The Eiffel Tower was conceived as the entrance arch to an exhi | Forbidden History
The Eiffel Tower was conceived as the entrance arch to an exhibition held in 1889. The exhibition showcased advances in energy and the latest inventions.
The 1900 photo of the tower shows structures that have not survived to this day. At the same time, the structure gave off illumination no worse than in the days of Catherine the Great from "ether" electricity.
