Wait a second... Is this some kind of Tartaria channel? I'm from Omaha and was just sitting down to watch a cool look back at our architectural history. Yeah, people who lived on the plains of Nebraska in the 1800s lived in sod houses. Because there was literally no infrastructure for hundreds of miles in all directions. But yeah, in cities like Omaha, they had modern buildings. Because people in the 19th century were capable of building really complex structures, with indoor plumbing, and beautiful stonework, and lots of other things. Omaha was not a poor city. It prospered, because it was one of the furthest-west ports on a major river. It also became a regional financial center, meat packing town, and farming town. In time, there was also a lot of manufacturing here, and this became a hub for the railroads. It was not a poor or primitive place. When you say, "We have no idea how these buildings went up," what the heck are you talking about? Of course we know how they went up. They used bricks, and mortar, and cement, and trowels, and scaffolding. It's not a mystery. It's literally documented in photographs, in letters, in journals, all over the place. And I had to laugh when you asked, "Do these buildings look young to you?" This might blow your mind, but there is such a thing as trends in architecture. If you know about architecture, you know that there are reasons why buildings in certain eras, and in certain places, are made out of certain materials, or in certain styles. A lot of the buildings in your photos are still standing today and I assure you that their construction is well documented. I mean, what the heck are you getting at??? 🤷♂

The Second Territorial Capitol (not state capitol) was completed in 1858 on what was called Capitol Hill, located on 20th Street between Dodge and Davenport. It was offered to the city of Omaha for use as a school in November 1869 but was determined to be unsafe and demolished in 1870. It was never used as a school. The new Omaha High School building was completed on the same site in 1872. That structure lasted until about 1910. The present structure known as Central High School, started construction about 1900 and was completed about 1912 in 4 phases. Both structures occupied that location at the same time, until the 1872 school building was finally torn down and removed about 1910. This allowed for the final phase of construction and the north wing was completed. It was officially called Central High School in 1915.

Nebraska is a geographically varied state. The sod houses you showed were not from Omaha but rather from further West. You can drive for two hours on a state highway and not see another car. It gets very sparse once past Lincoln. Many of the architects borrowed designs that they saw in Europe. In fact, many were immigrants from Europe. Of course, as progress ensued, more efficient buildings replaced the old Gothic and Renaissance styles. This was common in the United States ... and still is.

The elaborate highschool you are referring to is actually the old capital building. Omaha once was the capital and once they moved it to Lincoln, they turned the capital building into Central Highschool. Now it should be called East since it is in East Omaha near Gene Leahy park ( downtown). The international expedition brought much bourgeoisie money to the area and this is indeed why many were able to finance such elaborate buildings as well as the successful trade brought by the railways. The burlington station is where Durham is now and houses a museum with much information about this stuff.

I thought this was going to be a video exploration of old buildings in Omaha but I’m very confused on what point is trying to be made here? You’re arguments are all “oh this looks weird, what’s up with that?” We have basements everywhere here for one. Warehousing was huge due to the fact the transcontinental railroad went straight through the city so there was an immense district called jobbers canyon with large warehouses. They were all torn down to make way for Conagras campus save for one on 9th and Dodge. Omaha was and is a very wealthy city and could build the same types of buildings during the early years, using skilled immigrant craftsmen from all over Europe, that any other major city could. During the 20th century, there was a push for the “new” so many were torn down and replaced with less impressive modern structures but many that you showed are still standing. The grand high school you mentioned was originally built as the state capitol when Omaha and Lincoln were duking it out to be the capitol. When Omaha lost, they converted it into a high school and it still is one today. The Hindu temple is a converted Italian restaurant that was completed in 2004, it is down the street from my house and very beautiful. We replaced St. Louis as the gateway to the west as the railroad took over and prospered ever since by diversifying the industries here and never getting locked in through annexation of smaller towns so when people moved to suburbs, they were just moving from one part of Omaha to another so tax revenues increased rather than evaporating. You’re just turning something into a conspiracy for views. Real cool

Omaha had a very large stock yard, and the Union Pacific railroad, back in those days. It was a booming and prosperous town. There wasn't much to the west as far as civilization. The city is on a large river so had barge traffic too. The sod houses you saw on google were much further west, out in the prairies. And those people weren't poor, they were farmers. Sod is actually a very efficient building material with great insulating properties. And there simply wasn't any other building materials on the prairies, back then. The trees there now were all planted long ago by the settlers. It was endless miles of flat land covered in prairie grass. About 30 years ago Omaha had a big push to tear down Jobber's Canyon District, where a lot of those pictures were taken. Most all the old architecture is gone. Now it's a small city full of Walmarts and strip malls, fast food joints, and Super 8 motels. The Old Market District is still there... it is close to downtown and Jobber's Canyon was just a few blocks southeast of there. I have explored some of the catacombs under The Old Market, creepy place, over 100 years old. Wish Jobber's Canyon was still there, the buildings were very old and very interesting. Omaha was also the Capital of Nebraska, strange story, some politicians basically stole all the legal papers and moved them to Lincoln, the current Capital, and about 50 miles west. Nowadays Omaha in a fairly unremarkable and boring place. I'm nearing retirement age, and can't wait to move far away from here. Just my two cents.

On November 10, 1859, Omaha Central High School began as Omaha High School in the Nebraska Territory capitol building. In 1869, after the territorial government was removed from Omaha, the capitol building was donated to the City of Omaha by the Nebraska state government for educational use only. Two seconds of research would’ve shown you that the school my son graduated from WAS NOT a high school built to look like a government building. It actually was a government building that eventually became a high school. It’s still standing and it’s gorgeous. You’ve never been been here.

What's interesting to me is that I have several postmasters in my family dating back to the 1800s. Two different post offices were built by my relatives but neither post office is even remotely close to how fancy those large post office buildings are that we see all over the country. They're what you would expect at that time. Simple, practical, well built wooden structures. Yet they were supposedly contemporary to the large stone post offices. So I can't help but wonder, why didn't my relatives build fancy post offices too? Maybe because the fancy ones were actually already built long before my relatives started building their modest post offices.

I'm from Omaha originally, and I'm in my 60s. The Bee building was the home of the Omaha Bee newspaper. My family arrived in Omaha 1869. I have been in many of these buildings and have seen family photographs and photographs in the Bostick Frohardt photography collection. The buildings really were new with 20 years of when these postcards photos were taken. Central High School is still in use as a public high school. Brandeis Department store was originally 8 stories and 2 additional stories were added later. I was married in the "New" Courthouse in1978. My grandfather was a boiler engineer at the Blackstone Hotel. My father was an usher in Astro Theater in the 1940s, when it was the Paramount theater. You have to remember that when most of the older ornate buildings were built, Omaha was the largest city between Chicago and Denver, and Denver at that time was about the same size as Denver. The World's Fair buildings were made of horsehair and plaster on wood frames, and a few of the buildings were moved and repurposed after the fair, but because of the materials used, deteriorated quickly. Omaha had a lot of money pouring into it, not just due to having at that time the world's largest stockyards, but also being home to the Union Pacific Railroad and several other prominent industries during the 1880 to 1930 time period. Master builders immigrated to the city to work in the Union Pacific shops, including several master carpenters in my own family. For a while there was a Ford manufacturing plant in Omaha. There was a very large lead smelter, and an iron smelter and forging company. People west of Omaha lived in sod houses because of a shortage of other materials to build with; there were no trees except for cottonwoods along the banks of a few larger creeks. The sod houses were meant to be temporary and not necessarily due to poverty. Families lived in them until lumber could be obtained, not an easy thing to get before the secondary rail lines were built. By 1900 most soddies had been replaced by frame houses.

I see I have typos in my reply. Denver was about the same size as Omaha when the ornate buildings were built between 1880 and 1900. One other thing about the sod houses being temporary - they were often used by homesteaders during the 5 years it took to "prove" their homestead claim and have title to the land. It didn't make sense to invest a lot of money in a house until you owned the land it was built on.

@@braindeaddrummer The old territorial capitol building (not state capitol) was demolished in 1870 and never served as a school. The first Omaha High School, was completed in 1872 on the former location of the territorial capitol of Nebraska. The current Central High School was constructed in 4 sections, starting in 1900. Both structures occupied that location at the same time until about 1910, when the 1872 school building was demolished and hauled away. This allowed for the final section of Central High School to be completed in 1912. That being the north wing that runs east and west. This left a large courtyard in the center, which was eventually filled in with new construction of additional classrooms etc. It was officially named Omaha Central High School in 1915.

You are really ignorant to question these buildings. Immigrants with old world skills came from many countries and settled in Omaha and worked to build these buildings.😮 Architects were hired from the east coast to design. The city leaders wanted to attract people to live there. I am familiar with some of these buildings. Some buildings burned down. My husband's grandparents were city leaders and led some of these projects jointly with others. There is no contradiction. The bottom of the buildings were flooded by the MO river.

There is a certain group of People that introduced 'booze' (spirits) to society. I believe that the breweries made a great cover-up for old world structures that were "founded". I could be wrong on this, but I don't think that I am; anyway, Omaha was most likely one of the cities in Nebraska where the "orphan trains" brought thousands of children. While at it; why was there so very little academic research into the whole "orphan train" happenings? In doing my own research I found a lot of quite interesting details that were shared by some of the aged 'orphan train" riders. One of those details was that the children were basically brainwashed into leaving any part of their past behind. Only "orphans" under 14 were allowed. Additionally they were not allowed to bring any personal items along with them. Can you imagine? They were discouraged not to have any link to their past and to leave it behind. The 'Children's Aid Society' was formed to place children. This was a private agency with private clients and so the public had no real knowledge of what was being done.

09:43 - the Bee Buildiing (serving a newspaper called the "Omaha Bee") was a seven-story, red-granite structure that took just a year to build 1887-1888 (demolished in the 1960s). The official narrative tells us that, a year later, the paper had a circulation of ... less than 19,000. In a way that does fit with the change in population between 1880 (under 31,000) and 1890 (140,000), but it is hard to imagine how much money a newspaper appearing in 19,000 copies is going to make. The architect is apparently Solon Beman, who also built in Michigan and Illinois (being Chicago-based). It is claimed that there was a 500,000-dollar outlay on the building. Interesting if those factors can be made to add up or not...

@@Fauntleroy. All of what you write is logical and doubtless true, but I was also applying truth and logic. I do not know if the presenters of these "Old World" type videos do the same, and a year ago I would not have imagined myself taking time to post in relation to such bizarre-looking ideas. But here we are. The first issue is that we see from the series that EVERY American (US and Canadian) town and city seems to have been having the same building spree at (what we are told was) the same time. Second issue - when I first came to this idea, they were noting the big story that there were Beaux Arts buildings all over the world at the same (apparent) time. I beg to differ a little. This summer, I again travelled through Europe, and focused on several cities in 5 countries, looking at the building. This included my English home town of less than 100,000 people. Basically, I found no mismatch between style and apparent/official date or between size of building and size of city. Admittedly, the cathedrals in both Gdańsk and Lincoln are vast, but we (apparently) know about cathedral-building so I believe they might be excused. The presence of a number of giant buildings (not just one) in what were US localities smaller than my home town looks anomalous, and all the more so if a population of say, 50,000 then was often (not always, but often) including 6 or more kids per family. Even in Victorian times, kids were not expert builders. This is of course the third core issue: sure the buildings were primitive technologically, as you say, but they were anything but primitive-looking in design and ornamentation. And as you will see from these types of film, the core claim, and the simplest and most apparent one, is that some stunning buildings went up back then, suggesting time and money and huge resources, attention to detail and craftsmanship. In (nearly) every case, the buildings replacing the ones we see were a ludicrously pale shadow-imitation of what had been before. OK, so "we grew to hate Victorian excess and wanted clean lines, shiny glass and so on" - well of course we have actually been told that, and I first heard it as a kid in the 60s. But it does look and sound pretty hollow, and the Chicago Federal Building illustrates as well as many of these examples. The replacement was a glass-and-concrete shoebox stood on its end. As they nearly all are. Most unbiased observers would suggest the predecessor was a greater artistic achievement by a factor of 1000. Overall, these observations and ideas give myself as a scientist a case to answer. Meanwhile, story after story of the 2020s just show that mainstream media, politics and indeed science are not free or unbiased (very tragically), and for whatever reasons are not open-minded (do have edifices of belief they prefer not to have disturbed), and do dismiss evidence that fails to fit. This was true with COVID and the response at all stages, is true with the UAPs, and is true with, say, Gobekli Tepe. 9/11 could surely be added (as the number-1 anomalous event in my aware lifetime). Now we have Maui fires that also look (a bit similarly) suspect, and why do we never hear a word (until yesterday in fact) of what harm was done by the destruction of that Ukrainian dam? Obviously, the MSM is not telling us about things we want to hear about, which it is LOGICAL to hear about! Unfortunately, such ideas taken big-picture do NOT preclude some kind of resets, or indeed the most extreme/shocking version (which science HAS hypothesised about) that we are in a simulation. Some time ago, a mainstream publication DID jokingly ask if Trump and Brexit meant that the "game players" were getting really bored now and throwing in chaotic events. But since then we have had COVID, and Putin launching a war that is as illogical as it is awful. As a Christian Born Again on 28-2-21, I anyway discern that the D*vil's works do NOT add up, they are indeed chaotic, and when you dig further using science or other noble means you always find rubbish, worthlessness as well as pain and suffering (the History Channel presentation of events at Skinwalker Ranch spring right to mond here, BTW, and we now know that AATIP was a sub-part of government research into Skinwalker Ranch-type phenomena). Many things today are indeed evil, and we seem to be surrounded by them, and the New Testament offers us the truth of 1 John 5:19. I believe the NT, and it is there in black and white, from someone who loved Jesus as I do. So we do indeed need to question policies, stories and even our reality. For me (as a trained scientist) Paul, James, John and of course Jesus are now (a further) reality, as is the Holy Spirit very active in our daily lives, and seeking to supply us with wisdom and discernment about our world, whose default state is nevertheless in opposition to the Spirit ... as a core tenet of The Bible...

Consequently, we had a conversation which suggest the Narrative of Classical (European) music could have had its roots in Old World America, and NOT exclusively in Europe? For instance, the enormous quantity compositions attributed to Mozart, amoungst other famous composers, was absolutly impossible for one man to have composed in his short lifetime, and I have an article which discusses this anomaly. Hence, we may have another Psuedo-narrative by the Old Opera Houses/Conservatories/Theaters/Concert Halls/Auditoriums, etc. in the USA being destroyed while the old one's in Europe being preserved to support the NEW Historical Narrative of Europe being the OLD WORLD, and America being the NEW WORLD due to the Re Set at the end of the 19 th century?

The Natelman's and Kilpatrick's department stores are now twin office buildings. The old town hall and post office, with their gorgeous clock towers, were demolished to make way for ANOTHER skyscraper. Omaha did not value its architectural history, and it would've kept going on like that, except people in the 70s and 80s started putting their feet down. Thankfully they were able to save the Omaha Building, the Burlington Building, the old First National Building, the Trio, Burlington Station, Joslyn Castle, the Astro Theater, and a host of other gorgeous examples of 19th through mid-20th century architecture. I mean really, if there was this big conspiracy to hide the past, then why did so many of our treasures survive?

I've seen the majority of these buildings myself being in full use at the time. A good number of these structures shown in the video, still survive today. Omaha wasn't founded until July 4, 1854. It's not that old of a city. The oldest photos I have in my collection, show a truly wilderness pioneer town of wooden buildings and only a very few brick structures by comparison. 30 years later in the 1880, Omaha really started to take off.

Time stamp 5:45, shows a photo of Saint Mary Magdalene Church. The tracks in the foreground were laid in the early part of 1920. The photo was taken June 1920. They ran side dump cars up the hill and loaded them with a steam shovel. The dirt was used to cover the mainline Union Pacific wood trestle built 1904-1908, (also known as the Lane Cutoff). It took years beyond it's completion in 1908, to completely bury the trestle with the downtown dirt. The new mainline went from 36th street west, over the Papio creek at 84rth street between Grover and F streets. This trestle allowed UP to bypass the original Trans-Continental route through Bellevue, Papillion and Millard that it had been using. At 164th street just south of Pacific, it reunited with the TransCon coming out of Millard.

So a lot of people moved there, either as part of the mass migration westward, or to offer goods and services to those who WERE traveling further west. There was a lot of money to be made, so cities grew very quickly.

Because labor costs are so much more expensive now by comparison. Kids in Omaha are getting 16-18 bucks an hour working at McDonald's. There were fewer building codes back in the 1880s, no OSHA regulations at all and Omaha didn't get electricity until 1883. So, all structures prior to that, didn't have that expense added to the final cost of the build. Same is true with indoor plumbing being installed. Another reason, is that these old structures were not heat/energy efficient at all by comparison to current structures and the technology to put them on a plain with todays new builds, didn't exist. Back in those times, you got one grade of window and it was just for looking out of. Today you have a variety of windows with a spectrum of "R factor" efficiency ratings to chose from.
