Speaker 0: We have just exposed that the United States National Archives, NARA's cartographic branch, is missing the documents, the blueprints and the rest, to hundreds of federally funded structures, and the records are completely missing. Speaker 1: NARA gave us the master list, granting behind-the-scenes access to their internal documentation and the official records of the US government's construction records. The master list shows every single federally held architectural record, including whether they have the original blueprints, construction drawings, ledgers, and documentation for buildings funded, commissioned, or maintained by the US government. Out of 21,400 structures in the master list, the new custom house in New Orleans, built in 1849, appears; there were reportedly two earlier ones—the first customs house designed in 1809 and replaced around 1819. Around 1819, they say, this worked for decades. Speaker 0: Can you Speaker 1: believe this? This is the mainstream narrative for you. Around 1819. That doesn’t work anymore. They try to tell us all about the thirteen hundreds, but they can't figure out what happened in the eighteenth hundreds from a supposed federally funded project. I’ve had enough of their stories. And then a third structure arrives on the scene. It’s a palace—the current US customs house in New Orleans—which the master list identifies as one of the oldest and most important federally funded buildings, a major work of architecture commissioned by the US federal government in the 1800s. This is a granite building with a grand marble hall. Yet the National Archives holds zero documents on its construction—zero. Not one document. This is 1849. This is not 1492. This is only, like, four or five people ago. Only 177 years. And the Marble Hall, a Greek revival style room, is described in that master list as a centerpiece, yet the National Archives does not hold a single construction document. Let’s go further. A federally commissioned building tied to record group 77, the US Army Corps of Engineers, falls under strict federal record-keeping laws requiring preservation of original blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, inspection reports, and construction ledgers. The master list classifies it under CWMF (centralized waterway management file) and consolidated file 35, signaling that detailed blueprints and primary documentation are missing or no longer exist as standalone records. All of this proves that the documentation was expected to exist, yet there is not a single original construction record. This undermines their claim that the structure was actually constructed in 1849 as described. Zero documentation. No ledgers, no blueprints, no logs. Where are these receipts to their story? Remember from episode 160, NARA told us that if it is missing from the master list, they do not have it in their holdings. NARA is the legal custodian of all permanent federal records; permanent records are required to be preserved in NARA holdings. If the records are not within the master list, they were destroyed, never transferred, misplaced, or never existed. And that last option would make verification of construction history impossible. I’ve begun asking for FOIAs. I sent one on 12/01/2025 for the Alexander Hamilton US Custom House at 1 Bowling Green, New York. They have twenty business days under FOIA law to reply after status received; they’ve responded, and I’ll keep you updated. This structure was not within the master list, so it is publicly funded. We’re just getting started today. Welcome to episode 162 of my lunch break. If you’re new, welcome. Thanks to sponsors on Patreon. The master list is provided, and the episode can be purchased with a USB containing the master list. The list shows that in New York, New York, the master list contains only nine structures in its catalog at the National Archives, which is insane given New York’s hundreds of federally funded buildings. We have exposed that NARA’s cartographic branch is missing documents, blueprints, and the rest for hundreds of federally funded structures, to the point that they don’t even name the buildings in the master list. This is a massive exposure. Why hasn’t any mainstream scholar challenged these narratives? A systematic documentation failure is suggested: not having the Alexander Custom House listed, and other structures like Federal Hall, Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, and James A. Farley Post Office are also not on the master list. Nothing from these structures has survived, or, as I believe, they never existed. We’ve shown emails where archivists need to reconsider their job. There is something massive going on, and the history we’re told is unverified. The master list goes back to 1705 (Fort Plans in Costco Bay, Maine). The first thing we find is a fortress in the middle of the water with no documentation proving construction in 1705. A map from 1720 shows an old world palace off the coast of Maine, contradicting the notion that materials could be shipped a mile offshore in the 1700s. The master list may reveal incredible structures in North America as we continue from the bottom up.

Laser technology constructed the elaborate buildings of the past. It's impossible that they were carved with simple tools or built without advanced electrical machines. The intricate detail shows how advanced the human mind was during those ancient periods. What we've been told as history doesn't align with the evidence before our very eyes. That's because history is "his story."

There's a massive pyramid site in the USA, covered by dirt and grass, that would shatter the mainstream narrative if exposed. Construction on the Monk's Pyramid supposedly began around 1123 AD, on a site already occupied by buildings. Meanwhile, in Italy, Saint Mark's Basilica was being built. The Mississippian culture couldn't have built massive pyramids and lived in huts. These pyramids and basilicas were built around the same time, but after 1900, we supposedly lost the ability to construct similar structures. This suggests a reset and a fabricated timeline. Botanical remains suggest the pyramid was built faster than believed. The mainstream narrative can't explain these structures, so a previous, advanced civilization is a more logical explanation. When Thomas I. Ramey bought the site in 1864, a tunnel was found. In 1970, scraping away topsoil revealed temple outlines just two feet down. The structure is stone, not clay, and the previous civilization's work is hidden.

We're back from our boots-on-the-ground adventures in DeKalb, Pasadena, Detroit, and Champaign, and it's time to revisit Star Forts. Today, we're exposing mainstream Chicago, something hidden in plain sight. They claim Fortaleza De Sao Jose De Macapa was occupied by an army from the "old world," a slip-up that hints at a previous civilization. They tell us slaves built these Star Forts. It doesn't add up. These forts, found worldwide, share identical designs, suggesting a global communication network in the 1600s and 1700s that they don't want you to know about. Take Chicago's First Baptist Church. They say it was built in a year, right before the Chicago fire. The cornerstone was laid in 1865 and finished in 1866. It's a lie to cover up another old-world building. After the fire, they just built another one. It's time to expose this narrative.

The video presents a pattern-seeking investigation into supposedly out-of-place American buildings, arguing that many structures act as hidden narratives constructed by a group or by AI, with patterns revealing a deeper history that predates mainstream accounts. The host claims that these palatial-looking buildings, often associated with fires and rapid rebuilds, were not built by the widely taught historical timeline but by a more advanced group, and that the real past involved a much longer process of construction across the country. In Mansfield, Ohio, at 60 South Mulberry Street, Saint Peter’s Church is used as an example. The host notes that the first Catholic mass was celebrated in 1850, the parish built its first church in 1870 (in a former Methodist church) and that this church burned down nineteen years later. The narrative then shifts to a pattern: a “palace-like” structure across the street, built with no visible construction details, followed by another building as the parish grows, and a statement that the current structure’s cornerstone was laid on 05/14/1911, with delays attributed to World War I. The host emphasizes that during World War I, millions of U.S. men were drafted or volunteered, yet the building was completed in six years, implying an improbable timeline and suggesting that “fire narratives” accompany such buildings to reset or rewrite history. The presenter scrutinizes the architect attributed to many of these projects, William P. Ginther, arguing that Ginther’s career begins with a comic Valentine that supposedly led to his hiring, a narrative the host calls ridiculous. Ginther is further linked to numerous “palace-like” structures: 45 churches in Ohio, 18 in other states, 10 residences, 28 schools, eight academies, and three hospitals. Specific examples cited include the Basilica of Saint Andrew in Virginia and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Pittsburgh. The host contrasts old-world, castle-like appearances with modern façades, asserting a dramatic stylistic upgrade and accusing the builders of hiding the true past. The host then examines the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Pittsburgh, noting a 1905 completion while the corresponding church site claims construction or preexisting status under different dates. The narrative asserts that cornerstones were opened or altered (e.g., a 2002 blessing and rededication at Saint Bernard’s Church in Ohio), with insinuations that interior materials or inscriptions were removed. This leads to a broader claim that many cornerstones have been altered or opened over time, fueling ongoing mystery about what lies inside. Further examples include Saint Columb Cathedral, Saint Michael’s Church in Ohio, Saint Anne Catholic Church in Erie, and references to orphanages and asylums in Cleveland, all tied to the Ginther narrative. The host presents a provocative conclusion: between 1902 and 1907, Ginther allegedly constructed 50 palace-like structures in five years, a claim the video challenges by asking viewers to consider whether such prolific production is plausible and to question the official history. Throughout, the speaker asserts that the mainstream history is compromised by repeated fire and demolition narratives, that buildings “hold a much different past than what we are told,” and that the public should “go and see these sites for yourself” to understand what they allege are widespread distortions in historical accounts.

Speaker 0: The Cathedral Of All Saints, Big Ben, the Field Museum, Philadelphia City Hall, the New York Public Library, and the Emmanuel Church in LaGrange, Illinois all share a massive issue: they do not have the original blueprints. Proving that they actually constructed these structures, when they say they did, and we have exposed this right here on this channel. We know that their narratives are all the same, which I believe are all generated by the AI. There’s never an author to any of these mainstream stories. It doesn’t matter which country the building is in. They’re all the same. They’re all constructed in a year. And then there’s a mysterious fire that burned down the original one, replaced by a guy with zero training, and then he never builds anything ever again in his entire life. And they don’t have the blueprints even though these buildings were publicly funded, paid for by the taxpayer, yet they say only the staff can see them. To this point, we have not received a single blueprint, and we have changed archivist minds as to how they should look at their job moving forward. This is no longer a theory. Within the last 10 episodes, we have taken this research to a whole new level of exposure. A full audit is taking place live. For everybody in the world to see, they’re caught off guard. They wanna know which institution we work for. They don’t like this because the story that they have worked so hard for years to believe is being dismantled in seconds by the people that want the truth, all of us. We want the blueprints. We want the ledgers. We wanna know how much water the donkeys were drinking while hauling thousands of pounds of stone to the site. We wanna know which stores they were buying all their chisels from. We want the records. We want the verification to their story, and the FOIA requests are a brand new weapon for us. We are forcing governments to respond legally, and to this point, they are failing horribly. The timeline that we all live in is completely fake, and we are just getting started. When we contacted the National Archives and Records Administration, nara.gov, we want the blueprints to the Federal Hall in New York City, so I formally requested the original construction documentation for the Federal Hall or the US Custom House that was supposedly completed in 1842 under the US Treasury Department. I want to know if the National Archives holds or has ever held any of the following materials related to its design or construction: the original blueprints or engineering drawings, specifications, ledgers, inspection reports, and the rest. I also put in there because we all know the rules now, and we’re cornering them very quickly. NARA replied back: we searched the cartographic branch’s architecture master list and, unfortunately, did not find any records that appear to be responsive to your request. A master list from the National Archives? They found three drawings from the US Custom House in New York City. However, these are dated nineteen o five, which is sixty-three years after the thing was done. So we all know that those don’t count at all. We did not locate any other reference to the US Custom House in New York City during our search and then gave us a massive finding aid for all of our reference. Do they know who they just gave the master list to? I have to say, I don’t think that that was a good idea for the mainstream narrative. The master list is the internal index of all architectural records held by the National Archives. If a federally funded building ever had blueprints, they would be cataloged in this master list. This is huge. The master list includes every federated architectural record created by, submitted to, transferred to, or preserved by any federal agency. If the federal government commissioned a building, paid for a building, inspected a building, or even maintained a building, then under federal law, the architectural records need to be preserved, and they would be within this master list. And they have admitted to us that the Federal Hall has zero documentation inside this master list, meaning that the federal government is implicitly admitting they have zero verifiable proof that they ever constructed the structure in 1842 or at any point for that matter.

We can see that it shows the date of construction, the city, and the building’s name. So we type in the US Custom House, and we can see that there’s 170 of them inside this master file. We scroll down to the one in New York City to confirm what this individual is telling us. And as you can see, we’ll be able to pin these institutions down, telling them that there are zero documents regarding their building inside the master list right out of the gate. Here it is: Confirmation, the US Custom House, New York City, the only documents they have, three of them from nineteen o five, exactly like they said, a consolidated file with no location. So do they even have these three pages from nineteen o five? And then I had a crazy idea, an idea that I should maybe type in the US Capitol Building. What files do the federal government have on this palace that was supposedly constructed without a power tool in just seven years from 1793 to 1800, the beginning of our timeline in my opinion. So why is it, when I type in The US Capitol Building into the master list, that the only construction documents that the federal government has on their own structure is from 1935, a hundred and thirty-five years after it was supposedly constructed? A consolidated file with 10 pages of documents. There are sketches. There are no records. A moment that everybody in the world right now watching is gonna see that the mainstream history is exposed. This is a horrible mistake, I’m gonna be honest with you, to give me this master list. I cannot believe we have this. We no longer need them to confirm anything. We have their log. We have their records, and we know what they don’t have. The nation’s capital. It’s blueprints from the seventeen ninety three to eighteen hundreds construction project. Those blueprints, the ledgers, they’re gone. I told you we were just getting started. New York Public Library update: they claimed only staff could see the blueprints, then said originals are only available to staff because they’re fragile, then said they’re not processed or conserved yet. They’re not available to the public. I replied that since originals aren’t available to researchers, I won’t share my report. If the originals ever show up, we can revisit this. The New York Public Library is clearly lying and contradicting themselves. Stop emailing me.

A narrator from the YouTube channel My Lunch Break recounts a growing investigation into whether widely publicized historic buildings actually have the original blueprints, ledgers, and construction documentation to back up the established narratives. The core claim repeated across episodes is that many famous structures—such as the Cathedral of All Saints, Big Ben, the Field Museum, Philadelphia City Hall, the New York Public Library, and Emmanuel Church in LaGrange, Illinois—were built without verifiable original blueprints. The channel asserts that these buildings share a pattern: they were allegedly constructed in a short period, followed by a fire that destroyed the original structure, and were replaced by a builder with no formal training who never built again. The channel stresses that the public-funded projects supposedly had blueprints, yet “they don’t have the blueprints even though these buildings were publicly funded, paid for by the taxpayer, yet they say only the staff can see them.” The investigation moves from rumor to methodical inquiry. The channel describes conducting formal FOIA requests and opening a “brand new weapon” for information: FOIA requests to obtain blueprints, ledgers, and construction records. A focal point is the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The host states that they formally requested the original construction documentation for the Federal Hall/US Custom House in New York City (1842, under the US Treasury Department) and asked for the original blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, ledgers, and inspection reports. NARA responded, saying they found three drawings from 1905—dated 63 years after the supposed construction—within the cartographic branch’s architecture master list, and that no other responsive records appeared to be present. The host emphasizes that the architectural records master list would, in principle, contain documentation for any federally funded building, including construction records, blueprints, and related documentation. They argue that the master list shows zero documentation for Federal Hall in New York City, which, in their view, implies a lack of verifiable proof that the building was constructed in 1842 or at any point. They claim this pattern extends to other federal buildings, including the U.S. Capitol Building, where the only construction documents accessible through the master list are from 1935—decades after construction began—and consist of approximately 10 pages of sketches, not architectural drawings, structural calculations, or construction records. The host insists this does not constitute construction documentation and claims it undermines mainstream historical narratives. The channel then discusses the New York Public Library, repeating that staff-only access to blueprints was claimed, followed by a contradiction that the originals were not yet processed or conserved, with researchers allegedly denied access. The host asserts that the library’s statements contradict themselves and argues that the institution is hiding the absence of construction records. The host also recounts a separate exchange with the Utah State Archives regarding the Salt Lake City and County Building—allegedly built between 1891 and 1894—where the archivist provided a 2017 restoration records list rather than the original 1891–1894 construction documents. The host reports ongoing exchanges in which the archives admit they do not hold complete architectural blueprint sets, structural calculations, foundation drawings, or detailed construction ledgers for the original construction period, and asserts this as evidence that the traditional timeline may be incorrect. Across these threads, the host calls for verification of construction records and questions the reality of the conventional historical sequence. They point to a recurring pattern: many monumental palaces and city halls worldwide, built in the 18th or 19th centuries, lack accessible documentation in authoritative archives, leading to the assertion that the standard historical narratives may be built on incomplete or missing primary sources. The overarching theme is a demand to identify the actual builders and to uncover the true record of these structures, challenging the accepted timeline and methods of construction.

Speaker 1 and colleagues discuss Chicago’s underground tunnel systems and connect them to a broader pattern they claim appears in many cities. They assert that Chicago Public Library archives describe thousands of miles of underground structures beneath the city, far more extensive than the public narrative suggests. They claim the first major tunnel project ran under Lake Michigan to a water intake between 1864 and 1866, “twenty nine years before the invention of the power tool,” and that Chicago continued excavating vast tunnel networks, with tracks laid on tunnel floors and rails used for moving cable spools. They say these tunnels connect to major buildings, including City Hall, and that the tunnels predate the public stories about when each building was constructed or connected. Speaker 1 says they located someone who has recently been inside the tunnel systems and will share details, including photographs showing a railway on the tunnel floor that supposedly dates to pre-1906. They claim the tunnel network runs throughout the city and links to numerous buildings, including City Hall, the Field Museum, and the Palmer House, and that these networks extend to other cities worldwide (as discussed in earlier episodes). They reference a long-standing narrative about the Chicago Tunnel Company and its supposed role in laying rails and moving cables, while noting that the city initially refused to let cables be brought in via manholes. They claim plans were altered to include rails for hauling cable spools, and they interpret these actions as evidence that the tunnels were not originally built solely for telephone cables. They describe a “previous civilization” as having built these networks, leaving “thousands of miles of underground structures” beneath Chicago. The discussion moves to specific events and dates: 1899, when the city granted rights to construct utility tunnels under Chicago streets; 1910 and 1911 map references showing only 60 miles on public maps; and 1992 Chicago flood, which occurred after a breach in the tunnel system near the Chicago River, involving a contractor’s disturbance of clay around a freight tunnel. They question whether the flood was an accident or a deliberate act to destroy past works. They also reference the 2001 security concerns and the closing off of old tunnel access to the public. Speaker 2 introduces NAD/NMN discussions about sirtuins and metabolic precursors, including NMN and its role in mitochondrial function and energy production, tying this to performance and resilience programs with military applications. They mention David Sinclair and Gary Brecha, noting NMN’s purported effects on aging and cellular energy, and they connect these ideas to how some people interpret aging and energy decline. Speaker 1 pushes the idea that these tunnels and underground structures are not merely for mail or utilities but are part of a hidden, interconnected underground real estate. They argue that the tunnels connect to many private and public buildings and that the public narrative ignores these connections. They present a 1929 Chicago Tunnel Network map as proof and claim it shows connections to old-world buildings that construction narratives do not account for. They insist the map demonstrates that tunnels predated roads and were not built solely for postal service; instead, they were selectively connected to specific, publicly funded buildings (e.g., City Hall, the Palace, and other major structures). They critique the historical record by pointing to seemingly inconsistent claims about the age and construction of Chicago’s tallest buildings and their connection to tunnel networks. They question Alfred B. Mullet’s role as an architect, suggesting the narrative around him may be AI-generated or deliberately misleading, and they cast doubt on the attribution of several major buildings to particular designers or eras. They discuss cornerstones, suggesting cornerstones contain mementos or items from the previous civilization, noting that cornerstone phrases and placements imply hidden information rather than straightforward history. They claim that the Capitol’s cornerstone search found nothing definitive, which they interpret as evidence of hidden or suppressed information about our past. Speaker 1 also references Nemrut in Turkey and Syria’s Andhara site to illustrate a pattern of destruction and concealment of the past. They argue that heads and statues were deliberately damaged or removed, and they question mainstream explanations about earthquakes, time periods, and ancient construction. They connect these events to a broader claim that a “previous civilization” built monumental works, which have been dismantled or hidden by modern powers, with photos of destruction at Nemrut and the temple complex in Syria showing acts of deliberate erasure. They claim similar patterns appear in other sites around the world, including Giza, Easter Island, and other famous monuments, and they discuss the role of organizations like WMF in documenting and preserving sites, while implying that preservation is selective. Towards the end, they announce plans to pursue further investigation by contacting publicly funded buildings to request access to their tunnel entrances, arguing that the underground network is no longer a theory but a public, map-supported reality. They state the 1929 map is a discovery, albeit a snapshot, suggesting that today’s tunnel networks could be far more extensive than shown and that their investigations will continue to reveal more about the old-world connections beneath modern cities. They promise to present more findings in upcoming episodes and invite viewers to engage with the evidence and share opinions.

Claim: an advanced past civilization built massive structures worldwide, while mainstream history is fabricated. The episode surveys multiple sites as proof. In Illinois, Streator Public Library murals allegedly dated '1905', with '1945' smoke damage and a claimed 'hidden restoration'; the murals’ painter is described as 'AI-generated'. The Logan County Courthouse clocks and interior domes are being repainted, while the 1800s timeline is mocked for rapid completion amid modern delays. The Illinois State Capitol is said to reveal an underground tunnel system; a nearby castle now the Illinois State Military Museum supposedly lacks archives. Union Station is tied to a sequence of fires deemed 'planned demolitions.' The Saint Louis Basilica and Monk’s Pyramid are presented as remnants of a prior civilization, with recurring names and symbols like 'griffins' and 'sphinxes.' Oshkosh, Milwaukee, and Chicago examples are used to argue timelines and photos are manipulated, urging closer inspection of hidden pasts.

The speaker argues that Big Ben (the Elizabeth Tower) and the Palace of Westminster reconstruction after the 1834 fire are not adequately documented, and that the standard narrative is false. He states that parliamentary archives claim Big Ben was commissioned, funded, and built as part of the Palace of Westminster reconstruction under state contract, designed by an architect of Parliament, with all work government funded. Because this was government funded, he maintains there should be official drawings, blueprints, ledgers, specifications, inspection certificates, and related records in the parliamentary record, and that these records should be accessible to the public. He describes his process of requesting from the parliamentary archives the original materials related to the Great Clock of Westminster—specifically, the original blueprints, architectural drawings, structural or engineering drawings, ledgers, engineering calculations, specifications, and any communications between architect, builder, or officials, as well as any photographs and inspection certificates. He notes the aim was to determine whether construction records exist and, if so, where they are kept or why they are not available. He emphasizes that if such records exist, they would reveal how the clock was designed and constructed, including any underground tunnels or echo chambers discussed earlier. The parliamentary reply is that there are surprisingly few architectural drawings of the great clock in their collections and that they do not have the construction records requested; they could not prove that Big Ben or the Elizabeth Clock Tower was constructed in the eighteenth hundreds as claimed. He presses back, asking for clarification on whether the archives ever held the complete set of original drawings and whether records were ever transferred, lost, or never possessed, and whether there are any catalog references or accession numbers for remaining materials. A subsequent reply shifts the argument: the architectural drawings and related materials were never part of the parliamentary collections and were not produced by Parliament, implying Parliament did not create or hold the original blueprints. He asserts that the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben were government-funded, public projects, and that under the Public Records Act of 1838, all documents created by government departments must be preserved as public records. He contends that if construction began two years after the act, such records should exist and be preserved. He argues that saying the records were never produced by Parliament violates this act and contradicts themselves, since Parliament would have approved the project and paid for it with public money. The senior archivist reportedly agrees that public records exist in principle, stating that records about the construction of Big Ben will be held by the National Archives at Kew, i.e., government records. The presenter then states they have contacted the National Archives to prove the blueprints exist, or to show they do not, which would violate the Public Records Act if the records are nonexistent. He describes this as a legal ultimatum with two options: produce the original blueprints and related documents, or admit that they do not exist. He asserts that the National Archives has told them that records are being transferred and will not be available to the public until 2026, and that the inquiry cannot access the same materials until then. He concludes that this constitutes an official paper trail, showing that parliamentary archives admitted they do not possess the original blueprints, even though Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster were government-funded projects. He predicts the National Archives cannot confirm the existence of records and suggests that the transfer and inaccessibility until 2026 is a deflection. He hints at broader investigations into other ancient structures and teases future content, including a potential move to Chicago’s Field Museum.

The transcript presents a sprawling conspiracy-tinged exploration of hidden underground histories, focusing on Chicago and expanding to other ancient-site claims around the world. The central thread is that vast networks of tunnels, bases, and underground structures exist beneath major cities, built or left by a “previous civilization” and largely hidden from public view. - Chicago tunnels and underground real estate - The Chicago Public Library archives allegedly document thousands of miles of underground structures beneath the city, including tunnels that connect to numerous buildings and even to City Hall (constructed in 1911). The narrator asserts these tunnels were designed for rail transport and for connecting underground spaces, not just for utilities. - Photos circulating on the internet supposedly show a railway on the tunnel floor, with tracks running throughout the tunnel system to serve transportation under the city. The narrator claims the tunnels extend under thousands of miles and link to major buildings such as City Hall, Merchandise Mart, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Chicago Tribune building, the Civic Opera House, and the Field Museum among others. - The Chicago Tunnel Company is cited as having built these tunnels, with a history that includes initial tunnels and later plans to fill tunnels with telephone cables. The narrator argues that the dates and narratives about cables and utilities collide with earlier claims of thousands of miles of tunnels existing long before telephone expansion. - An incident known as the Chicago flood (April 13, 1992) is described as a breach in the tunnel system near the Chicago River, involving hundreds of millions of gallons of water and affecting multiple buildings. The narrator questions whether this was an accident or a deliberate act, and links it to figures like “Bruce,” alleged to have been a publicized expert on the tunnels. - A firsthand account from the late 1970s at the Field Museum of Natural History describes a Field Museum freight tunnel connected to the Chicago Tunnel Company, including an elevator and a train car that remained in a sub-basement before being moved to a museum. This anecdote is used to claim the tunnels are larger and more integrated than publicly acknowledged. - Public maps from 1910 show a 60-mile section of tunnels, implying far more exists than is disclosed. The speaker notes that many private connections (switches, shafts, elevators) linked warehouses and stores to the tunnels, suggesting that the tunnel system was integrated into building construction and commercial activity. - The narrator asserts that, since 2001, public access to the old tunnel system has been restricted or closed off for security or other reasons, implying ongoing suppression of information about the underground network. - Mount Nemrut and other “hidden pasts” - The speaker shifts to Mount Nemrut in Turkey, arguing that the mound of crushed stone and the headless statues on a 7,000-foot-high summit were built by a previous, highly advanced civilization. They challenge mainstream explanations of earthquakes, earthquakes removing heads, and the dating of construction to periods like 62 BC or 2086 years ago, insisting the dates are misrepresented. - Ground-penetrating radar (September 2012) reportedly found a pyramidal chamber beneath the apex of the site, suggesting there are buried chambers or a sarcophagus beneath the mound. Turkish authorities are said to be restricting excavation, leaving questions about what lies beneath. - Similarities are drawn to other global sites (Syria, Egypt) where heads have been removed from statues and where modern renovations are described as destroying evidence of the past. The speaker uses these examples to argue that a hidden, advanced past has been suppressed worldwide. - Interwoven claims about reconstruction and misrepresentation - The narrative repeatedly asserts that mainstream histories are manipulated or inverted to hide the existence of a previous civilization and its architectural feats. The speaker alleges that cornerstones in major buildings contain containers with items from prior civilizations, and cites alleged investigations into cornerstone contents (e.g., the Capitol) to support the claim that previous civilizations actively preserved knowledge inside cornerstone artifacts. - Alfred B. Mullet is criticized as a possibly fictitious figure used to explain grand constructions; the speaker accuses the architectural histories of being AI-generated narratives with fabricated biographies, while asserting that many grand early U.S. buildings were constructed far earlier and more rapidly than publicly acknowledged. - The presenter teases that future exposés will cover more sites (including a Syria location with griffins and blasted heads) and invites viewers to discuss and verify these ideas, claiming a worldwide pattern of destruction of evidence by powerful groups. - Overall stance - The speaker contends that “there was a previous civilization here” and that “these tunnel systems, structures, and underground real estate” were long-hidden and are much larger than publicly admitted. The claims hinge on alleged archival evidence, decontextualized photos, disputed dates, and contested readings of historical events, all presented as part of ongoing investigations that challenge conventional history.

The host opens Episode 157 of My Lunch Break with a provocative claim: historians have been wrong, and there is actual evidence that global structures were not built in the 18th or 19th centuries as commonly taught. He asserts that these structures were constructed by an advanced civilization that existed before us, and that there are documented proofs showing that construction records, receipts, and blueprints for major monuments do not exist or cannot be proven to have been created by the timelines attributed to them. He lists several well-known buildings as examples where construction records allegedly are missing or unrecoverable: the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, New York; Big Ben (the Elizabeth Tower) in London; the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois; and Philadelphia City Hall. He claims that these sites expose that construction records do not exist and that there is no proof they were actually constructed as claimed. The host focuses on the New York Public Library (NYPL) in New York City, describing how he and others sought the original blueprints, structural engineering drawings, contractor ledgers, calculations, and material records for the building, which has long been believed to have been constructed in the 19th century. He emphasizes that taxpayers funded the project and that, by law, construction documents should be public records. He questions how many horses would have hauled marble, how many chisels were purchased with taxpayer money, and how the alleged competitive construction process of the era could align with the idea that such palaces were built with primitive means. A correspondence with the NYPL’s reference archivist is detailed: initial emails redirected to general websites with suggested keyword searches and in-person visits, rather than direct answers. The host reports that the NYPL later claimed the original blueprints and related documents exist but are fragile and, because the building is in use, are not available to researchers. According to the archivist, no building plans are shared with external researchers, even though the building is publicly funded. The host notes that no catalog numbers, no condition reports, and no evidence of copies or public access were provided. He cites emails from a staff member who reportedly oversees hundreds of millions in construction projects, claiming that the documents are held by the library and are accessible only to staff, not to the public or external researchers. The host contends that this pattern—no accessible construction records for major landmarks and official claims that records exist but are off-limits—extends to the Field Museum in Chicago. He references a Field Museum library archives manager and a connection to Burnham Brothers, noting that the museum reportedly has very few original drawings, virtually no job filings, no ledgers, and no contracts or project documentation. An archivist at the Art Institute of Chicago is cited as saying there may have been a purge of materials, and that, as far as is known, there are no architectural or engineering drawings or other primary construction documents for the Field Museum. The host summarizes that, across five major cities, there is a pattern of missing original construction documents, no ledgers, no logs, and no public receipts to verify the standard timeline of construction. He argues that this could lead to a profound re-evaluation of the accepted historical timeline and identity, insisting that the pursuit of the truth continues with upcoming FOIA requests. He teases forthcoming discoveries and invites viewers to follow as he and his team continue to audit these institutions and seek concrete evidence.

The video presents a sweeping series of claims that several world-famous buildings were not constructed as commonly believed and that the original construction records for these structures are missing or inaccessible. - The host asserts that structures around the world were built by an advanced civilization before ours, not in the 18th/19th centuries as widely told, and that there is documented proof that construction records, blueprints, receipts, and ledgers do not exist for many famous sites. Specifically named are the Cathedral of All Saints (Albany, NY), Big Ben/The Elizabeth Clock Tower (London), the Field Museum (Chicago), and the Philadelphia City Hall, with the claim that none of these have verifiable construction records. - The New York Public Library (NYPL) is a focal point of the investigation. The host describes mailing the NYPL for the original blueprints, engineering drawings, ledgers, and contractor records for the New York City palace (the NYPL building). The library allegedly replied with generic guidance rather than direct answers. After follow-up, the librarian purportedly refused to provide the requested documents, stating the blueprints exist but are fragile, not shared with researchers due to accessibility and preservation concerns, and that no building plans are shared with external researchers, even though the building is publicly funded. The host alleges the blueprints are “off limits to the public” and only available to NYPL staff, and that no catalog numbers, conditions, or evidence confirming their existence were supplied. The host references a specific contact who allegedly oversees hundreds of millions in construction and who allegedly indicated there should be a public paper trail, yet could not provide actual records. The host accuses the NYPL of withholding evidence and suggests the claim that these blueprints exist is unsubstantiated. - A major update concerns the Field Museum in Chicago. The prior episode indicated the Field Museum may not have the full planning records, with archivists noting few original drawings and a lack of job filings or administrative records. A subsequent email from an Art Institute of Chicago reference archivist suggested a purge of materials and that pre-1885 materials could have been lost to an office fire. The Field Museum’s archivist allegedly stated there are no known architectural or engineering drawings, no job files, no ledgers, no contracts, or project documentation for the Field Museum, casting doubt on the museum’s construction timeline. The host emphasizes that these findings would support the broader claim that many iconic buildings lack verifiable construction documentation. - Throughout, the host attributes the absence of records to a broader cover-up and expresses a determination to pursue FOIA requests to obtain actual responses, promising to reveal what those requests uncover. - The narrative interjects humorous references to Donkeys Incorporated Club as “true builders” of the past, with donkeys doing the work, and includes extensive sponsor mentions and channel promotions. - The host concludes that five world-famous structures allegedly lack original construction records and that FOIA requests will be used to pursue further confirmation, aiming to demonstrate that widely accepted historical timelines may be false. The overarching message is a call for the public to demand primary construction documents and to expose what is alleged to be hidden or inaccessible archival material.

Speaker 0: We have made a lot of episodes, a 106 to this point, for a long time after today. This will be the episode that I referred to as the end of the mainstream narrative. An episode that we have built up to for a very long time. Welcome to 2025. I believe this is the perfect time to share this information with the world. So here we go. I asked their AI database, the AI ChatGPT, if there were any archaeological finds that have been removed from the public, removing evidence of a previous civilization that was here where we live today. The answer is shocking. Yes. There have been numerous instances where archaeological finds are removed from the public. All of us. Where statement number six is the final straw for the mainstream narrative. A narrative that is taught to all of us since day one. A narrative that is being taught in children's classrooms in every country stating controversial finds, items that could challenge established historical narratives, the mainstream narrative. These items might also be kept from public display doing this to avoid controversy or debate. For any mainstream historian, this is the end. And for any archaeologist, you are now exposed. And this is just the beginning today. In fact, it's just the beginning of a massive series that we are starting right now as we speak. I'm going to be referring back to this episode time and time again. And to this point in all of our episodes, I have never needed to read something more. This page in their book, will be the end of the story that we're all told and the beginning of free thinking, the beginning of finding the truth, stating, advocates argue that the public access to such artifacts is essential for a fuller understanding of our true history and for fostering critical thinking about the truth. Our world's true history, suppressing giants with some findings in The Americas that suggest advanced civilizations existed just like we've talked about before European contact, such as evidence of complex urban planning where the mainstream narrative, the mainstream archaeology dismisses it, which contributes to these artifacts that have been found not being displayed or discussed, hiding artifacts that would expose an advanced previous civilization, hiding them simply because it goes against the mainstream narrative is exactly what we're being told. This highlights the tension between advancing knowledge, exactly what doing here, or sticking with the existing power structure in academia and society as we evolve this knowledge, exactly like we're doing right here on this channel. There may be a shift towards greater public access to the items found that are being hidden from all of us to this day. And I say that this is the beginning because we are now starting this series where we're gonna expose the sites, the items that are currently being blocked off from the public, blocking them off, hiding them from all of us in attempt that has been very successful for a long time to keep their false narrative in place. How many times to this point when going back and watching the first 106 episodes have we heard off limits to the public due to preservation or to keep looters away? How many times? This is the nod. This is the key, and we now know this. We've seen this in episode 98 where access to the physical artifacts may be restricted to ensure their preservation. We've seen it in episode 102, where it is no longer being exhibited to the public. We've seen so many examples of this. And today, it couldn't be any clearer, any more straightforward that so much of what we are told in life is controlled. It's manipulated to fit the narrative that we are all given, and we are about to take this to another level. Episode 86, when we saw that the project is supported by National Agency of Cultural Heritage Preservation of Georgia. The AFCP has allocated more than $1,000,000 to preserve and protect. This is a moment where our eyes open up even further, and we are able to see with more clarity than ever before. And once you're able to see, you will never go back, understanding that preservation protecting in the world of archaeology. This means preserving and protecting themselves, their narrative. This does not mean that they are preserving or protecting what they have found, and I wanna make that very clear. And this is fully exposed now. The blindfold has been ripped off, and there's no going back. This show is a progression. It takes time to show people the truth. There is a buildup, a process. The episodes are in order for a reason. The AFCP, an initiative by the United States Department of State just starting up in 2001. What a year. A group that the people of America fund through their tax dollars. A group that the world did not need in the eighteen or nineteen hundreds. And I wonder why. Now, again, I just wanna clarify, and I don't wanna be sarcastic at all. This group is amazing. We all know that they really are preserving and protecting all of our favorite sites. They support projects in over a 130 countries, preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage such as historic structures, archaeological sites, and traditional crafts. They restore ancient temples and mosques. Conservation of manuscripts from the old world, textiles, and old world music. Preservation of significant landscapes. They are for sure doing all of this. Jebel Barkal and the sites of the Nappatun region, Sudan, where the AFCP has funded conservation efforts at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. And we know this group very well, which includes temples, palaces, and pyramids from the old world. You've gotta ask, why are there so many groups that aim to supposedly preserve and protect sites that don't fit into the mainstream narrative that the exact same group publishes into the textbooks. And then they also fund the operation of teaching this narrative, the same narrative that they just wrote, all to the people at a young age in every single country. I believe that we have correctly translated their language. The words preserve, protect, and conservation, preserving and protecting their narrative is exactly what this means. And this unlocks so many more sites, so many old world places that is going to take this research so much further than we could have ever imagined. It will unlock places that have been hiding for so long. Without our sponsors, without our Patreons, without every subscriber, all of our badge members, and everybody who likes the episodes, This episode wouldn't be happening right now. This show, these episodes, it all honestly would have ended a long time ago. I appreciate all of you. And instead of ending this show a long time ago, because of all of you, we are now just getting started. Welcome to episode 107 of my lunch break. I hope you're all having a great day. And if you're new, welcome. Have you ever wondered what happened to the legendary Chuck Norris?

Speaker 0 argues that several famous buildings—the Cathedral Of All Saints, Big Ben, the Field Museum, Philadelphia City Hall, the New York Public Library, and the Emmanuel Church in LaGrange, Illinois—do not have their original blueprints, making it impossible to prove they were actually constructed as claimed. He states that their narratives are all the same, generated by AI, with no author, and that these buildings were publicly funded yet the blueprints are claimed to be accessible only to staff. He asserts that in ten episodes they have pushed their research to a new level, conducting a live audit, and that FOIA requests are a new weapon that government responses have failed to provide the requested blueprints and ledgers. Speaker 0 describes contacting the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to obtain the original construction documentation for the Federal Hall in New York City (the US Custom House), supposedly completed in 1842 under the US Treasury Department. He requests the original blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, ledgers, and inspection reports, noting that Federal architecture records would be preserved under record-keeping laws. NARA replies that, after searching the cartographic branch’s architecture master list, there are no responsive records; only three drawings from 1905 for the US Custom House in New York City exist, dated 1905, which is 63 years after the building was completed, and thus allegedly not relevant. He emphasizes that the master list is the National Archives’ internal index of all architectural records created, submitted, transferred, or preserved by federal agencies, and asserts that the federal hall has zero documentation in this master list, implying no verifiable proof that the structure was constructed in 1842 or at any time. Speaker 0 then claims he wants to review the master list himself and demonstrates using it to search for other federal buildings, noting for the US Capitol Building that the only records available are from 1935—10 sketch pages, not architectural, engineering, or construction documents. He argues these sketches are nontechnical and not construction records, and that 1935 is far too late to be authentic construction documentation for a building begun in the 1790s. He contends that the master list proves the mainstream history is exposed as false, describing the Capitol as an “American, neoclassical style palace” whose original blueprints and ledgers allegedly do not exist in the master list. He asserts that this pattern appears across seven or eight buildings, suggesting a broader trend of falsified records. Speaker 0 revisits the New York Public Library, referencing prior coverage (episode 157) where the library claimed that blueprints exist but are restricted to staff due to fragility and processing status, contradicting earlier statements that external researchers cannot access them. He reports a back-and-forth with the library, noting that the library now claims originals are not available to the public because they are not processed or conserved yet, which he argues is a contradiction. He quotes the library asking for his documentation while not providing theirs, calling the library’s stance a lie and stating that researchers will be revisited if the originals ever appear. He closes by stating they are grateful to other institutions for cooperation but see the New York Public Library as hiding the construction records, urging the library to stop emailing him.

We investigated New York City landmarks like St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Empire State Building, suggesting they were built by a previous advanced civilization. The New York Life Insurance Company building, allegedly constructed in a single year, raises questions, similar to the Empire State Building's rapid construction. I question the Statue of Liberty's symbolism, linking it to Lucifer's return and a subsequent era of deception, chaos, and control. The Empire State Building's construction timeline, replacing the Waldorf Astoria, seems impossible. I believe the building was pre-existing, dismissing manipulated construction photos. The Great Depression era allowed for historical manipulation. St. Patrick's Cathedral's cornerstone location is suspiciously unknown, and its funding by poor Irish immigrants seems unlikely. I also question some narratives around buildings like the Hearst Tower and Flushing High school.

Speaker 0 discusses the idea of proving a new civilization within old-world buildings in a single video, noting that capital buildings with different architects shouldn’t look exactly the same. He visits the Texas State Capitol, stating it was made in 1988, largely by convicts or migrant workers, and that it took six years and ten months to build, questioning whether power tools existed in 1885. He then moves to the Mississippi State Capitol, describing a contest in which 14 architects submitted plans and Theodore C. Link of Saint Louis, Missouri won; he suggests the design looks like other capitals. He visits the Arkansas State Capitol and calls the builders “a bunch of prisoners,” then questions whether cars existed for a walking figure in a scene. He shows the Florida State Capitol and notes that “they tore down the original.” At the Minnesota State Capitol, he says there was a competition with 41 submissions but the design looks the same as the others. He covers the Montana State Capitol, explaining there were two competitions in 1896; the winner’s design was deemed too expensive and another competition followed, with Charles Bell winning, though the resulting building allegedly still resembles the others. He notes that Arkansas’s design is allegedly identical to Montana’s, and that a competition for Montana’s design produced a rejected plan that Arkansas supposedly uses as its own. He documents another competition in Utah, describing a lengthy process and a nail-biter vote, after which the resulting Capitol supposedly looks like the others. He asserts the pattern of sameness across these capitols supports a narrative that the structures are manipulated for a consistent appearance. He closes this section urging viewers to subscribe and support the channel. Speaker 3 shifts to a focus on documented records, explaining that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) should hold construction documents for federal buildings. He states that the National Archives’ master list for the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. contains only 10 pages filed in 1935, which is far later than the building’s supposed construction period of 1793–1800. He reports that he emailed NARA to confirm these records and was told that if blueprints are missing from the master list, they are not in NARA’s holdings. He claims this constitutes “the end of the mainstream narrative” and states there is no evidence in the National Archives to prove the original construction. He asserts that adults in classrooms grade children on a story that is “completely fabricated” and that receipts or verification are needed for all stories, calling for an ongoing demand for verification across history and beyond. Speaker 0 continues, signaling that this is the eighth time they have exposed a structure with no documentation for blueprints, ledgers, load-bearing calculations, or other proof of construction. They announce plans to examine Louisville and expand the investigation to more structures, stating that nine structures have no verified documents and that purported scholarly sources admit they do not possess the blueprints. He lists structures including the Cathedral of All Saints, Big Ben, the Field Museum, the Philadelphia City Hall, the New York Public Library, Emmanuel Church in LaGrange, The Federal Hall in New York City, the U.S. Capitol Building, Crescent Hill branch library, and Westminster Presbyterian Church, reiterating the demand for blueprints and construction records. He claims the mainstream history is collapsing and frames this as a worldwide audit, one building at a time, with expectations to reach many more structures. He signs off, inviting viewers to watch more episodes and to provide receipts for the stories presented, and previews future focus on a castle tower in Riverside, Illinois.

In our hidden history, these buildings were not just for decoration. They were designed to generate free energy from the ether above and distribute it throughout our realm. We are not the most advanced civilization to have existed here. We are simply living in a post-apocalyptic world, surrounded by evidence of past greatness. Explore the concept of the mud flood and question everything.

Speaker 0 discusses contacting hundreds of records departments and officials to obtain blueprints and documentation for the Field Museum in Chicago, which are supposedly from 1919 to 1921. He states the building is a 480,000 square foot palace with 75-foot interior columns, built in two years, and argues that blueprints, receipts, and other construction records should be on file in Chicago’s archives. He emphasizes that by the early 1900s Chicago had strict building codes requiring stamped architectural and structural plans, and that these plans, logs, permits, plumbing, electrical, HVAC schematics, and load calculations should be permanently archived. If the narrative is true, he says, these documents should still exist and be accessible today. The team’s outreach is described: they asked the Chicago History Museum for blueprints, engineering drawings, ledgers, and calculations, and/or evidence of construction and funding, including correspondence between architect and builder and construction costs, especially for marble procurement. The Chicago History Museum is described as preserving Chicago’s architectural history and holding archives from major firms like Graham, Anderson, Probstin White, the firm associated with the Field Museum. The museum reportedly replied that they have experienced staffing cuts and that their ability to answer architectural questions is limited, describing the collection as complicated, and stating they do not have original blueprints for the Field Museum. They reportedly only possess renovation drawings from the 1980s and can only assume they have copies of originals, with no additional information. Speaker 0 highlights a contradiction: a 1915 photograph labeled “construction of the Field Museum” published by the Chicago Daily News shows a structure with a roof, suggesting work predates the claimed 1919 start date. He notes that if the Field Museum began construction in 1919, there should be records; none are available. He questions whether there are occupancy or dedication certificates verifying completion, and repeats that the museum replied they do not believe such records exist, though there are pictures. He also references Soldier Field as having the same architectural design and links the two structures to the same builders, claiming that records are missing for both. The narrator thanks supporters and reiterates that they will continue to investigate and expose discrepancies, stating that they have now unlocked the ultimate key: the question to ask is, “Do you have the blueprints? Show them to us the receipt to the building. We wanna see it.” He claims multiple structures lack blueprints and asserts that this proves mainstream history false. He mentions continuing to pursue questions about contractor ledgers and correspondence, and notes that the Field Museum was contacted again but did not provide blueprints, acknowledging they do not have them. He concludes that the Field Museum is exposed and promises to push forward with further episodes.

I've been researching old maps, flags, and architecture, which led me to the Cincinnati Music Hall, supposedly built in two years by Samuel Hannaford and Sons. But their company had no records until after the building was completed, which is suspicious. The Music Hall also had a fire just two years after completion! Fire narratives are key to identifying old-world buildings, and these buildings were not built by our current civilization, but rather a much more advanced one. From the Notre Dame fire in Paris, to the Royal Exhibition Building of Australia being built in one year, or even the St. Anne Shrine having its construction date wrong, so many signs point to a previous civilization.

Speaker 0 outlines a pattern they’ve found in the National Archives’ master list: the search term “lighthouse” appears 1,159 times, yet there are zero construction records or files proving how these lighthouses were built or funded by U.S. taxpayers. They argue that lighthouses were supposedly government-funded and built in the 18th–19th centuries, requiring surveys, material logs, engineering plans, and maintenance records, which should exist if these were real constructions. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, they say, is officially dated to 1870, but the master list lists its construction date as nd (no date). They note the story of an original lighthouse (constructed in 1802, a 112-foot dark sandstone structure) that was demolished in 1871 and eroded in a storm, followed by the current 270-foot tower moved in 1999. They claim the unverified 1870 date and the missing original documentation undermine the official narrative. The White Shoal Lighthouse (the tallest on the Great Lakes) has no construction date in the master list, and no date is provided at all. They question the architect’s identity, noting the United States Lighthouse Board is cited instead of a named architect, and accuse the narrative of fabricating a board to pin lighthouses to the military, implying no real architectural attribution. Princess Bay Lighthouse (Staten Island, NY) also lacks paint records and a construction date in the master list, with no construction documentation or blueprints. Nash Island Lighthouse in Maine is discussed with speculation that houses built next to old-world structures may be the actual construction dates, given the lack of records for the lighthouses themselves. They question why a county with very few people (Emmett County, Michigan) would require a five-mile-offshore lighthouse in the 1850s, suggesting population data contradicts the claimed need for so many lighthouses. They discuss the Mount Desert granite lighthouse in Maine (20 miles offshore, built around 1830) and note that it originally had a bell tower, which was replaced by a steam whistle in 1889, along with the assertion that the house was built after the lighthouse. They observe repeated patterns of a granite first lighthouse being destroyed by storms or replaced, and they anticipate more examples as they continue to investigate. The Bodie Island Lighthouse in North Carolina is highlighted for its fresh paint and a new house, described as having an AI-like story that it is the third construction on the site, with earlier lighthouses abandoned or destroyed. They challenge the feasibility of powering these offshore lighthouses in the 18th–19th centuries with cables, noting that whale oil and kerosene were used for lighting, but suggesting a hidden mechanism. Overall, Speaker 0 argues the historical narrative is inconsistent, points to a recurring pattern across multiple lighthouses, and speculates that there may be a deeper, subterranean or “underneath the paint” connection among these structures. They close by proposing that these lighthouses might have been powered by free energy and could serve as evidence of a advanced preexisting civilization, while acknowledging skepticism about the mainstream account.

Speaker 0 argues that Big Ben, the Elizabeth Clock Tower, London, is older than the official narrative claims and was not built by “our civilization.” He states he and his team contacted the parliamentary archives, which allegedly said Big Ben was commissioned, funded, and built as part of the Palace of Westminster reconstruction after the 1834 fire, a government-funded project designed by a parliamentary architect under state contract. He emphasizes that because it was government funded, official drawings, blueprints, ledgers, specifications, inspection certificates, and related records should be in parliamentary records and accessible to the public. He sent an inquiry to the parliamentary archives asking for original materials related to the Great Clock of Westminster (Big Ben), specifically the original blueprints, engineering drawings, ledgers, calculations, specifications, communications between architect, builder, or officials, any dialogues, any construction photographs, and inspection certificates. He notes that this would reveal whether such records exist and, if not, would undermine the mainstream construction story. He claims that the parliamentary reply indicated surprisingly few architectural drawings exist in their collections and that they do not have construction records proving the eighteenth- or nineteenth-century construction as described. He presses further, asking whether the parliamentary archives ever held the complete set of original architectural, structural, or engineering drawings for the great Clock or the clock tower, whether those records were ever transferred, lost, or never held, and whether there are any catalog references or accession numbers for remaining materials. The response he received allegedly asserts that architectural drawings were never part of the parliamentary archives collections because they were not produced by Parliament, and that Big Ben was not built by Parliament. He argues this contradicts that the Palace of Westminster was a government project built after the 1834 fire, with Parliament approving or paying for the project, and that under the Public Records Act of 1838 all documents created by government departments must be preserved as public property. He maintains that if construction began two years after the act’s enactment, the records should exist, and their absence would imply a violation of law. He then poses two possible scenarios: either the original blueprints, ledgers, and engineering documents exist and prove the construction story, or they do not exist, which would contradict the Public Records Act of 1838 and the mainstream history. He states the National Archives at Kew should hold government records, including those about Big Ben, and that Parliament has admitted they do not possess the original blueprints. He reports that the senior archivist acknowledged alignment with the Public Records Act and said such records would be held by the National Archives at Kew. Subsequently, he says they contacted the National Archives to prove these blueprints exist under government custody. The plan is to force a formal admission that the records exist or do not exist, exposing the construction story as false and creating a legal paper trail. He notes that the National Archives indicated that they cannot confirm the existence of Big Ben construction records and that the collections are being transferred and not available to the public until 2026, creating a deflection. He concludes that this constitutes a potential historic revelation: the most famous clock may lack foundational construction evidence, and the inquiries open the door to reexamining other historically claimed pre-1800 structures. He ends by signaling future exploration, including plans to examine the Field Museum in Chicago, and thanks supporters and sponsors.

Speaker 0 discusses Holy Name Cathedral at 730 North Wabash Avenue, Chicago. He states that the cathedral was “built before our timeline began” and claims the story that it replaced an earlier 1875 building destroyed in the Chicago Great Fire is false, describing the narrative as AI-generated and lacking originality. He asserts the cathedral was constructed in 16 months, with the cornerstone laid in July 1874 and dedication in November 1875, and he plans to email the Chicago History Museum to challenge this mainstream timeline, requesting original architectural blueprints or construction drawings. He argues the basement exists and posits that basements must be excavated before the cornerstone, implying construction began before 1874 and that the published timeline starting with the cornerstone omits an entire basement level. He questions how many floors lie underground and whether the cathedral connects to tunnels, noting Chicago’s “thousands of miles” of tunnels. He contends there are zero details in the narrative about construction logistics, such as how many horses were used, construction ledgers, purchase orders, or water consumption for horses, and he finds it improbable that dozens of horses pulled thousands of tons of stone in the described timeline and conditions. Speaker 1 states that ground was broken in July 1874 and that completion occurred in sixteen months, labeling it a quick construction. Speaker 0 counters by reiterating questions about horses, wagons, and missing documentation, noting the absence of any records about water for horses, foundation drawings, or other critical construction details. He repeats that the Chicago History Museum claims to have no original architectural plans for the Holy Name Cathedral. Speaker 0 notes that the museum provided photographs from 1902 and a 1916 ceremony, which he says do not prove construction details. He mentions the museum’s guidance on researching their collection and the museum’s librarians’ assertion that there are no architectural plans for the cathedral. He emphasizes that the cathedral’s basement and tunnels are not documented in existing records and states that, according to the museum, there are zero architectural plans, zero load-bearing calculations, and zero evidence supporting the sixteen-month construction claim. Despite the lack of documentation, the speaker reveals that the museum showed a file titled “map showing tunnels and connections from 1929.” He plans to obtain a digital image of the map, since the museum does not allow copies, and intends to view and eventually photograph the map to make it public. He commits to investigating whether tunnels connect to the Field Museum and other public buildings, and to asking those buildings about access to their tunnel networks. He invites viewers to subscribe for ongoing updates as they pursue the tunnels and related records.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss a pattern of alleged hoaxes surrounding so-called ancient or “old world” buildings in the United States, arguing that documented records do not exist to support the histories commonly taught. - The conversation centers on the Hoffman Tower in Lyons, Illinois, described as a tower that supposedly belongs to a park and was built in 1908 by a named construction company. The speakers claim there should be construction documents proving this, but they contacted the Village of Lyons and were told there are no blueprints or receipts for the building or the later staircase destruction in the 1990s. The village reportedly has “nothing on the building, period. Case closed. Nothing at all.” This is presented as evidence that the Wikipedia account is false and that no historical records exist to back up the claimed construction. - They assert a broader claim that “the history that we’ve all been told” since childhood is a lie, and they repeatedly state that multiple buildings in the area were not built as described. They reference years of researching and receiving the same response from officials: no documents, ledgers, or load-bearing calculations exist for these structures. - The discussion then moves to Lamont, Illinois, noting that a school in Lamont replaced an earlier one and again lacks supporting documents in the speakers’ view. They posit that the story about the 1836 school and subsequent building is likely AI-generated history and argue that the replacement school shows modern architectural features incongruent with the eighteenth- or nineteenth-century period. - They discuss a nearby historic Limestone Village Hall in Lamont, pointing to a stark contrast between a 1900s photo and the renovated present-day building, including the removal of the bell tower and bells. They claim bells were removed and melted into coins and cannons, referencing the Liberty Bell as an example of “cracked from overuse,” though they say historians are uncertain when the initial bell split occurred. They show sadness or outrage at what they view as erasing historic features during restoration. - The Altgeld Hall Chimes Tower at the University of Illinois is brought up, with a 2023 exploration referenced. They claim a restoration involved removing the bells and that this building’s historical state was captured in Episode 36 of their channel, but that the current project completely changes the building’s appearance. They describe 2024 renovations starting with a 3,000-pound bell and show before-and-after photos to illustrate perceived destruction of the “old world” building. - The speakers conclude by returning to Lamont, noting a nearby palace-style church (Bethany Lutheran Church, built in 1895) and contrasting it with the local housing, implying the church represents an architectural anomaly. They insist such “palace” constructions and “old world” features did not take place as claimed, arguing that the narrative of buildings being erected rapidly in a single year (multiple times referenced) is false. - They reference a recurring question about the authenticity of the architects and suggest that the supposed architect TJ McCarthy, who allegedly built these structures in a single year with self-taught expertise, might not be a real person. They propose that these towns contain interconnected tunnels or connections to other old world buildings, and question whether the architects were real individuals, given the lack of verifiable records. - Throughout, Speaker 1 emphasizes a view that “these stories … lied,” pointing to England’s Big Ben as another case where records are missing, and contends that many historic buildings worldwide from the 17th and 18th centuries were found without proper documentation.

Speaker 0 argues that the Cathedral of All Saints, Big Ben, the Field Museum, Philadelphia City Hall, the New York Public Library, and Emmanuel Church in LaGrange, Illinois all lack their original blueprints, making it impossible to verify that these structures were constructed as claimed. He asserts that their narratives are uniform across countries and time, claiming they were built in a short period, followed by a mysterious fire, and replaced by untrained individuals who never build again. He says these buildings, though publicly funded, have blueprints that “staff can see,” and that no blueprints have ever been provided to him or his team despite repeated requests. He states that in the last 10 episodes they have escalated the research to a live audit, exposing the narratives and pressuring institutions to reveal blueprints and ledgers. Speaker 0 describes using FOIA requests as a new weapon, pressuring governments to respond legally, and notes that responses so far have been poor. He references a formal request to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for the blueprints and supporting documents for Federal Hall in New York City (the US Custom House), built under the US Treasury Department and completed in 1842. He quotes NARA’s reply: a search of the cartographic branch’s architecture master list found no responsive records, with three drawings from 1905 for the US Custom House in New York City, dated 63 years after the building’s completion, and no other references to the US Custom House in NYC. He emphasizes that those 1905 drawings are not construction records and questions their relevance. Speaker 0 expands his critique to the US Capitol Building, noting that the master list shows only 1935 documents (10 pages of sketches) for a project begun in the 1790s, which he says are nontechnical and not construction records. He claims these sketches demonstrate that “the master list” is an internal receipt, effectively empty of authentic construction documentation for the Capitol. He concludes that the federal architectural records for the Capitol are absent for the original construction period and suggests that similar gaps likely exist for other capitol buildings in the U.S. He asserts seven verified instances where credible records are missing and that this undermines mainstream history, calling for eight if the Capitol is confirmed. Speaker 0 then recaps findings regarding the New York Public Library, stating that the library claimed only staff could view blueprints and that originals were fragile, later claiming they are not available to the public because they are not processed or conserved yet. He describes this as contradictory and accuses the library of lying about access and availability. He notes that the New York Public Library has not provided the researcher with any documentation and suggests other institutions are cooperating, while the New York Public Library is not. Throughout, Speaker 0 reiterates the intent to reveal the truth, asking for viewers’ reactions and inviting further discussion, while signaling plans to continue pursuing master list verification and FOIA responses. He also mentions that this is episode 159 of “my lunch break.”
