I know Jon Levi makes regular videos on this but have you ever stopped and considered just, how bizarre it is that the structures you see in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair were claimed to be temporary?

Why did American “Robber Barons”, with some exceptions, never build country manor houses on the scale of those in Europe, despite at some points holding more wealth than the European aristocracy?

We’re told all of The USA portion of North America never held structures on the scale of those found in Mexico, Central and South America, never had indigenous people who built on the Aztec scale. We only have some pyramid-esque mounds on the Upper Mississippi?

With hundreds of tribes here, none would have had abilities to build, similar to the Aztecs?

Do you find this odd? I do.

I’m not mocking indigenous people of The US region of North America because the European American scale is the same.

Mount Vernon is a beautiful house but again, the scale is such a contrast, even at our untaxed wealth explosion period. “Biltmore” and Hearst Castle are the only ones that come close. Even the Newport “Cottages” are not on the European scale:

Do you think that its that they didnt, or that they did but the structures have either been destroyed or withheld from knowledge? Like possibly in remote places that are classified air space? (I dont have any evidence of this, im just pondering)

The Anasazi tribe tribe built some cool structures, although they dont have that pyramid look to them. Then they mysteriously disappeared.

the Anasazi civilization emerged sometime around 100 A.D. It was based in the Four Corners region of the modern United States, with lands in today's Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. The Anasazi civilization lasted for centuries. Sometime around 500-750 A.D., the Anasazi transitioned from hunting and gathering to an agriculture-based society, and adopted a sedentary lifestyle. Following this, the Anasazi built more advanced stone buildings, including some sprawling structures with up to 1,000 rooms, per Britannica. Some Anasazi dwellings were built directly into cliff walls and canyons. By the 1200s A.D., the Anasazi had developed a complex social structure, large cities, irrigation systems, and more. They're also well known for their beautiful basket work amd pottery.

Gigantic stone buildings might look fancy but to live in some giant palace or castle can be a frostbite in the ass.Good luck in trying to get some warmth in there during winter time.

North American indian tribes werre largely nomadic and nomadic people usually dont build cities or much anything else.Whenever the buffalo herd decided to move on so did the tribe that lived close to it.
Just like Mongol empire for quite a while was one of the worlds largest in its size yet they never bothered to build anything significant.Only conquered what others had built.

This one still stands - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Plaisance

America was on its height pretty much at that time period. There was abundance of everything - empty land,resources,working hands etc .Everywhere was rapid development going on -massive amounts of railroads were built into places that were hard to reach before so all kinds of resources could be moved around easily.Pretty much everything was booming,America was being built and alot of wealth was being created.Carnegie,Rockefeller,Jp Morgan,Vanderbilt and all those other billionair crooks climbed to the top around that era .They largely financed the Chicago fair and they had all the money in the world to throw at it.Rich people do like to show off.
Hoover dam,Empire state building etc show that americans aint lacking organizational and logistical skills to build some massive stuff in rather short period.

does anyone have any sources of 17th or 18th c. literature/letters/etc. from early american colonists describing these structures that were already present in north america?

lewis and clark described the strange forts along the mississippi, but in their journals, nothing was said about preexisting tartarian buildings.

It’s odd . They did a few resets already here to eliminate the previous civilization and fed us narratives that work in their benefit.
