horse and it might never ever get finished.
@@wendydriggs1539 It's been on-going for over 70 years----like the pyramids or the gothic Cathedrals in Europe. It may be another 100 years.
There's a mountainside carving in Florida that the Mount Rushmore guy did of an Indian warband (sorry I can't remember which tribe or leaders though)
