C-SPAN Cities Tour - Salt Lake City: History and Art of Utah's Capitol

[@jaredvaughan1665]

The dome is a copy of St. Paul's cathedral in London, just as the U.S. Capital is.

[@jameswest8280]

I looked up the heights of the U.S. and the Utah state capitol buildings. Utah capitol is 285 feet and the U.S. capitol is 289 feet, a difference of 4 feet. Can that be right?

[@jamesgoldring1052]

@@jameswest8280 what about the thickness of the dome, that'd male it look bigger, as well as the height of the base/ foundation, making it taller in total

@@jameswest8280 use your Fortnight bucks to pay for first class, so as u fly over the house of reps, u ask to see the cabin crew and the pilot, as a pro fortnite player they cannot say no. Use sleight of hand to steal the bathroom key, and make sure the dump toilet load light is on by tapping the appropriate switch inside the cockpit. Then go to the premium version of the bathroom. Then get 100 litre bottle of mountain dew, filled with bright neon paint, hopefully pink, along with 3008 meters of silly string... and at the most oppertune time deploy the load by pulling the flush lever many many times, This will cover the us house of reps in a line of paint, from which if u factor in flowrate and velocity the height of the building can be determined from afar You won't even get close enough with your tape measure before security closes in

The pioneers were a lot tougher than modern day Americans,

[@jamesn.economou9922]

The only big building the Pioneers built was the Temple, and that place took 40 years to build, it also has been in restoration, with scaffolding around it, for longer, than it took to start and finish the Capitol building. I don't believe the story we have been told. It is a palace, on the same lines as any European megalithic structure. When you do the math, on the building materials, and all the other astonishing buildings in Salt Lake City, that were supposed to be built AT THE SAME TIME, you realize pretty quickly, that the farming community of Salt Lake City would not have enough physical time, to build the entire city, in what we read as recorded history. Nor would it have made any sense to build like this. Look at the old City/County building. Built in 3 years, with no phones, no lights, no motors. Do you believe that? Have you ever built a home?

[@eddiestien9095]

where is the senate floor?

[@carlwalker9635]

Anyone with any knowledge of photography can clearly see the construction photographs are fake. Scaffolding does not signify construction, the cranes are a poor cut and paste job, the sky is white, what a pathetic joke.

[@zoey2211]

Dude the sky is white cause the photos aren’t in color lol

[@jameswest8280]

Carl Walker are you saying the Capitol wasn't built? So the building is just a hologram? The sky is white because the city is cloud covered all winter long. Anyone with more photographic knowledge than you can tell the photo is authentic.

@Carl, You can’t show the blind. They’ll never understand. It’s up to them.

@John Doe you see how you’re worked up you are over a few random comments on a video? That’s your inner truth clashing with your programming. It’s all out there for those with eyes to see. Cheers.

[@BrickSquad69]

@John Doe you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink aye? I’m not trying to change your mind or insult your intelligence, but for some reason you feel the need to do so? Maybe because you’re grandpappys “proof” isn’t enough?
