One time I found these old high school science class videos on KZbin from the early 1950s and what they were learning was college level and much more advanced than our schooling here today. The comments were full of Americans in shock saying they felt robbed of an education. We haven't progressed, we are moving backwards. Our ancestors were much more educated than us. What went wrong? Nobody invents anything anymore, Americans were the greatest inventors, well if you seen these videos youd see why. Anyone reading this needs to ask themselves, what kind gov pits it's people against eachother and doesn't want them to succeed? Well generally that happens when you are under a foreign occupation and maybe don't even know it.

It really is hard to take you guys serious with this nonsense. Many of the fairs expositions' where built and staffed by the many different countries involved. A lot of these buildings where built in there perspective countries by men in those countries. After being built the buildings would be disassembled shipped to Chicago and reassembled. I fail to understand your twisted logic when it comes to your assertions that the fair was never built because you believe it couldn't be done. I got news for you partner, the men of that time where quite capable. They where innovative and resourceful people that where living at the precipice of the single greatest transformation of human society that had ever taken place. Putting the fair together was well within their capabilities. The fair was real. It actually happened and the whole world was invited to attend and a great many did exactly that.

Although I did enjoy this documentary I have to say that I was disappointed that it never once mentioned Tesla's contributions. Without Tesla the world's fair would have been lit by candles and oil lamps. Edison was accredited for many different things here in this video but what is left out is the fact that out of spite he refused to allow his patented incandescent lightbulbs to be used to light the fair because he didn't win the contract for supplying the fair with the electrical power using his DC power generators. Instead it was awarded to Westinghouse using Tesla's AC power generators. So Tesla just invented his own lightbulb design, phosphorescent lights and cut Edison out completely. So when that switch was thrown it was Tesla and Westinghouse that lit up the entire fair and showed the world what an electrified city of the future would look like while Edison had only a few small displays in one building that didn't amount to much of anything. Westinghouse would later win the bid to electrify the whole of Chicago and much of the north east with Tesla AC dynamos installed at Niagara Falls.

human labor costs were low there was no safety interest at also no delays when accidents happened not mentioned in this docu is that suppliers of hardware (not in the PC sense but eh, stuff like wood and general supplies) were proud to give stuff for free or at a low rate so they could claim to be suppliers of the 1893 Chicago Columbian fair and put a plaque on their shop buildings. the number of people coming to visit on openings day is lower than the number of people who worked on the project in 2 years many hands make light work eh, faster too! most of the structures were like classic holywood film prop building sets so just wood and a facade and molds were used to speed it up, even more. most of the 2-year workforce was used in landscaping the property at the beginning of the project. gene said government grants weren't given he's right the payments, however, were corrupt and paid out in bars at bar night in bars owned by the people who were responsible for building the fair and, who paid out the paychecks in the first place! ''Chicago corrupt in the past we never heard that before right!?'' the death toll among workers is eh, not there! and with projects like this and the huge amount of people doing dangerous work, and lack of safety measures there should be a considerable death toll and personally, I think there was a considerable death toll but the powers that be in Chicago were so corrupt that the deaths were most likely swept under the carped and attributed to other causes than work at the fair, but! 16 visitors did die in a fire during the fair! so there! so lots of people were involved most probably underpaid and drinking their sorows away in bars owned by the very people who paid them so these corrupt Chicago big men would make their money back over the back of some poor sod jup! the 19th century in a nutshell! let's take from the poor! and give to the rich! like a mirror robin hood is at work here? or is he hood robin!? well, I think he's a bastard and should be thrown into the pit of hot oiled oregano scented glass marbles! there! that does this story out!... now! let me move over to more interesting things to pursue!... like how do cats purr!?

@@hernandezmarkie7382 Equally as fundamentally bizarre and shocking there are no private records on mass of any of these events taking place, there are no personal journals of people who lived in this time detailing their Visit to this place or their purpose for doing so, or anything remotely close to these people; Who seemingly did not exist or come from anywhere and seem to have for the most part disappeared as if off to nowhere afterwards.. I know saying anything about flat Earth makes people call you crazy but let's say maybe the world isn't flat and there are not other "green landmass and ocean filled pockets" across an even larger plane of existence that is flat that we currently all live on. what if the Earth is actually 20 times larger than we are told? without denying it based off of statements like "well I've been in an airplane and I've flown to this country or that country, so I've been all across the entire planet, OFCOURSE its a sphere, scientists and NASA told me so". The very few people on this Earth who have the financial ability or time and interest to literally photograph and circumnavigate the entire planet without using modern GPS technology are the same very people who would be protected and or threatened and unable to actually speak out about anything if they were to discover something... especially in this time where everyone is fully under control, there are now cameras at almost every intersection in my country Every single person is monitored by multiple microphones almost everywhere they go be it in their car, their mobile devices, their cellphone, and the cell phones and mobile devices of everyone else they cross paths with every hour or day. Smart people undertaking research about the meaning of our past disappear mysteriously all the time... Yet people so foolishly and boldly claim "of course this is all there is, if there wasn't someone would have proved it by now, you nut job" . This makes me rethink why we are told that space is the final frontier!..... Likely because it is not! and Earth has not even begun to be understood and explored by those of us whoninherited it. those of us with a imagination and interest large enough to consider the possibility we are living in a small spherical area on a extremely large flat plane covered by a dome OR even A much larger Earth than we realize, on top of a spherical mound which is what many ancient maps Show. it shows a endless flat land mass with all of the continents and bodies of water existing on a slightly convex spherical bubble barely protruding from the ground which would give the illusion of a circular plane for those crossing far enough directly across one direction. There are even maps showing the flat Earth and many spherical convex bubble areas surrounded by ice and blocked off from each other by walls of ice and vast tundras many many times wider than the entire up by the oceans and continents such as the ones we know of on our " Earth ".... I have to admit as a human I know very little of this Earth and it is difficult for anyone to know very much of it.. I think it foolish to even consider saying that I understand where we are or what we are or how we got here for anyone to make such a statement would be among the boldest of claims ever made. at least in our lifetime..

What a letdown it must have been for so many. Not to mention so many employment opportunities that, once the de-struction phase was completed, all pretty much vanished.

The aftermath of the Columbian Exposition was not kind to Chicago. As the documentary states, it closed with the assassination of the Mayor. The Exposition atook place during the Panic of 1893. Constructing and maintaining the Exposition took lots of labor, and when the fair ended, so did many, many jobs. Just as recessions are mild depressions, depressions are mild panics. The financial institution failures took place during the Exposition as the world's economy ground toward a halt -- and the end of the Exposition threw workers into a labor market with 25% unemployment. It was probably worse in Chicago since the Exposition attracted workers who could not find work in other cities. The next year, the Pullman Strike, triggered when George Pullman reduced wages without reducing the rent that his workers had to pay, blew up and was put down by the Army.

I also have a hard time buying the given narrative that only one building was built to stay and insured because of the supposed value of the "art" it housed. I call bs on that one for sure! Plus the given story of the "ice house" fire is extremely suspect. Who writes these narratives to sell to the gullible? They obviously don't bother working out the kinks in the story like for instance...if the ice house was used to store the meat used to feed the fair goers and that building burned down before the end of the fair then where did they store the meat to feed people after the fire? Or did people not eat meat after the fire. They never bother to explain because you are not supposed to ask! Lol! I find the whole story ridiculous and just a cover for crimes committed.

Maybe you should actually learn something about the fair before you make a bunch of idiotic snap judgments. They started Landscaping while construction was going on because the fare had to be ready to go in the spring. If they waited till the buildings were finished they would have been putting in plants that wouldn't have had a chance to establish themselves. They also brought in lots of full grown plants such as Vines and trees. And you called BS on the fact that the Museum of Science and Industry is the one remaining building because it was built fireproof and solid to house the art treasures from around the globe. Why is that b*******? I think it's because you simply cannot wrap your tiny mind around the fact that America was pretty civilized back at that time, what with electricity and steam engines, something you "horse-and-buggy days" idiots can't seem to wrap your own heads around.

[@wallykimball8829]

And as far as not allowing the general public to take photographs, that was because the people who threw the fair felt that they should be able to sell photographs of it since they're the ones who built it. The whole point of the fair was to make money and they made a pretty good penny selling photos. However there are tons of photos that people took from outside the fence looking inside and you can clearly see that the buildings are wooden frames with staff spread over them. You idiots talk about doing your own research. One crackpot website does not equal "research".

This is by far the very best documentary on Chicago Worlds Fair I have seen. So in depth on each exhibit. The compilation of photos and movie footage is amazing. Gene Wilder narrating while telling a story at the same time. He painted a picture of History beautifully.

Long before "Uncle Sam" there was Columbia, female pesonification of the USA. (If the exposition's large statue instead depicted Uncle Sam ...that's how the 1893 audience would understand it. That female statue WAS the United States.) But no longer. If the Statue of Liberty was built today, it would instead be a gigantic Uncle Sam! Today nobody understands Columbia. It's some south American country? No, its a giant green statue in NY harbor, also Columbia Pictures, the Columbian Exposition, Columbia SC, the Columbia space shuttle. The woman on the fifty-cent piece is not "Liberty," actually she's "Columbia." Today Columbia is long gone; the goddess-personification of the USA lost out to "Uncle Sam." --- Odd Tesla Coils (and Meston AC fans) at 54:04 Also, weird HV devices at 46:51. Induction coils? Doing what?!

[@jordantheconjurer]

Well said

[@jamesparker437]

Some say that the statue of liberty is actually a man. Check out the forearm guns, brow ridge, jawline, etc Chuck Connors could have modeled for this statue perfectly

[@-oiiio-3993]

The South American country is _Colombia,_ not Columbia. Columbia was 'the gem of the ocean'. Treasury Secretary McAdoo said of the 1916 - 47 Half Dollar design: _"The design of the half dollar bears a full-length figure of Liberty, the folds of the Stars and Stripes flying to the breeze as a background, progressing in full stride toward the dawn of a new day, carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolical of civil and military glory. The hand of the figure is outstretched in bestowal of the spirit of liberty. The reverse of the half dollar shows an eagle perched high upon a mountain crag, his wings unfolded, fearless in spirit and conscious of his power. Springing from a rift in the rock is a sapling of mountain pine, symbolical of America."_ Tesla was partnered with George Westinghouse to power the fair.

this fair was the modern temple built to worship Columba /the dove/Diana/Lilith/Kali She is Innana the Annaunki goddess os Sumer Just look at the statues at this fair This fair had NOTHING to do with Culumbus ( that wasn't even his real name ) ALL goddess worship ! and then a few years later the MASS SACRIFICE made to her with WW1 She is still worshiped to this day ! Every Mason pledges himself to her She is Lucifer, the light they worship She is front a center at Bohemian Grove as the Owl (one of Innana's mascots) altar She is portrayed in TV Movies and music to this day as the goddess just ask Madonna
