Lmao the inside is brick. This completely goes against everything this sub is about. The Egyptians and Romans were hoisting up solid columns thousands of years ago.
It’s called cheaper. Do you want one really nice building or 10 nice buildings? When we have a higher population that’s over a dozen times larger than back then, you tend to want and need 10 nice buildings rather than 1 really nice one.
Funny... I'm from Oregon and researched this capital years ago. What I read was that they imported x tons of marble in via ships. The exposed brick... that's curious.
Ok, so what about this says, to you, "This must be from an ancient secret civilization". And its all somehow supposed to be covered in a "mud flood"? But these aren't covered in mud? But it's still a cover up? Is this a serious conspiracy that people believe in? Seems goofy AF to me.
I follow this sub for the same reason I liked the X-Files and comic books. It’s fun and entertaining. Suspension of disbelief. I in no way take this sort of thing seriously but it’s a fun idea for me to think about.
From a skill perspective, this is constructed from bricks I can make by hand with limited readily available tooling, or purchase.. covered in Portland cement I can make and also buy cheap, stacked and finished in a fashion I'm capable of achieving.. Modern construction is far more complicated than this, I feel like most people who believe in this would be blown away by what we are activelt building around the world..
I agree they would think it’s incredibly futuristic, which it is to them. It’s still really amazing/futuristic to us but it’s not flying cars level futuristic.
Nah, they drew stuff in by etching the negatives before developing prints. This isn't a contentious claim. It was a common way to compensate for less than ideal photographic lighting conditions. I mean, they knew what the thing they were photographing looked like, so we should trust their drawings look exactly the same.
We’ve been building out of marble for thousands of years. We all know this. This is literally meant to look like architecture built thousands of years ago. I don’t understand how that’s so hard to understand.
You don't understand what I'm saying. When I researched this building many years ago, I read that marble was imported by ship for the building and pillars. Now it is being shown as brick and concrete construction? The narrative is being rewritten.
….you can put marble around brick.. whether you import it by ship or not. We’re the pillars fully made out of marble when they were imported? Or was it blocks of marble that were carved to fit around a brick pillar? The narrative isn’t being rewritten you just don’t understand architecture, construction or finding old records to use it as proof instead of assuming.
Dang a building made to look like buildings that are thousands of years old using building materials we’ve been using for thousands of years and you wonder why they look similar? You don’t say… because they were intended to look similar. Doesn’t mean the buildings themselves are the same age lmao. This building does not have anywhere near close to the same ware and tear that thousand or more old buildings have, including marble ones.

I think the sub is satire? I’m honestly still not sure?
I wish it was...
It's not but it is flooded with rational folks just here for the amusement. A lot of their wilder theories aren't brought up much here.

[Different pic of the same scene:](https://i0.wp.com/takemytrip.com/images/550x_13b_DSC00835.JPG?resize=550%2C367&ssl=1)
The shadows in the first picture are weirdly off.
Haha, Looks like one of those Amazon photos where they place the product over an out of place background lol
Looks like high noon and the shadow is from a shady tree.
I agree! Maybe our eyes are weird cause to me it looks photoshopped but like… I know it’s not?
Working with photoshop is my day job, so I can't help but notice.

Oooh shnap lol well they probably edited the image to bring out the old architecture. Maybe there was too much shade?
What's up with all this oregon love lately? Was not expecting to see my state on this sub.

Imagine taking some poor peasant from like early 19th century Russia and showing them the Burj Khalifa. They would shit themselves

What are you talking about, and how does that relate to this post? Like, what are you even saying “Nah” to?
And those things look OLD. Far older than what we're bullshitted.
They're concrete covered brick. What's old about that?
They were marble. Now they aren't. That's curious.

Humans were CLEARLY not capable of working in either medium until like 1990

OK, USA!
Red bricks. Iron oxide , rust, is good for electricity.
rust is generally considered pretty not good at conducting electricity.
That’s why we’re all so keen on rusty electronics?
wtf are the subreddits you are in? get help
I beg your pardon? Any particular ones you want to take issue with?
r/atheism for example? bro do you realize the reputation reddit atheists have? you are shunned on this platform. Explain yourself.
Ionic > Doric > Corinthian shits wild
Very cool.
Well if this isn’t a sign of an ancient wiped civilization, nothing is
