I'll have to watch this. There are many historical anomalies worth examining.

Buildings used to be built to last forever and with beauty, now they're built to be destroyed and rebuilt and rebranded after a few years.
McDonald's used to be unique and fun in its design now it looks like a walk in clinic.

When I was a union carpenter on a framing crew for a major home builder we were told they were built to need to be completely gutted in 30 years. They started building shitty homes in the 70s.

It's the OSB IMO.
I've heard this stuff many times before. Maybe there is something to it. Here's the People's Salvation Cathedral in Romania. It's one of the largest cathedrals in the world. Construction started in 2010. It's not finished yet after 14 years.
It's approx 400 feet high
Here is the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul/Constantinople. It's the second largest orthodox church (now a mosque). It's has slightly more than half the total volume of the church above and was said to have revolutionized architecture and indeed was the largest cathedral in the world for centuries. We are told by wikipedia that as it stands now it was completed in 5 years, from 532 to 537 AD. Not sure what all that means but that claim seems unlikely using byzantine era tools

Here's the cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. It was demolished and rebuilt in five or six years starting around 1995. It's 338 feet tall. The original took 40 years to build....

So these people believe that people in the 1700s, 1800s could not build those nice old buildings, but somehow they are much older, because people way back in time could build stuff like that, but people in the 1700s, 1800s couldn't? Do they not notice the massive contradiction?
This just shows that people are getting stupider.
Oh wow, fastforwarded it. These people believe that there were giants that used lasers in the ancient past.

I haven't watched it yet, but the general idea is that some architecture suggests that a prior civilization or civilizations were wiped out. This general theme runs the gamut and I agree that some theories created to explain the apparent anomalies are ridiculous. I came across one video that claimed that all the turrets and domes were energy distribution hubs and the needed internal mercury based energy systems were since removed. Kinda crazy but they made a good case that there could be more to these old structures than meets the eye.So these people believe that people in the 1700s, 1800s could not build those nice old buildings, but somehow they are much older, because people way back in time could build stuff like that, but people in the 1700s, 1800s couldn't?

I mean look at the pics von posted. Look at the geometries and what might otherwise be seen as antennas... We take for granted that these features are aesthetic choices...

And balloon framing and relaxed load specs for headers, rafters and everything else. Home builders lobby congress for relaxing federal codes. Not to mention the way lumber is grown, cut and dried now.

Are you telling me Game of Thrones isn't historically accurate?These people believe that there were giants that used lasers in the ancient past.

It's all accurate except for Peter Dinklage. I don't think they had midgets in those times, just giants.
