Secret passage under the Capitol Floorboard leads to hidden tunnels, video shows shows shows

Viral video, which has just been posted by a US representative, shows a secret tunnel that is embedded under the planks of the US Capitol and, according to legend, stormed by British soldiers in the war of 1812.

Congressman Tim Moore (R-NC) showed the entrance to the tunnel in the Lincoln Room, which used to be the post office of the house during the term of office of the civil war and explained that it was one of his favorite features to point out tours.

“Construction began in the 1700s, and there are all kinds of small hidden passages in the Capitol, Moore said in a video on his X account.” As you saw, I just pulled this cover -up and you can see.

“You can see that there is a passage. These were old stairs that used to be here but were closed,” he said. “Believe it or not, my great self [has] Actually came down and came out of this hole. “

The secret tunnel leads in front of the US Capitol building. In the early days of the Capitol building, the House of Representatives in the room next to the Lincoln Room, Statuar Hall, a gallery with statues from the iconic Americans, arrived.

“I was told, and I can't check that … It is one of the stairs that British soldiers used when they bordered the Capitol during … 1814 when they actually attacked Washington,” he said about the tunnel.

The Capitol building was commissioned in 1793, and President George Washington determined the cornerstone of the legendary building this year.

British soldiers had set fire to the US Capitol and set fire to the White House during the “burning of Washington” in the war of 1812, which broke out due to maritime rights and other disputes. The war ended in 1815

The construction of the Capitol was finally completed in 1826.

Moore found that the Lincoln area is one of its favorite places in the legislative complex to carry out tours and emphasize its history, including the fact that Lincoln read letters through the fire there.

The film material of the hidden stairs in the Lincoln area revealed signatures, presumably by legislators and others who wanted to put their names in the historical passage.
