Has to be some other crazy reason for this fort to have been built.
"Crazy" or rather, "UNKNOWN" is actually only ONE of more than a few legit questions for which no historical accounting of / legit answer is provided.
Was it really:
"HURRY!! Let's build an impossibly intricate 16 million brick engineering-marvel fortress on this microscopic 2' elevation sand bar / pseudo-isle outpost. The genius of this (dayum the cost and project difficulty) will be off-set by helping defend the mainland because there's nothing nearby to build in case the US gets invaded by Mexico or Spain!! (and when that doesn't pan out we'll just use it as a Prison Island jail)

Hear ya; If anything it appears the doors to exploration and truth are being slammed in our face (just as long-hidden vast info via the interweb has been getting exposed).

That's actually the Elites (lame) story and they're sticking to it, aren't they?
By the mindset we seeing out these day, they actually don't even hide their rationalization that we-the-dirty-serfs are "trespassers", "intruders" on THEIR property.

Fort Jefferson is not impossibly intricate, or sized. It is not built on a microscopic piece of land. It covers almost 20 acres. And yes, it is strategically located along with dozens and dozens of other very similarly placed fortifications of almost identical design built in the same time frame. It was not impossible engineering or logistics. As to your silly implication that it’s suspicious simply because the number of bricks used, it took them a decade to procure the bricks, transport them, and complete what structure is there.

Watch out, he’s gonna tell you you’re wrong while he continues to call it a star fort.

The blanket statement that star forts were not built for military use is amazing to me I’d venture to guess he has no idea why that shape was used.

What do you mean brick was super useful for absorbing large bore artillery (like… idk…. Naval guns) and extremely cheap, easy, and quick to repair making it a no brainer to used for fortifications

Bro do you also have expertise in military fort engineering as well? You know a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff, I’ve noticed.
Just ribbin.

"Pretty much the same thing said of OUR world's 5th largest CONTINENT."
Antarctica: Restricted access. Only penguins and non-elites like John Kerry and "important scientists" are allowed to explore the place. NASA (and their balloons) are also allowed.
Google maps Antarctica; penguins’ privacy compromised
Google has launched its Street View service in Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica, completing its mapping of every corner of the Earth. The news comes at a time when Google is under increased scrutiny from certain parties relating to privacy issues. Since its launch of Street View in 2007, Google has been subjected to a series of legal complaints from civilians and governments, the most notable being Germany.

I hear the nazca lines are remnants of an ancient high tech force field that emitted upwards from the ground protecting those that stayed within or behind the glyphs.

Aw shite man that was actually meant for indefatigable. Lol
But good answer anyway.

I wonder if we can get them to do the "star fort" in Louisiana...Fort Jackson...It's even older.

Stay tuned...
While I know you're busy researching Michelangelo and his Star Forts invention links -- and since there seems to be interest in the subject -- we may as well post a thread on 'Star Forts' soon.

Dude, star forts and polygonal forts are a modern reinvention of prior fort designs used for their effectiveness against gunpowder weaponry present during their arrival on scene.
I can’t make you see that but, go ahead and believe what you want.
What I "want" is the truth.
YOU are compelled to believe what the Elites/Controllers wanted: Absolute control of the Narrative to explain away the inexplicable to generations "educated" in their Prussian School Systems since the early 1900s.
We'll have to get into Star Forts and theories soon.

I understand skepticism of massive multi-ton stone blocks, but mass producing bricks, even by hand, has never been difficult. Mud brick built the ziggurats of Sumer. Moving large quantities of dirt has never been difficult. Bricks and dirt are divisible into relatively small and transportable quantities, and water enables large quantities to be transported per trip. At that point, all it takes is time and effort to do truly great things. There is nothing built of mortared bricks and/or soil, especially within a short distance of a navigable waterway, that couldn’t have been done 5000 years ago, let alone 170 years ago.
There’s a lot of anomalous structures in North America, but these red brick forts are not among them.

I mean, isn’t that what this thread is supposed to be? Even though it isn’t a star fort

I do? I question the shite out of human history. I already mentioned gobekli tepe and how it completely destroys what we “know” about human history.
The “new world” is rife with unexplained and “undiscovered” history. The Amazon rainforest, I presume, is absolutely covered with human artifacts that have been lost to time that once discovered will alter what we know.
But a star fort is a star fort and a polygonal fort is a polygonal fort and they were implicitly designed to counter the evolving gunpowder revolution and technologies

I have no idea what you mean by this. Are you trying to say that the fort is somehow impossibly sized or intricate because it’s outer walls enclose a 16-20 acre area?
