We were conditioned to blindly trust and not ask questions. Two times in my life over 30 years ago I was amazed at a golden age house and grounds in Indiana. Also a huge building in Washington, DC. Like how did they build it. We had no basis to make sense of these things, but at least we know they are lying to us now.

Yes! The State Building and the Bushnell are interesting, too! Definite evidence of a mudflood in that whole area. Trinity College is awesome. I started looking into the history of it and found things that did not make sense.

Coal, followed by heating oil was abundant and cheap. People, especially comfortable or wealthy wore generally heavy clothing.

[@cha2117]

We wore thick underclothes used blankets had hot rocks in our pockets lit fires curtains round beds to keep drafts out. Used the fireplace in the pub and used hot water bottles to heat the bed and blankets and Tallow grass for lanterns she had one in the book little house in the prairie work was more physical with washing etc but they did less they just sat and read bible and did sewing etc they don't go for runs and six hours in the gym or stuff like that.

You can also see a bridge with 4 arches visible and a canal running through. When I was walking toward what used to be the arched bridge and canal (never knew that until this vid), I noticed the top couple inches of 2 of the arches under the bridge. Now ground level is at the top of the bridge arches and there is no canal.

[@philipcone357]

You haven’t done your research. Hartford was huge in the 17th century. Hartford extended from Bolton Noch in the East to West of West Hartford and from Windsor to Middletown. But a lot of the histories were absorbed into the towns. William Pitkin was Governor in the 1760’s and we learn about him in East Hartford. During the Revolution the Governor was Trumbull and he had his own office of the Revolution and he and the Pitkins provided much of the gunpowder for Washington. Hartford did serious shrinking land wise as churches were established East of the Connecticut River, and south, north and west of the city. Hartford in the Civil War you had the Colt Armory and the Secretary of the Navy was Gideon Welles from Glastonbury.

13:54 that exact pyramid can be found throughout America! 17:00, that is an odd selection of characters on that impressive fountain! Red bricks, red bricks, I have seen the exact, same red brick, in every town and city from red brick coast to red brick coast and everywhere in between, as a Military Brat and 18 Wheeler. Seeing them and those fantastic court houses etc. I always wondered how/why everyone across America built out of the same damned red brick and why the style of the government buildings were so impressive. I have also, watched them tear them down, in the name of progress, of course! We are not inheritors, we are conquerors; when the Europeans came to the America's they slaughtered the survivors, who had not fully recovered from the last 'Whatever Event', the buildings and infrastructure was already in place! I think one reason there were so many devastating fires was due to the old world buildings generated their own power, that, the Conquerors did not know how to harness, so the buildings short circuited or exploded from power surges.

They are built Far Better than the buildings of today. In fact, architects and builders Cannot build them today......we do not have the materials, the skills, or the equipment necessary to build these. You yourself noticed that years go by and the historical record goes blank and then comes back and shows more buildings. No photos exist that record the actual construction of the buildings.....they just show up. The fact is that these buildings were there in the first place....just not shown until years later after each of the "blank" periods.

I meant to point out the perfection in these buildings of the stone cutting. It is beyond hand work. When you see 100 ballisters under a hand rail that are exact copies of each other with curves that exactly match the one next to it you know it wasn’t done by hand. This cannot be done in wood let alone in stone. It requires machines or something else. I don’t have the answer. I would love to see a picture of your grandfather’s work.

The foundations for the Hartford Theological Seminary and the Church of the Good Shepard, the old Bee Hive store, where Brown, Thompson and Co are now located, and many of the finest and older residences on Farmington Avenue were laid by Mr. Sheedy. In 1863, he cut the first stone laid for the Connecticut Hospital for the insane in Middletown. He also cut the last stone but one for the spire of the church of the Good Shepard. For the City, he built the retaining wall on the Ford Street side of the Park River. In the early days, when Mr. Sheedy first began as a mason contractor, all the stone used had to be cut by hand. There were no machine run implements used at that time. " Of course, I realize this was about foundation stone, but there was no machinery, so what's your theory? Couldn't it be a mold that was used?

Been watching some other videos today, as usual, but suddenly I had an idea, one which has been built on other previous ideas or knowledge but which suddenly I was struck by an epiphany! What if we are far older, what if those buildings were buried for centuries, not just decades, what if we are actually in the year 4022 and not 1022 as some postulate or even 2022 but instead we lost 2000 years instead of having 1000 years added? That could explain so much, it would explain the missing 1000 years but in a different way. I am working on the premise that the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn cannot be the tropics or could have been the tropics for over the past 2000 years, sailors would never have reached their destination, so that would see those Tropics set further in the past than we believe or even know. We should have been in the Tropics of Gemini and Sagittarius for the past 2000 years and now moving into the Tropics of Taurus and Scorpio. Before the invention of radio and GPS sailors needed to use the constellations to navigate by, but if they were navigating using the wrong constellations then they would have been too far off course. So, watching your video I suddenly realised that just perhaps, instead of us believing we lost or had a reset in the 1800s, that those 1800s were further in the past than we imagine, that we had a timeline, but that the timelines have been compressed into 2000 years instead of it being 4000 years. I know it sounds crazy, but it is just an idea that formed just now, on 4th January 2022, seeing the beautiful blue dome on that factory made me think that it was so out of place AND out of time, so how could it be out of both, unless we were not in the timeline that we're supposed to be in, that the giants were us but over 4000 years ago or even longer maybe, but definitely we're 2000 years too little. Just an idea though, and like all things, I always say we must be as openminded as we are skeptical, sounds like an oxymoron but if we don't stay openminded then we may dismiss something of importance and but if we remain skeptical we can see when we're being fed some kind of fable, it is hard but we must sift through so much rubbish now, that we're are a species out of time AND out of place, maybe thousands of years out place and maybe we can discover the truth before they pull off the next reset?

They are pulling it off right in front of our eyes.

I live across the street from the arch and capital, I have them in my direct view daily. I wish I could go inside the arch. Sometimes there are lights on in the top room.

what would you do there?

@@snoo333 take pics…

[@snoo333]

@@MarlieAstra i wonder if you would be allowed to touch the material.

[@branden2316]

23:15 It might just be me but when you look at the building on the right it looks like the date 1881 and it looks purposefully designed because you would be able to see it from more than one angle.

I've lived in the West end of htfd in the same house for all my 71yrs.

The antique graveyard you had shown in the video is located on main street next to a Church. My 9th great-grandmother was reported to have been buried there. However, I was unable to find her headstone. Maybel Haynes "Harlakenden" Eaton was married twice. her first marriage was to the Governor of the British Colony of Ct John Haynes and later to the Governor of the New Haven District, Rev Samuel Eaton. She had 6 children and died in the small pox epidemic of New Haven in 1655.

[@illumencouk]

Note the graveyard scene @ 15:39. These graves apparently could range from 1650 - 1900, with the majority being mid nineteenth century. My local graveyard is visually identical to this, excluding the headstone's on bricks of course. Why do I feel that there is a distinct lack of Christian crosses in graveyards supposedly filled with Christians?

[@Medichio]

From new London ct, similar buildings were there as well. I do know the brown stones come from the Portland ct area.

[@SallyInCT]

Yes! Brownstone Quarry in Portland. We used to go swimming there as kids.

I lived in Hartford when I was first born for a few years then in surrounding towns. I greatly enjoyed seeing the pictures. Sadly, I read of gun deaths and bad poverty and lots of crime in Hartford so I avoid going there during the day and would never even go at night, even to the hospital.

Nice Job!!

[@shaskaone]

At 3:04 it’s like they still depicted the fully build city and tower hidden in the background on that rocky bay. Just a thought

[@aliciascott2588]

Great video on CT 👏

[@tiredironrepair]

14:36 look at that super tall tower in the background. I cant tell if it's closer down the street and just seems so tall or if it's actually in the distance which would make it really tall.

[@thrumylenns2207]

Norwich CT is another interesting area in Connecticut. They have similar architecture. Norwich Free Academy is a high school and home of the Slater Museum. Norwich Free Academy was established in 1854 but never says when it was built?!?

[@thomasatchison6296]

Im from Chicago and have lived all over the city and surrounding suburbs. We have Frank Loyd Wright's work still and some pretty old stuff that survived our great fire. Possibly a good video idea for you. I think the upkeep on many of these buildings and the modernization of fuels and electricity made retrofitting costly and our disposable society says scrap it.

[@jameskennedy60nSoCal]

If you do some investigation into the “official narrative” anywhere and everywhere, you will find that the don’t hold up to scrutiny…. The architecture is amazing. It is also unrealistic to think that they were built by the relatively primitive population…. Think about how and why said population would endeavor to build such buildings…..

[@simonh6371]

They weren't primitive. Just because they didn't have iPhones and TikTok you think they were more primitive than you? It's the other way around. They built them for money, they needed to eat and there was a larger gap between rich and poor. goodbye.

[@CaptCovfefe515]

I’m from CT originally and Hartford’s always had a special place in my heart. I think one of the worst things they did to the city in the 20th century was bury the Park River. I understand why they did it (a giant flood but with proper planning and well-built and maintained infrastructure, the river can continue to exist above ground and we wouldn’t have to make such a giant sacrifice.

[@SuperKillgill]

I'm upset that hartford was once a beautiful bustling city turned capital parking lot of the state 😔

[@SallyInCT]

EXACTLY!!! I used to work for a Graphic Design firm in Gov. Trumbull’s daughters house on Asylum St. - it was a huge beautiful stone house with gorgeous mahogany lined walls and staircases, tin roof in butlers pantry, etc. ... now it’s a parking lot ☹️

[@lavallebarlow2324]

All of the $$ Leaves Hartford bc the whites live outside of Hartford.Most of them spend $$ OUTSIDE of Hartford.

[@raypratt3611]

At 5:56 the date on top of that bank sure looks like AD 1374 or maybe even AD I 374??

[@snoo333]

what is the music @23:38. love the music with the photos. i need to visit. Some of those building look like they catered to Giants. The shops were a long smaller people (us). Connecticut could also stand for Connection-Cut? What connection are they referring to? I know the name is a Indian name. its spelling is important. maybe.

[@Dangerous_5201]

Need to check but I would love to see a video on the buildings of South GA, specifically Glynn County...my high school was scattered across a large campus with multiple large red brick buildings, and I am pretty sure that tunnels existed under that campus per my drama teacher who had worked there for over 30 years and she would store the drama stuff in the bowels...anyway, love your channel bro, keep her up.

[@meh11235]

great video
