The Hidden Hallway Behind Mount Rushmore And Why It’s Unfinished | Blowing Up History 

Maybe they did they just swept it under the rug

They were tougher back then, someone fell off they just rubbed some dirt on it and walked it off

Now a days, people get hit by a work truck just walking to have lunch! That is amazing nit to have any fatalities!

Probably lost a couple but they were swept under the rug or written off as something else...

U right about that

Increadible. Puts some modern countries to shame

honestly remarkable

Any of you assholes ever hear of The Lakota Sioux?

@@Wouldpkr Yeah, Why are you calling people Assholes???

@@erickr.8977 Really! Some people have no class at all! There was no call for his name calling.

Yes. Back when America actually had the ambition to build things.

I went there in '64 on a family vacation when I was 10... took my wife there in '08 and was amazed at how much the visitor area had changed!

I’m gonna complete it but with anime. Hentai for the ages, just as the founding fathers always wanted.

maybe no casualties building it but many indigenous americans died trying protect that land from white people destroying it.

@@skywalkn297 Black Hills and the Badlands are amazing. Went to Custer and saw hundreds of Bison. It was once in a lifetime experience. Deadwood is really cool too. Went to a place where its an enclosed building and they are digging up Mammoth bones. It's really neat. Oh and Devils Tower in Wyoming is cool too. Make the trip you won't regret it.

Absolutely, and have a beer with the local folks.

I'm sure I heard talk that there is actually plans to complete the origional guys idea and carving out their bodies and adding finishing touches? If that's true I'd love to see it go through

That talk has been going around for decades

Not from what I understand. They shut it down due to the fact they didn’t have anymore suitable rock to go any further.

Problem is, anybody today would f it up.

I saw it about the same time. 1976

Because to Americans this is old, in the grand scheme of things they're a relatively young country.

& written down & organized for them in their own language to read.

Well if you consider that US History dates back to 1776 its a little more than less than 100 years. All this video is saying is the reason it was built was to be a US history museum that ended up incomplete because of WW2

They have to somehow tie aliens into it.

To erase the Indigenous history that site has and to prevent landclaim of their sacred mountain by those nations that till today fight to get their site for worship back.

I sure did. I was an ironworker working the high steel on the Olin Fertilizer Plant next to the Houston Ship Channel for a few months in 1975. I made 8 bucks an hour to risk my life with no safety equipment till some stupid crane operator dropped several hundred pounds of steel on my foot. It turned purple. The boss didn't report it, and was scrambling to cover his ass. I finally quit.

@@nitromartini1422 so sorry that happened to you man, amazing that you survived. Things we do when we’re young, I just shake my head now at the chances I took.

@@fredziffle5219 : That's the way construction work is. When I was a construction worker in Las Vegas, at least 15 guys died, mostly from scaffold falls. I was working for a scrap metal recycling company, and fell 24 feet because of bad rigging. I got wound up in my welding leads and hit the ground on my feet with my welding hood on. A forklift operator asked if I was an acrobat when he saw the accident. When I was working on Mandalay Bay, a guy working on the Venetian had a 4000 lb panel dropped on him. Splat. When I was working for Marathon LeTourneau in Brownsville, Texas, a huge steel section fell on a guy and spattered him into goo. They scraped him up and put his body in several paint buckets. You can really get killed on a construction job.

You were a very Brave man!

@@nitromartini1422 Yes, construction is one of the most dangerous/hazardous jobs

Are we sure there were no native American deaths while trying to protect their monument?

When the communist Chinese invade it will be destroyed

Nah never. Then you would look back further than Washington and they don't want that either.

Actually, they're still open to the public

We were there in 1985, and on the Canada side you could walk under the falls and onto a platform just almost to the horse shoe falls. It was amazing, will never forget. Beautiful there, we also went to Goat Island on the American side, really impressive.

Don’t let Trump get the idea it’s unfinished.

@@justrosy5 Good to know. Then clearly, if we want to finish it, the additions need to include honoring those native people, and proceed only with their approval.

They founded Area 51 though.

Wait till they find decomissioned ICBM silos

Yeah it's a bummer they bit off more than they could chew there because it would be a serious feat of human achievement, even with modern methods. Also, they realized people will come see it even if it's not finished so they're like, well, why would we bother then! We can just leave it be and make as much money as if we spent millions to finish it.

It took a lot of Gutzon to make his living from stone. 🤣

"...it has been claimed that Borglum was a member of the Ku Klux Klan,[23] an article in the Smithsonian Magazine denies that there is proof that he officially joined the KKK."

Indeed. Borglum was a KKK member thru and thru. He had already completed Stone Mountain as tribute to the confederacy. Next step, Rushmore, despite the land belonging to the Lakotas deemed by the Fort Laramie treaty of 1868. This abomination should be swept clean. All of it. And it's no wonder a racist like Trump pays homage to a white supremacist tourist site like Rushmore.

They also fail to mention the fact that the black hills where "confiscated" after the discovery of gold in the area, even thought the U.S. had signed a treaty with the Lakota Sioux declaring that land (which was/is sacred to them) was theirs only a decade before. The Lakota Sioux tribe won the case in the supreme court, and where "rewarded money" which they didn't take because they just want there land back.

In other words he was a Democrat

My family JUST finished that series xD

Your right. They didn't have any political b.s. to push.

What ads?

I never cared for the Guidestones, but does it matter who made them, who blew them up, or whatever Illuminated monument that may or may not be put in its place? Not trying to be a poopy-pants, just genuinely asking. Thanks for educating me and others on the fact Stone Mountain and Mt. Rushmore were designed by the same man, makes me rethink the social engineering (not that I was for it) of wanting to remove Stone Mountain. It's interesting, because most of the Confederacy were either Freemasons or Knights of the Golden Circle, and the Union was led by a Rosicrucian (Lincoln) with Freemason Generals. That's where the term "Brother fighting Brother" in describing the Civil War comes from, as in the Masonic sense of "Brotherhood". Also rather interesting, is how the Freemasons view the "North" and the "South", one being a place of desolation and abandonment, like "winter".

@@mzdtmp2 , on the guidestones, I think it matters who blew them up and why. They should be prosecuted. Was it a group or individual or even the government? Who knows? I never got to see them. They simply were a curiosity. I've never heard that the north and south belonged to various different organizations like that. i don't doubt it. I find that interesting. I had read that one of the reasons for the war was the South brought in a lot of money through tariffs that the North didn't want to lose.

Yeah, they have to sensationalize everything these days. Just the simple history of it is interesting enough.

It’s stupid and poorly designed though. They’ll have corroded bad after a decade and they way they’re positioned in a stone hole that way with drainage will keep them waterlogged majority of the time and advance the corrosion. Doesn’t matter if you caulked/sealed or whatever, when it comes to future proofing none of that lasts.

@@RobinRinge whoop dee do. They owned the land... Got that in writing? Well gee no ya dont because not one tribe in what would become the United States had ever developed any form of wrtten record keeping. The indians would still be living in teepees and dying by age 29 of easily curable diseases if it werent for the gift of European colonization. The indians are better off for it, the world is better for it. Every technological advancement in your life can be attributed to Europeans and their meticuloust record keeping. Even if we choose to adopt your negative slant on it, what about it? Both the wrong and the wronged, are long ago dead. Indians come into this world with more rights and privileges than the rest of us, and since when in human history was a weaker, less capable civilization protected from encroachment by others? Never have and never will be. I suppose you would whine about the poor cro magnon man's demise by those horrible homo sapiens. This is the world today. Always somebody cryin about somethin.

underrated comment

It is made of solid stone, you twit. Do the rocks holding your trailer melt in the summer? This ugly pile of rubble was made like 85 years ago. It's not ancient.

Supposedly it was build in way, where it improves over years.

Granite

They consulted an Egyptian who was familiar with stone monuments that last 5,000+ years.

Has the Washington Monument eroded away or fallen? Check when it was finished. It's been a while. Granite is pretty tough stuff. Take a look in a few million years, both should show some signs of wear. Haven't you been paying attention to the world around you at all in your +-30 years?
