📸 Egypt and Egyptian St. Petersburg

Very often on the Internet you can find the phrase "Egyptian St. Petersburg."

This is because anywhere in the world except St. Petersburg you will not find such a large number of Egyptian elements in the architecture of the city. According to the "official history" this is all explained simply - it was a wave of Egyptomania that swept the highest society in all of Europe. Personally, I get the feeling that either the rich representatives of the "Egyptian race" lived in St. Petersburg and were allowed to install sphinxes, obelisks, and pyramids. Or St. Petersburg was a colony of Egyptian pharaohs. Probably most likely, after all, St. Petersburg was a colony, as I repeat nowhere else in Europe there are Egyptian attributes in cities, well, except in museums.

And the mysterious history of the construction of both the pyramids in Egypt and the construction of St. Petersburg is also approximately the same.

The "official story" of course again simply explains everything. Simple slaves, squeezing, dragging and installing multi-ton blocks, built and pyramids and temples and obelisks. And in St. Petersburg, simple serfs (slaves) also manually processed multi-ton marble blocks, building a promenade, palaces, columns. You thought how much marble was used for the construction of St. Petersburg - this is hundreds of thousands of cubic meters. Even simple barracks for soldiers in Kronstadt were made of marble. "Official History" claims that everything was done manually by simple peasants, before there was no power tool. Those. Previously, anything could be molded from marble like plasticine, but then the technology seems to have been lost!

That is, the similarity of the history of the construction of architectural monuments of Egypt and St. Petersburg in person - ordinary men manually built mega-structures. There are, of course, some differences - Italian architects were invited to St. Petersburg for construction, in Egypt they somehow managed 😂

History was written hundreds of years ago, which means that the technology for studying history was inaccurate, erroneous. But what if in museums the exhibits were not brought from afar, but simply collected from the streets, artifacts taken from new residents after the development of this ancient city?

After all, they call St. Petersburg "Northern Palmyra", "Northern Thebes", "Northern Memphis" and even "Lost Atlantis".

Just imagine this picture of the city, when all the statues from the Hermitage were placed around the city, but there are empty niches in the buildings where some statues had stood before. Imagine the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians living in this city. Many no longer believe in "grandmother's tales" that Peter I built St. Petersburg. Rather, under Peter I, the settlement of an empty city, restoration of buildings began. Most likely the city was flooded earlier. Then the water left and there was an opportunity to enter the city. Peter I took advantage of this. Most likely, the first residents of St. Petersburg saw the city as in the paintings of the ruinists.

But what if our story is really different?
