Remarkable how the interior of Amiens Cathedral was built from 1220 to 1269; only 49 years. They had the technology the builders at Cologne were unaware of (the human wheel). Also: Cologne wasn't even stared until 1248.
Amazing: the Middle Age Cathedrals are incredible artefacts and masterpieces: for those people it never was a matter of time like for us. Thanks for making & uploading it!
Back then no heavy equipment, no computers, none of all that. And yet they build an absolute masterpiece of engineering..

Beautiful amiens cathedral is truly a beautiful gothic cathedral
Let´s start to call the "dark ages" the "brillinat ages"!
Read god's philosophers by james hannam. They weren't dark at all.
post modernists gave the middle ages a bad rep
@@neggit2063 they do it due to it being very catholic and it’s general wars
And diseases
@@popefrancis8153 No. It's because most of them were Jewish or had jewish roots. Jews were banned from nearly every European country during the middle ages.
@@neggit2063 Boy they really know how to hold a grudge
I think that the term "dark ages" counts for the period after the decline of the Roman Empire till the year Thousand AD before establishing the RC Church
I think I'm crying. It's that splendid.
Merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante, beaucoup d événements de mes aïeux se rapportent de prés ou de loin à cette cathédrale.Je suis née à Amiens et j aime profondément cette cathédrale. J espère que cette Foi , qui animé ce peuple Français, par la Grâce de Dieu, revienne au plus vite.
I am a bit surprised by the stumped and narrow nature of the two towers of the facade, as well as their difference in height. Was this a mere functionality choice for the bells? And that only the inner sanctum was crowned with a high spire?
Beautiful!
Really helpful to see the process!
La plus Vaste Cathédrale d Europe et la plus belle ☺ pour moi qui suis Amienois 😊🙌Merci 👍
What relation6did Roger de Cormond have to Thomas de Cormond? Father and son?
Very nice 3d animation, I can use in my art history lesson!
I find myself in love with ancient greek and rome, victorian, ghotic architecture....we need to go back to that architecture, I'm sick of this glass modern bullshit....
Indeed. It's a downside to living in far western US. The area was settled much later than the east coast mainly after the 1849 Gold Rush. But the forests and trees make up for it.
I've been trying to read more about the passages that lead to the roof and higher floors, but it's difficult to research cathedrals-- everyone only talks about the nave and all its glories.
Triforium. Clerestory. Thanks, me.
AMAZING
Amazing Work!!!!!!
Notre Dame é um ícone da humanidade, são 800 anos de passado
e que presenciaram muitas transformações
na história da Europa e do mundo. Restaurar esse patrimônio é uma ação urgente
!!! O homem sem a sua história, ele não
é nada !
What I would like to see is how they built the foundation. Did they just start by putting the stones on the ground or did they level the ground to have it perfectly plumbed and reinforced?
Reinforced with boulders to improve water drainage and prevent corrosion.
@@heavycurrent7462 Boulders on the floor?
@@marcobagutthey would have dug trenches around 9feet deep then the largest borders will be put in place and then mortar to cover all of it and then 7 ft of pure stone block wall for the foundation
@@deer563 What do you mean by "largest "BORDERS"? Thank you very much!
@@marcobagut boulders* SORRY
This is wonderful Thank you. Where did this version of Beata Viscera come from ?
Beautiful but also tragic. Blood money pays for alters and steeples
The best animated construction I have ever seen!!! Could you please do the animated construction of Westminster Abbey?
Yes, he can.
amazing!!
merci beaucoup tres interessant deja dans mes favoris .
Beautiful.
Beautifully done.
Hi, which software did you used to make the plan ?
Hi Aline, I used Sketchup to create this model, on a 4GB RAM macbook air.
Thank you for your answer :)
@@MylesZhang is there a blue print file for this I've found 3d model but just wondered if there was a floor plan in sections
@@J4C08G4M3R depends on what you're looking for:
- If you want a 3D model, I will send you the download link to the source files for this animation. Email me for access.
- If you want a general floorplan and cross sections, follow this link: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k63272737/f9.planchecontact
@@MylesZhang I was after a floor by floor plan but that's probably doesn't exist as I started to build Chartres Cathedral last year but started it all wrong as didn't realise you needed a floor plan, I was trying to build it an elevation at a time but interior didn't work out so shows my scale was all out of sink but this Amiens Cathedral looks awsome and would love so much to try and build it on minecraft but obviously need good plans to suicide the build.
You should do reims cathedral next!!
Is there a name for this kind of rendering style?
Render was created in Sketchup
@@MylesZhang thanks very much Myles, will check that out. Also, do you do commissions at all? No probs if not, thought I’d ask!
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe
Depends on if the project would interest researchers and the general public. Email descriptions to: www.myleszhang.org/contact-form/
Quand j'étais petit garçon, j'ai rencontré une fois une énorme tortue luth de la taille d'un ballon de football, et la bouche de la tortue puait parce qu'elle avait des morceaux de fibres textiles et des animaux morts dans ses dents. J'ai apporté la tortue à un vieil homme de notre rue qui était soldat. Il l'a aidée, mais la tortue est morte au bout de quelques jours. Je l'avais dans ma chambre, sous le lit, mais comme il sentait si mauvais, mon père m'a ordonné de le remettre dans la rue.
La reconstruction d’une cathédrale me commence généralement pas par le chevet et le chœur??🤨
Oui, vous avez raison. La reconstruction commence généralement par le nef et puis le chevet. Mais Amiens est différent parce qu'il y'avait l'ancienne basilique situé au même endroit que le chevet du futur. Plutôt que démolir l'ancienne basilique et puis commencer par le chevet, ils ont completé le nef, en train que démolir le chevet. Ça les ont permetté de finir le cathédrale plus rapidement.
@@MylesZhang d’accord! Je ne connaissais pas ce cas de figure,
Merci beaucoup pour ces informations:)
This may seem like a stupid question but how did they filter out rain water?
Good question. Above each flying buttress, a narrow groove is carved into the stone. A lead gutter pipe is embedded into this groove. Water falls onto the sloping roof, is channeled into the gutter above the buttress, and is finally ejected ono the ground on the outward facing side of the flying buttress. In this picture, you can see the gutter. It is the grey strip of lead the runs diagonally across the photo: images.freeimages.com/images/premium/previews/7281/7281931-flying-buttress-support-at-amiens-cathedral.jpg
That's impressive. I read that they also put gargoyles at the end of these gutters to act as water spouts.
Also, how did they filter the water during construction so that it didn't leak into the nave?
Before the construction of the wooden and slate roof in the 1300s, the vaults above the nave, transepts, and choir was effectively the roof for nearly 50 years. The angled sides of the vaults temporarily directed the water to the corners/walls, from which it descended to the ground via the tops of the buttresses. Again, this was a temporary measure before the completion of the real roof. Here's a pic of the inside of the roof: mylittleplanet.edublogs.org/files/2017/05/Amiens-Cathedral-62-1me1w98.jpg
Wow. History never fails to surprise me. Really impressive engineering for the time, then again, they had to learn from failures prior to the construction of these monuments. It's sad to hear that many cathedrals around Europe have been destroyed for new developments and sometimes just to spite the citizens.
Also, might I ask what software was used to make this?
Thank you, Tim! I used a software called Sketchup to create this model; it is free to download and easy to master. This model is also open source so anyone is welcome to view/download it here: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/fe8d49c2-3d71-4fd9-9b29-1b6cf3056f90/Amiens-Cathedral
Im using this for a build im doing in a videogame

Superbe!
love !
What's the foundation like?
Lots of stone and mortar
I want to know the hymns which has been sung in this video.... Please

every church has its own beginning and end .. do you think showcases are mosaic !?
Was the glass installed as the walls rose or after?
The tracery was installed as the walls rose. The glass was installed after.
Do you have one about Notre-Dame of Paris?
Oh yes that's what i mean about.
My ocd suddenly triggered for no reasn
People have worked hard.
Amazing

So they had Giant 3D printers niceeeee
Ah, you use the software to unhide the 3d model. Those who expect seeing realistic construction steps (me) are left disappointed.
bayu pramono that’s the order they built it in dumbass
non sense
