    Been watching for almost 2 years, but the more i see the more i realize when my great grandmother said at the age of 103, she wished she was born 1 or 2 generations earlier, she always told stories of her parents and grandparents.
    And back in the day, it WAS better compared to now. This time literally sounds dystopian. She told me stories that neighbors of over 10 houses used to have a cookout with each other once a week, one had many fruits, the other meat, etc.
    Today, so many people are isolated and divided. We used to be united with each other.
    Everyone worked together and made such beautiful architecture over the years to pass the beauty on to the next generation...
    But governments now want people divided. Otherwise, they'd be overthrown by the united people a long time ago.
    I feel happy to live in Europe and be able to freely travel around to some places wich still have those mind-blowing old beautiful buildings and castles and courtrooms and churches.
    In some places, the stone stairs have been worn out over the years, literally dents of people who walked over them..
    And then i think how many people and generations have walked on this exact same spot..

      ​@@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.I am raised in a Christian family, but i find it really draining sometimes, i don't go to church anymore i just didn't feel right there. So many people say they have faith going to churches and yet so little who actually have a real personal relationship with God.
      But my work environment i am literally the only one with faith in God, nobody has a religion there. The boss is happy with me told me i was the most loyal abd reliable employee, but it's because i live to serve i don't take credit for my work it goes to God. But the draining part is i just keep on giving and helping and supporting everyone, but i barely see anything back here on earth people really like to take, but 95% don't give some back when you're struggling. It's more like i start to lose faith in most humans, so many fully obsessed with themselves and only their life, even got pushed away out of the church, because i got baptized by my father in the middle of no where in a beautiful river in the mountains in France. Once the church heard about it the few people who ran everything got mad and said that it was a mistake and i should have been baptized in the church to be an example for other younger people, i still don't understand their reason behind it how can a father show more love for their children than showing them the right way to live and love another.... it's a feeling of not belonging to the earth i was born in, doesn't mean I'm not thankful. But seeing so many people astray and clueless and just taking everything because they're trying to fill a void wich can't be filled with material earthly things just takes a toll on me

      You hang in there... If I can, you can too :-)
      Read.. memorize and meditate on Romans 8 : 28 consume it continuously, eat it , drink it, sleep it and live it abundantly ... It's perhaps the greatest verse in all of Scripture for the believer ... and remember there's no mediator between you and the Father except Christ Jesus... Church won't save you... Only Jesus and Him alone.

    I'm old enough to remember some of the older brick buildings in San Diego like the ones depicted in these photographs. I also remember the brick and stone architecture in Seattle with marble columns inside, and TALL windows and doors. Yeah, they were built in a time of no engineering means or manpower to build them - un huh. I wonder who the tall and intelligent people were that built those beautiful edifices? It wasn't us.

    This is epic. I grew up near Pasadena. My father grew up in Highland Park--the 1909(?) house his family lived in still stands; when we were children he drove us to places that were historic, especially downtown's Bunker Hill. Our teenage stomping grounds were Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Pasadena, El Sereno, and Alhambra. Arroyo Drive and the Arroyo from Highland Park to Old Suicides (Colorado Boulevard) bridge was one of our hiking trails. This brings back lovely memories. 😊

    How would they have even had the tools and bricks to build that (normal school) in the 1800's? That school was definitely there before that new group arrived. It's enormous. Not to mention gorgeous and very, very tall. The Westminster Hotel was definitely a blast from the "past"! I did not realize that the Chinese population was so large in the early 1800s?! Wow.

    Take a good look at the photo at 28:43, pause it, and on the left upper portion of the photo in the sky to the right of the building on the left, is what looks like a UFO. I've zoomed in and taken many screenshots from various zoom levels and the object is very clearly not a particle on the lens or a flaw in the print or a blemish on the silver oxide plate. There is another spot in the same photo much smaller and to the upper right of the first object and ig you zoom in you can see that it is some kind of blemish in the print or on the paper the original silver oxide glass negative was printed on. The two spots are completely different from each other.
    Now I'm not saying it definitely is a UFO but, there wasn't things flying around in the skies in the late 1800s and this object is not a hot air balloon, and there are no wings, or any wires or strings, or anything that could be suspending it in the air. It is under no control from any device and that is clearly obvious.
    Tell me what you think about this strange object.

      I'm not an expert in photography or printing and it most likely is just some mark on the print from age and or storage improperly.
      I've zoomed in 10X magnification and messed with the sharpness and contrast it doesn't give any details that changes anything in a possitive or negative way.
      It's just a thing that is in the picture. We'll probably never know the answer to what it is. It is strange. The original glass and silver plate would give the answer or the original print could give the answer. It's just fun to entertain the thought of accidentally catching a UFO in a photo from back in the days before man was able to fly other than by balloon or dirigible, the object looks nothing like any balloon or airship, manned or unmanned.

    Things to note, New construction will not be showing signs of weathering and discoloration , As following the Narrative and timeline , What you can pick out are the alleged New construction that show things like windows boarded up, weathering found on much older buildings on New ones , massive clock missing the clock and the people migrating with meager belongings to a place not established with all of the required infrastructure suddenly have electric trolleys galore and even a mountainside cable climb, massive hotels and not the population to justify it as vacant streets and seemingly abandoned structures built to ridiculous purportions yet only to have dirt roads but curbs and sidewalks , where is the equipment and the ability to level all of the land ? The earliest pictures show this was already done and yet again , with what equipment and ability in an even earlier time with even less is comical at best ... Dirt roads but trolleys galore is putting the egg before the chicken and that alone should tip us all off something is just not as it would seem and trickles from there .

    Jarid, it is your hard work that prompted my continuing education and research on world history. The odd inconsistencies in the accepted narrative of humanities evolution must be analyzed without preconceived bias. Along with the obviously out of time and place artifacts provide us with a roadmap to truth and understanding.
    Thank you again for all you do.
    Be kind and do good work.

      Preconceived bias -- no good!
      Postconceived bias -- acquired by learning to such purpose -- GOOD!
      Interesting is it not, that term postconceived and its cousin postjudice are words no longer; whereas their antonyms preconceived and prejudice remain so?
      Hmmm! Now . . . we just WONDER why, no?

    I do not live there, but I love Los Angeles. I find it interesting that by as early as 1907, as per the image @ 6:42 , there were electric railcars already being abandoned. For better or worse, what advancement of science and technology the US has brought to the world in such a short amount of time! The invention and popularization of the automobile at almost exactly the 20th Century mark, seems almost Providential.

    I grew up near Beale's cut. We took a school trip in grade school and they made a big deal about the one hill they were able to make a path through in the 1870's. It is off the highway and not even part of the current route to Los Angeles from the high desert. Hilarious how this small demolition example is being used as key evidence of the advancement of Los Angeles' habitation.

    Jarid, I always find it interesting that the vast numbers of photographs that were preserved in various collections seem to always leave out black Americans. Although, there were tens of thousands living in the area, their photos are not displayed or provided. This is not a slight against you. You can only show what you have access to. I do remember learning that half of the founders of Los Angeles were so called black Americans.

    • @inquisitive4

      Depending on the racial mixture, many mulatto and criollo were considered white at the time of territorial documentation. Mexican were considered white in Arizona territory. "Old black breed" people of Scotlands Shetland Islands were not black people. Black people as we know them were labeled as negro, negroid, Negra, etc. To find photos of them, those terms sometimes need to be specifically entered into the search perimeter. The photos exist. Search options do seem to filter them out and there is a deliberate effort to confuse and conflate who, what, where, when and why. Also note that sometimes in documents, people were described by the flags they flew. That is deliberately confused too. A "red man" may have been flying an Ottoman flag. A "black man"...skull and bones of a pirate ship. Neither indicate a country of origin. "Yellow man" may have flown the tartary griffin. "White man" the Genovese red cross. Another culture who wrote similar statements may have been trying to define physical traits. All need to be taken into consideration to properly digest.

    If you now go read the statistics there weren't enough people in Los Angeles to have built everything that you've seen in these pictures in 1852 there were only 4000 people not including the Indian population. Look it up for yourself it just doesn't add up it's almost like a lot of things were built And the people just showed up. This is coming from a fourth generation Californian
