In the 13th century, people covered Prague at 7 m. The official version

Almost all old cities were partially underground by 1-2 floors. The same song in underground old Prague:

The fact that these were once overground floors, in addition to the presence of sealed windows, is also evidenced by the presence of arches and columns that are too beautiful for basements.

The usual official explanation is that this is how it was built with basements. Although, in fact, it is obvious that, once these were the first floors above the ground. Because they have windows and doors leading to nowhere, more precisely, to ordinary soil. Later, windows and doors are simply bricked up.

Another official explanation is building subsidence or "cultural layer". But why does this happen only with buildings built before the second half of the 19th century? And after that, it did not sag even a centimeter in 150 years. This can be easily seen, because the first photographs appeared about 150 years ago.

The difference between Prague is that with the official explanation of this phenomenon in this city, it seems, everything is not the same as with the explanation for other cities. According to this "scientific" version, Prague was buried … people after it was built:

The level of the square of the Old Place, where the famous town hall with the clock rises, has been artificially raised for many decades, because river waters flooded the city center and the first floors of many buildings were underground. Now under the building of the town hall at different levelsthere are wells of several houses.

What are these different levels UNDER the building?

It is specified here that each of these levels is up to 7 meters:

In one of the corners of the dungeon, you can easily catch the noise from the square. Such a "special" place is the only one in the dungeon. Other the rooms are built on different levels, each of which is up to 7 meters.

Wow! If, for example, there are only 2 levels, then the total height of underground structures is up to 14 meters. It is 5 floors by modern standards. And if there are 3 of these levels?

Here

the Town Hall underground was formed in the second half of the 12th century … before, the first buildings in this area were located at a depth of several meters, but due to constant floods, the level of buildings had to be raised higher. Thus, already in the 13th century, the former ground floors became underground.

So. They buried it about 100 years after it was built.

Here it is confirmed:

In the 13th century, due to the threat of flooding, it was necessary to apply soil filling measures. As a result, the first floors 70 housesended up underground, and the entire street of the Old City went into the dungeon of 5 houses.

It is specified here that the flood took place in the second half of the 13th century and the water did not leave for a long time:

In the second half of the 13th century, the land level in the Old Town was raised due to floods. During a severe flood, water flooded the first floor of buildings and did not leave for a long time. Thanks to the rise in the ground level, the buildings of the 13th century have been preserved here. The first floors of 70 houses then went underground.

In this film "Cities of the Underground - Dungeons of the 3rd Reich in Modern Prague" at the very beginning of the 21st minute, the version about the artificial filling of the city in the 13th century is also confirmed:

8 centuries ago, the townspeople raised the level of the city

8 centuries ago was the 13th century.

At 22:15 it is repeated that it was in the 13th century.

At 11:45 pm, the tower is said to be 69 meters high (23 floors by modern standards) built in the 14th century, that is, after the city was bombarded. And so that she and other buildings do not fall into the dungeons, arches and vaults were built under the entire city.

At 23 minutes 55 seconds, it is stated that the city is filled up. "earth and gravel" and rammed.

It's hard for me to imagine how to ram 7 meters without megamachines. Moreover, not a small area for some kind of statue, but the whole city !!!

Where did they get such an amount of substance from which quarry, how many years how many people have been doing this - is not specified. In theory, a serious quarry should be dug near Prague. But, I have not found it yet and it hardly exists.

That is, according to the author of this film, the city was first buried, rammed in the 13th century, then dug up in the 14th to build arches and vaulted ceilings in the basements under the buildings and buried again.

Well, okay, the level was raised due to the flood.

What do they do in other cities, where there are severe floods? They just build not one-story houses, but build more floors over the old one-story ones. On the upper floors, floods wait out several days every few years.

I told how they do in other cities. But, in fact, they do this in the same Prague, only after other floods.

In 2002, the level of the Vltava in Prague rose again, but it never occurred to anyone to raise the level of the ground by many meters, although in the 21st century it is much easier, albeit extremely difficult, even with BelAZs. And then, by hand, they threw the whole city up to 7 meters.

Wikipedia on the events of 2002:

Heavy rains caused a sharp rise in the level of the Vltava … In some places the houses were flooded up to the second floors, the river rose by 6-7 meters.

The same 6-7 meters and the same second floors !!!

So why didn't they bury the city as before, according to the official version? If cities were buried after each flood, not a single city would remain.

Let's try to calculate how much was poured, although this is difficult to do, since it is not clear what area was poured. But, since everywhere it is said that they covered the city and not some part, then we will proceed from this.

According to wikipedia, the area of the Old City = 1.29 square km.

If this is covered with a 7-meter layer, then the total volume = 9 million cubic meters. For comparison, the volume of the Cheops Pyramid is almost 4 times less - 2.5 million cubic meters. And, according to the official version, it took 20 years to build. Accordingly, it can be estimated that Prague was buried 5 times longer - 100 years, provided that the very high-performance ancient Egyptians worked, who laid a 2-ton block in an average of 2 minutes.

9 million cubic meters of soil weigh at least 18 million tons. (The density of the soil is more than 2 tons per cubic meter).

The world's largest dump truck - BelAZ-75710 with a carrying capacity of 450 tons. This is a railway station. a train of 8-10 cars, depending on the carrying capacity of the cars.

He will need "only" 40,000 walkers.

It will take, for example, an hour to load, arrive, unload, return to load. If the quarry is close to the city.

How many hours per year? 24 * 365 = 8760

40,000 walkers / 8760 hours = 4 and a half years he will need to work without breaks and weekends at 1 walk per hour.

It is necessary to fill up, of course, not the entire area of the city, but only the gaps between the buildings. What part of the total area these gaps occupy is not known to science. Well, even if this machine can handle it in a year.

I am using the expression "Official Version" by convention. Because, I have not found references to any historians. But, I use the version for tourists, based on the fact that, usually, tourists are told exactly the official versions.

But, nevertheless, I would like to find an official one. What if she is different all the same?

I am asking the audience for help. Let's link to all the official explanations for the origins of underground Prague

Thank you

I cannot ignore the fact that not only Prague, but also the old part of Baalbek is also filled up to about this height. Perhaps more, but, so far, in 2014, archaeologists have dug up the quarry of the largest megaliths in the world for exactly that amount. (up to 2000 t)

These coincidences are suggestive of a worldwide flood. Or, too, did they themselves buried these giant bricks, which were mined with as much difficulty as the 70 houses of old Prague?
