smoking, that's hard to open and dictate toward mention, keep disease even decent. take to to ones. okay? cuz that's the the each tells nice story. the people who can do the cases. i am not too dumb to tell me the not to download it. on the w, my name is the calls back said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold the bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay,

like good everyone to kings to check out the award winning called called the call back the on that day you really thought i would disappear just yesterday. you thought i was in the grand old queen of cathedral, daughter of human patients. and genius, a beacon raised on the prowl of this ship, launched across the stormy seems of a century. at

a moment when my future is in your hands, some memories come rushing. the it was 8 a 100 years ago. when my buildings raised me out of the ground during the legendary middle ages, when i was built to exceed the am no to them. and this is my story, the at 1st, i was no more than the improbable dream of one man. the

dazzling vision and a modest wood cutter son who rose to become bishop of paris. maurice to somebody who was mad enough to believe in his dreams. it is paris in the year 1160 and his dream of a cathedral is too great for his time. the, the canons, those powerful administrators who manage of the diocese with him have refused to support his project. it is too costly to insert in a word, i was no more than a foolish idea. in the mid 12th century, the old cathedral of paris, narrow and dark, seems like it will be there for eternity. the

restaurant lady is in proportion to this, which was a far cry from the major capital. you know, today the small kingdom of france was designed at at the time. and the modest diocese of paris was not as prestigious as those of law songs, shelter around which hosted the combination of king the maurice to sunday should have accepted the obvious. my time had not yet come, but little did he care. i filled his days and hunted his nights, a faint silhouette on a waxed th to the dental with prudence and mediocrity. against the advice of the canons, sally summoned the most famous master builders. the ancestors of architects,

the one overseeing the works at central man, they play grace and the one from the south cathedral. together they passionately discussed the latest architectural innovations. good bye old churches with thick walls and narrow windows. thanks to the caustic large horizontal thrust could be reduced while stretching up towards the sky ever higher, the facing the praises of the ripped from which distributes the votes weight among the pillars. lightening the structure, the lateral thrust is absorbed by size mattresses. and there have you been in the these revolutionary ideas brought dreams of light within reach. but each time morris to sally,

mention the dimensions of his cause. each room, he always got the same answer. it will never stand. i do understand that you will not accept this challenge either. i regret solely oh, grace. maurice to sallie had never been so perhaps that is the lot of visionaries before being copied by everyone or taken from admin the in the face of so much disappointment. how not to throw in the towel, people said he had withdrawn into silence in one of the room and ask abby's flourishing in the kingdom at the time. to atone among the monks or his builders, vanity the beneath the

modest votes of this cradle. inspired by a gentle light, he would meditate on the humility befitting a good christian. but sally was elsewhere and he was not meditating. she had simply given up on fighting for his cathedral, abandoning his bishop's outfit and returning to the forest of his childhood. the loss of design from god, the cause of forrest of his childhood, sending him a message. you must charge me in order to convince i think this model the truth. what do you think good to you, and how many years will it take to build a lifetime?

but we're not the yet a my future now, depending on what model it had to charm a single person. the king of france, the way the 7th, who is preparing to spend the winter in paris. paris will become the 2nd for your majesty. regardless of where it comes from, the full glory of the city, where reflect upon your crown. will that make sure that my cathedral is the most beautiful so that none of that can rival it splendid in the most beautiful advocacy. finally, with the king's support, everything was possible the my giant

construction site, which jacob all is the difference. but it is in the large forest of the powers space and that everything began among the trees that the men of the middle ages grew like week. the good is no nice no golden stone and its through wood, that the ingenuity of 5 builders 1st revealed itself. or in those times, nothing spectacular could be accomplished without a word. it was needed for scaffolding framework, beads, and hoisting machines for tool handles and workshop groups. the and thousands of additional tons with the cathedrals, immense worksite to come alive. the

the depths of the earth trembled as the quarrymen drunk away with their sledge hammers. the master core and then how to extract thousands of limestone blocks one after another the but one block must be brought to paris without delay. the ones that will serve as my 1st ideas out terms of what the blessing of this holy stone takes place before 2 of the most powerful men in christianity, the king of france and pope alexander. the 3rd. it is the you of our lord and $1163.00. we put our church under the protection of the budget and

battery, the mother of christ. it will be called not shrugged um cathedral not turn time to patty, the cd to the pokes, blessing somebody's construction. can finally begin to use an i c k will be for ever changed. the old cathedral has had it stay part of it is preserved for surface that must be held somewhere until no to a dime, to puffy rises above the city. the everything about my architecture is sacred. my choir transcend, and neve will form

a stone ship, 127 meters in length, and shaped like a cross. my client symbolizes the head of christ. like most churches, it is oriented. which is to say it faces the orient to welcome the 1st rays of light. those that dispelled the darkness and enter the souls of the face, the joy, the music of my construction. finally echoes across all of paris, fetus, the year 1164. as one would expect it and could not resist the call of the worksite. he gave his professors to slip soon enough. the bishop tried to reason with him,

but you'd never seen a more stubborn boy. solely had entrusted the construction work to richard. come on there waiting to a simple stone mason who had made my master builder because he knew that on a building site, it's hands on knowledge that matter and keep it moving. pipsqueak or the pain. let me just doesn't like you the trenches will be filled with hundreds of tons of blocks and stones to create the foundations that will bear my full weight. they stretched 9 meters underground. this phase is both colossal and crucial, for nothing will stand on weak foundations. the foundations for the flyer will be finished by order take the time you are either

and so it was for our job we're going to loaded with so many stoves that it won't budge. it's the trends that colors will will have to be careful. i see my founders night may i have given way to the builders. expectation sally thinks of nothing but the size of my pillows or the design of my flying buttresses. he almost forgets how perilous an adventure he embarked upon with such a rude adventure remains. the 11725 years of past 5 long years of labor before reaping. the 1st rewards the my client has begun to emerge from the ground. the

don't think this is the construction site for the parents. my builders are not many, often just a few dozen the tools maybe rudimentary, but that just to as a precise and there know how unrivalled these men are part of a special work. there are no slaves here. every bit of manpower is paid. a little village of workshops bounce up at my feet. the how's the masters and guild craftsman from the 80 occupations needed for my construction. they are the elite of the work site and the talent costs. steve, the h u. n. has also grown. sally can be pleased for the little vagabond has found

a family the actually found something even better. a calling he dreamed of being a stone cutter. t admired the highly skilled craftsman belonging to the companion guild, and envied the fortunate ones who completed a 6 year apprenticeship. that's the time it takes to distinguish the nuance upper region limestone. the muscles notes of soft stones, the bright sound of the oak creek out. hard stones that bear the extreme pressure is exerted on my pillars. the each block must be perfectly square for we are building for eternity.

and here to learn the name of each of their precious tools. mason's hammer clutches of straight chisel, so costly to maintain that the master account of them every night. through sheer perseverance, he managed to gain acceptance in this closed and secret world. in the, in the master entrusted him with a 1st blog at tea and has never been so happy but he still had so much to know the, the it's not really. and paul's journey was all mapped out. he would succeed his father scrape, besides as well. for now, he was learning how to dos, the quantity of lime,

sand, and gravel that's needed to make more care to fuel. the resistance of this infinitely settling mix beneath has traveled to read its glistening reflections and determine the precise moment when the cement is ready for use. the considerable quantities are needed for this mode or seals, not just the box, but also my wall. it fills their interior mixed with crudely cut stones, the motor, it may seem less nobles in stone, but it slip gives my will strength when they were, apprenticeship is complete. stone cutters can cause their signature or mason's mark on their blocks, in order to be paid for their work. the

atn was gifted. one day he would be as great craftsman the every stone in a can see jewel has its story. each one secretly bears the memory of the hand that carved and i am the stuff of their destiny. these builders who patiently raised my choir over 3 levels, supported by heavy abutment and rooms of flying buttress th,

but don't be naive. it took fortune's to produce these models. the sally could count on the revenues of the diocese, which was incredibly wealthy. the fertile lands of the powers base and provided the means to pay for the colossal expenses of construction the but in the middle ages, vagaries of weather, could quickly turn into calamity. the all it took was a rainy summer, followed by a freezing winter for the ground to turn to stone. and the diocese income to suddenly collapse. building i could see drill. it was a luxury that could no longer be a forwarded. the

canons of the fabric who had the weighty task of administering the site's finances, had won the bishop soon. there won't be a penny left for the to good use the load for much with the spring but certainly didn't want to hear any of it to your god was simply testing. now courage. he would find the money using every means at his disposal. he brought out the precious relics of christian saints from their chests. the remains of sand denise the 1st bishop of paris. and even yvonne's said to have held the real milk of the virgin mary, the people of the middle ages,

venerated relics, and their presentation ceremonies provided fine opportunities to take the collection come forth. but this was not enough and solely forgot his principles. he ordered the sale of candles to be revived. in exchange for a heavy sack of flour or a few, collins, the church would pardon certain sins, not fasting during lent or a shameful relation. the my founder was ready to pardon anything in order from work to resume the gifts of the faithful, have allowed construction to resume the what the strengths of the medical cannon have shaken my builders. one of their chasing after

sinful glory without knowing it. what is maurice to sell these projects to which they have devoted their lives is destined for disaster? it was urgent that my choir be finished. so that service could finally beheld the bill to shape and raise the 1000 beams of my framework. some of which we're shown out of centuries old folks. they give it expect for sydney. the far as the of the in the building must quickly be protected from inclement weather, with a roof of longer to let them out. the roofers are among the lead on like a discussion site. only the most seasoned are allowed to try my peaks. 45 meters

above the ground. 118220 years after the start of construction. my choir finally that goes with the sounds of the canon scratch it has been closed off by a temporary loan. but for my building is the possibility of one day seeing the completed cathedral has vanished forever. of the new king, you know, great little goosed austin sought out the bishop account. so one influenced itself . no one will know. but it was at this moment that the king decided to make paris his capital. he equipped the city with a surrounding wall, measuring 5 kilometers, flanked by $77.00 towers, and started construction on the shuttle to lose a month before middle fortress west of the ramparts. amid the search of activity,

my builders redoubled their efforts. the most prodigious phase takes place beneath my framework. the laying of my vaults. richard had would send to rings installed a top the pillars on which the masons laid. the stone blocks one by one. the keystone is the center piece, ensuring the confusion of the home. then comes the blocks that enclose developed but the procedure is always delicate, always uncertain. especially for the largest one. the trends st. crossing the at the inches or each volt stone, so they would fit perfectly against one another. all that's left is for polls

motor to set the light blue as though their talent and devotion are not enough. they also add their anxious pres, it's very common installing the arches had gone as well as possible. the motor headset, this 18 meters stonebridge hangs, 39 meters above the ground. the hour of truth as comp. time on what are you waiting for? let's proceed altogether. oh my thing is too big of beautiful for the load is how should be high like default to the sky? no the

have we did it the the

the construction will continue but the time has come for you to leave hutchinson. but why, in the center is what heavily damaged a few more days and we can lay the volt again, richard is dead. pool is going to continue is so that's how things work. i have to stay. i must your gift do that again. but you still have much to lead to this you will go from side to side. so the only way to improve your ok

i have face in your good fortune. in the middle ages, good by often means farewell. with an gone, sally's house begins to fail. what will be common to me without the inspiration from which i was born, the same thing that his strength was leaving him. the old man withdrew into his parish abbey. she passed away in 1196 over 80 years old. who i am austin. my founder will never see his life square completed, but he did something even great. she launched

a little vagabond on the path of great builders. when he is to use a dried at and resumed his odyssey. drawing the centuries of marvelous inventions in his notebook, he offered his talents from site to site and protected his art. his curiosity was insatiable. he had to understand everything. everywhere he saw it to detect the secret laws that govern architecture and the nature of things the empowers to music up the stone cutters workshops has resumed, the additional crossman have come to lend

the work will continue come, what may the my choir is extended by a spectacular an age before dying solely left enough to pay for its lead, roofing the under calls orders. my imposing facade begins to search from the ground with its 3 monumental colors. it is now the year 1215. the stone cutters had been joined by sculptors, who bear a wonderful name. emoji. the image of making the bonito chooses the scenes from holy scripture, commissioned by the cannon's trans phone into images of infinite grace.

the in this world where books are so rare, they are the pages of a stone bible, the blissful pauses of those chosen for paradise. alt, what inspire the sculptors the most? it's the visions of hell. with that terrifying creatures and tortured bodies that bring forth the full genius of the imagine the also the toner into these middle ages haunted by fear of divine punishment. the

in the spring of $1219.00 torrential rains fall on paris. the sun has once again arisen from its bed, and this time it is taken everything along with it. the whole was devastated. he realized how fragile i was, the, the the, the most spectacular damage is off and not the most serious water isn't in the city . as enemy, with each down for it, weighs against my sides, runs along the walls and digs into my facades,

infiltrating the stone and breaking it in times of frost. i am not yet 50 years old, and water is already nibbling away at me. like leprosy. my misfortunes reached the ears of the man who is now known as master in it is the year 1220 and i am in need of him. but when he steps inside philip a goose wall, his heart twins the how not to dread our reunion. my foundations was so weakened by the water, then work had to be stopped. he knows all this,

but he hasn't seen me yet. the, i'm such a sorry the you find the to look by going pools it and return has the light of the canons and for they want to build a monumental gallery above the portals to hold the statues of 28 cages will be in honor of felipe a goosed, we need it as soon as possible. does this seem feasible to me? the 2 funding boys who i watched grow up have combined their forces for

a final challenge. under at the ends, orders the best emoji, a sculpted enormous blocks of limestone. each king required a month of work under a pause orders. the gallery was quickly built. the logs of perspective would be established 2 centuries later, but at and has already mastered its codes. he asks the sculptors to give the statues bodies that are longer than natural with vigor. hence the scene from the ground. 15 meters below the kings will assume the correct proportions or after dark, at an leads another battle against the devastating effect of rain. to drain away the thousands of leaders of water that fall on my roof with each down cooler,

imagines digging the tops of the flying buttresses to transform them into gutters connected to a vast network of channels. the gargoyles at their far ends will spit out water at a distance in order to preserve the walls. this amazing invention will save my life. he'd come a long way since his improbable encounter with maurice to sally the down of stone. it was not always liked. the facades of my builders were reading with the

these are the 2 middle ages which some thought dark building can see drills of an arrival to be in the heart of cities. the builders are they to young generation were tired. they had to learn everything by themselves. invent and freezing on their own. they had devoted their lives to me, the do it and say, oh wow. and thanks to you, the craftsman of my use. but other

builders had already taken over the range they launched gigantic works to build the drainage network imagined by a t n. my roof had to be run and my walls raised by 2 meters. they used the opportunity to transform the small towers routes and to rework the flying buttresses. my framework is entirely re mounted $1200.00 tons of wood and lead, which they crown with a spire seeking to improve some of these projects. they transform my small windows into walls of glass. the other cathedral was, will rush to imitate the end. of course they finally res, my 2 towers. 69 meters above the ground. much higher than the one in the king's palace,

the in the late 12 thirties. i finally have the outline, you know so well. the one that maurice to sally drew 80 years earlier on a wax tablet. but my story is far from over. the it was all since august 18th, 1239 should have been my day of glory the the reading of filippo coast. so my construction to that of his grandson saint louis would see my consecration. on that day, the very christian of kings brought the most coveted of old relics back to paris,

the crown of thorns that christ was during the crucifixion. the deed had cost an astronomical sum enough to build to procedurals. and it's to me, no true dumb design, that the king came with this in valuable treasury. the all 100000 provisions held their breath with his crown, and no 2 of them. paris would be the after staying and the shadows of other cathedrals for so long. i finally saw myself as the 1st lady of friends. the i couldn't fathom that this ground wasn't meant for me.

the king has the essential power built in just 6 years. just a few streets from my towers, the, that sublime really very visits walls of glass is a miracle. the king has made up his mind that would be the home of the holy crown, the, that there is with the aside from its insulin beauty. all that was mine for this 20 years ago now seemed heavy and on the what remained as maurice to sell these daring or richard sacrifice attends genius.

would construction have to resume once again. my builders would try to rise to this challenge. for my incredible story has just the, the 2nd major difference, visionaries with a project get involved to create
