The most important building (of those I found), in my opinion. Such buildings clearly indicate that ancient classical architecture is also present in inner-continental China. In time, this building may be demolished (and how many have been?). And the next generations will have a hard time proving the existence of a past single civilization.
More photos (buildings that may have been built on old foundations; in fact, there are more such buildings, I have only saved the most characteristic ones).
Today I looked at baidu panoramas of the city of Chengdu.
Looking through Chinese cities, one gets the feeling that Western props (to avoid getting caught up in them, I don't look at the most central parts of cities, which lengthens the search for buildings of interest to me; in my opinion, the props are easy to distinguish from real antique architecture) were built so that foreigners (especially those people who are not interested in history, that is the majority) would not notice that there is quite a lot of "Western" or "antique" architecture preserved in China (I am not even talking about the structural grid of the central parts of many Chinese cities). In maritime China, more. In inland China, less. Perhaps due to the fact that the cataclysm hit the territory of inland China more.
Plus we have to take into account that a lot has been demolished or rebuilt in China for 100 years. Add to that the fact that China is a fairly closed country and has a complicated writing for the average person of European culture. So we can only guess how much has been erased from the real history of the area where China is today. How much do we know about notional Turkestan or Manchuria?
In my opinion, the world's globalist elite (or part of it) is moving (or has already moved) to China. They are restoring ancient cities and industries (or building new ones in their place). At the same time, the globalists are capable of building production from scratch (if there is such a need).
Once upon a time, we saw something like this in the United States. Perhaps this explains China's economic growth (Chinese "communism" is just a cover).
Since the city is big, there were more old photos.
This bridge reminded me of that (vk rus). And Arnold Böcklin refers us to this article (rus).
Today I reviewed Xiamen. To my mind, the historical part of the city looks like a rebuilt (or superstructured) ancient city. If you take away the hieroglyphics and other Chinese superficial specifics, the city is very similar to some South American and some European cities. The city is a maritime city, so the ancient architecture can officially be explained by Western influences.
Luzhou ( 瀘州) is next. In the city you can find both ancient architecture and replicas (according to my feeling, they are built on the foundations of similar buildings). There is a triumphal arch, a Bell tower (in the typical conventional "European" style), and a pagoda. There are buildings with domes. There are bridges, which are made (at least their supports) in antique style.
There is an area, which outline resembles a fortress-half-star. A steep rampart is preserved in some areas.
Plus, as always (in the case of large cities in China), the presence of fortress walls and supporting blocks in large urban areas.
One point I found curious. On one of the pedestals instead of an obelisk (which would look logical on a pedestal) is a power line. The presence of the obelisks is explained by the memory of the war with Japan.
Last night, I spent all night watching videos about Fort Benteng Pendem Cilacap in Indonesia. The word "Pendem" translates as burial, grave, underground. So, this structure can be attributed to this theme as well.
As always (when it comes to antique buildings), the building has no clear history. Again we see a building on an old base. This time it was not built by the Incas, but by an Indonesian monarch (see the variation?). Allegedly the fort was built by the Dutch in 1861(!) over an old local fort from the beginning of the 19th century. On one of the sites (bah), they even cite the similar Fort Rheinauwen (ned), which is not far from Utrecht. Is this not conclusive proof of the Dutch footprint? After all, nowhere else in the world are similar structures found. Standard manipulative method.
When I typed Fort Rheinauwen into the image search, Yandex also gave me Fort Pospelov (rus) in Vladivostok. It's funny, because looking at the Indonesian fort, the building on Alleutskaya 39 in Vladivostok came to my mind. Coincidences happen (actually, it's intuitive thinking; The Six Thatchers and The Final Problem series in Sherlock reveal very well what intuition is).
As you understand, not all forts were built by the Dutch. I am not even talking about the fact that in most cases it is impossible to establish who really built these forts.
I hope you know what I mean. If we have a database (not only photos and text, but also video evidence from the field) of similar structures around the world (without false historical references, but with a focus on systematization by architectural elements), we could build a theory of a stolen (from history) united civilization. The main thing is that such a theory should not fall into the wrong hands (read, into the hands of modern globalists, but there are other forces) who will remake it for themselves.
There are a huge number of videos of various formats of the Benteng Pendem Cilacap fort on YouTube. The most informative videos (in terms of visuals, in my opinion):
Overview of the complex.
The guy shows the flooded underground gallery.
Interestingly, there is an oil refinery next to the fort. This is by the way, about the alleged (one of many) purpose of the "fort".
There is also the Fort Benteng Pendem Ambarawa (Fort Willem I) and the Fort Van der Wijck (ned) in Indonesia (there are a lot more of them). These forts are often confused in search results.
Initially, I was looking for Jakarta (Batavia) dungeons. But I found very little (other) information, which is not confirmed by more or less reliable photo and video evidence. The main message of the articles is that there are tunnels (or a network of tunnels) under Jakarta that were left behind by the Dutch (as we read earlier, the Dutch may not have built structures from scratch).
Shaoguan (韶关). If you read the articles on Wikipedia (in any language) and Baidu regarding the history of the city, you will not find any global traces of Europeans (who can be attributed the construction of buildings in the ancient style). From what I found is a mention in the Spanish Wikipedia that in the 16th century, Matteo Ricci may have lived here for several years.
A distinctive feature of the historical references that refer to the city is that entire centuries (e.g., between 1800± and 1900±) disappear from them (apart from the streamlined wording). If one believes such articles, one gets the impression that there were no Opium Wars (the city is in the province of Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong).
As is often the case in many parts of the world, there is a unique dynasty (monarchy, civilization, etc.). For example, not far from the city there is such a historic overpass (Mei Pass) of unknown year of construction.
If you've seen something like this in other parts of the world, it's possible that similar structures were built by the Chinese. After all, we can not even assume that previously there was a united civilization.
And the current nations (or rather, the real rulers of these nations) have only privatized the remnants and parts (architectural, cultural, linguistic) of this civilization. They added all sorts of flavor (or wrote it all off to the colonizers, etc.). And voila. The history of various nations and civilizations is ready.
Just do not pay attention to the fact that all over the world there are similar ancient standards in the construction of buildings.
Since, in our time, it has become possible to identify all these contradictions in world history, then in the near future we (with a very high probability) are waiting for a global war, to quietly rewrite history under its rumble. Considering that most of the youth today does not perceive the information longer than 2-3 minutes (preferably in video format) it will not be difficult to pull such a trick.
It is unlikely that moral constraints will stop those who have already rewritten history thanks to the World Wars.
The closer the moment of this war is approaching, the stronger the censorship will become, so it is necessary to catch the moment.
In the city there are the remains of ancient buildings, as well as their replicas (not butophoria), built (according to my logic) on the old foundations.
It is my observation that much of modern China has suffered from some significant phenomenon in the past. After that, in many cities only the wall or columnar bases of buildings survived.
Note that the leak at the wall (in the first photo) coincides with a possible arched window opening, which was bricked up and plastered over. On replicas of antique buildings, the brick looks like an old sanded brick.
In baidu you can find some old photos that show the characteristic features of ancient buildings. Columns, arched window openings, arched gates. I couldn't find better quality old photos.
But even these photos show that if you take away all the Chinese specifics (which acts only as a facade), these houses can be mentally transported to Latin America.
The arch in the first photo was demolished during the widening of the street.
The arch in the third photo is, in my opinion, a remodel (on an old base) of the first half of the 20th century.
The most important building (of those I found), in my opinion. Such buildings clearly indicate that ancient classical architecture is also present in inner-continental China. In time, this building may be demolished (and how many have been?). And the next generations will have a hard time proving the existence of a past single civilization.
