As they deleted the previous post (because notifications of it no longer arrive), today I come to talk to you about the universal exhibition of Paris 1900, a great feat in which 80 monumental buildings could be built in record time in just 3 years.!!! And the materials of those that last today (despite being planned as temporary buildings) the strange thing is that those that do not exist and some of those that were also built with resistant materials were dismantled, why? I know that many will come out to shout that we underestimate the people of the 19th century and their technology but they really swallow the idea that buildings built with steel, wrought iron, limestone, marble and glass, many that still exist today, were built in 3 years? It's just that we're not just talking about buildings but bridges, train stations and palaces.!!! Something that today with the technology that exists would be impossible.!! These are not temporary buildings the materials they used attest to it, so if today to build 1 single building takes up to 3 years with the technology we have, multiply that 3 and tell me if I'm sick in my head.

Amazing work! Some will say there doctored, but some are just amazing! Definitely something being hidden.
Your ignorance of how these buildings were built and the material used is astounding. Please, before you base some inane theory on a set of hundred-year-old pictures, take a moment to read a little bit about building methods and materials like steel erection and plaster facades. Your idea of “monumental” is ridiculous.
I don’t think technology is the problem, bureaucracy is…
For anyone unaware this is the grandest conspiracy of our time, the big lie.
All roads of truth lead here.
The argument for these old world buildings, especially those that were part of world fair exhibitions, was that these were built as temporary facades that were not meant to last. Any that are preserved to this day were demolished, redesigned and rebuilt.
Yeah well, that’s not exactly how things happened. The first pic for example is the Grand Palais, in Paris:
« The structure had problems that started even before it was completed, mainly as a result of subsidence caused by a drop in the water table. The builders attempted to compensate for this subsidence, and for a tendency of the ground to shift, by sinking supporting posts down to firmer soil, since construction could not be delayed. These measures were only partially successful. Further damage occurred once the building was in use. Excessive force applied to structural members during the installation of certain exhibitions such as the Exposition Internationale de la Locomotion Aérienne caused damage, as did acid runoff from the horse shows. Additional problems due to the construction of the building itself revealed themselves over the course of time. Differential rates of expansion and contraction between cast iron and steel members, for example, allowed for water to enter, leading to corrosion and further weakening. When finally one of the glass ceiling panels fell in 1993, the main space had to be closed for restoration work, and was not fully reopened to the public until 2007. »
So definitely didn’t take 3 years all together.
