Who Built “The Core”? Kärnan Tower. Helsingborg, Sweden. Star Fort. Oldest Known Photographs, Maps

Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at the oldest photographs of Helsingborg, Sweden, with a special focus on Kärnan, the ancient tower; the core to a much larger star fortification.
According to the current narrative, the original fortifications can be traced back to Danish Rule in the area, however the origins of the Kärnan Tower are much more mysterious, and possibly even older. We will entertain some ancient myths and legends regarding this area, as well as some more modern theories.
We will browse the details of the oldest images, post cards, and photographs of Helsingborg, as well as artistic depictions from before the Swedish conquered this landscape (and subsequently tore down the original star fort). Leave your thoughts and ideas in the comments down below, and enjoy!

I dont know what is more impressive.. the ancient buildings or the effort it would take to erase all the history of these buildings?

[@Doubleaa500]

So many people become so "self absorbed" and really don't travel or go outside of their own town. Not many people travel the world and even within a single generation, so many things change especially by force within even 2 years similar to how the reset is happening now

[@emilborg1361]

This is my home town. Kärnan is built on a hill and throughout the hill there are tunnels. Between Helsingör and Helsingborg there is an island called Ven where Tycko Brahe lived.

[@naturegazer6749]

Thanks for taking us on a beautiful journey back in time Jarid. What I keep thinking is the population at the estimated time things were said to be built. Say there was 1,000 people there. You'd need a pretty large group of these people to build or demolish structures. I looked at a college in my area and the population st time of supposed build and wondered who was actually attending it let alone building it with the smaller population sizes? You'd need brick manufacturing team, designers, teams to do sculpting of antiquetech and so much more. Did entire towns build some of these things ? Then I look at the size of buildings and wonder how many people lived in them. The population numbers just don't check out with the old world history narrative. Some might say there was slave labor that was uncounted, but I doubt that theory. I hope we get answers one day soon the Secrets to our past might helps us unlock our own capacity. Thank you for taking us on this journey. What a beautiful town

[@kateemma-]

The tower and surrounding walls appear to have had some kind of cladding attached, perhaps metallic, on the outside walls, perhaps transferring the etheric energy down into the water, which was perhaps magnetised and mineralised in order to create an electrical current? I believe most of those wide streets were originally waterways or canals, used to for transport and/or perhaps carry energy with all the str formations linked up just like an electrical grid system. I know this next bit will sound fantastical but I am just hypothesising, but I do wonder if this is why our oceans are salty, from the use of the minerals to create the electrical current, which requires salt, a magnet and electrical input, in other words the ether.

I have been there twice. My girlfriend is Swedish, from Gothenburg, and have been over there 4 times I think. I've gone up into the that tower twice. There are signs in the tower that stated that there was a king of Sweden that ordered the walls of the city to be canabalized by by the citizens in order to keep the city from being invaded by the Danes. Sweden and Denmark have conquered each others lands many times and the king of Sweden thought that if they did not have a military fortress, the Danes would not invade , and that is what happened. I have been to a few of the large cities, and a few small towns in the southern end of Sweden, and it is very unique in a lot of ways. I could talk about it for hours, but endless war between the Scandinavian countries have been the reason for the loss of so many ancient places, as well as just modernization . The tower is quite amazing to visit and makes me as an American with a very short history feel left out of the ancient picture of it all.

[@MickGatting]

Streets of Helsingborg designed wide enough for army and navy units to train as well as to embark and disembark on ships in the substantial harbour at what was opposite Hamlet's Helsingor just the other side of the channel and a choke point for any transiting hostile navies heading to attack Copenhagen and Malmo. Kärnan was the key observation point to identify trade as well as war ships coming from the North Sea. i have been there about 50 times - i live in nearby Copenhagen

[@peterkimball3323]

The Kernan tower is a type of castle. Like a DonJon. You gotta look into the castles of Bologna Italy! The city was packed with towers just like that, but more specifically, the narrow round part, not so much the large square main tower. There's maybe one photograph of the city skyline, showing the castles packed in tight. Great video!

[@jennyhulphers1895]

Interesting! Thanks for this video Jared. I'm Swedish and I have noticed that our history is really obscured.(as it is everywhere) By the way Kärnan is pronounced "Schairnaan"😉🤗

Thank you Jarid. Truly a very educational video. I hope it got the Swedes and Danes thinking who watched it. Everyone else too.

[@pippastin]

Thanks for these amazing videos! Speaking of Helsingborg, I'd love it if you'd make a video about Helsinki (Finland). It's Swedish name is Helsingfors. I wonder if there's a connection to Helsingborg. 😊 Also, if you want to investigate even further back in history, there's an island fortress just a mile from the Helsinki shoreline, called Suomenlinna/Sveaborg. They say it was built around 1700's, but looking at the stone work, it looks like several thousands of years old to me. "Svea" means "free" in old High German, so it means "free fortress" I guess.

[@richardrobey9658]

Great video The sheer size of those buildings and all of those bricks and on top of that is the incredible symmetry and alignment of the windows, doors, steps is just incredible! How did they do this without a crane? How many people layed bricks? How is it sooo perfect?

[@usbxg3474]

the first cranes were created by Archimedes of Syracuse around 287 - 212 BC. People build the pyramids around 2000 years before christ, the romans build aqueducts that transported water hundred of miles through different landscapes! Ancient people were not "dumb"-in fact some of them were even smarter than we are today, because they learned things by observing, trying things and using mathematics without using calculators or computers. We just THINK that we are smart because all of our knowledge can be accessed through books or the internet whereas our ancestors kept and transported all of their knowledge in oral tradition, handwritten documents and hearsay through the centuries. Human history did NOT start when the first europeans discovered america! It started thousands of years before that date in africa, india and europe!´when people build villages, temples, pyramids, aqueaducts, roads, sewage systems, underground cities and paved roads in hundreds if not thousands of locations all over different continents!

[@geomansee]

First thing that I noticed, amongst many others: That tower looks eerily similar to the very first cathedral featured in my recent video called AMERICA IS THE OLD WORLD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHm3YZejrp6IsM0 What was the true purpose of structures with this exact shape?

[@EveRoissy]

Another FASCINATING exploration! Thank you!! xo

[@InFamousProductions]

also, when inside the tower, it feels a lot smaller than it looks fro the outside. something that I've noticed when going into some of these ancient places .

[@josephfinkelstein5117]

I would really like for an engineer or someone versed in construction to explain to me the engineering and mathematics necessary to make curved brick to get a perfect circular structure. I'm sure it's entirely possible it just seems so technically difficult to to me.

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

Kärnan Tower was built by giants most likely. See the engraving of Ned Ludd, Leader of the Luddites, 1812. He was portrayed as being a Giant

[@emilborg1361]

The inside of Kärnan is too small for any giants the same with the tunnels below and there is nothing else around the city that seems adapted for giants.

Hi Jarid! Interesting to see you cover my neck of the woods, as I am in Copenhagen, just a few miles away. Awesome photos, and I learned a lot of history I wasn't aware of. NB: Helsingborg in Sweden is just across a tiny strait of water, with _Helsingør_ (eng. "Elsinore") on the Danish side. You could also look into the Helsingør's castles and fortress.

[@rondareid8197]

Hm, there’s a Lake Elsinore in California.

[@drumstick74]

@@rondareid8197 Interesting! There is also a "Danish town" in California called Solvang. I guess some of my ancestors made it all the way to the West coast.

[@KellyMan1960]

Just a quick correction: the dendrochronology was used on the wood used inside the tower (various stairs etc) and not on the trees outside the building - as this would not make a lot of sense as you point out. Trees in Sweden rarely make it beyond a couple of hundred years.

[@texasredneckhippy]

More points of interest along the coast, Gothenburg is essentially a huge starfort and was supposedly planned by the Dutch; The entire city was “moved” Downcoast from an older city centre to be where it is today instead for strategic reasons. The groundbed is soft and the local population did not know how to build there, but the Dutch were familiar with such conditions. There are catacombs and a “temporary fair” was held at its 300th anniversary in 1923, though very few buildings remain from the 17th century when it was founded since “all but the royal and military houses were wooden”. The neoclassical architecture there is attributed to the 1800s when the East India Company made it a big trade hub.

[@GiftFromGod]

I'm Swedish so this was extra fascinating to me! btw, "Kärnan" as it's called could for you english speakers be pronounced by saying "SHARE NONE" the Ä sounds like the "ha" in "share and the "nan" at the end sounds close to "none" depending on your accent. otherwise cut "nanny" at "nann" and you have our way of saying KÄRNAN. "share none" or "share nann" :)

Helsingborg / Skåne (Scania) Sweden's history began there. the first people came in from Denmark to Skåne. the narrowest part of the strait lies between Helsingborg and Helsingör. People have lived here since the ice age and there is a lot of history there. at that time people migrated in, they could go over from Denmark over to Scania and you could also go to England by Doggerland.

[@chrisbarriere101]

Its hard to believe just how detailed photography was. Our modern pixelated digital impressionistic style does not do justice to the analog resolution of the original images. The soot and grime belies the fact that many of these buildings are just so much older. The square castles with square ramparts are found in Sudan, China, Peru, Russia, Jerusalem, New York, basically worldwide. These are clearly remnants of a truly ancient population. They tell us that the Nords had chicken scratch writing until the 1400s, while they built massive stone cities and sailed around the known world conquering Europe and the Mediterranean in less than 100 years? Unsane. The narrative is for children because only a completely uneducated child could ever possibly believe the nonsense cripe. Childhood programming through school indoctrination with the key goal of suppressing the known history to conceal something big and important that changed violently and drastically.

Any link to Johnny Carson character of Carnac the Magnificent? The character made by Steve Allen and Bob Arbogast in 1950s. They were quite political and hid meanings in their words as jokes. Interesting link to Wuhan China 1919. 👇 Jayne Meadows was born Jane Cotter in 1919,[1] in Wuchang, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, the elder daughter of American Episcopal missionary parents, the Rev. Francis James Meadows Cotter and his wife, the former Ida Miller Taylor, who had married in 1915.[2] Her younger sister was actress Audrey Meadows. She also had two older brothers. In the early 1930s, the family settled in Sharon, Connecticut, where her father had been appointed rector of Christ Church.

[@InFamousProductions]

and it's pronounced "hell sin boy" . The G is like a Y. Gothenburg is pronounced " Yo Te Boy" . The some of the letters a so subtle , that you don't really hear them , but Swedes use them in an extremely subtle way that our American ears just don't hear. I was studying how to speak Swedish and it is very difficult because of that. I still try to learn how to pronounce all the time. I've been with my girlfriend for about 13 years, and have had a ton of Swedes stay at our house and still, it is very difficult to pick out the subtle sounds in the words, Only when I really push to find out how to say something properly will I get it. Also, in Danish, Copenhagen is spoken like this, "coo ben ha ben". That is an even tougher language to understand. Also, there are a lot of dialects still in Sweden, and they all know where someone is from by the accents they have when speaking.

Local history wasn't really taught much so it's nice to finally learn something about my home. Thanks!
