Entertainment Education cornerstone freemasons masonry military FORT AMERICAN Van Schaick Island revolutionary war key

TRANSCRIPT - 0:00 You see the brick at the top, the way it looks. They said this was used during the Revolutionary War, a colonial fort. So if you see any brick that resembles this
0:14
right here at the top,
0:16
it means that building was built or used
0:18
during the Revolutionary War. This is
0:21
the site of the Colonial Fort Half Moon.
0:23
So, I'll show how this area was a fort
0:26
used during the Revolutionary War
0:29
because this was built over here in
0:30
1777.
0:33
And then I'll go through the city over
0:35
here, Van Schaick Island which was a military encampment. And I'll show all
the similar brick work on the buildings where they lie about them being built.
0:43
So, you'll be able to see what buildings
0:45
were used during the war and whatnot
0:48
over here.
0:51
All right. And now we're going to go if
0:52
everybody in here just it's pattern
0:54
recognition. Just remember this pattern
0:57
right here through the whole live. This
0:59
is the key of the live right here is
1:01
this pattern.
1:03
Is that the same pattern
1:06
for the brick?
1:13
Which means that this building would
1:14
have been used during the Revolutionary
1:16
War. This is pre- 1800s. right here.
1:19
This brick, you can see they turned it
1:21
into electronic equipment. The merchants
1:23
deceived the nations. They started
1:25
selling electronics out of here. Now
1:26
it's an apartment complex.
1:29
See, they put the cinder block column
1:30
right here. All the way up.
1:34
They put the cinder block column all the
1:36
way up. You can see they went over it.
1:38
Look at the window right there. They
1:39
went over.
1:43
That's a tower right there.
1:47
You see the brick? It's the same brick I
1:49
just showed over there. They said it was
1:50
a colonial fort. So, where would the
1:53
George Washington been at?
1:57
This whole It says right here, military
1:58
encampment.
2:05
Vansky Island military encampment, 1777.
2:08
They showed the same brick on the other
2:10
side. Told you it was a fort. This
2:12
building was built before the 1800s.
2:17
It's the same brick.
2:20
So, I said this brick is going to be the
2:22
key to the live pattern recognition.
2:24
You're not going to be able to deny it
2:26
real time. 5 to 8,000 soldiers.
2:29
Continental soldiers, right? This is the
2:32
next key. Continental. They're going to
2:35
tell you right on the street signs.
2:37
Continental. A.
2:39
You guys remember the general? George
2:41
Washington's general.
2:46
I got the freaking picture of him. Watch
2:49
this guy. The general. See him? Tadius.
2:54
What's his last name? How do you say it?
2:57
I don't even know how to say it. That's
2:58
his last name there, though. See it?
3:04
Right across the street. Is it not the
3:06
same brick
3:13
that I showed at the fort that he built
3:15
in 1777?
3:18
Let's go look at the date. Their
3:20
cornerstones lifted. You see it lifted?
3:22
It's the same brick during the American
3:25
Revolution. So, this date better be
3:27
before 1777
3:31
AD. 1904.
3:35
I'll show you what they built in 1904.
3:42
Right.
3:46
This is what they built in 1904. The
3:49
extension right here. You tell it's
3:52
different brick.
3:54
See how it connects right here to the
3:55
wall? They built this in 1904. Right
3:57
here.
4:06
They added it on. It's two totally
4:08
different style brick.
4:10
They would have never built it like
4:12
this.
4:14
Where's all this? See how the pattern
4:18
the same structure for the Continental
4:21
Army during the Revolutionary War. This
4:23
is when they reset it, turned it into a
4:25
church, incorporated it, called it St.
4:27
Michael's.
4:33
Is that not the same brick
4:38
at the top?
4:41
[Applause]
4:51
Same brick.
4:53
When do you think they built this? Let's
4:55
see if they got a date on this.
4:58
I think there's a D.
4:59
[Music]
5:06
[Music]
5:13
No number up here.
5:16
Should be a cornerstone.
5:23
A cornerstone they rejected. See how
5:25
it's so low? Is this not the same
5:27
pattern or brick? I told you this was
5:30
the key to the life. That brick pattern.
5:32
Is it the same pattern?
5:40
This is the top of the tower right here.
5:45
It's that's the what they installed
5:48
a little arch to get in it. The regular
5:50
doors down in the ground.
5:57
There would have been a deed up here
6:00
originally.
6:03
Remember they told you to keep the laws
6:04
and the statues and not break the
6:06
commandments.
6:09
What they say on this one.
6:14
Okay, here we go.
6:18
That's interesting. A 900 date on here.
6:24
Where do you think they got that from? I
6:27
don't think that belongs to this
6:28
building. Ukrainian.
6:33
That says 1907,
6:40
which is still wrong.
6:42
Even this date right here, 1907, cuz
6:44
it's the same brick from 1777.
6:47
And I've I don't even I've never seen
6:49
something like that. I'm not even going
6:51
to hold you guys.
6:55
St. Peter and Paul.
7:02
I don't even look like it says Paul.
7:11
This is where I got in trouble last
7:12
time. I was sitting here pointing at
7:13
this cornerstone. Not this one exactly,
7:15
but I was pointing at a corner. Someone
7:17
screaming at it and the police pulled
7:20
up.
7:26
N this it just got pulled from a
7:28
different building or something. You
7:30
could tell. Look at the joints. See how
7:33
it cracks right there in the mortar? It
7:35
would have been one solid bond.
7:40
It's different mortar around the whole thing.
