Our favorite Canuck , back in my stomping grounds 💪 I've done a lot of roofs (commercial , slate) in the Boston / Greater Boston area . Beautiful architecture and endless slate roofs . I've said it before , a building that supports the weight of the stone roofs always sparked my curiosity . Being in our research community , I now know what my brain was scratching at . Thank you Chris (and to the boys on the ground up in Lowell) God bless to you and your future explorers bud 🙏

[@cathybroughton66]

That cool that you have construction experience.

[@BostonShovinstuff]

@cathybroughton66 Hola mi Amiga. Yep ! Roofed in Boston for years , our company took care of Harvard and M.I.T roof maintenance as well as the Greater Boston areas . I have been on some VERY old and historic structures . The work was brutal but at the same time I felt privileged to have access to areas that the "general public" would never see or have access too . One of my favorite jobs was Park Street Church near the Capitol building in Boston . Wicked interesting building ! I'm ranting lol . Can't get a guy in construction to talk about his jobs 😆 We tend to go off the rails a bit

[@cathybroughton66]

@@BostonShovinstuff that so awesome! Rant away my friend 😊

[@BostonShovinstuff]

@cathybroughton66 okay 🤷‍♂️ The steeple in the church is insanely interesting ! Me and a couple of the guys went up through the bell tower (they removed the bell though , it's now just speakers) , we through a couple of over head hatches and got to the base of the steeple . 4 sided , looking out octagonal windows , you realize how high you are . The view was amazing . There's a thin spiral staircase and as ypu walk higher and higher , you see tradesman signatures from YEARS ago , some in paint from the 40's (I'm guessing they were painters haha) and the higher I got there was more signatures on the main Mast that supports the actual steeple itself . The staircase ended but I climbed up the woven brace supports to get to the top of the massive support and at the top there was names from 1798 ! They were in a beautiful cursive , also burned into it ??? It looked like the John Hancock signature , if you know what I'm talking about ? I was on lunch break if anyone asks , by the way ;)

[@cathybroughton66]

@@BostonShovinstuff wow! I’m impressed, the only thing I’ve done is fix airplanes. With the date of 1789, that is a huge clue that the narrative is complete BS. I bet that view was spectacular looking outside those windows. Have you heard of the porthole/octagonal windows having no glass but was a source of air conditioning in the summer months?

[@leapyear9460]

The orphelin at franco american has not been decapitated as you thought it might be. It just recently changed from the original franco American school to condominiums. Lowell was the one of the industrial capitals of the world for a bit, and the amount of money that was here along with skilled laborers makes these suggested timelines totally reasonable. I do live here and the indigenous peoples are well documented from antiquity up to and through the contact period. They lived in wig wams while 2 miles up the road these other ancient old world structures have existed for eons? Not likely. Boston is the same way. We know bostons back bay was recently filled yet because there are old churches there we think its mudflood related. I do believe our past has been erased, but if you study the available archaeological record of both boston and lowell, it doesnt take long to come to the conclusion that neither are very “old”. Today, everyone is lazy and works behind a computer so the thought of building a stone building with stones hauled from local documented quarries pulled by oxen is other worldly.

8:36 Hugely significant evidence there with the water level being right up against the building walls, with that 'mud flood' characteristic of the level being 3/4 the way up the windows. I've come to suspect that it was a civilisational collapse in the late 1700s due to a rise in sea-level. Speculative, but much evidence points that way. If someone could stick a camera into that river to see what is at the base of the building walls, it may reveal a lot. Perhaps a footpath or old riverbank (i.e. when the water level was a couple of metres lower).

a five hour documentary entitled something about flat earth... no longer available, described and explored similar old buildings. The spires, including Eiffel tower, were generators of electricity. At the top were placed Mercury and Sulphur which would combine with Ether in the air. electricity would go down to some sort of turnbine or generator, the pillars always had some metal in the columns for transmission.

Whoever originally built these buildings as beautifull and intricate as they are, as well as the awesomeness of their interiors even more spectacular than the outside we should remember that doesn't mean they were built by people or a species who were good. The most evil people we are awsre of today live in and surround thenselces with the most beautiful architecture. It seems as if many people correlate grotesque with evil and beauty with good when that isn’t the case. The organs could of been used to drown out screams and entrance the community during sacrifices, after all every one of these old cathedrals and churches have alters.

One of the last strongholds of the working class in rapidly gentrifying eastern Massachusetts. Historic city with tight knit neighborhoods, and very dense for a city of 120k or so. Lowell has so much of the vibe that made the Boston area great before the tech boom and urban renewal. Lowell was one of the original industrial cities in the new world. I don’t agree with your theory but thought id give some info on modern Lowell. There was nothing but farmland there until around the mid 1800s or so.

Dude you really need to take a class in architectural history. Lowell Massachusetts was one of many factory town throughout the Northeast. The buildings were because they were factories! These towns were built on rivers because they used the power of those rivers to power the mills and lathes that, in turn, powered the industrial growth of the entire world. All of this is well understood. The buildings were built were using the same techniques mankind has used for 10 thousand years only they were using steel columns to hold up wooden beams. Armories thick heavily constructed walls because, not surprisingly, they held guns and gunpowder and bullets. They used the castle design to remind people of what they held. The brickwork was more intricate and ascetically pleasing because the workmen were payed poorly and many were immigrants. Today that detailed work is very expensive and would never be wasted on a factory. And that’s all in 6 minutes of watching this crap. If want to learn about Lowell, read a book on the mills of 1800s New England. Maybe get book on 19th century buildings and architecture. Just don’t expect anything true in this video. Or in any of the others this guy puts out. It is all bovine excrement
