Trump's addition to the White House is estimated to take $500m and 3 years to build. That's just an addition and that's with 2025 modern technology available. Of course since it's the White House, I'm sure there's a lot of logistical issues and other considerations but it's just an addition and Trump has billionaires backing the project.

Still, there are thousands of buildings all over the world as good of quality and MANY significantly better quality and larger than the White House. Some of these buildings supposedly had 1-3 year build times. Meanwhile, of buildings we know today that are of similar (or better quality) being constructed, we have one that started in the late 1800s and is still being constructed today (Sagrada Família)...

I used to dismiss a lot of the Tartaria stuff because most of it focused on the "free energy" stuff which I felt was a little far-fetched and too "utopian fantasy"-like but something about this old architecture doesn't seem to add up to me. It reminds me a lot like the moon landing. "We just lost the technology" aka we just confirmed how romans did concrete a decade ago.

Did guys in the 1800s really just pop out buildings of similar or better quality than the White house like it was no big deal? Then today, to get something build on a similar scale we need billionaires backing the project. What gives? I don't know if I buy the "it's too expensive" (now but it wasn't back then?) or "no one likes the style" (yet everyone is amazed by it). You'd think a place like Dubai with all its money and expensive "new-style" buildings would have thrown up at least one grand "old-style" building but they didn't even put up one. No pillars just glass boxes.

Something isn't adding up for me here. What are your guys' thoughts?

Look at an old Victorian house, the materials alone would cost several times more than buying a house of equivalent size filled with modern amenities. Then look how ornate it is, even if you can find a few people who can do the work they cost several times more than a bunch of Mexicans and kids. Those old Victorians usually have a turret (the round room at the front that goes all the way up. Those have curved glass, last I checked 10+ years ago only one company in the us still makes curved glass and it costs many times more than flat glass. Part of the quality comes from the fact that it was all made without power tools every piece was cut with a hand saw and every nail driven with a hammer. That will multiply the time and therefore the cost. In short our minds can hardly comprehend the real inflation numbers.

That's right. The Mexicans being their illegal offspring with them to work and their quality sucks
