I've always been a treasure hunter I got into metal detecting in about 1985. One day I was hunting for civil war artifacts in a small town in Missouri. This old man came up to me and said let me show you something boy. in World War II he was a Minesweeper at Normandy. After the war he came home and brought his metal detector. He was a very first person to hunt Forest Park after the World's Fair. The treasures he had was unbelievable. One Platinum and diamond ring he had would choke a Fatboy. the artifacts he had where unsurmountable This is 40 years ago in a small town in Missouri I hope those things went into a museum. The best treasure sometimes are the people you meet along the way

Built massive elaborate palaces. Beautiful sculptures and waterway canals. Palace of Electricity= Largest use of electricity of its time. There was a never before water purification process discovered in 1904 and implemented for the fair. Amazingly only WEEKS before the opening day. According to the narrative the site was chosen in 1901 and opening day was April 1904. They built all of this in 3 years? For a fair that lasted only 7 months and destroyed all the structures except one, the Palace of Fine Arts? I’m surprised more people don’t look into this deeper. None of this makes sense to me.

At the end of the show, when all the lights at the fair go on, there were many lights backstage, and the University City light was also turned on and aimed to shine over the stage at the Muny, pointed toward the audience.

I've only a few tokens passed down from a grandfather born in 1865. But one of them is observations penciled in a tiny notebook as he visited a World's Fair. For years I mistakenly thought it was Chicago, 1893. But the Pavilions he named do jibe with what you are describing. Yours is the most thorough description I have ever come across of the St Louis World's Fair. Thank you so much, it has brought this notebook to life. I had also forgotten about the great history of St Louis, the Louisiana Purchase, and good King Louis IX. Some people from that region, like my father who grew up on the Ozark plateau, used to pronounce St Louis without the final S ( the French pronunciation, though I don't think he knew that). The first time I heard him say St Louie, I thought it was slang or a nickname. I suppose no one says it that way anymore, or do they?

Thank you for a lovely visit to the site of 1904/1905 Worlds Fair and Olympics. 👍👍 (subscribed) I see those people who subscribe to Great Tartaria --Tartarian Empire (conspiracy theory) have been having a go at you on this and your other 1904 World's Fair video. The Tartarian Empire idea was cooked up by a man in the Soviet Union/Russia named, Anatoly Fomenko. His "New Chronology" was based on the writings of an anti-Tsarist revolutionary Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov (1854 --- 1946) These ideas were popularized by the Nikolai Levashov (1961 - 2012) who was a pagan (neo-pagan) occultist and psychic healer who started an organization to promote his ideas and Formenko's series of books. ("Greater Tartaria was repressed, there was a great mud flood ..." "The Vatican ..." etc.) Formenko's still probably shilling his books. Anyhow, the Russian government, the Russian Orthodox Church consider his organization "Renaissance. The Golden Age" to be a cult.

Anyway, went to the Bird House..... Was not quite in our normal state of minds that day, was underthe influence of a little pill called LSD.... was quite an enjoyable experience inside of the Bird House, until we decided to leave, when Jack asked an older couple (probably mid 70ish) "How Do You Get Out Of Here?"......the old gentleman paused for a moment and said to Jack... "Do You Want To Get Out? Or Out-Out?"....I could almost see his brain start to corkscrew right out of the top of his head, when I saw his reaction! Was hilarious!

Hi can anyone enlighten me as to whether taxidermy animals similar to toy zoo animals but made with goat skin or similar were sold at this world fair. I have picked up a 3ft plus taxidermy tiger in a antique shop its definitely the same as the ones that are advertised and have sold on ebay in the past few months but I have emailed all the sellers and not one has any provenance its all hearsay follow the leader. I know antiques and taxidermy from this era and its certainly from this time period. People are advertising them as wood body but as mine is so large the pelt has shrunk and pulled the rather crude stitching apart and to me its clearly not wood these are paper mache or a similar composite around a metal frame then pelt on top. My theory is that is they were sold in st Louis zoo or that they could have been carnival prizes as there is more small ones than medium one and my large one is the only large one I have seen. Kind of ties in with a carnival or fair usually rigged so nobody wins the biggest which would make mine rather rare. If anyone has any provenance or opinion I would genuinely like to hear your opinion. Im on a mission. Thanks steve

Nothing but lies. He doesn't realize that these amazing "Roman/Greco" structures were already here, buried deep in mud. Research the term 'mud flood' and see for yourself; pictures from our past they don't want you to know about. God's word is truth. There was a great flood that covered the entire earth.

Oh no. Oh please don't. You believe the Bible teaches that there were somehow ancient American civilizations that were as advanced as the Greeks and Romans but that were destroyed in the flood? May I ask WHERE in the Bible you saw that, lol?

I think it's easy to think of the fair as a Hollywood studio the fronts of the builds were amazing being constructed of plaster of Paris to look awesome but the builds were just constructed as cheap as possible. Marble was probably only used on the buildings that were intended to last.

Listen, I know it's very confusing to try to figure out what happened, I'm not very sure either. But I purchased maps from 1500s. All of the cities of America and canada are already mapped out and establish. The map shows many many large boats sailing all over the world with Christian flags on the boats. I have a feeling that from the time of Christ until now is what is called the church age where Christian thought, architecture, influence was dominating the world. I believe America was established long ago. It was occupied by monstrous things including giants and dragons, which the Christians chased out. What we are seeing in the late 1800s and early 1900s, even now, is the destruction and dismantling of the Church era, the the rise of an antichrist empire, a Babylon empire, a new world

Hi, for some reason most of the buildings were build to be temporary. If I had to take a guess, it was probably less expensive. Labor was cheap. The façades were made of a material similar to papier-mâché. I made two more videos showing the the fair one is of a display at the history museum.
