   All good possibilities, Lisa. I have come to believe these world’s fairs featured Old-World Buildings and showcased technologies that had not yet been reintroduced to the current civilization at the time or were just then being reintroduced.

   Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the post. 👍

   But did they really use wires or light bulbs, I wonder, John? Maybe there was another power source to light up the scene. 🤔

   Tesla and the Cabbage Patch Kids by Guy Anderson:

   NEON LIGHTS

   “Neon lights are another example of a technology that Tesla advanced rather than invented. A Frenchman, Georges Claude, ushered in the neon age when he displayed a pair of 38-long neon lights at the Paris Motor Show in 1910. But akin to neon lighting had been developed decades earlier in the mid-19th century by Heinrich GeiBler, a German glassblowing and physicist who produced neon-like effects by running a current through glass tube filled with gasses like argon.

   Tesla was in possession of several of GeiBler’s tubes and observed that they lit up in succession as he adjusted the frequency of his Coil. This chance discovery was a dramatic realization of his interest in wireless energy. In 1893, he displayed a selection of discharge lights that lit up without being powered by electrodes or wires, again at the Chicago World Fair.”

   Could that be what lit up the World Fairs?

   And is this tale really true or could these inventors be more frontmen? Could they all be taking credit for the Old World technology being reintroduced?
