- Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 -
After numerous comments with doubts about this fact of the buried buildings in many cities, I already thought, is it worth continuing to publish collections of photographs and a number of other facts on this topic? Anyway, skeptics do not see more than 5-7 examples and only discuss what they see as lack of proof. And everyone remains unconvinced. And those who have thought about it remain with the question in their heads, tk. so far no one can clearly tell what happened in the past.
But still, I will continue. The facts, collected into a single one, look different and all together it is already difficult to accuse of fraud. Try it (who first saw this topic), open and view, read at least this series of posts.
Buried Kazan
Not so long ago, this photo flew around the Internet:
But this is not the only example from Kazan, when the first floors of buildings were dug up.
Promotional video:
In Kazan, on Bauman Street, an underground gallery was built by the millennium of the city, by 2000. It is interesting because an entire street has been dug up.
The construction site was frozen, the street was dug up and left. It was supposed to use basements (first floors) of existing buildings. The builders reached the bottom of the foundations of the buildings of the 17th-18th centuries. They write that they did not find anything interesting. Now access to the underground is closed, but there are a sufficient number of photos on the network. It is clearly seen that the windows of the first floors are below ground level.
Here it is, this pedestrian Bauan street in Kazan.
In the summer of 2000, a part of the street between Chenyshevsky and Jalil was opened. It is a pity that then digital technology was not yet in use - I still cannot find photos of this, without exaggeration, historical event on the network. Although it is difficult for me to believe that no one captured this spectacle. By August 30, 2001, the aboveground part was commissioned.
The underground part was mothballed.
Street during reconstruction.
After the reconstruction of the street, the builders left the entrances to the underground part.
You can't tell right away that there is a whole floor under this pedestrian pavement:
Street at the beginning of the 20th century.
In Kazan, the first street was paved with stone in 1829. Before that, as in other Russian cities, the paving of the streets of Kazan was made of wood. This is already interesting. Why was it not possible to lay out the streets with stone before?
As you can see, water penetrates there and floods the underground part.
This is also Kazan. Archaeological fragments of the Northeast Round Tower.
It can be seen that the entrance to the tower is deep underground.
The territory of the Kazan Kremlin. Excavations.
About the versions with floods from the Volga. Yes, they happened in Kazan:
1926
But this is just underflooding from the Volga flood. And this water will not bring meter layers of clay.

Version originated from chispa1707:
In the USA in 1832-1836 there was a four-year "dusty cauldron". Fields and buildings of settlers, farmers fell asleep like this:
This is no longer in the people's memory. Scientists remember - thanks to the pictures, but only them.
From 1842 to 1849, several large siroccoes of unknown origin passed.
But we need the batch that came shortly after long droughts - no matter where.
Good candidate: droughts around 1834 and dust from 1835. Well, the droughts of 1836-1842 and the dust of 1842-1849.
paklonnik: No, in 1933 - 1934 the dust rose in the American (Canadian?) Prairies, and did not come from space - I'm telling you for sure. I myself live in Saskatchewan, with us it is part of the story, all newcomers are told. They began to plow something there - and swept away part of the soil. We quickly changed the type of plows to moldless, so as not to repeat. You can still see human-sized ramparts along the roads - this is dust settled along the fences / wire.
This is what dust storms in the United States turned territories into.
Dust storms during the 1930s in the United States.
They are now meeting in the United States. Arizona.

I will continue with a set of other examples:
CITADEL OF AMIR TEMUR. Samarkand. 1871 year. Photo from “Turkestan Album”.
***
Irkutsk:
There are many such buildings (semi-basement brick-stone first floor, and the second - log) - there are many in all Siberian cities. Why was the second brick floor not completed? Cold?
Can the blockhouse sink like that?
Why didn’t it sink next to it? Or was it blown in by a dust storm?

Excavations in Tripoli, Ukraine. For archaeologists, these are all cultural layers.
***
An arched underground passage was found, there is earth in it, how did it get there? They choose the land from there to make an excursion route in the future, but where that path leads is not known. They write that they have not yet arrived at the finish line. Of. standard version: no funds.

Chatal Guyuk, Turkey

Archaeological excavations near St. Nicholas Cathedral, we look at the level of the ground and the sediment has settled.
Cathedral of the Archangel. Ground in the basement. How did she get there? The mudflow brought mud into the basement. The stone floor is clearly visible under it.

Astrakhan (photos from wakeuphuman):
I walked a little around the city, took photos of houses drowned in clay, with wooden second floors built on top of the first brick ones.
I went down to one house, which was neglected. There is still knee-deep water.
The poem "Darkness", written by Byron in July 1816 in Switzerland:
Darkness
I had a dream - it was not just a dream.
The sun has gone out, the stars have faded
Wandering in the eternal space without a road;
And the icy, black Earth
Wandering blindly in the moonless air;
Day came without dawn;
And horror displaced human passions
Before the desolation of the world - cooled
Hearts in supplication, self-seeking supplication.
They huddled around the guard fires:
Kings crowned thrones and palaces, The shacks of the poor are all dwellings
Went into the fire; cities were burned
And people aspired to the fiery pillars -
Look at each other's faces just once more;
Happy was the one who lived near volcanoes -
By the light of mountain torches; one
The world existed with a timid hope.
They set the forests on fire - and every hour with noise
Trees crumbling charred
And again the blackness was approaching;
Intermittent flashes at times
Human faces lit up dimly
Giving them an otherworldly look:
Others lay face down by the fire
And they cried; others leaning on
On clasped hands, smiled;
Others were busy collecting
Fragments on your funeral pyre,
Casting glances with wild concern
To the firmament - the shroud of the former world;
And threw themselves into the dust, grinding their teeth
And spewing terrible curses;
And on the ground, disturbed birds
They beat in vain with their powerless wings;
And the predators appeared with humility
Seek protection; snakes crawled, Looping in the middle of the crowd
Hissed, but did not sting, - for food
They were killed; and again the war, Forgotten, she resumed her feast:
The piece began to be extracted with blood; every, Hiding in the darkness, greedily satiated;
Love has disappeared; one thought reigned
About death - a quick and inglorious death.
Hunger gnawed at the womb, the pestilence began, But the dead did not find graves:
Gnawed skinny skinny, and the dogs
They rushed at the owners; only one, A growl, a cold corpse guarded
From greedy jaws - and with a long howl
He licked his unrequited hand, Screamed desperately, barked hysterically, Forgetting about food - weakened and fell silent.
So gradually everyone died … Two
Residents remained in the huge city:
Sworn enemies at the altar
They came together over sacred utensils, That served the ends of the wicked;
Warm ash with bony hands
Stirred up - and with a weak movement
Fanned the spark: as if in mockery
Flames flashed, for an instant
Their eyes met - and then, crying out
In horror, they both fell, Struck down by mutual disgrace;
And they never knew who he was
On whose brow the cruel hunger brought
Nickname: Enemy … The world is empty: mighty
And the crowded world became a dead block
No herbs, trees, no sun, no people -
Lifeless and frozen lump of ashes.
Lakes, rivers and seas are frozen
Silence reigned in their depths;
Abandoned ships rot;
The masts were lurching - their fragments, crumbling, They did not resent the immovable abyss;
The tides have calmed down in the tomb;
Their mistress Luna has disappeared;
The winds died in the motionless air;
There were no clouds, but there was no need for them -
And the whole Universe was embraced by Darkness.
