Colorizing historical photos can breathe new life into the past. Do you think colorization is a valuable tool for historical education? Why or why not? Share your thoughts in the comments!

[@togowack]

I don't think they were colourized. I think they were color HD to begin with to get later generations to agree with a false narrative. The Freemasons destroyed these cities that were built by the giants and then rapidly populated them for their own purposes calling it the modern world.

Absolutely! Seeing the fire's orange glow and the dust clouds in color makes the destruction feel more immediate and impactful. It definitely grabs your attention more than black and white photos.

[@Searching_History]

That's a great point, thanks for sharing!

[@thegoodlife6022]

There's a place for both colorized and black and white photos. Black and white can evoke a certain emotion, while color can offer a different perspective. They can complement each other.

[@Searching_History]

I appreciate your feedback!

[@togowack]

Black and white was used for us growing up in past decades to keep us from asking too many questions.

[@DocuVerse-on8hc]

Colorization can help bridge the gap between history and younger audiences. Seeing the event in color makes it feel more relatable and helps them connect with the past on a deeper level.

[@Searching_History]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@luiscardozo0000]

i enjoyed , well done ...going to try to pass you 2k subs a month

[@Searching_History]

Thanks a lot for the love and support! Let's crush those sub goals together!

[@marlenefunk2137]

Thank you so much for this historic period in time. San Francisco is one of the most fantastic cities in the World. It is a tragedy in how it has been allowed to deteriorate for the homeless. There have been people living in the streets since the 1980s. Business on Market Street during the day and people living in boxes at night.

[@Searching_History]

It's heartbreaking to see such a stark contrast in a city like San Francisco.

Music too beautiful

[@Searching_History]

I'm glad you find the music beautiful!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Watching this 5 years ago, we would have said, “Imagine how much a lot on that street is worth”.

[@Searching_History]

If only we had a crystal ball back then, we could've been real estate tycoons by now!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Now, when it burns again, you’ll have to be worried about the Fentynal fumes.

[@Searching_History]

Looks like we've upgraded from just worrying about burnt toast!

[@maraluciaduclosduclos7496]

Uma tristeza que sempre deixará cicatriz para a história da cidade. Que isso nunca mais aconteça pois S. Francisco é muito linda.

[@Searching_History]

Your words reflect the deep connection we all have with the beauty of S. Francisco. Thank you for sharing.

[@clivelittle831]

Interesting content but very dreary commentary. Why the slow drawl?

[@Searching_History]

I'm glad you found the content interesting! I'll work on improving my commentary speed for future videos.

[@dans9463]

Being not from New York city, I find the voice pace fine.

[@jayjay-bz3rr]

1906. So there was an earthquake , we’re not going to let that stop us from building future skyscrapers on a fault line. We’ll show’em .

[@Searching_History]

Who needs a solid foundation anyway, right? Skyscrapers on fault lines are the new trend!

[@thedevilyousay4545]

After the quake and fires- employees from "The Bank Of Italy" set up shop on the sidewalk- making loans to rebuild the city. That became "Bank Of America!"

[@Searching_History]

Thank you for sharing this fascinating story about the Bank of America's origins. It's incredible to see how it all started.

[@WhattheHusker]

The pictures are awesome but the droll narration leaves a lot to be desired...

[@Searching_History]

I'll work on spicing up the narration to match the awesome pictures!

[@laurencaulton103]

According to a recent book, the Army caused the fires to spread with their use of dynamite.

[@Searching_History]

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing!

[@jackmehoffer7819]

And it took just another 100 years and the Democrat party to destroy this once beautiful city once again.

[@bobobo4527]

👍

[@Searching_History]

Who knew politics could impact city aesthetics so dramatically?

[@divinitydaley-killyourTV]

3:14 whatever monstrous stone building at the end of this street looks like it's just fine! Probably built in the 1700's

[@Searching_History]

It does have that historic charm, doesn't it?

[@divinitydaley-killyourTV]

3:28 😂more SOLID standing buildings that look like they only were gutted & remodeling now, slip of the wrist.... smoke & mirrors

[@Searching_History]

Who knew buildings could be so sneaky with their remodeling?

[@divinitydaley-killyourTV]

Uh, this video is so unbelievable.... these images were supposed to have been taken right after the 'fire'?? The people are just wondering around, wearing suits & their Sunday best... Why?

[@togowack]

Because they are a replacement population. The first few attempts to colonize modern america were disastrous. Most of these were sent to ww1 so they could try a new batch that basically took.

[@Searching_History]

It's interesting how different situations can lead to unexpected outcomes.

[@divinitydaley-killyourTV]

3:38 I'm really suppose to believe that some horse & buggy riding people are building those multi-level buildings!.?

[@ChadwickTheChad]

Obviously, since you can actually see the buildings.

[@togowack]

At least some people are starting to wake up.

[@Searching_History]

Maybe they had some secret construction techniques we don't know about!
