secrets related to exhumations

[Music]
the story of how this beautiful landscape
close to the capitol became a
cemetery is perhaps one of the most
unusual that we could find in the
book of the secrets of united states
the story begins in this ancient
residence called arlington house their
formerly it was known as the
mansion castings lee built in 1802
because of washington park assist med
stars of George Washington
the house was destined to be more than
home
[Music]
george washington park astiz wanted
honor George Washington
so he built arlington house as
residence and at the same time a place in
memory of the first president not yet
there were monuments to washington nor to
no other American
so I did not have a model and in many
senses marked trends
this house was our first moment

when george washington park castings
died in 1857 his daughter Mary inherited the
property of 450 hectares
becoming one of the most women
rich and desired virginia
among his many suitors was a
young and attractive graduate of west point
called Robert he and her father were
practically the first first family
from the united states so he was very
required
Robert Lee got his hand and it was a hit
in other ways
Lee was a boy his family had
received that fortune long before
so he got a good makeup
{39295}{39341} for almost 10 years.
arlington house was the home of emery
Robert Lee but in 1861 when he
looming goes to the war of secession
lee rejected the offer to send the
army of the union to fight for
his home state of virginia he had
voted to be separated practically from the

General Robert Lee became the
public enemy number one of states

then the estate castings reads
it represented a strategic threat
for the safety of the capital of the
nation when he read he left to take
the command of the Confederate army its

[Music]
the square was occupied by the army of
the union as part of the strategy of
capitol defense
but during the spring of 1864 when
the fight intensified washington was
flooded with wounded soldiers and
dying
that caused a crisis without
precedents and forced the army to
look for a new cemetery and they found
the new cemetery in arlington house
by order of montgomery cemex intendente
general of the union army
considered the actions of lincoln going to
acts of treason and when in June
1864 they created the cemetery in at least
65 people were buried there
most roses for oral health and
some of the burials are
they did very close to the house and had
as an objective insult to the family reads
for their betrayal to the union think about that
turn your house into a cemetery
would curb the desire of roberts liz of
return sometime in late 1864
there were more than 7,000 soldiers buried
in arlington that the house became
inevitable and never returned to arlington
after his march in 1861 mary and he did it in
1873 lived the tombstones that surrounded it
she was devastated and died a few months
After
[Music]
after the war the son of robert the and
george washington castings lee tried
recover the family estate demanded
the federal government has argued that
the seizure of the land had been
unconstitutional and illegal
the judge ruled in his favor in 1883 that
would have involved the exhumation of 15,000
soldiers by the government
instead the congress took the wise
decision to acquire the property by
150,000 dollars and will pay castil and that his
inheritance and who represented the government

ironically it was robert todd lincoln the
only surviving son of

[Music]
but in spite of its tormented history
the arlington national cemetery is
hike as a lasting monument to the
fallen heroes of united states
each tombstone represents a story to the
wait to be told last to be
remembered
it's a place to learn about
history of the nation and where to appreciate
the sacrifice of so many Americans
who have served this nation
courageously in the 200 years of
history
most of the four million
visitors who come here every year
do not know the secretariat reason that led
to the creation of this cemetery not as
a place of honor but as an act of
revenge against an enemy of the nation
arlington house the residence built
in honor of George Washington is still rising

monument that bear his name

is the tallest stone structure in the
world a symbol of strength and
United States prosperity of 169
meters high an impressive tribute to
one of the most important citizens
of the country george washington the monument
to Washington represents the importance
from George Washington for the nation
who were helping the country out
his childhood
they were looking for inspiration in law but
keep this recognition secret
seemingly simple at first
United States's president
if so, where would it be hidden
maybe one of the first clues was
find at a glance
and is that if you look closely it seems
there is a slight variation in the
whiteness of the stone
but why is the secret of
monument to washington the death of
Washington in 1799 prompted the idea of
a national crypt for the remains of
president under the capitol dome
[Music]
but when the washington family
insisted that his body remain
in mount vernon the idea was abandoned in
1832 more than thirty years after his
death and on the centenary of his
birth
a group of citizens created the
society of the national monument to
In Washington, DC:
they assumed the project and chose a
design by architect Robert Minis the
original design by robert mil for the
monument to washington was a huge
182-meter high obelisk with a
pyramidal cusp much more flattened than
what currently crowns it
he also had a column is surrounding
the central monument and statues that
they represented the founding fathers
supporting George Washington in the
creation of the mich nation
he was a great colossus inspired by the world
ancient in egypt and rome
if george washington could have
seeing it would have rejected its cost was
enormous would have cost the country all its
wealth is to build this monument and not
you had that money the congress was
refused to pay it and society for the
monument dedicated 15 years to raise the
money needed for the ambitious
project finally on July 4
1848
several thousand people gathered
on a hill south of the white house
to celebrate the beginning of the plaza do
project what they witnessed was not the
simple placement of a stone but a
strange ritual performed by
members of the most hermetic of the
secret societies of united states
the freemasons the most goals were
decisive in the construction of
monument to washington of course by
the person he honors and george
Washington had been a more prominent
or for George Washington the Freemasonry
was the most important thing in his life was of
seen but not Christian in the sense
traditional believed that nature
gives the key the reason for everything
and what the freemasons did was look
the band the apron and the mace de george
In Washington, DC:
people would find it fun but
it was not and they did it to identify themselves
with the father of our nation
the freemasons raised a large amount
of money for the construction of
monument that I have behind and for many
others
besides the big marble stones
needed to cover the outside of the
monument
other stones were needed for the
interior and were achieved in the form of
Memorial blocks donated by
people around the world that often
They include elaborate inscriptions
millions of people know the
monument to washington and they visit it
when they come to the city but they do not have
no idea that there are 193
stone blocks memorial stones

masonic lodge fire parks
from other countries and even from
particular one of these stones almost

but of all the government of states

in 1853 the pope pio ninth donated a
stone with the inscription of Rome for
America
this simple contribution caused a
strong protest from a radical group
known simply as the know
nothing or those who know nothing
their name is from way they celebrated
secret meetings and when people
I asked always I answered I do not know anything
nothing happened
there has not been any meeting was a
group formed mostly by
white Protestants fearful of the
Irish and German immigrants the

the Nazis decided to steal the the
They transported by car to the river
potomac and destroyed it in a thousand pieces
but around 1980 the church sent a
stone to replace the one that
lost in 1850 in the long run the party of
the unborn took control of
the society of the monument to washington
but his irruption in the project had
a great negative impact and the
works were interrupted were the
causing the interruption of the
Washington monument project
because when the know nothing is
they took over the management of the
congress withdrew its financing
a few years later the war of
secession what took the huge delay
in the construction of the monument during
0.5 - 17.6 years
the moment remained unfinished
the landscape of the nation's capital
but when they finally resumed the
works in 1878 a radical change was made
in its design in 1878 the budget
it was still tight and it was considered
unnecessary to build the rest of the
design of thousand tomas lincol casey del
engineering corps took over the
project and rethought the original design
eliminated the pantheon and modified the old
obelisk symbol to create a
monument that is an obelisk but has
an elevator and a lookout
the monument dedicated to our first
president the father of our nation is
an obelisk of Egyptian style
nobody wonders why it was george
washington of Egyptian descent
Of course it was not English but casey
also allowed the freemasons to
they had participated in the construction
original of the moment
add ancient mystic symbols in the
interior of the building when focused
in the elevator on one of the doors
there is a disc next to it with a star
six points
that side disc dates back to mythology
Egyptian and refers to the elevation
of people's consciousness goes up in a
elevator on which there is a disk to

again its objective is to emphasize the
ascension to the spiritual dimension with
the six-pointed star they have at
center an obelisk in the style of the old
Egypt to honor the first president

resented by the tight control of the
Mexican government and they took up arms
in an effort to crush the rebellion
General Antonio López de Santa Anna
march north of san antonio where a
small group of rebels had occupied
an old well-known Catholic mission
like the poplar one of the great
misunderstandings of the Battle of the Poplar
is that it was never for the old mission
but for the control of the city of san
Antonio on the other side of the ring

strategically it is one of the
major routes out of Mexico and
for that reason the Texans thought that
if they could stop santa ana

morning of March 6 Holy General
Anna ordered the attack
in a few minutes the Mexican forces
They overcame the walls and only left with
life a handful of defenders believe
that the fight did not last more than 90 minutes
and it was very cruel 2
when speaking of the poplar always the
controversy of the number of victims
all we know is that 189
defenders fell but the versions
Mexicans indicate that they located and
they counted 250 bodies
so the question is who they were
those bodies over where they came from
of the poplar is surrounded by mystery
because all the defenders who died
and their bodies were burned
the news of the killing of the poplar
impact the American people ran
the rumor that a bloodthirsty santa ana
I had personally ordered the
execution of all occupants of the
poplar and hundreds of volunteers came
to tiles in search of revenge
[Music]
the revenge I do not go out to show off but
was what really led to the

800 leave us furious with the
cry of remembered does the work here
they beat almost twice as many soldiers
Mexicans
the battle lasted only 18 minutes and of
fact made Texas independence

[Music]
but although the story of the bloody
killing of santa ana in the poplar provoked
public outrage and led to the
independence of Texas were few
who knew about the compassion shown by
the general towards dozens of defenders
whose lives she forgave including women
children messengers and 3 black slaves in

blanket each and sent them home
but what other mysteries and secrets
still surrounding the poplar and how many of
they are true
one of the greatest mysteries associated with
the poplar is that one of its defenders
most outstanding james bowie brought
I get a silver treasure and what's in the car
here in the poplar there is a well that was
excavated during the war but does
little was born a myth around him is myth
is that the treasure and james bowie was
hiding in the pit that santana
I was trying to take the poplar to get
terror and that texans defended the
mission so he does not do the stolen thing
there are 50 million reasons why
that battle took place but that was not
it was a law actually the myth was created
as an advertising ploy for the
Archaeological excavation of the head and
something from the well some years ago it
found in the well it was likely that she
there is a well in the enclosure
but it's modern and it was built many
years after the battle
nonetheless it is a further reminder for
the four million people that
visit the poplar every year since the
current site keeps little resemblance to
the extensive complex existing in 1836
now all that is left of the poplar is
the church or the chapel that is the
building in which we find the
part of the old convent that during
long it was known as the
barracks was torn down in 1911 and 12
but the different rooms have been
rebuilt using the same stones
of the original structure only remains
the west wall of the barracks and the
church the facade of the church is
really iconic is what people see
and identify with the poplar
for a time in poplar myth
argued that the battle took place in
that building but actually it
developed throughout the complex
14,000 square meters and the bird is a
victim of progress
the city has been growing and
expanding until crossing the river and
surround the alamar has gone gobbling
until what we have now but despite
of the army of historians who have
sifted each grain of its amazing
history there is a secret barely known
for most visitors

more of my touch of reality there are two
ways to see the poplar through the

there's a lot of magic around the bridge

people around the world can see it in photos

impressive to see him go through it and touch it
the golden gate bridge has become

modern
but there was a time when very few
they believed that it could be built
and if it could be and assured
[Music]
the golden gate bridge was considered a
great challenge for the width of the strait
the engineers thought it was not
equitable.
conceived in 1916 after the devastating
San Francisco Earthquake
the bridge was an engineer's idea
Josef Strauss Strauss was the engineer
who said it could be done when many
others he believed impossible officiated his
cost in more than 100 million dollars
however Strauss said he could do it
for only 27 million and it finally cost
35 million dollars
his determination to see the bridge finished what
took to be surrounded by a team of
experts that would help you do it
actually I was not a great engineer I was not
a great bridge designer but it was a
superb entrepreneur of construction
of bridges
[Music]
strauss took his design to reality
with the help of a brilliant team of
architects and engineers including the
expert engineer Charles Alton and Ellis
the designer of suspension bridges more
prominent country

they were the towers and threw them higher
of what was considered possible in the
moment
that allowed to extend the cables of
suspension of the bridge to one
greater distance and achieve that the bridge
will save the strait

the cables support the bridge and the
towers holds on the wires
the cables are anchored in live rock

to reduce deaths during the
Construction
Strauss installed a network under the bridge
giant where will collect the workers
that the network accidentally fell
it served to prevent them from occurring
to prevent them from killing themselves
It was the first major project
construction that had safety net
from one extreme to the other and saved the life of
19 men who fell in the who
they survived the fall they considered
an elite group
the club halfway to clean it
it was a good club that belongs to the
I saved it and they were going to drink something
with colleagues after work to
talk about it there were casualties
eleven men died in the construction
from the golden gate towards the end of
the construction broke a scaffold it
detached and went through the network
those men died
after six years of work the impossible
it turned out to be possible when the golden
gate was inaugurated on May 27,
1937 was something extraordinary
everyone was anxious to be the
first to do something about him the
first to dance tap in fountain the
first to go through the banks 200 thousand
people crossed the celebration lasted
All weekend
the schools closed there were parades and
several all the people of san francisco
of Marin County and the rest of
counties came to celebrate the
inauguration of the bridge with time the
fear that the bridge suffered a failure
structural was fading until
three years later in 1940 when another
suspension bridge designed by lion
moiseff located in tacoma washington
it began to develop and oscillate
suddenly as seen in this
singular color filming museums the
moi's great ambition was to do
bridges higher and longer and lighter
this aerodynamic quality was
wonderful because it allowed the bridge
adapt to weather conditions
but in the case of tacoma the bridge was
too windy blew a wind
strong
the structure began to move
unleashing a process that ended with
its collapse
the fall of the Tacoma bridge sowed the
panic in san francisco and although the
engineers added quickly
side restraints under the road
to give it more rigidity
the strong wind forced its closure in
in
the storm that forced the closure stressed
the fact that the bridge is a work in
ENGAGEMENT
the bridge has a lot of strength
resistance to wind but it's a bit
unstable when it reaches
speeds too high because it makes
that the structure to lomé
this means that it moves up and
down and it also has twist
so stability had to be improved
before the wind, modernizing it a bit
golden gate has been standing for more than 70 years
but a secret that few know is what
close that was on an occasion of
come down and kill hundreds of thousands
of people
on May 27, 1987 during the
celebration of the 50th anniversary of
bridge
the agents cut the road traffic and
they opened the bridge to pedestrians
although 50 thousand people were expected
number of attendees rose to almost 800
thousand eight hundred thousand people in the area
of the bridge and about 300,000 on the
structure and how the bridge had been
built to move he did it is
probably the biggest burden that has
endured there were never so many people in the
bridge that the curve it makes on the
water went straight the bridge gave 16
one thousand 242 crowds one from the
north and south were found in
half of the bridge without being able to advance
people started to climb the
balustrades steel beams of medium
meter wide located 60 meters above
Water
the witnesses claimed that the cables
that sustain the surface
they were as tense as the strings of
a harp and when the wind caused the
pedestrian bridge swing
central bank suffered nausea and
they started to get scared
the engineers were on a
of the towers doing calculations
precipitated and were convinced of
that the bridge was safe but had been
built to move and we had not
experienced what is called charge
dead
we have a live load going through the
traffic bridge in continuous movement
luckily the modifications that were
had done recently they allowed
the bridge overcome that difficulty
but it was a scary moment because we
we were heading towards what could have been
been the biggest engineering disaster
civil in the history of mankind
for its 75th anniversary that was in May
2012
We decided not to open it to pedestrians but
could the golden gate collapse under
the weight of drivers and pedestrians or by
environmental factors such as water
the foot
all because of earthquakes
the bridge has not yet collapsed because
it was well constructed well designed and is
well maintained
This does not mean that you do not have
problems 75 years ago the technology
for the construction of bridges was not
as the current
now we know much more about the
vibration and oscillation caused by the
wind and over the cracks that can
appear on the steel when it
overload
despite the natural challenges and
artificial

it is the pride of san luis missouri a
bright door to the west and beyond
but this arc of entry serves a
most secret purpose it is possible that
as many residents of the area believe
this architectural wonder can
affect the climate
San Luis is a very climate zone
violent in spring and summer there is
many thunderstorms in winter
There are often many snowstorms
most of the time the storms go
from north to south and do not go through the city

and although it has been studied no one seems
understand it finished in 1965 the white

American architect of origin
Finnish eero saarinen presented his
design to contest in 1948 for
commemorate the role the city had
as an expansion gate to the west
the gateway arches a unique project
nothing similar had ever been done and
has never been done again is a
192 meter high curve structure
it was a very advanced design for 1948
many people thought it was impossible
build a technology was used
stainless steel cladding that
only one aircraft had been applied
decade before
the exterior of the arch was built with
half centimeter stainless steel
thickness and the interior with steel at
carbon
Isaac the sections were welded to form
only one piece
the architect said that the structure
it would last a thousand years
but had erosa have another purpose
maybe more secret to the design of the
Arch knew maybe he could have a
impact on the climate pattern of the
zone
There are those who believe that size and
shape of the large steel structure

particles or any other generator
magnetic fields buried under the
bases of the arch but the truth is that
could be done could channel or to
bring energy from another site and create a
powerful ionic impulse that alter the
climate from the scientific point of view
there are two problems for the creation of a
ionic pulse the first has to do
with negative and positive charges
the conductors only allow the flow
of negative charge so to achieve it the
pulse would be negative
The second problem is that
drivers have the ions that they
move around and release union of
a driver is really difficult and
it requires an amount of energy 100
times higher than normal temperature
of a room so I would have to
heat it and only when it was at

is extraordinary and its curvature is
considered one of the most resistant
in the field of physics in the part
the top of the curve is the
cornerstone that keeps the bow in
the foot that makes him a niki him
gives strength and strength under the stone
angle located at the top of the arch
there is a time capsule added to
monument before its completion
but what it contains could contain something
more than objects related to the
origin of the arch
unfortunately we can never open the
capsule unless the bow falls down already
which is under the cornerstone
and will have to stay there as much as
do the structure until they decide
knock it down or do it on its own inside
thousand years are those who are not
there is strong evidence that the design
of the arch or the materials used in your
construction have some impact on the
climate
we must take into account the following
during world war II
the architect worked for the office of
strategic services the forerunner of
The CIA is also documented that in
that time the army of the united states
investigated methods to control the
climate and use that knowledge as a weapon
the gateway arches in fact the
device to modify the weather if
is your secret purpose obviously
sariñena would have been chosen from the
principle for its relations with the eu
ss because they had all the information
about the Nikola Tesla studies
confiscated after the second war
on the control of the
electricity and climate modification
it is possible that they line up had
information and that could build
similar devices and had the
opportunity materials and design
appropriate
the arts gateway was built for
test the theory of this project
classified as top secret
probably not but it will be like that
would explain the remarkably large number
of security guards who monitor
this public monument
the area is monitored 24 hours a day
day
it's a federal monument and we
we watch our work and our
mission is to protect not only long and not
all the secrets that already contain
they watch the landscape silent sentinels
sculpted in stone george washington
thomas jefferson theodore roosevelt and
Abraham Lincoln
but what secrets they hide behind their
affable and benevolent expressions located
in kingston south dakota the mount
rushmore receives the visit of almost four
millions of people every year
but few of those who come to see this
monolithic monument know how and by
what was built this wonder of the
engineering and the ambitious plan devised
by cat zsombor bloom
the sculptor who created it
[Music]
the second generation American
children love for this country what
inspired his father was from Denmark a
Mormon missionary who waited ten years
to enter the country
so I appreciated everything American
mocking gaston was an amazing character
He was the most famous sculptor of his time
but he was very selfish he worried a lot
your reputation
what place would it occupy in history like this
who decided to do something great something
splendid that will last throughout
the centuries and his name was remembered
in 1923 borglum started making plans
for your most ambitious project up
then a relief of 27 meters high
of Confederate soldiers sculpted in the
slope of stone mountain in george shea
he even joined the local ku group
klux klan in an attempt to make sure
funding but after finishing
sculpt the head of the general reads
borglum had a confrontation with the
promoters of the monument destroyed everything
the work he had done left the clan
and left the project
luckily his idea had called the
attention of the historian of Dakota del
south
don rubén are that he shared with borglum
his idea of making a huge sculpture of
stone in one of the granite mountains
from the area of the black hills
the original idea was to make heroes of the
west but he wanted it to be something else
big and better times the story of the
country
so he suggested to the presidents of
1924 camped for a couple of weeks
in the area in search of the right mount and
when he saw the rushmore said this one after a
period of three years of collection
planning and preparation
the 60-year-old sculptor started the
work on October 4, 1927
helped by a team that came to
reach 400 people in these
domestic filming we can see to
Paul Bloom and his team converting
granite in a work of art
[Music]
the work shifts on the hillside were
of about 30 workers placed
around 700 stairs to the top
there were people dedicated to insuring
workers on the hillside workers
hanging on harnesses or scaffolding what
it was announced as a four project
years extended to 14 due
to problems of financing and evil
Time
in fact the almost spooky rejection of
the mountain to cooperate obliged
globe to make continuous changes in its

when we started recording to jefferson
formed a crack that ran through the
in front of the nose and lip and
course the sr
orwell one could leave it like that since
the day would come when it would harm the
nose so he decided to use more rocks the
background and less of the blogs tilting
read your head a little
Now the crack goes through
he saw it can be earned perfectly with
some binoculars
but despite the effort gadson borglum
I would not live to see his work finished on
March 6, 1941 days before his 74
birthday passed away due to complications
from a recent operation
Fortunately, the project passed into the hands of
of his son Lincoln who continued the work
from his father in the mountains during a
time it seemed that there was nothing
could stop the construction of the
most ambitious monument of states
united to the four presidents who
helped build the nation but at
final one threat from the other
side of the world to do the work for
always the last day of work was the
October 31, 1941 the day on which the
Rubén James was hit by submarines
German and six weeks later it was the
attack to pearl harbor
that was the end it's over
financing with the beginning of the
World War II, the
works in the bush rushmore hammers and
chisels were abandoned and the only thing
that was completed from the monumental
old sculpture are borglum were the
four faces that we all know today
[Music]
but it is believed or there was not much more in the
original design of the sculptor of what
can be seen in the current state of
monument plus much more and we can find
a track carefully examined the
hillside just below the
face of abraham lincoln the knuckles of
a hand what we see currently in the
Mount Rushmore is just a shadow
of the grandiose plan of his project was
much grander more fantastic and
they covered not only their heads also
their torsos here we see the original model
of bourbon for a mount rushmore even more
colossal but there is another secret that
literally hid behind the faces of
the presidents a small camera of
open stone on the northwestern face of the
mountain is all that remains of another
dream of bloom
maybe even bolder the camera
the files
the room of the archives in would relate
great terms the 150 years of
American history
the visitors would focus on the camera
to see the declaration of independence
and other important documents of the
history of the country
I thought to build a marble staircase
that reached the top behind the
faces but never finished just opened a
tunnel that goes 20 or 25 meters in
the mountain inside the tunnel is my
dark and you can still see the marks
what the miners did on the wall
end of the 30s
it looks like the entrance to one of the tombs
of the Valley of the Kings of Egypt produces
an extraordinary sense of bond
with history
but I had another purpose
secret to the design of the camera a
method that many might consider a
Madness?
the main concern of ballroom
was that future generations
will find mysteries the mount rushmore
in the same way that now we
puzzle the pyramids
I thought they would not understand who they were
those figures in their thinking of the future
millennium was coming forward I almost expected that
the aliens came to earth
to see his creation in 1998 over
fifty years after the death of
borglum horn the parks service
nationals placed a titanium box
with 16 enameled tablets near the
entrance of the unfinished camera of the
files is sealed with a tombstone of
granite and stands as a reminder
permanent of the great sculptor and his
impressive achievement
the tablets contain the story of
the presidents something of the history of
bloom the declaration of independence and
other important documents of the
foundation of the country
so the park service
national authorities culminated in a certain way the
idea of mark bloom surviving the
dangers of nature and the passage of
time Mount Rushmore rises like
legacy of vision talent and
willpower of a man
[Music]
rises from the ground like a fist
gigantic skyward a colossal
274-meter-high rock column
and whose name arouses fear and evilness
Devil's Tower Devil's Tower is
a spectacular rock formation all
the world wonders what it is and how it came
up there and who was making his name is
appropriate is a tower is an image
imposing in the surrounding landscape
you wonder how it was formed thinks that
it took a great force to create it
and wants to connect with that located force
northwest of wyoming the tower of
Devil was declared the first monument
national in 1906 by the president co2
roosevelt who wanted to protect this
mysterious and singular formation of the
excavations of mining companies and
the gold prospectors
many years later the devil's tower
reached even greater fame as a destiny of
the aliens in the movie of
spielberg of 1977 meetings in the
third phase in this movie
the tower is a place to which a lot
people are attracted thousands of
people from all over the country go there without
know why
[Music]
obviously the mountain remained
forever related to the phenomenon
UFO for having appeared in the movie
encounters in the third phase but to
examine the American Indian tradition
linked to this sacred site
it turns out that there are many stories
concerning people who climbed that mountain
and it was transformed they went to heaven it
they turned into god that they became
one with the gods really has the
tower of the devil some connection
extraterrestrial or supernatural
maybe we can find a clue in the
why the surveyor of the
Government
Colonel Richard Ong's gave the tower is
creepy name
[Music]
Colonel Dodge asked his
interpreter as the Indians called her and
he told her that they called her the mountain
of the evil god decided that it sounded good
but changed bad god for devil so
scored in his diary
the name of devil's tower
Devil is at least an interesting
mistranslation denotes negativity and
not from the word devil makes reference
to evil spirits and for us not
It was like that
on the contrary it was a place of strong
positive energy but neither the levels do not
we have devil there is no word
to designate it in our dictionary
in our language
the story of the devil's tower is
goes back to about 65 million years ago
the time of the dinosaurs
geologists believe that during this
period the volcanic activity gave rise
to the rock formation that we see today in
day there are two theories about
formation of the devil's tower and both
they are quite plausible is one of them
is that it was what we call a neck or
volcanic plug that is the rest of a
volcano in the senate and the tower would be the
volcano gorge
the other theory and also the most accepted
is what we call an inclusion of
ghonim plus the magma rose by the
chimney but as a team to go out to the
surface solidified and a
sedimentary rock in the course of
millions of years
the sedimentary rock was eroding
leaving the surface of the magma exposed
that never came to the surface
the first humans who felt
attracted by this strange formation
it was the Native Americans
for thousands of years tribes of places
as far as tiles or canada went
on a pilgrimage believing that the rock
he had sacred powers twenty one tribes
venerate oral tradition orders
each of them gives a name
option
mitch and ascribes a different origin
the predominant myth is related
with a group of women seven girls
they went to look for you to look for food and
they found a bear ran
trying to run away from him and they came to a
small hill met and prayed
asking for help when suddenly the
hill began to grow but becoming
bigger and wider
the bear did not give up in his effort and left the
mark its claws on the tower and that
can still be seen but in the end he left
the seven women were trapped in
high on the tower the gods
they took pity on them and uploaded it to
sky where you can see them in barren
just over the tower like seven o'clock
stars of the constellation of
Pleiades there are those who believe that history
of its origin is more than a myth and
shows that ancient cultures
American Indians possessed
advanced knowledge of astronomy
the story tells that the great spirit
elevated the seven sisters to
stars and formed the constellation of
the Pleiades the problem is that it makes
hundreds of years the seventh star does not
you could see if you only saw 6
a telescope was needed to see the
seventh so how could I know it was
speculates that the devil's tower be
an extraterrestrial contact point or the
indigenous tradition says that up there
you can contact the gods and that
they take people to heaven
which is precisely what the
UFO phenomenon of the 20th and 21st century
also the devil's tower has a
flat summit and it's like in meetings in
the third phase was believed that these
vagaries needed a surface
flat to land
it is a strong indicator that the
UFO phenomenon goes back thousands of years
and is an integral part of this landscape
SACRE
but what is the secret of the tower of
Devil could effectively be the clue
landing of a spaceship one
door to heaven
according to Native Americans and there were logos the
answer is a resounding yes
for the skeptics the real
nature of the devil's tower and its
origin could be a secret to

empire state building is more than a

the empire state represents new york
more than any other building is
beautiful and really stunning and has
something special
there are people who have it too
buildings and the empire state is one of
-The?
declared a national historic monument
in 1986 the empire state building
is considered one of the works of
most known art deco architecture of
united states but under its façade of
stone is hidden a secret that very
few New Yorkers had suspected
Never!
the empire state building the symbol
American wit trust
and prosperity was considered a
economic failure
it all started in 1928 when the
businessman and politician john j trait
presented an incredible idea to
governor of new york al schmitt
together they would build the tallest building
the world!
[Music]
scratch told the smith joseph of
finances and you from the city because we do not
we get into the construction business
in the 1920s
that meant building a skyscraper
when trait you started looking
architect his secret inspiration was the
simplest factor of your plan
the original design of the building what
inspired scratched put a pencil in vertical
and he said he can make it look like this
in fact if one moves away from the center of
manhattan and holds a pencil pointing
the sky will recognize this form after
[Music]
the architect william lamb was
hired to design the building in
the place occupied by the primitive hotel
waldorf astoria
but when they knocked down the building and
they started the excavations they found
the first of the amazing secrets
of the ambitious project the existence of
an underground river
probably the biggest secret of the
empire state is in the psuv
basement there is a river that runs under the
building and they had to build a
drawer around to protect it
[Music]
but water was not the only challenge to
that the owners of the
building they also had a tough
competition in another construction that
pretended to be the highest in the world
the chrysler building we could call it
the career of the titans there was a
authentic competition between the works of
42nd Street and the avenue
lexington for each new plant the
chrysler building were added from 5 to 10
in the empire state
it was a calculated risk and sometimes
dangerous
the old urban myth about the
skyscraper is that there was an average of
one victim per plant was not true
but the skyscraper works are
Engaged places full of dangers

nothing like it

today in san juan and in promoting the 1 of
May 1931 empire state building
opened its doors to an audience
enthusiastic raised in the great
Depression
the tallest building in the world had
Employed thousands of artisans and
construction workers
when the whole country is suffering
have something as extraordinary as
the construction of a skyscraper
it's uplifting
that's why it became a symbol not
only from new york but from the spirit
American but the vast majority of
New Yorkers did not know a secret
a great secret that had threatened the
future of the project
the empire state was in the middle of a
deep financial crisis and much
of the building remained empty and without
rent when the bag sank in
1929
the most serious effect for the economy
general empire state was the huge
competition from other buildings that
they went to the market at the same time more
of a dozen 50 skyscrapers
plants or more offered in spaces of
rent at competitive prices and
during its first decade of existence
two thirds of the building remained
empty from the 25th floor and up
80 there was practically nothing but for
the nights turned on the lights for
create the illusion that the building was going
well done
in a desperate attempt to secure
income and building status
highest in the world
the builders revealed another of their
secret plans a docking station
60 meters high to direct them
unfortunately the first and only test
what was done was a disaster
the zeppelin was destroyed by strong
winds and updrafts
the idea was discarded
if it had exploded like the borg gene in
links george new yersey imagine the
damage that would have caused
you have to keep in mind that an airship
average 300 meters long so
would have covered from 34th Street until
A4
if it had exploded in the middle of the
city would have rained game over the
buildings and passers-by causing
a catastrophe of the first magnitude
ironically despite the numerous
efforts on the part of the owners
of the empire state building
proud symbol of capitalism and the
Innovation was not profitable until 1950
when the economy of the nation is
recovered after the Second World War
although the building empire state kingdom
with the title of the highest in the world
until 1972 when it was surpassed by the
twin towers of the world trade center
other buildings have claimed the title
years later among them the tower

however the empire state will enjoy
forever its fame as a monument to
the genius and progress
built at a time when the
size does matter it seems a park

Governor's Island is the largest of the
New york bay islands many
they call it the best kept secret of
the city but it's a secret with a
terrible origin and cursed a secret that
led to the assassination of the president
abraham lincoln initially called in
ute naylamp by the explorers
Dutch in 1611 his name changed in
1699 when he became the first
political withdrawal of the country
the cant of the 17th century a governor
British decided to turn the island into
a holiday retreat for the
rulers of his majesty
hence the name of governor's island in
the first years of the struggle for
American independence
the strategic location of the island
eclipsed its country beauty in
February 1776 benjamin franklin
I wrote a letter about the importance
strategic of governor's island said
that in a single night
three hundred or four hundred men
they could prepare the land and place
cannons to attack ships
British after defeat in battle
from brooklyn
General George Washington used the island
as a secret retreat the only place where
he and an army of 9,000 men could
take refuge
Governor's Island had a dozen
of cannons that dissuaded the
British people go up the river and yes
keeping the george sections
washington and his troops in 1807 he
reinforced law forge and another was built
bastion on the island
cassel williams williams was the battery
he had 103 guns and he was fine
provisioned basically it was about
a force projection was like a
kind of fist willing to hit
anyone trying to enter the
bay without being invited so the
British decided not to enter the
new york bay during the war of
1812 for decades governor's island
served as the administrative post of
army of the united states but the
secession war would change its history
and according to some he cursed the island for
always
[Music]
the army of the union began to take
prisoners and they did not know what to do with
them since they still did not have a system
established so they decided
send them here
the commander of the post was upset
and disgusted by the problem he had
to face is one morning
they said that 100 prisoners would arrive and
they dropped 600 from the boat so they were
locked in the fort that in that
era was only used to raise pigs the
life in prison
offered little relief from the dangers of
the war the soldiers captured and
sent here they found a
house of horrors soldiers
imprisoned confederates lived in
terrible impossible conditions
describe governor's island was for
they practically a hell in the
land
the officers lived up to 10 in a
There were no tables or chairs

it was dark and damp it was very cold
and the conditions of the soldiers were
much worse
they were huddled inside the house the
Williams sometimes there were up to 700
men and the unfortunate soldiers
Confederates that did not die of illness
they were facing a war council
that he only had two exits the death in
the gallows or before the peloton
execution the sale left forte jay
touching the march of death followed
of a prisoner in case of execution
they were driving him to the beach that is by the
side of the hudson river and there they shot him
one of the executed prisoners whose
ghost is believed to still roam the island
it was john weitz bell corsair and
supporter of the Confederate cause
john james bell was a spy and
saboteur who worked for the army
Confederate during the war of
secession and was arrested in 1864 by
try to derail a train that I was wearing
Confederate prisoners of war
He was finally captured in December
1864 in Miami New York and moved to
governor's island
General John Dix in whose name
baptized the strong tics summoned a
special war council level was
pleaded guilty
tell the legend that I wish book appealed
personally abraham lincoln so that
will save the life of bell and the president
he agreed to forgive him
but he withdrew his word when his
secretary of state william suar
former senator from the state of new york
demanded its execution on February 24,
1865 john bell was in the words of the
order to execute it hung by the
neck until his death when he was
executed with wings wood it felt so
outraged that he planned the murder of
president line the vice president
andrew johnson chats the general ulises
that big chaco and the secretary of state

unfortunately we all know the end
of history.
the night of Friday, April 14, 1865
abraham lincoln was shot and died
the next day
although there is a possibility that bush
will not initiate a personal revenge against
the leaders of the American government
for what happened in governors island
the existing connection
it was john bell executed unjustly
he unleashed his death the murder of
president of the united states and changed
forever the course of its history and
can this dark page of the book of
the secrets explain why an island
in perfect appearance located just
450 meters of new york has remained
strangely uninhabited and without

the island
really damn gigantic monoliths
stone rock and steel constructions
that defy gravity
they baffle me to science places
that honor the dead and in those who
they refuse to rest
the monuments of united states are a
testimony of the singular and extraordinary
link that exists between humanity its
history and the natural world
we appreciate them we visited them and the
we explore but more protected than
own monuments are their secrets
secrets that can astonish comfort and
adjust secrets that have remained
hidden so far
