[LeoDaVinciWave @LeoDaVinciWave]

Have you ever wondered how a Gothic cathedral tells its story through stone?

Notre-Dame de Paris is more than a magnificent church. Every detail of its western façade has a purpose and a story.

The twin towers rise above the city, the intricate rose window draws the eye to the centre, and the Gallery of Kings stretches across the façade below it. At ground level, three richly sculpted portals depict religious stories through stone carvings.

What fascinates me most is how medieval builders combined engineering, sculpture, and storytelling into one architectural masterpiece without modern construction technology.

Nearly 900 years later, its details still invite us to look closer.

💥The Truth About the World's Fairs of the Old World

The size and scale of these supposedly "temporary" world's fairs were truly breathtaking!

The San Francisco World's Fair, for instance, spanned 636 hectares, featuring hundreds of buildings and 11 grand palaces—the centerpiece of which was the Tower of Jewels. Standing 132 meters tall, the Tower of Jewels was adorned with over 100,000 cut-glass ornaments.

Are we really expected to believe that this entire complex—situated on a 600-hectare waterfront site in the heart of the city—was built in just two years and then demolished after only six months?

THE GREAT FIRES DESTROYED THE OLD WORLD

🏛️ Así pudo ser el Circo Máximo de Roma, escenario de grandes carreras de carros y uno de los mayores espacios de espectáculo de la Antigüedad.

Donde miles de espectadores animaban a sus aurigas favoritos, hoy se extiende una gran explanada que conserva la huella de su historia.

🏛️ Así eran los puertos de Cartago, en la actual Túnez, antes de su destrucción por Roma en 146 a. C.

El puerto circular albergaba la flota militar, mientras el exterior servía al comercio. Hoy, sus restos conservan la huella de aquella potencia mediterránea.

A Pictish cross-slab was moved from Benvie Churchyard, on the outskirts of Dundee, to the city’s McManus Galleries #OTD in 1991. The 9thC Benvie Stone bears a cross with angels and intertwined serpents on one side, and mounted warriors with drooping moustaches on the other.

Have you heard of "The Club"?
Babylonian pedophile demon worshippers sacrificing children for fame and fortune.
These are only a fraction of them, there are millions worldwide.
Where do you think 8 MILLION children go every year?
Tough pill to swallow.
Time to wake up.

From mud flood to a museum… and still standing today! 👀

Buried beneath metres of mud and sediment, then excavated, restored and brought back to life.
500 years later, this remarkable building is still standing!

San Agustín de Acolman, Mexico 🇲🇽
Originally founded in the 1500s, this magnificent monastery survived devastating Mud Floods during the 1600s and 1700s, leaving much of its lower structure buried beneath accumulated mud and debris.

By the early 1900s, its once grand entrance was partially buried, with centuries old stonework hidden beneath the ground.
Then came the excavations!

During the 1920s, workers began digging around the monastery, removing approximately 4.15 metres of accumulated flood sediment from the front of the building, revealing its original entrance and intricate stone carvings.

Just look at the historical photographs compared with today! 😳

The columns, sculptures and enormous wooden doors are still there, but the ground level has completely changed.
And perhaps the most fascinating part?

The building survived it all.
Today, the former monastery remains standing and is open to the public as a historical museum.
Imagine how much work went into uncovering and restoring this extraordinary place!

💬 What do you make of these photographs?
And how many other historical buildings have buried beneath our feet?

I will be posting 1 mud flood confirmed founded and restored building for every country over the next few weeks.. 😉

When did we stop building skyscrapers that look like this?

P.S.
We never stopped building them, because we never started. You can prove this, because we can no longer build them today.😉

Connecticut State Capitol Building.

Who are the real conspiracy theorists?

The folks that believe this was built in 1870’s with horse and buggy?

Or…..

The folks who believe that a highly advanced civilization preceded us, disappeared, and we inherited their buildings?
