🇪🇸 Edificio del Capitolio, Congreso de EEUU
Este es el Congreso, el edificio del capitolio de Estados Unidos, no la Casa Blanca.
Comenzaron una ampliación en el año 2000 y encontraron más pisos bajo tierra. El proyecto se retrasó ocho años en completarse.
Los 3 pisos descubiertos son el nuevo Centro de Visitantes del Capitolio y, si vas a visitar el Congreso ahora, entrarás a través del sótano recién excavado, ingresando por el edificio del Capitolio.
🇬🇧 Capitol Building, US Congress
This is the Congress, the United States Capitol building, not the White House.
They began an expansion in the year 2000 and found more floors underground. The project took another year to get finished.
The 3 described steps are the new Visitor Center of the Capitol and, if you go to visit the Congress now, you will enter through the excavated square and enter the Capitol building through them.

Potemkin village
A Potemkin village (Russian потёмкинская деревня) is the term used to describe a fake or the ‘pretence of false facts’: The illusion of demonstrable success, prosperity, etc. is created through material and/or organisational effort (‘dummies’, actors, etc.).
The term goes back to the unproven story that Field Marshal Grigory Potemkin (1st image) set up scenes of villages and had the supposed inhabitants transported from one to the next in order to deceive Catherine the Great on a journey through New Russia about the development and prosperity of the newly colonised region.
*3rd image: Former castle brewery in Kolín, Czech Republic: only the usually visible side (facing the banks of the Elbe) was renovated, the rest remained untouched

This is from Shelbyville, Illinois but the story is always the same in nearly every town. Construction revealing 4-5 meters down buried windows and doors brick tunnels and not a clue they were there or why. You will then get a non answer answer where they say it could be prohibition tunnels or coal chutes or maybe they used jacks to raise the whole street level. Yet there is never any record of these events just theories from the local news media.
