I have no idea what a stock certificate has to do with Tartaria, and neither do you.
Here's your (You), summerfag.
>>
>>5081119
You're retarded anon. The stock certificate proves that it was just a Columbian fair from 1893, while tartariafaggots think it was some magical lost civilization thing. You sound retarded like them, but in a different way tho
>>
>>5081128
>tartariafaggots
You're the one who brought up Tartaria.
Do you see any Tartarians in the room now?
Take a look at the subject of this thread. Tell me how an image of the cert wasn't appropriate.
WTF is wrong with you?

chinese style boat on the water?
anyone know about this?
>>
>>5092158
>chinese style boat
That looks like a typical venetian lagoon boat called "bragozzo". I can almost see the lions of St. Mark on the sails. There were also the more recognizable and famous gondolas, so I think Venice could've been the theme of the boat show
>>
>>5092158
>>5092188
Just checked. There was indeed a reference to Venice and its lagoon. Also, there were a caravel columbian fair, afterall) and a viking ship. Cool stuff

Seems likely, yes. It was basically a gigantic stage set. I wonder if some smaller piece was looted by the workers and still rots completely forgotten in some storage box in Chicago tho. I womder the same with older film sets. Like, I bet some piece of Griffith's Babylon is still circulating in California's thrift stores lol

People are in such disbelief that white people could accomplish this that they invented the "Tartarian Empire" conspiracy because they can't accept that white people peaked in the 19th century. So they question, how did we go from 'that' to 'this' ?

Well, white people invited the whole world into their nations, and thus destroyed themselves. Humanity now descends into a new dark age. It's no wonder people are starting to realize that the Austrian painter was right all along.

Based. Also, I bet that the tartaria shit is actually a psyop to detach people from reality (aka the FACT that we were living in paradise just 100 years ago compared to to-day's hell)

If you are interested in the 1893 World's Fair, you should read or audiobook "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson. It explains how Burnham got the expo off the ground and ties in with the H.H. Holmes murders. It's one of the best historical books I have ever read/listened to.

Absolute FUCKING KINO BOOK RECOMMENDATION from this anon right here.

I hope DiCaprio never gets that film adaption off the ground. He's been trying for almost as long at it took him to win that first Oscar.

Oy vey, this is very anti-semitic!
Where are the glass dildos and diversity?!
These uppity goyim need to be knocked down a peg or two!

Indeed, fantastic book, it's wild how many threads of history the Fair ties into, and the Holmes side of the story is harrowing
