Minnesota-The Old-World North Star State 

My own first hand contribution. I'm a 20+ yr software engineer who recently got curious about the periodicity of some celestial alignments with holidays and dates. Attempts to write a program to calculate this turned out to be quite the rabbit hole. I've always wondered what the deal is with various calendar systems, and why there seems to have been surprisingly serious conflicts over them. Well, using the Gregorian calendar, I found that mainstream software time libraries didn't allow for the required BC/AD calculations for my projections. I attempted to use the Julian calendar, Hebrew, various external / scientific resources, etc. in an attempt to align JUST THE CALENDARS. No luck. I wrote the math myself and tried again. I tried UNIX time to bridge gaps. Couldn't figure out what year it actually is. I turned to pure celestial time, ignoring calendars. No repositories of observations are consistent enough to establish anything aside from a relativistic timeline. Bottom line: by my best efforts, this particular "expert" in software cannot leverage even the most advanced technologies in determining the simple question of "what time is it?". Either I am a very bad "expert", or there are questions which are simply not being asked. At least not commonly enough to take collective note of such an unusual conclusion.

You could research why so many Europeans came to America in 1800s, I live in the south of Brazil and still can't understand why they came here, the old people say that America was way better than Europe back then, even Brazil had trains, electricity and light before places like London, in 1850s or before that.

Cedar Rapids had the world’s first fully automatic hydro electric plant. Would you be surprised they demolished during urban development. I’ve been searching for any records, plans, and even ownership. They have done a great job of almost completely removing it from all records.

Thank you from the heart of Minnesota!!

Hi Aurelian , I'm in Le Havre , France and my mind was blown when you showed the post office 's interior : it's the exact clone of the one in my city , which was recently converted to housing units . Even details like the wood things over the entrance door inside the building , the materials , colours ... everything was exactly the same . I also saw in other videos , in the Midwest that you have identical buildings than our old military forts : exact same architectural details inside : stairways , ceilings...

Kinda like the statues at hoover dam with the wing arms

I used to work at the Minneapolis Club. Established in 1888 or so, the club is very "elite", and resides in a castle looking building, right in the middle of Downtown. It's crammed with fine art and local relics like the map you show. There are MANY such maps nicely framed and presented throughout the place. BTW, all those mills were referred to as the "Breadbasket of The World". Between milling, lumber, and iron ore, Minnesota was producing more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world.

Greetings from St. Paul, MN

31:41 🤔 regarding THE FOSHAY: why are there so many Lightning Bolts in Art Deco motifs? Was this an electricity gathering station? Also, why are so many of these Deco Towers coated with conductive materials at the top?

Minnesota is beautiful

Cemeteries have always been one of my escapes. The energy they contain is peaceful to me... especially the very old ones. Just like Old World Buildings. I'm surprised we have access to that map! Another incredible exploration of our mysterious land.🙏🙏💥 Ty!

Definitely one of m favorite channels now, seeing a complete different usa/America trough you

happy flearthin equinox! JK, I think... just an aside on the North Star... Polaris is one of the most unique features of this realm, calling into question all of the 'solar system' features that the 'science narrative' keeps promoting .... hard saying, not knowing ;) and as a hockey fan and another aside, the North Stars should have never moved! Dallas... jeez... in all seriousness, thanks for another awesome presentation...always psyched when I pop in and there is a fresh episode... one love!

Swan Turnblad mansion, or now known as the Sweedish institute is incredible

The James J. Hill house/estate is insane. We went when I was in elementary school biggest house Ive ever seen by far. Supposed to have been a railroad tycoon.

I grew up in Syracuse, NY and my uncle had farmland that was bordered by the Erie Canal. In this vid you mention the look into cemetaries. If you do please look into Oakwood Cemetary in Syracuse. Also I have always questioned the Niagra Mohawk building. No idea about the figure on the front, we just referred to it as Icarus. thanks again for all the wonderful vids.

You truly are a wealth of information. I'm sure you boggled your professors. Seriously, thank you!!!

Another great one! Thank you!🙏

Fabulous video as ever. I have one suggestion for a future video, the 'cadet armories' there were across all the cities. They are basically huge castles and their story is illogical.

Wow its 433 releasd 33 min ago and i hit the like buton made it 33 strange

LOVED THE COMMENT REG THE RED LIGHTS LMFAO !!! Interestingly I was in Amsterdam not so long ago and thought to myself - Oh the only thing they recently built where these boxes for the X workers ! and then i though well that's also going away with Instagram and alike..

I've lived in Minnesota all my life, and my great great grandfather's lumber was used to help build the railroad. This town is built on and in paganism, and these old world buildings are exquisite inside, yes MARBLE Research what the founding fathers' moto is for this state, Minnesota is basically owned by France

Check out the washburn water tower. Built for an orphanage.

At timestamp 23:10, if I'm not mistaken, this building is the old munsingwear building, I worked there when I was a teenager somewhere between 1972 and 1975, some levels where just concrete some had big tiles, not like the typical square we see today. Lots and lots of old machinery for spinning woven fabric, some floors where the huge washing bins for the constructed fabric, another floor was sewing machines all lined up in rows. I have no pictures for you, but maybe looking at its name, you might find something. Also, the court house is now the jail.

Those power poles are so tell tale. We have had the wool pulled over our eyes

if Minnesota has a Swedish connection it could be wordplay. Minne = Memory, sota = soot.. Soot the memories of what this place was! I've seen a lot of potential swedish and some polyglot european wordplay like this on maps of north aseaica.

Thank you from Commiesota!

The Midtown Exchange was the Sear and Roebuck Building. It had corporate offices over a Sears and Roebuck Store. It was so big due to it was the fulfillment center for its mail order building. I was in it many times before it was turned into Midtown Exchange. At that time, it was in horrid shape. The hotel attached to the Midtown that looks art deco is all new. It was constructed to "match the existing" surroundings.

I lived in Minneapolis for several years and was very observant as I walked around downtown. That statue of Neptune/Poseidon in the City Hall is called Father of the Mississippi if I remember correctly.

4:33 When I living in MInneapolis, I attended this church, Our Lady of Lourdes, from the early 90s to the late 2020s. What I found peculiar is this beautiful church was kept in its original state, as much as possible but recently, just out of nowhere it was "refurbished" I guess. The church now looks nothing like it used to inside and it was particularly upsetting to me. I walked out of that church that one day when I saw the lovely new "upgrades" and never have attended that church again...

Thank you for your work!! As a St. Paul native, I truly appreciate it!!! Much love!!! ❤️‍🔥♾️💎💫

Thanks! One of the best art deco buildings out there gotta be the Foshay fo’sur!

Awesome video ❤

Kansas City for the big "art decos", and little hop out to Witchataw for the low-rise versions. I'm from the East Coast, and so I'm used to seeing the grand old buildings and cathedrals that just don't add up amongst our dilapidated downtown areas. But I didn't expect to go out there and see the same things. K.C. has a twin tower building that left me speechless. And further convinced

Great video!!

We have not making this and Indoor oooooooo 😳😮🇺🇸🫡 so beautiful. I love your channel. You are in the top of channel on RU-vid. 😘🇩🇰

Foshay tower used to have a weather ball on its top. The ball would change color depending on the upcoming weather, ie. Weather ball white snow tonight, weather ball green no change foreseen. And on it goes. I'm happy to see this in my feed, bringing back memories for me. @Lucics Aurelian Thanks for this, I just might have to subscribe.

Foshay tower's top itz just laid out like those ancient Sumerian Zigurat. That's indeed a very impressive building , would love to visit the site in person....

My small hometown Streator Illinois has a founding father last name Plum. We had the Plum hotel, theater and he allegedly built the first high school.

You asked for art deco... There are a couple of cool art deco towers that opened in 1931 in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Milton and BC Towers are apartments now but used to be banks. They took less than a year to build; can you believe it?! The Milton's mezzanine - you have to see it! There also was the old Hart Hotel at the corner of Vanburen and Washington that's awesome art deco style, now abandoned. But that place was the bees knees in its day!

Settlers, immigrants, pilgrims, they can go anywhere. Settle in where ever they choose. Wherever seems fit. 200k, double digit feet’s of snow and below freezing temperatures, short growing season, more expensive to feed animals. Long list of reasons Minnesota not on my list of locations. That’s why today there’s so many snow birds.

😮

❤❤❤❤🎉😊

Completed on the birds eye drawing, GOTTEM!

The world over every town and city has the same building types in the same places, suggesting they had utilitarian usages. I get a sense of all these buildings glowing up naturally, each area had a purpose appearing to have frequency changes for each area, you could say the cities were a living organism having no environmental impact. Our relationship was truly symbiotic with the buildings creating the most advantageous environment for us, I would love to be able to remember that.

34:47. There’s one bell left and it appears to be copper!

Another banger! Here's my two cents worth of opinion; "I think that whenever the citizens start waking up is EXACTLY when there's a so-called RE-SET happens" and if that's true, WE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO ONE NOW! I used to end my comments with "WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" STARTING NOW, IM GOING TO END THEM WITH THIS;...."STAY ASLEEP PEOPLE, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"😅😂 😅😅 Thank you for ALL YOU DO MY FRIEND AND GOD BLESS ❤️🙏✌️

It’s funny you mention the structures in my city, personally I’m in Phoenix and there are quite a few juicy finds in the downtown area if you know where to look. I’d be delighted to give some boots on the ground if you happen to do a deep dive into Arizona and its “history”!

Brickyards worthy of note were producing them during the 1850s through today. lots of limestone and sandstone harvested locally on the river bluffs. MN resident for life.

🔥⚔️

just a kind suggestion : u could cover Bucharest - Romania , that's a very good example of a true Old-World city that's plenty of old constructions around and several astonishing federal buildings .

There likely were brothels and some may have been a block away or right next to a church or two. There are a lot of stories about such establishments up and down the major rivers in former french territories. Before flour was milleð there, fur trade was a bigger market and with beaver skins went the sale of uh... beaver

So many battle flags and also they were running out of bandages too.

Who were these people who built these exquisite buildings?

The foshay bldg elevator door design reminds me of the Tower card from tarot.

You should really include research into Russian influences in early America. The first time United and America were combined was by a Russian American in California - in 1797 before California was a state, the widow of an early Russian fur trapper mostly dedicated to Alaska, specifically the settlement of Unalaska. Shelikhova is the couple's last name (may have spelled it wrong)

Foshay building looks like a airport docking port for the Queen and King Divisional Governors.

53:43 this statue is astonishing! But why is he standing on a casket? Also, those are some Buddhist wheels. ☸️ see how the spokes are rounded at the ends, as if they’re to move and flex in place? 🧐

Was this part of the Shaker settlements before it was established as an actual city after the war?

We went from Marble to Asbestos remarkably quick

8:22 I lived in a huge modern apartment complex with courtyards within the structure in Los Angeles. The thing was, it looked modern, but if you opened your window to one of those courtyard’s within the building, and even whispered it would echo because of the horrible acoustics. It was like every other apartment could hear what was going on across the courtyard. it’s like these new builders think they know how to make a good looking building but in practicality, they are not practical

The Swedish institute is also a magnificent piece of history to give context and more proof

Twins weird and cold there

Foshay looks like a transmission tower or electronic type tower.

Mansions are for large families and live in grandparents, plus work and office space.

A lot of interstate through St Louis they’ve built walls. You know because neighborhoods and traffic noise. Hiding miles of incredibly homes and churches

Abandoned "Asylums" across this state, also Duluth, an old world city in ruins, so much nature and history in this great state! Lots of tribal history with suppressed tribal structures labeled "Burial mounds" found a giant mound in my local park, no history to it. central MN.

Yes, nothing make sense out of the historical accounts. I guess those building were found in various conditions, and then founded and rebuilt to a new purpose than it originally was designed for.

Definition of hennepin: anything sunk in the sea, but attached to a buoy or the like so that it may be recovered. Hennepin ave in Minneapolis

Makes me curious? Wonder if there's any old world buildings on BML lamd Or national forest

Art Deco buildings in UK’s famous Poirot series. Funny they didn’t seem to fit w/cars or wardrobe used or era of orig Agatha Christie stories. She lived at an interesting time and saw a lot of the world. Edit: so many beautiful buildings and similar to Canada and other countries. We’re sadly losing our local orig city hall. It’s ‘old.’ It’s to be reno’d for affordable apts. Great but per usual here w/some features kept.

Who were they really signing treaties with? The builders of the old world?

my backyard

In the bird's eye view I wonder if the red buildings are accurately portrayed as red Brick buildings? At 1:26:59 we see the large round windows under construction. Why are they so low to the ground compared to the final construction photo? Putting the Mayo Clinic in the midwest was absurd considering the bulk of the population was still on the East coast during that time. Why make everyone travel to podunk nowhere for premiere healthcare? I agree that it makes no sense. Mayo was known for dealing with really obscure illnesses that affected only a small percentage of the population.

Born and raised in mpls and its suburbs.

I’ve been to these cathedrals. Ain’t no way they built that with 1 million usd😅😅😅😅get out of town mate. The old homes here and there in the twin cities just give you this feel when you walk past them.

1492 is when Spain found. the route to America , Portugal, France, and England,. i wonder what the world's fair's were really all about. Before electricity using oil there was electricty from steam and preserized water.

How much Keeffe is in this movie anyway?... Miles O'Keeffe. I remember Wellstone's plane crash. Now that I think everything is a conspiracy, I'm suspicious of that too. I think the Mandela Effect gave Miles O'Keeffe and extra f. I don't think it was there before.

nashville needs a comprehensive breakdown

What’s up with that? What about all the iron deposits, 200 miles north on the iron range? Fires fires fires

If it wasn’t for Lucius, Eric Bischoff would still be selling meat out of the back of a truck in Minneapolis

Love them post offices. Just the doorways we require, whats needed for a population of 11 ~foot ballpark stature humans.... And doggy doors for 5'7 average sized poodles.

Were churches an early form of power stations?

At 1:00:10 that building almost looks alive. Kinda creepy

midtown building was never lavish, it started as a sears roebuck warehouse.

Funny how the city hall is finished in the 1891 birds 🐦 eye view but it wasnt fished till 1909. They probably meant 888 to 909. Simple mistake

Theory that America is in Siberia.. thoughts?

Also: quite a few of the bleak gotham looking buildings becomr more beautiful and decorated w more domes and decorations as you go in reverse playback using historic photos😂

They neglected to tell us that a lot of Romans emigrated to the new world to escape poverty and oppression seeking a better life.

9:00. Photo shopped flags. Seems they were created across the world during same timeline. Late 1800s? 18:20 Statue reminds me of something much smaller in scale in The Merriman Museum < We are told that that art was a hoax of some sort. I believe it is all real.

The North Star that doesnt budge? That one? Lmfao.

I knew a memeber who passed years ago. I got a picture, a numbered and signed print and on the back it says from from rudy "perpich" and the boys.

Tested positive for critical thinking!😂

They make new buildings as cheap as possible They don't care about art

Ah the old world conspiracy. Because it wasnt the Freemasons in the 17th century that built it... On a flat earth... And we never went to the moon because the moon isnt real either. Got ya.😊

Bro, the whittier neihborhood of minneapolis. Old guilded age mansions. Art museum. Stuff is worth a look
