They changed after the first world war. First official one was 1851 in London where the Crystal Palace was built, "An impossible building and an impossible story." Canada had one in 1967 in Montreal and 1998 in Vancouver.
Mostly what's discussed is speculation but the point is, there's something strange about all this. What is it that's missing? Conspiracy? Cover up of some natural occurrence? Something else?
Yup, was at the one in Montreal as a lad. It was pretty mesmerizing when material life seemed pretty plain. I don't think they left much behind after, the dome and buildings later used for athlete housing at the 76 Olympics - others here might know more. Being in that time, it does not seem that there was any conspiratorial nuances to that Fair.
That said, @JGeropoulas introduced this subject back in 2021 - see here:

Stolen History video series
Video (part 1 of 3) Intro begins with an idea familiar to forum readers: "The official version of human history is a construct of lies. We are in a state of collective amnesia. Let's free ourselves from the artificial matrix that has been imposed on us." The narrator uses...cassiopaea.org
Have not watched the one above, yet did catch the ones on @MJF's Alton Towers thread featured by @moyal here. Had posted a photo from the Chicago Wolds Fair of a Phrygian Cap in the Alton Tower thread.
Anyway, if looking at the Stolen History link, it links to another forum and the videos don't work, however the link video's can be accessed through BitChute et cetera. I think every Worlds Fair was covered in some detail.
One interesting mention remembered were these stone walls along some roads in California, might have been associated with the San Diego Worlds Fair. These were walls that seemed to be build out of even those times, just not contemporary with them, nestled behind growth at the side of new roads siting on foundation stones.
Yes, something about it all. There was certainly mass capital put in at times when things were rough, with the interjection of many new devices that would change peoples thinking and use. To see much of it almost immediately ripped down did seem to make sense. The one building, perhaps Pairs, had incredible detailed glass works - gone, fire I think.
Anothe loony of the "Grand Tartaria" lore?
A friend sent me this video a little while back. Some very interesting issues associated with the construction of the World's Fair and the reason for them.
Skip past the first seven and a half minute which is straight advertising.
There is a lot of information missing about the actual documentations of the works which I doubt existed in large quantities. In the older days people were creating with their heads and were making drawings, plans maps and lists of materials. The builders did not need training or how-to written cheat sheets because by our standards today, they were masters, each and every one of them. Nobody had to write weekly and monthly reports for the shareholders. The people really knew how to work and were really working!Good synopsis T.C. He also talks about fires that were happening in multiple cities during that time period. Do those factor in? In what way? Why did the whole World's Fair thing get essentially omitted from history as taught in schools?

Columbus Monument, 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition
Erected in homage to explorer Christopher Columbus, one of the most famous statues of Barcelona was inaugurated during the Universal Exposition of 1888. In fact, it was created as part of the improvement works carried out in Barcelona for the international event. Today, one of the main attractions of the sculpture complex is the viewpoint located 197 feet high.
Hey you guys that went to the Montreal expo, do any of you remember the UK exhibit??
