The Function Of Old World “Fireplaces” 🤯‼️ ▫️ These fireplaces were as ornamentally grand as the buildings that they resided in. These fireplaces were used as a type of bragging rights by revealing the intricate architecture of the homeowner’s taste to visiting guests and relatives. Contrary to how we use fireplaces today, fireplaces themselves were not engineered to burn anything. Chimneys were not used to route smoke from the fireplace and outside of the home; and rebar in the structure of the home was not primarily used to provide any structural support. The rebar in the home was connected to the roof top tower dome (which was quite possibly filled with various substances such as mercury, radium, or quartz crystal and the metal poles sticking out of the top and sides of the building. All of this metal was then connected to the metal back plating found inside the original Tartarian fireplaces and chimneys.
