I always wondered, "In this building's location, how many other buildings existed here? How many houses were built then destroyed, replaced, reconstructed, covered and stuff. How many farm animals walked over this piece of land and ate the grass there? How many ancient people walked and crossed over here?" So many questions

I’m a bit confused as to what you are saying though, because when it was a British colony of course they would have still had settlements. Hell, some of the colonists were even loyalists. Hence why its called New York, like York in England (although as seen here, New Amsterdam at one point)

What @cilian12 is saying is that every little town or city in europe is easily that old, many places much older. Cities and roads conecting those cities have been in the same place for the last one to three thousand years.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

(fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you? lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forgot?) lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind) to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid? Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world) lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare) lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do) lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge) lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage) lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?) Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that) lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.) to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers. lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government) lie: Tv watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA) half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played) lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them). Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%) lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves). Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means> John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more) lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will) lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale. BIBLE IS: BASIC INFORMATION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth. 25 lies, should i go on?

Looks like a student project. Model Ts did not survive to drive on the street in the 1950s.

[@mrgroovy5113]

This is absolutely amazing and beautiful! Please do more of this!

now if only we could do this for a small town of 500 to make it 600 or 800 that would be fantastic

[@Garvgamer2009]

It was a great video... we need more city evolutions like this!

[@jus10lewissr]

I would love to go into the CGI elevator at the World Trade Center. As it goes up, it shows New York City when it was bare and then eventually makes it to present day and it literally looks like you're watching the city grow through a glass elevator. It even shows the WTC towers being built and standing on the site until you pass 2001, obviously. I'd love to experience it.

The editing for this video is so good. I’m gonna rewatch this a thousand times more

[@RealBeautifulRottweilers]

Fun Fact: Central Park was once a thriving African American community. With a small population of Irish and German immigrants. The town was called Seneca. It had everything people needed away from the overcrowded city and safety from prejudice and racism. Even though slavery was abolished in NY. People and some immigrants found it very unsafe and difficult to find work and build a home and families. Through eminent domain. The government was able to take the land from the owners of Seneca. Offered little to nothing for their land and had everyone removed. The town was completely buried. Archeologists are still attempting to unearth it. Source: Central Park Conservancy

Excellent animation! Loving it. Since 1970s there has been even more urbanisation in the city. That's great!

absolutely enchanting. I understand its more about atmosphere than precision, but it still would've been nice to know where we were and to put the modern buildings in their actual locations.
