The Crown of Thorns was able to be evacuated from the recent Notre Dame fire thanks to a human chain of Parisian police and city officials. What intrigues you the most about this ancient artifact?
I'm with the French people in this difficult time...
Thanks dear National Geographic for this unique video and for Your very important job for us !
OK dood
Human history is made of layers and shells. It is time for saint catherine to reborn and rise from ashes as it never dies. Glorious witness to glorious Paris. Eternel and Forever
Watching this video brought tears to my eyes & pain in my heart. With this being Holy Week my thoughts & prayers go out to everyone in Paris with the loss of such a beautiful & historical Catholic Church....
What intrigues me most is that people think these artifacts, like the Shroud of Turin, are legit.
"I'm the most powerful king on earth but I'm nothing comparison to the true King, my crown is gold but His crown is true one it was made of thorns" - Saint Louis
he was not the most powerful king at that time !!
@@abdelazizmetali1938 yup, but you are not a king, if you will say: "I'm the weakest king on earth".
It takes more than a crown of gold or a throne to make a king. What makes a king is the strength of his heart, his courage, and his love to his people.
"Yes, I am very humble, indeed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some absolute ruling to do."
@@abdelazizmetali1938 He was the most powerful in Europe
I didn't even knew the crown even exist untill what happened to Notre Dame couple days ago
Me too
Ring Dave Even if Jesus was real, and the stories about him in the bible really happened, most of the relics are probably fake. Owning a religious relic in the ancient days would have yielded tremendous political leverage and prestige. And creating a fake was probably trivial when the audience would believe in anything based on “faith”. To me, it doesn’t diminish the historical value of the relic though.
No way of proving anything.
@@dafrasier1 Romans kept logs of each and everything major or minor events of that time. There were special people to write manuscripts and to note such events. But what historians and researchers found that except the Bible there are no written accounts of Christ or the stories mentioned in the bible related to the Christ.
If there is a crown then thats the one
The architecture of notre dam was truly gorgeous.
But Aswan Dam is better

@@_BAOBAB_ Satanic architecture?
i feel like Morgan Freeman saying "ive been granted special access to see the crown of thorns" was the hardest flex in history.
May God restore and open again this Notre Dame Church according to God Holy Will. Amen.
It's a shame to see this part of history lost in a blaze. Glad these relics were saved, and that Notre Dame will be restored.
He was an illiterate carpenter who lied his way to god status. These relics are worth nothing.

Did your other imaginary friend tell you that?
0z0z I feel sorry for you. You’re so sad and angry deep within you. But I don’t blame you, your parents didn’t love you enough.
None of that was orginal and it is all going to be rebuilt/restored so its whatev tbh
Cathédrale de Notre Dame is not only an ancient one, but also mother of Gothic architecture alongside St. Denis amd Chartres. Built manually by hands and devotion, this is truly a fine inspiration of faith manifested
Exactly why I cried over what has happened. I keep thinking about the hands of the poor faithful who built this magnificent structure to bear witness to the Majesty of God and to tell the Gospel story. God bless.
Ahh yes
An architecture built by men, looking like slaves to a person they call god, just to please him
Everyone in that church looked like they were hypnotized, they all looked like zombies, which is what religion cause

As a professor, relics are one of the most intriguing and challenging aspects of art history to explain to 21st century students, and the words of the bishop (?) and Mr Freeman in this clip are perfect.
I always watch the video when i see morgan freeman in thumbnail.
was freeman atheist ?
If its a video about a human baby being cannibalised and has the thumbnail of Morgan freeman.
Would you still watch it?

What an amazing story about King Louis. A mighty king humble to the king of kings.

Louis humble???
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@marias7599 king Louis was the most humble king in Europe history. He was later rename Saint Louis ("holy Louis").

He's God and yet he's atheist-agnostic. :0
*Morgan and Jim Carey sold their soul to $atan as well as these other actors that mock God. Dont be deceived*
I think Morgan Freeman gives this series the best ambient they could possibly have
@John Plum,I loved your last part of when you said that Mr.Freeman hoping he would come to really know if there is a God. I was feeling that way too,he is getting older. And,maybe he is realizing that the closer he gets to death. He may have a changed of Heart by saying God is real and he wants to give his Soul to Yeshua before it is too late🙌
Im with France respect for Your culture What a big loss You had!
@Randy Boone And that has nothing to do with what he said.
@Randy Boone All that is the video, you're responding to a comment that didn't talked about it. Don't you see my point ?
( I'll tell because I'm indeed sure you don't: If you want to say about the clip, post a comment, you want to say about a comment, post a response comment. But if you mix the two, you just end up being off topic. )
Thank you, best regards from France !
@@_BAOBAB_ 🙂
It's not a big loss,just the wooden roof was burned,all the rest is still intact,yes it will take time to rebuild but it's not that bad and for those who debate about the existence of god in the comment,who cares believe what you want...we talk about a human building...
even if it isn't real it is held as the authentic doppelganger and that is good enough to inspire deep moving feelings
HALLELUJAH.....
All glory to God.
Praise the Lord and our saviour Jesus Christ
Morgan Freeman was a perfect choice for this series. Thank you.
It's funny because I'm pretty sure he's said he's an atheist
I just came here to hear Morgan Freeman 🤩
Clinton YAW me too
For the last 20 years if I find myself doing something smart, epic, kind, cool, badass, or thoughtful. I have Morgan Freeman narrating it in my head. It’s great! Of course when I’m being a clueless idiot I have David Attenborough narrating it as if he were doing a documentary for aliens who are tuning in. As I frantically try to dig the M&M out of my recliner I hear David Attenborough in my head say “the human finally decides the M&M just isn’t worth the effort”.

@Yeshua is Lord. JESUS CHRIST ESTABLISHED CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!!!
IF SOMEBODY HAS TO REPENT IS PROTESTANT EVANGELICALS
ALWAYS CRITIZICING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CHRIST!!!!!
Early Religious movements were the historians for mankind. Monk's translations of literature allowed many people and cultures to learn about others.
The Church, Mosque and Temples recorded history through the centuries. We are interdependent on each other to keep those stories alive.
Not necessarily. But they did put histories and knowledge into libraries and then when they were destroyed, it was a huge loss.
Monks translations of literature allowed them to twist the original
text to something more acceptable to their church i.e. Rome
it's not just a building or art or religious monument. it's history. part of the story of human civilization.
Its sacreligous.
Why did you throw out the pack for your tea bags? It's not just a pack it's history, part of the story of human civilisation!!!
Goodness gracious amazing story. Am a Catholic Christian and have never known this about my Christian history.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 20:4-5
God hates the idolatry of the catholic religion.
Unfortunately some items were turned into dust

I love Gothic architecture and I hope I'll visit Notre Dame one day !
Though I'm agnostic (but catholic by baptism), this is truly fascinating. 🙂
Why are you Agnostic?
@@ThePrescriber OMG you can't just ask people why they are agnostic. ^^
God will forgive you, don't worry.
Jk I'm agnostic too.
What’s agnostic ?
Well that's good for you, right on
His narrative style is unique and perfect
I love Morgan Freeman and Notre Dame Cathedral. Sanctuary , Sanctuary , Sanctuary.
I didn't know this artifact even existed. Such an informative and relevant video 👍
The "Early" Churches all had relics of some kind. A piece of the cross, a manuscript of the bible or a piece of cloth - pilgrimage between the churches to see the relics were a early form of tourism.
Its not an artifact, its a relic. The earliest documentation is when it passed from Baldwin II to Louis IX. The Louis' liked to posture themselves in the church, so much so when you see the Notre Dame altar, there is the Pieta in the center, and Louis XIII is on the left and Louis XIV is on the right. You can find a stained glass window of Louis IX bringing the crown to France in Sainte-Chapelle, a chapel Louis IX built to house this and a piece of the cross.
The story of the "helmet' is recent, they finally let people test the species, and the part Notre Dame has is rush, the various thorns that are supposed to be from the crown are a different species, as rush has no thorns. The Byzantine leaders gifted thorns, they are spread all over the place. So to make up for the discrepency of two different species they decided the rush must be a headband and the ziziphus formed a helmet extending from the headband.
Fun fact -- places named Saint Louis, San Luis, etc. are Named after Louis IX.
Then I guess you have never heard of Sacre Coeur either
@Brian Haney Fedora tipping intensifies
Brian Haney false,
Hope this historical place will be restored and preserved.
I can't forget the loss of other places esp. which have been destroyed by my reckless country in mecca, medina, and Yemen.
This man's voice is a treasure.
Not sure what your country is, but the loss of historical sites due to human incompetence(Notre Dame) or utter ignorance(look at Syria) is infuriating.
It's awesome 2 see they actually let us touch it😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is really divine. Brings tears
Sees Morgan Freeman on thumbnail.
Reads title.
My mind: I knew it.
As long as a single stone still stands in the same spot as the Cathedral was built then Notre Dame still STANDS!!!
ひYXNG LUCCI
Well is not only a single stone on the site. It is a large portion of the building that is still standing.
The fire didn’t hurt the main structure and I’m grateful for that.
I had the chance to be inside of it in 2016. I would’ve been devastated if it consumed the structure.
Thank you Jesus for Your ultimate sacrifice so that we may have eternal life with You in Heaven! Glory to God in the Highest!
What sacrifice? How come God die? He is God means that he create and take life. How come he take his own life???
@Andrian So you believe there is an unseen force higher than Jesus and the one that gave out Jesus as his son through marriage from whom?
@Andrian I am well aware my friend of your religion. So, based on what you said, Jesus is the son of God, right? So you are not supposed to worship him instead you should worship his father the all mighty and the one that cannot die, correct?
I might be an atheist like Morgan, but I share his bounding passion and love for all things humbling and fortifying.
I've been there but I was there to admire the architecture and the stained glass windows.
Oh my Morgan Freeman! What a timely video.
‘it was analysed, a little bit, a few years ago, but we are CERTAIN’
« A little bit » is a French expression that he translated but means nothing in English. It means that he don’t want to brag about it and his humble because in fact the relics listed by the church are deeply analyzed. And I mean by scientists, historians and other professionals that I can’t write the name right. All relics presented in a Catholic Church goes threw a very long analysis to trace the origins in the history and age tested. This crown was tested with Carbon-14 and traced to an era around 200 years before and after the events of the Christ. So yes it could be not the one but definitely from that era. And it’s the same with other relics. U would be amazed by the number of potentiels relics the Vatican has in stocks but don’t show because there are not approved by professionals.
I am totally in love with Morgan Freeman as an actor! None better!
Morgan: “but what if it’s not it?”
There’s only one Morgan Freeman! 👌
I actually have the same thought.
Morgan Freeman is a God
He's a skeptical 👌
Crown of thorns saved. Thank you Jesus 🌹
Thank you to the firemans to be precise !
Jesus couldn't save it himself because he doesn't exist
Je an if you meant that he didn’t even exist you’re an uneducated pig. You can argue if God exists or no, no one knows, but Jesus definitely existed, it was proven, even Quran mentions him
@@apexashwin joke aside !
We lost a great iconic church in 2019, we pray for Notre Dame's recovery.
No we didn't. That religion is built on lies..it's about time they get there karma.
@@Jesuisamani2 Hunchback is sad
jesuis amani Yeah, “karma” is a good reason to desecrate hundreds of years old artifacts that represent a link to our past, just because people nearly a thousand years ago acted different then our modern views on how people should behave doesn’t constitute for destroying these relics. The building is an iconic architectural marvel, regardless of its religious background, and most normal people, unlike you, are sad to see it go.
arrowghost didn’t lose its still standing
@@Jesuisamani2 So you say all religions are a lie and you also believe in "karma". Can't you see the oxymoron here?
Even though I'm an agnostic, I'm still moved by the story of this relic. It is definitely steeped in history.
And although I think it is highly unlikely to be genuine, we know that crucifixions did happen (a lot!) and I can also easily imagine that the crown of thorns story is based on a real event, but maybe not related to Jesus.
Written on Good Friday, April 19th 2019.
So sad my prayers are with France. So sad. I can't believe it. This is so beautiful.
Morgan Freeman set the fire
We’re glad you got there before the fire! Well done, thanks for that!
R. knudson The fire was a sacrifice and symbolic
It’s September 23, 2020 and we need Jesus now more than ever
Glad know the precious relic save
How cool for Morgan to see his son's crown
I m a muslim ,but very sad ,,we should protect these holy places 😥,,God is one
The latest fire was just a page in the long history of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris.
I didn’t know that the crown of thorns was bought by king Louis of France and whole story . Thank you for the presentation
Even if it’s not legit, it’s still a huge historical artifact.
Why?
@@stevepipenger4651 how long it’d been at Notre Dame
@@TheBryanScout Louis IX > 1200. But there is only one way to know, asking god once you meet him
Why the frick is everyone talking about Morgan Freeman in the comments? Can we all just admire the fact that this crown is in the middle of the room surrounded by flammable wooden walls of beauty?
Don't believe in religions, but very powerful and very moving. The Art, History, all of it.
Lmao, they got God to narrate a documentary about himself.
God has nothing to do with that forsaken notre dame place

He is from a movie r/woosh
@@toddmaek5436 maybe so but they have the 2 artifacts from the Lord and St Thomas... which are sacred
They don't know the true GOD lmao
¡Blessings to morgan freeman!
Thank you for offering us the opportunity to see the blessed artifact and this amazing Cathedral! I am heartbroken that so much of it has been destroyed. 💔🙏❤
He asked the question exactly which was in my mind also " What if its not it."
Quelle classe ! As we say in French. This monument won't be destroyed we will re built it, it is a part of our live.
Ling live Notre Dame!!! NOTRE DAME will rise again!!!
Thank you lord for all the blessings.we need you lord 🙏✝️
I would be interested in finding out if the crown of thorns has ever had a DNA test. Is there any blood on the crown and if so has it been tested? By having a DNA test done would put the crown's authenticity a little closer to the truth of it's authenticity.
What's a DNA test going to prove
You have Jesus DNA on your fridge dude ?
Last year in France over 850 churches were vandilized,this year at least 30 with 10 the week before,but go back to sleep it was a " short circuit".
I am still so very saddened about what happened, but at the same time I’m grateful that at least part of the church survived the blaze, including the two bell towers in the front. Heartbreaking about the spire being lost (although that was added later in the 18th-19th centuries). From what I heard, the entire roof is gone (it was made from wood) and a fair amount of the inside is also gone (also made from wood), and approx. 2/3 of the structure is still standing.
Morgan is such a class act.
I'm sorry for what happened but what about ammwey mosque in Aleppo it's the same thing
I guess this mosque is a little bit more world-famous? 😅
but notre dam is different, it holds what christian belief to be part of history, has been analyze it was true. and so it means it holds value, historic value you stupid incel.
BiG_Cerrote5150 it isn’t but ok
Aleppo gives you the true history of Christianity, no city in the world can match it's status as the birth of Christianity. Jerusalem is for the Muslims and Jews but allegory is for Christian
@The Illumination Why did no mention the Russain warplanes which carried the actual destruction u sickhead
Don't forget about Al-Aqsa
@Don Espoleto who else ? We all know its Israel. They are preparing to build the 3rd Temple for the False Messiah. Muslim or Christian we must reunite to destroy the devil.
There is something about his voice that no matter what he is talking about I listen intently.
Love the guy.
This place is the most special in the world and the fire warned of a drama ...
In every picture I've seen of Christ wearing the crown of thorns, there's blood dripping from His head. Has there been a DNA analysis of this purported crown? If not, why not? I believe if it is genuine, DNA should be inbedded.
Relax, most of these artifacts arent old enough to be real or too unrecognizable to be studied.
Happyfeet how would they know if the dna belongs to Jesus or not?
Where is the stained area of the crown where the blood was, seems suspicious to me.
@@gwenscott535 it's dried up. What you expect blood to be there 2000 years later
Coz it would turn to dust and blew off.. but, its a fake anyway . And its gon cost alot of money once 70 percent of the world turns athiest.
@National Geographic Thank you for a very spiritual history lesson.
13 million people every year visit this church a year, 85 million visit France a year. Or attracts 15% of all people coming to visit France. Notre Dame means Our Lady in French, Notre is Our, and Dame means Lady. So, Our lady Cathedral,
exactly one month after the Mosque shooting in Australia.

What mosque shootings in Australia?
In New Zealand, though.
What intrigued me most about evacuation of the C of T is : how do you evacuate a metaphor ?
I’ve always understood that moving “priceless artefacts” is a very demanding process and can take a long time and needs specialist equipment, cranes, dollies and the like.
Yet they seem to have cleared ND of all its goodies in one hour flat. Worried about their no-claims bonus, no doubt

im sorry to say this , but for me no need a notredam , a pope , or any church , Im with God in 24/7 God lives in my heart , as every human should , and I know God loves me even with my mistakes , and also I know God is in everything and everywhere
Youre on the right path.. keep moving..

As a Catholic myself, I agree with you.
That is wonderful, but some people need a little more structure to overcome their own spiritual weaknesses.

Who wouldn't
anyone else have doubts about that being the actual crown of thorns?
Yeah, everyone with common sense.
@@iminco9844 not "highly unlikely", there is absolutely no possibility of this being authentic, but for the church it was useful for controlling mindless fanatics through the history.
Relics such as this underwent scientific analysis. So shut up.
If people just bothered in reading the Bible they would know that it is so easy to get to God. "And when you are about to pray, get in your room and the Father that sees you in secret will reward you".
But one of the very nice things in God is that He operates according to faith and not according to relogion or beliefs and that is why many experience miracles and relates them to being done by a saint or by a thing they believe in.
This is not story it's not tale it is history it is concrete and real our Lord Came Saw n Conquered. Praise God.
Very nice God bless you all Amen ++++
Next check the shroud of Turin, the most amazing relic we have.
every valuable and unvaluables is insured, so why not our notre DAME DE PARIS??????
How fitting it is that Freeman narrates this segment!!

how on earth they had this documentary ready for the accident
It's taken from documentary series titled The Story of God. It's about every religion and spiritual across the world.
