No this is not Rome this is Chicago, IL, USA

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry is housed within the last remaining structure from the Chicago World's Fair.
Look at the exceptional details and beautiful white marble!
The female figures shown here are known as "Caryatids". A caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar. The Greek term karyatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town of Peloponnese.
Karyai had a famous temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis in her aspect of Artemis Karyatis: "As Karyatis she rejoiced in the dances of the nut-tree village of Karyai, those Karyatides,
who in their ecstatic round-dance carried on their heads baskets of live reeds, as if they were dancing plants".

I don't know about you, but I never believe this millions of years, I don't think such a dating can be done.

Human antiquity
According to the branch of Paleoarchaeology, human-like creatures did not exist more than 35 million years in the past. Image
The Smithsonian Institute states that the earliest stone tools found for making incisions in bones date back no more than 2.6 million years.

However, many scientists independently and repeatedly reported markings on bones from more than 2.6 million years ago indicative of human
work. Lewis R Binford, in his book Bones: Ancient Men & Modern Myths, confirmed the existence of incisions 15 million years ago.

Other strange anomalous discoveries include....
1. 1. Nail discovered in a 400 million year old sandstone stratum found by Sir David Brewster.

What do you think of that text and that photo.

Here is what the graph says.

This January 1937 photo from Sneedville, Tennessee, shows Eunice Johns, age 9, and her husband, Charlie Johns, age 22. The groom gave his wife a doll as a wedding present. The newlyweds planned to build Image
a cabin and, as Charlie Johns put it, "do housework." This couple illustrates the cultural relativity of life stages, which we sometimes mistake for something fixed. It is also interesting from a symbolic interaction perspective, that of shifting definitions.
The marriage lasted
The couple had 7 children, 5 boys and 2 girls. Charlie died in 1997 at age 83, and Eunice in 2006 at age 78. Both were buried in the Johns family cemetery.

And back to the bells.

There is no doubt that they were used for healing through resonance and frequency.

It is no coincidence that there were thousands of them in a small town with only one religious temple. ImageImageImageImage

Remnants of a forgotten time, and a forgotten empire made to be locked away and forgotten. These are the insane asylums founded in America in the 1800s. Interesting the castles and places they stuck the unwanted members of society in back twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
then, compared to today. Where was the need for such grand facilities on massive grounds? for a population far less than it is today by what we are told. Most all of these massive facilities are in ruins or destroyed today.

This HUGE log "Oregon Forestry Building".

Was built for the "Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition" in 1905 to help promote the state which also included over 400 miles of electrified street car system from DC and AC power generated at Willamette Falls built in 1889-1895 at
it's Station A over 40 miles away one of the first long distance power lines in the world. The massive Exposition Center that was built torn down used for an industrial area but the Forestry Building stood until 1964
when it burnt down although there was next to it a Montgomery Wards Building built right in front of it in 1938
