1000 years missing in Portland
I’ve found another case of “1000 years missing”. In one photo, the building says 1884. In another photo it says 884.
Here’s the original photo with the 884:
It’s the Kamm Building in Portland, Oregon. The photographer is a man named Minor White. The photo is dated 26 of February 1939.
The 884 capture looks coincidental as the photo was focused on the two buildings in the front.
I’ve taken a screenshot of the exact URL where the photo is hosted. The URL may disappear because it reveals something you’re not supposed to know.
Once more the close-up:
The other image of the Kamm Building, this time focused on that building, is also by photographer Minor White, and also dated 1939.
A “1” appears has been added and the 8, 8 and 4 moved to the right to make room for the 1.
This particular photo can be sourced from many different websites, such as Portland Museum or the Minor White Archive. It’s the popular image of the Kamm building.
Close-Up:
What’s the story here? Why would anyone feel the need to add a number? And was it added in physical reality or in photo-manipulation?
We’ve seen the same with other buildings, coins, plates and inscriptions. See for example my article on 1000 years missing from Galleria Umberto. Every time I see it it creates a difference of 1000 years.
Perhaps the building was built in what the makers believed to be the year 884. The number 1 was added to align with what we teach our children about these being built in the 1800s.
To make things even more confusing, the building was likely neither built in 884 nor 1884 in our understanding of time. It could have been built sometime in between. Our dating has been so thoroughly manipulated it’s challenging to reconstruct any historical timeline.
The building is decorated with Griffins. This is one of them:
The Griffin is a symbol of the lost and destroyed Tartarian Empire.In previous articles we’ve linked Seattle and San Francisco or really the entire American Northwest to that forgotten Empire, so it’s not surprising me to find similar here.
Who built the Kamm House?
Several famous buildings in the area were said to have been built by German architect Fritz Krumbein, including Kamm House. There are two Kamm Houses, a small one and the large one we see above. History websites say Krumbein built both.
This entry on Krumbein states that “Krumbein designed the 1871 Jacob Kamm House”, which is the smaller of the houses. But the page of that house contradicts this statement:
So I “learn” that the smaller Kamm house is falsely attributed to Krumbein.
The Krumbein page further states:
Here we learn that yet another house attributed to Krumbein wasn’t built by him.
With this much confusion, who knows what Krumbein built at all? Why do we have difficulty attributing our most beautiful buildings?
Krumbein is linked to the “Ancient Order of United Workmen Temple”. Early Portland is full of such secret orders and societies. There were several Oddfellow Lodges, Masonic Lodges, Mining Lodges, etc. There were more secret brotherhoods than justified by the small population size. This was common in the old west. Apparently there were a lot of secrets to keep.
Portland: An ancient city?
Portland is the most western “frontier”. In school we learned that the wild west were cowboys on horse carriages building wooden houses and fending off brutal tent-dwelling savages. This photo from 1858 Portland exemplifies that mainstream narrative:
Real History wasn’t like this.That’s just an implant made in Hollywood. Yes, settlers did build these simple wooden houses but they were built alongside something else.
The following photos are also by Minor White. White was tasked with taking pictures of pictures of old Portland before it was demolished. It is unclear why this beautiful city, including the Kamm Building, was broken apart. If we believe these concrete and iron buildings were built in the late 1800s, why would they destroy them so soon?
Contrary to the “wild, wild west” narrative with your Saloon, Horse Stable and Wooden houses, the far west really looked like this:
It’s remarkable how empty Portland was, even as late as the 1930s.
Demolition was already in progress while White took his photos.
Entrance of the Kamm Building.
Italy? No, Portland 1800s.
This was one of the banks of the small town:
Fun-Fact: The American east coast has more buildings that look ancient Greek than Greece.
That just was a small selection of photographs by Minor White.
A 1890 aerial drawing of Portland, proving that these buildings already existed at that time:
Look closely. This whole thing was supposed to have been built between 1880 and 1890 by a fairly small group of settlers.
Really?
How?
I chose one of the buildings at random, the Corbett Building upper left, and asked AI when it was built. AI assures me the Corbett Building in Portland was built in 1907.
Then why is it on a map made in 1890?
Electric cranes began around 1900. Before that, hydraulic cranes were used. With all that building going, I’ve almost never seen cranes in old photos.
According to census records, Portland’s population in 1850 was 821 people, in 1860 it was 2800 people, in 1870 over 8000 people. And around1880 it was approximately 15 000 people.
If all these objects stood in 1890, they must have been built before that date. Let’s do the math. Before 1880 there just weren’t enough people around for a large scale building project. So let’s start in 1880.
Of 15 000 people in 1880, how many are able bodied men who have the free time and strength to build an entire city within just a few years? Let’s say half of these are men – 7500. Of these, some are too old and some too young for construction work. Divided be three then, we have 2500 able bodied men in 1880. But not are available for physical labor. Census records say the city had doctors, lawyers, retailers, cashiers, bookkeepers, bakers, teachers, bartenders, accountants, clerks, dentists, clergy, etc. It’s doubtful a dentist is going to leave the comforts of his office to go pour concrete. If we’re generous, we could say there were about 300 construction workers available in 1880. I guess that is enough to build a nice building. But a whole city?
How long does it take to build? To build a family-size house today takes about a year. You design and get permits. You prepare the site and clear, grade and lay the foundation. About 3 months have passed. You start with the framing, set up the basic structure and exterior. Then the roof. By now 6 months have passed. Add another 3 months for plumbing, electrical and HVAC and drywall. And another two months for painting, flooring and inspections.
Today, building a simple house requires around 50 workers with job titles such as architect, engineer, surveyor, excavator, grader, foundation crew, carpenter, roofer, siding installer, window and door specialist, electrician, plumber, HVAC technician, insulation installer, drywaller, painter, flooring installer, cabinet maker, trim carpenter, general contractor, project manager, inspector and more.
The buildings of old were much more detailed than our simple houses. You not only need workers but skilled craftsmen and artists. To build a large building you need a thousand workers or more. A Cathedral is estimated to require a workforce of around 2000 people and 10 years to build.
Who built Portland in all its magnificent and intricate detail within just a few years? According to a search-query, around 5% of the population are involved in construction in any given place. If we take the 20 000 people that are said to have lived in Portland in 1885, that would leave us with 1000 people to construct a city of hundreds of houses, high-rises, palaces, temples, streets, bridges, churches and cathedrals. That’s highly improbable, even less so with the low-tech our horse-carriage riding ancestors owned.
“Well, staff was recruited from other cities and towns” you say. To which I say: Other cities were built at the same time. Some buildings of the nearby Salem, Oregon in 1890. How are you going to recruit workers from Salem if they’re busy building Salem?
Salem, Oregon, had a population of 2500 in 1880, according to census records,. That leaves about 150 people involved in construction to build the schools, hospitals, factories, churches and houses you see above.
The small nearby town of Mount Hood in 1885:
Who built it all? Where were the building materials sourced from? Who financed it? Records are sparse and false data abounds.
The Portland Expo of 1905
In Europe and Russia many old-world houses remain standing. They get renovated from time to time. The concrete is still good today! They last for hundreds of years. Why did America feel the need to demolish much of it it in Portland and other cities?
One of the excuses they frequently use are fires.
The other excuse is where they turn old buildings into an “exposition” and then say it will be demolished because it was temporary. I’ve listed many reasons I don’t believe the Expos were temporary buildings, but the main two are:
1) The buildings architecturally fit to the stuff built in the surroundings
2) Some of those “temporary buildings” of all those Expos were repurposed and are still used today.
Here’s an image of the Portland “Expo” of 1905:
A 1901 map of Portland:
On Wikipedia I learn that the Expo was just south of Nicolai Street (formerly St. Helens Road):
This is confirmed by this 1905 map:
On the exposition map and the postcard above, there is an adjacent lake. This lake is missing both on the older maps and on modern ones.
Zooming in on the 1901 map it looks like someone took an eraser to remove the buildings, but did so incompletely, leaving at least 11 buildings half-erased. Moreover, the previous existence of buildings in the cleared spots is still visible if you look closely.
Is this just a cheap and lazy cover-up attempt? Or is it to indicate that this area was still being excavated? With all the half and quarter parts of buildings I think it could point to excavation.
It also appears that the large lake existed only during the exposition, not before or after. Was the lake filled with the demolished rubble after the event? It seems strange to go through the trouble of creating an entire lake, just for tourists, and destroying it half a year later.
Maybe the lake did exist but wasn’t shown on maps to avoid visitors seeing semi-buried ancient structures yet to be excavated.
When I input “Guild’s Lake” into Google Maps, it shows up at the correct spot (where the lake used to be) and it’s indicated as a Lake – but all of it is warehouses and streets:
Official sources say that Guild’s lake was a swamp that was filled with rocks after the Expo. Looking closely around Google maps I still see similar shape structures where the old Expo structures used to be. Could it be that the buildings were never demolished but once again repurposed?
The Expo was built by the Olmsted Brothers who have already featured prominently in other fake-history set ups: The Olmsted’s are also credited with the United States Capitol Grounds, Biltmore Estate, The World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, roads in the Great Smoky Mountains, Berkeley University, Stanford University, Yale University, Cornell University, Trinity College, Washington University, Central Park in Manhattan, Druid Hills Atlanta and about 150 other large, country-defining projects. In the linked list you’ll discover that these ambitious Olmsted Brothers built almost every major University campus and park in the nation.
I’m not claiming this is untrue. But: If you wanted to falsify History and repurpose already existing structures it would be convenient if you could limit it to only very few architects in the know.

The Fake Timeline of Portland
Let’s look at the history timeline of Portland, a list of notable events (from Wikipedia):
Notice the Fire in 1873. Every city I’ve researched so far, has had a fire in the late 1800s, most commonly the 1870s. Right before everything was supposedly built.
It’s a pattern:
1870s Fire.
1880s Built.
1890s Populated.
We’ve seen the pattern play out from city to city.
My alt-History take on this is that a world war raged between 1720 and 1830. The later Fires were last remaining “unfinished Business” of that war. Any remaining buildings were repurposed.
Here’s what’s missing from the timeline: One of the biggest building projects on the west coast, of all time. Wouldn’t that be worth a mention in the records?
Unless of course these buildings weren’t built in the late 1800s.
The timeline continues:
In 1895 we finally find mention of something being built. “City Hall Built”. It’s the only mention of anything being built. So strange!
The first big newspaper was called “Oregon Staats Zeitung”. That’s German language for “Oregon State Newspaper”. German was rejected as the national language in 1795 (according to official History), so why was it still being used for mainstream newspapers out west? Maybe it’s to do with the fact that the reported first settlers to Portland were Germans and called the area “Albina”. Albina is still a suburb of Portland today. , In old-German it means “little white”. Hmm…that reminds me of the name of the last photographer of old Portland, “Minor White”. Is there a connection? Is the name, that sounds made-up, some kind of code-word? But why?
The Anomalies are in the Details
How many readers have looked at the photos above in detail? If you’re a detective, you can read a lot out of a simple photo. What do you notice about the cast iron door, for example?
The bottom half of the door and wall look more worn than the rest. It’s possible they were flooded or buried underground at some point and then excavated. Yes, dear skeptics: I know there was a big flood in 1800s Portland. But what we see here is wear that occurs after a longer period. And it’s consistent with mudflood evidence in cities across the world.
Do you see the trident symbol above the door? As usual, the symbolism has little to do with what we were taught about the “wild west”.
And did you see there is another door above the door? Why? I’ll leave it to you to ponder.
Below a late 1880s photo of Chinatown, Portland. Portland only inhabited a few thousand people, it’s remarkable they had a Chinatown. Have you ever heard of a village of a thousand harboring a Chinese enclave as if it were a big city? Unless of course, the Chinese (Tartarian) people had already been there for much longer. They say that the first Chinese arrived to Oregon in 1850, as miners. What a convenient date, as this around the same time Portland is supposed to have started.
To be honest, the evidence of Chinese and Tartarian, as well as Chinese-Tartarian settlement of Northeastern America dating back hundreds of years is there if you look for it. For some reason modern authorities don’t want you to know about it. Because then you’d know that “native Americans” which look like Russians, Siberians and Asians, are really Tartarians. And then you’d know these people have not been savages for a hundred thousand years, as taught in school. They are the survivors of an apocalyptic war.
It’s easy to tell the difference between “old world” and “new world”. On the photo above we see old world architecture and then cheap new world banners, painted writings and wooden builds added to the old stuff. In the old world, writing was routinely engraved. In the new world it was painted on.
An 1880 postcard in which Portland is already called “The Metropolis of the Pacific Northwest”. It’s interesting how a town of a couple thousand people already required these large schools, hospitals, asylums and town-halls.
I enjoyed this detail:
With all this already standing in 1880, it makes the notion of having been built in the 1870s even more absurd, as census records indicate a population of 8000 people at that time (5% of that is 400. Imagine 400 people to build an entire city).
I’m intrigued by this building as well:
I looked for a photo of it and found this building at the place I suspect it to be:
You’d never guess this was built within two years, between 1883 and 1885 as a High School, according to mainstream sources. Notice the antennas.
And this was supposed to have been built as a dentist’s office for the small town:
I bet if you dig you’ll find this house is much deeper (see my Mudflood if you need an explanation).
A newspaper of 1873 is quoted as saying that even after the demolition of 200 edifices, Portland’s downtown cast-iron collection remains the largest outside of Manhattan.
This is in 1873, when Portland was supposed to have been a village of a few thousand people.
This photo, of unknown date, must have been taken at a time before there were cars.
Cars began to be used in Oregon in 1899, so it was before that. Inspect the buildings carefully. We are told that at the time, these buildings were sparkling new. The problem? They don’t look new. But don’t let the blatantly obvious get in the way of the nonsense we’re taught as “History”.
This one is dated 1886. Again, this stuff doesn’t look brand new.
It all looks well-worn, decades ore more old.
Photo below: Just another street in 1880s Portland. All of this miraculously appeared in the 1880s. Unfortunately there are no construction photos or designs of this massive undertaking.
Type “construction photos of old portland” into Google and the best they can do is show you photos of a bridge construction. It’s not that we’re not capable building it. It’s that we didn’t because there is no evidence that we did.
Some similarity to San Francisco:
As everywhere else in America, goddess Columbia plays a central role:
As elsewhere, houses were built along already existing roads and grids:
This, by the way, is Fort Astoria, established by John Jacob Astor near Portland to facilitate fur trade in the 1811.
Astor was one of the richest people of his time. Couldn’t he have built anything better? And was his early mission to the west coast really for the purpose of fur trade?
Portland City Hall in 1890:
This was called Hotel Oregon and later renamed Hotel Benson. It still stands today:
Color and style are similar to the allegedly “temporary” buildings of the 1905 Expo.
This Church is said to have been completed in 1895, taking five years to build.
Strange then, that I already find it completed on the 1890 map.
See if you can spot it using the Google Maps comparison above.
I’ve chosen these buildings randomly, no cherry-picking. Everything I look into easily reveals false data.
This building was supposedly completed in 1892 and demolished in 1934:
Historical websites claim it was demolished do to taxation and subsequent economic difficulties.
The Chamber of Commerce is notable because I found evidence that it was built precisely when they said it was built. That’s the rare exception. The evidence is in this panoramic photo from 1892, the same year the building is said to have been completed:
Close-up:
This photo actually contradicts my entire point of a more ancient build of Portland. I welcome contradicting evidence, but there’s one problem here: Evidence like this should be much, much more common considering that an entire city was built during these few years. If more counter-evidence isn’t forthcoming, I wonder if the photo is manipulated or whether it shows a renovation, not construction.
Another building nearby looks burnt out:
There are several dozen buildings like this around Portland, claimed to have been completed around the same time:
Portland photos from the 1870s are revealing. Allow me to share a few.
1873:
As you probably know, I believe these cities to have been excavated from under the mud. The photo above gives me that sense.
1875:
The street is unfinished, but as early as 1875 you already have grand buildings all over Portland. When were they built?
1870:
Notice the relatively dirty bottom of the building. It looks like that part was dug out rather than newly built. The fence appears stained with mud.
The modern metropolitan area of Portland include Oregon City, which is directly adjacent to Portland’s south and Vancouver (not the one in Canada), which is directly adjacent to Portland’s north. If Portland only began in the mid 1850s with a few hundred settlers, then why are all three – Oregon City, Portland and Vancouver already listed as places on this 1845 map?
There are paintings drawn of Portland being nothing other than a river and empty land in the mid 1850s. An example:
And yet, we find it on a map of 1845. If nothing were there, as official History and these paintings imply, then why is it listed on maps?
In a newspaper of 1945 Portland is referred to as “the region’s best port”.
The ancient Kingdom of Aniana
Now let’s turn back the clock by hundreds of years. This is a map of Oregon published in 1593!
Oregons History did not begin in the mid 1800s. In the 1500s it was called Anian Regnum, the Kingdom of Anian. Anian is ancient German for “land of ancestors”. To the right we see “Bergi” which is German for “mountains” (Berge).
The Latin inscription on top of Oregon says that “Here, human societies are seen living like the hordes we see among the Tartars”. What did I say about the old west coast being Tartarian? And what did I tell you about Ancient German?
The map shows cities. How is it possible there were cities? My History teacher in school taught me that all people out west were primitive savages who could barely assemble a spear made of stick. I was taught that these people couldn’t assemble more than a spear for hundreds of thousands of years because of how dumb they were. And now I see they had large cities? The ocean around Oregon is called “Strait of Anian”. A Wikipedia page calls the Strait of Anian a “semi-mythical place”.
I’ve seen the word “semi-mythical” come into play more strongly in recent years. In many places it has replaced the label “mythical”. I believe this is thanks to the tireless work of countless alt-history and fake-history researchers who demonstrate the reality of various so-called mythical people, places and events. Our cretinous academics can no longer claim our entire history a myth, so they say they are “semi myths” or “partially true”.
Here’s another map of Anian, from 1597.
We see Oregon had cities that are lost and forgotten. They are…
Pagul and Salboy. What language is this? It’s not Spanish, French, English or Latin.The only language I know that places a diacritical mark above the letter y is old Norse or Icelandic (there’s that ancient German influence again).
Pagul may be Portland as it’s adjacent to the large river and near the fork of the river, as today (factoring in the cataclysmic changes in Geography).
In the south we find the cities Tuchano and Quiuiva.
Other cities are called Tignex and Ciciac. Natural places carry Spanish names, unlike the city names. This points to an older civilization before Spanish arrival. I found nothing more on the city of Pagul. Wikipedia, Google and AI, arguably the repository of all information that ever existed, told me nothing about it – they don’t even know it exists. Or AI is nothing but a narrative-control device just like its search-engine predecessor.
Archaeologists dig up a rock wall and say “this is evidence of human habitation 18 000 years ago”. But what about just 500 years ago? What happened to these civilizations? Could the indigenous and native Americans have been these people?
Between 1775 and 1780 there was a smallpox outbreak among the indigenous people of Oregon.
From 1801-1802 there was said to be a second smallpox outbreak among the tribes.
In 1830 there was a fever pandemic, decimating natives even more.
Evidence of gradual chemical warfare?
So many natives died that hardly any were left to tell of their side of the story.

After publication of this article, researcher @TartariaLives sent me this snippet from 1639, denoting Oregon as “Eastern Tartary”.
