_Description_
Could an advanced ancient civilization have built grand utopian cities all over the world—only to have them destroyed or covered up? In this video, we explore the real historical “cover-up” behind these provocative photos, focusing on the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Join me and architectural conspiracy expert Zach Mortice explore the iconic “White City” at the World’s Fair which birthed modern urban planning—and might have accidentally fueled the Tartarian conspiracy theories. We’ll take on why these grand structures vanished, the rise of the City Beautiful Movement, and how Parisian-style boulevards replaced entire communities in American cities.
