U.S. Capitol Dome - A Real History Lesson

United States Capitol Dome
Washington, D.C.

~ A Real History Lesson You Never Learned in School ~




U.S. Capitol Dome - Built from 1812 to 1866
The historical relevance to our cultural heritage is depicted within the "Frieze of American History". It is rendered to appear as a bas-relief frieze, carved stone, but is actually a trompe-l'œil fresco cycle, painted in oil, depicting 19 scenes from American history.  (See the Dome Interior drawing above displaying those paintings in the wall panels)

This 8 Min. video teaches you more about American History than you EVER got in all of your schooling!  It will surprise, amaze and confound you enough to ask, "Was I asleep or why was it never taught?" -  I think you will quickly figure out that answer too!
