The 1950s renovation of the U.S. Capitol led to the building we recognize today, but what happened to the original columns and stones that held up the east portico?

The traffic at DC is the worst. We were there this past Spring Break. You guys are much brave than us with hopping fences. Never knew these were here. Crazy they just dumped it here. I learn so much from your channel.

@peggycarlyle6409 6 месяцев назад

I had no idea they were there! Thank you for sharing this!

@nathansautodetail 6 месяцев назад

That's really cool. I was unaware the capitol building was changed like that. I like how they setup the columns.

The Joseph Coors mentioned is the grandson of brewer Adolph Coors, according to Wikipedia. He died in 2006 out in Rancho Mirage.

This was a nice departure from your typical California adventures that you guys are known for. Good work and well done for giving us a look at some out of the way history most people do not know about. It reminds me of the Greak, Roman and Egyptian ruins scattered throughout the Mediterranean and is a good reminder that all empires fall when they no longer adhere to the principles that they were founded on. The "American experiment" of self-governing (We the People) will be no different.

@zzanatos2001 6 месяцев назад

Be sure to check out the Smithsonian. It will take several days to do it right. A well-kept secret is the National Cryptologic Museum. The inner harbor in Baltimore is also awesome with the National Aquarium and great Italian and seafood restaurants. DC is a great place to explore.

The columns are awesome, great to see the way they're being preserved. It's unfortunate the rest of the pieces were just dumped but i guess without a plan there wasn't much use for them.

@brillblonde6705 6 месяцев назад

This episode is really full of new information, at least for me. The sculpted sandstones are extraordinary. I was happy to see that the columns are displayed in a beautiful area with proper honor and care. Great job sharing a bit of US history!

(2) Kudos for the "X-Files; Fight The Future" reference (3) Based on this video, I can only logically conclude the stones are being moved to Area 51. (4) Tackle the "DaVinci Code" before you get to the airport (5) Seriously fun video, keep up the good work & stay safe out there!_*

Did you not hear about the Jan 6 putsch? Maybe acquaint yourself with facts and reality. Just because tRump supporters are incompetent morons doesn't mean it wasn't an insurrection.

"We're not Mulder and Scully..." They wouldn't give a second thought to hopping the fence...they're FBI agents! 🙂 Actually, considering how easy it was to get in there I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few people have gone home with a souvenir chunk or two. Seeing the Capitol Columns, the first thing that comes to mind are the Windsor Ruins in Mississippi just off the Natchez Trace.

3:29 Drew, dude: honestly, you have no idea. 🙄 4:37 LBJ: the facial expression of a man who hears the urgent call of nature... 5:55 An inscription for the ages...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Typically, the 'government' concerned itself with self-immortalization (i.e., sandstone to marble), rather than using the tons of funds to benefit the American population. Bad Career Move. 👎🏻👎🏻 6:12 Far left: runes on the sandstone are not typically graffiti tags 8:10 TANIS (and Karnak and Luxor, and Persepolis) vibes from this site. 9:07 'Freedoms and opportunities', coming from the legendarily racist Coors family, is cringe-inducing. (The 'Holland' given name, however, certainly checks out ☑) 9:15 '...Donors, or patrons...', or something else entirely. THANKS, Muldur and Scully! (ps: if you're moving, and the drizzly weather is making you feel 'more at home'--does this mean Outta El Ay?) 🤔💭

In case the White House needed restoration? 6:45

@OddityOdysseys 6 месяцев назад

The White House is made of the same kind of sandstone, as the capitol stones. So they could still be used to repair the white house.

@flyoverkid55 6 месяцев назад

Rock Creek Park is where the remains of Chandra Levy were found. She was a Congressional staffer that was murdered in 2001 (?). I won't take the low road and make this political, like you two did with your intro.
