There might have been a real Antigoon. Real Atigonid soldier, descendant of Alexander the great. Druon Antigoon the Antwerp Giant, or how they think he looked like.

I ran into this really odd thing: CAN WE IDENTIFY THESE PEOPLE? (1911) – The Brownstone Detectives These are random people in a car filmed by a swedish company who has this old film not on their list. These people are alegged Poles who happend to film there and he turned out to become a...

According to my vague translation these are fresh watersaving bassins: Book in latin I have no Idea what they talk about. According to my translation it means "in order of/ assingned by Ame-rica" but it does shine a new light on America Costa Rica (rich coast) Ame Rica? (Beloved rich?) A mer...

Thanks for all the tips but i'm only having a phone now due to several reasons. That was a black rock somewhere in that canal or lake they exploded with dynamite in the 1820's That was all the info i could find.

I am not allowed to read it because I am not on American soil. It happens more often. I did notice a few strange things. On the site of this alleged exposition there was around 1885 a "parade" ? and a driving park? What were they driving?? Uninvented cars? Why did they name the city center...

Maybe these are the same people: Peter the great's findings of Scythian gold and artifacts in Siberia Map.

Indeed. I came across The same name but now being a buddhist site in India, suddenly found in 1870's something with the birth of Buddha from his mother Maya (!) Well, what has that to do with this well? Because the whole Yemen Area is filled with both Egyptian and biblical stories about for...

The first thing I think: not again Seven. - Antwerp, the Giant was beaten by Bravo and the Seven Schaken (* that is best translated as seven chess pawns and they were seven young boys) - north Amerika was called septentrional (something with Seven) or names like this because they now translate...

Was Buffalo a swamp before? Because then this is a strange way of construction with "different" (old looking) stones underneath the "new" stone building; digging a 'basket' and make a stone basis is more for sandy soil. We learned from the Antwerp buried wall that they built walls as deep as 7...

I found out that Arnhem has a Moscova cemitary. Why? With all nobles buried? Arnhem was a Hanze city (trading with Russia and Germany) I found out that alleged Napoleon and Hitler and allied English bombings all were after the Hanze and trading cities of Holland to destroy. The year 1876...

This striked me when I went to a remote so-called backwards area in Slovakia (the farmer area behind Giraltovce) and these people were able to tell me more knowledge about everything. They already told me back then (15 years ago) "your country (Holland) is not free. I recognise the path; you...

Well they used the same photo's as the above website only some additional text. Like that they will integrate some of the wall into an underground parking, that the wall had been renovated many times with different bricks or re-used , that they used mostly lime mortar, that it was gradually...

If you are still interested in my opinion; this is a long read in Dutch about the Giant of Antwerpen which is a very known story. Somewhere in the story they replaced Reus (dutch for Giant) wit Rus (Russian) and that made me think. I totally don't understand why they bury this wall. Normally...

Then I wish you good luck about this specific building to find out. I spent half a day connecting dots because it is not just one building on some Buffalo site, it is my missing history too.

I understand. But we can all rub our chins like: hm hm something perculiar about this building 🤔 In Holland it is quite 'normal' to ask when you pass by, make a small talk like "hey is see you renovate the building, how is it going?" And then the answer might be "o, hell of a job, we found a 2...

Lol, I thought, let's take a Google streetmap trip first, and the first building I see is a former medical kind of center ( Metholatum ) with a "parking garage" under it... I noticed that these buildings are close by a suspicious island and a previous harbour . And also, look at those pier...

That bridge 😍 It is indeed a different canal but still a superior piece of construction. But I found almost similar "news" about the tunnel, almost: Do notice the usage of the words: "... powers of ancient practice..." " ...to dispute the triumphs of the present..." Almost like an...

Yes that funiculare is really like... Oh. A bunch of dirt, hmmm let's make this easy. Is your tunnel the same as this one? Scroll down for the text. It is hard to read in translated French.

According to the construction of the new tunnel I found this. Georges Lacroix, the man who sank the tunnel of the Old Port I am not so convinced that Louis xxvv -the maniest built this fort around 1550 and then they demolished it because "it frightend the people" (?) and Napoleon built a...

I don't know anymore, these 16th century map drawers were pretty confused and were still using ancient Greek names too. Very outdated. Do I see "Ordessna" on this map?
