What is going on beneath the Ritz Carlton in CA?

Are the columns from a previous building that got buried?

What was the building?

How did it get buried?

it used to be a pier

There are just some things that dont add up for me.

The article linked mentioned that the concrete columns are an old foundation built in 1970 ON TOP of the bluff.

How did it get buried then?

What event happened post 1970 that would completely bury the foundation?

It was buried so completely that it was forgotten until the erosión caused by the pounding waves unearthed it?

So the burying and revealing by erosion all happened within 50 years?

The article makes it a point to state that it "resembles ancient ruins."

It doesnt make sense.

Those cliffs are weak and can collapse due to coastal erosion. They're just shoring them up so that doesn't happen.

Or, at least not in the near future. They will fall eventually.

What does "shoring them up" mean?

Thank you.

From the linked article:

"A spokeswoman for the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay declined to comment for this story."

Brought to you by the sagacious leaders of the previous world order that no one is permitted to speak of, lest someone figures out the current world order is a fraud built on a pack of lies....or at least built a few yards inland due to inferior engineering skills.

Once every 20 years or so homes on those cliffs fall into the sea. I have personally witnessed it. Anyone building something for actual use in that spot would be a complete moron.

True GLP style!

Care to elaborate?

Please?

careful a big bad wolf type doesn't meander on past and do some huffy puffys

Left overs from previous reset.

Jon levy you tube mud floods. He mentioned that in one of his shows.

Any ideas on how the "foundation" was initially buried? This foundation was supposedly built in 1970. How can such a large structure be completely buried quickly enough that it would have time to be revealed again by natural erosion in less than 50 years?

Giving the cliffs support so they don't fall.

Reinforce, stabilize

I’m no historian, archaeologist, structural engineer or landscape architect, but it looks like newish construction to me.
Simple answer, look at county building records.

They drill into the ground and pour concrete

It can't. Plus, those columns have etchings like those ancient columns that have been uncovered. This doesn't pass the smell test.

I can't see the etchings but I showed it to a professional they said it looks ancient...

:wow:

Reinforce, stabilize




Thanks!

In California they have to do a lot of work after the fact to try to stabilize moving earth because it moves a lot in California.

They go into sliding homes and drill deep holes down to bedrock to stabilize the structures. That picture looks like either there was a structure that they tried to stabilize by drilling, attaching to bedrock and filling the drill holes with concrete for support and the structure fell into the ocean anyway. Or the Ritz is just trying to stabilize the coastline itself to protect its building and the land is falling away and showing the work done.

I'm no expert but I've lived in California and know they do this type of retrofitting all the time.

I, at first, thought this to be a satisfactory explanation for how the columns could be buried.

But when I went back to the pic that was in the linked article, there is clearly a flat wall (that was already dismantled in the first pic) that can be seen behind the columns.

One cannot build a flat wall underground from aboveground

Also, the lines on the columns look to be intentionally symetrical.

WOW!! Awesome contribution! Thanks!

I agree!

That's what I am saying. There is a difference between old (1970) and ancient.

I'll check him out!

Hmmm ... this could be a reasonable explanation.
