I think that is exactly why these Cathedrals were built. Sometimes the most rational arguments for God's existence pale in comparison to the beauty that he creates through the hands of men. "Even before revealing himself to man in words of truth, God reveals himself to him through the universal language of creation, the work of his Word, of his wisdom: the order and harmony of the cosmos - which both the child and the scientist discover - "from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator," "for the author of beauty created them."" - CCC 2500
Wells Cathedral is, and always will be, my favorite of all Gothic cathedrals. I don't think we've ever 'topped' Gothic architecture. To me, it's the pinnacle of architectural achievement.

I’m speechless … the ingenuity and craftsmanship is beyond imagination … the process is seemingly impossible during its era … yet they figured it all out and created architectural masterpieces … nowadays computer-aided design and 3D modeling makes creativity accessible to all who choose to challenge themselves … but back then only Renaissance men were capable of such brilliance … just mindboggling!! 🤯
As a glass blower whose made sheet glass the same exact way as the glass at 38:50 was for stained glass workers, I had to smile at the mention of good old cobalt blue. God rest ye ancient glaziers.
A blue, like none other, was created and used for the stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral, in France. It became so famous that it was given the name Chartres Bleu. It's magnificent.

@@-xnnybimb-9398 Tbf, this is a BBC4 documentary aimed primarily at British viewers, and these buildings would be familiar to the audiance. They could have shown off all the great buildings of Christendom from all over the world (there are many), East and West, but this show was how Cathedrals in Britain were built (from what I've gathered). Although I do get your point.
What a charming presenter ! Never seen him before. Unlike so many others he doesn't attempt to draw attention to himself by being annoyingly quirky / eccentric..
In Christian Europe the spirit of initiation was kept alive throughout the Dark Ages and the medieval period by several initiatory orders of people who the church even today, described as illiterate workmen. Illiterate workmen my backside! they were highly skilled people, these were the craft masons who built the glories of Chartres Cathedral, who built Cologne Cathedral, who built Amien, and who built every major church building in Europe. They had no architects, they worked as teams, now Chartres Cathedral was built in the unbelievable time of 30 years. It was built by five separate craft masonic teams, all working seemingly independent of one another, to it well enough there is no existing overall plan for the place and yet the whole thing comes together as a harmonious whole which baffles description. It enhances the powerful earth energies that are already there, it is acoustically perfect and it is a place of incredible beauty. Now these crafts mason's were divided into four main groups, they are known today collectively as The Compagnonnage, and they were the Compagnons Passant who built bridges, made road structures and built castles. The Children of Maitre Soubise who mainly worked in the romanesque style with rounded arches, thick walled buildings, that couldn't rise very high because of the structural problems with them. Then there were the Children of Solomon, and this is a very disputed group. It's very difficult to discern whether they actually were part of the Templar order or were they merely affiliated to them or were they employed by them. The Templar certainly gave them their rule. They built in the new style that the Templars had brought back the secret from the holy land, how to build with the pointed arch. They got that from their Sufi brethren in Jerusalem, and the first pointed arches that the Templars commissioned are still there to this day on Temple Mount. They were replicated at Chartres Cathedral in France. Chartres Cathedral was built and financed at the Knights Templar’s behest. That's how it was erected so quickly, normally it took two or three centuries to finish a cathedral, Chartres was done in 30 years. Over the west front of Chartre, there is one of the earliest pieces of gothic architecture in Europe. It is the over the main door at Chartre, with Jesus sat in glory, surmounted by a mandolra, and there is another significant symbol of his deity which is his halo, and it's a halo with a cross in it that symbolises the deity. But if you look very carefully at the shape of that cross you'll find it's the Gnostic cross, we also have Europe's first known initiate Pythagoras.
When Norte Damn in Paris burned the Mathematician David Berlinski was there during that awful night and knew in his heart that modern man was incapable of creating such a thing (other then replicas)….
No there wasn’t much dust at all. Everything was slow at that time. Cutting stones was a slow process. It took 100’s of years to build these things and were done by Freemasons. 25% of the Freemasons traveled to these projects on a weekly basis on a contract. So they were in very high demand for their craftsmanship. Many stayed on site in the Freemasons lodge. They ate and drank there along with sharing knowledge and ideas.
Cough cough... Catholic England, here. Return, all ye who are lost amongst the ruins, return ye to the grandeur of old; through the master masons' broken arch, the last pilgrims' march, to taste of the body and blood of Christ your Lord and God.
i think that glass and steel post-modern buildings, are unworthy of being called cathedral-like. They are indeed vast, and impressive, but modern skyscrapers are never actually beautiful, and more often than not, are a blight upon the landscape. In comparison to ornate cathedrals, modern skyscrapers are an obscenely sterile, hypodermic syringe of a middle finger upon the human and humane environment.
Yes. Building skyscrapers is no longer a difficult task - any Saudi prince can buy himself a megatower. The true modern cathedrals - the projects that demand every dollop of human ingenuity and ambition - are stuff like suspension bridges, nuclear power plants or the big particle smasher in Switzerland.
Quite easy: Build any church, place a bishops-seat and you've got a cathedral. Cathedral is not a building-style. It is not a big or fancy church. Cathedral is defined as: "A cathedral is a church that contains the cathedra (Latin for 'seat') of a bishop, thus serving as the central church of a diocese." And herefore the huge St. Peter's Basilica in Rome/ Vatican Staate is not a cathedral. The cathedral of Rome is the 'Basilica San Giovanni in Laterano' a way smaller building.
Regarding the number 144 showing up...that's literally just the square root of 2 thing again, just multiplied by 100. So if you make a thing 100 foot wide and make it the square root of 2 times that long, it's 144 feet long. If there's a biblical import to that number (I wouldn't know, I'm a devout agnostic) then maybe that's why they picked up on the square root of 2 rather than the golden ratio (1:1.618) or some other repeatable value.
@@royfearn4345there IS no excellence in comparison of the buildings WE didn’t build. MESSIAH SON OF THE MOST HIGH DID. Please be freed of your mind control and read Revelation ch. 20. Watch more from Unexpected Cosmology YT Channel
BBC: It would have been nicer without the sprinkling of Liberal comments. Also, you only touched on the contributions of France, without which England would have had no such cathedrals at all. BTW, France invented the flying buttress in the 1100s. You skipped that piece of info altogether. Other than this, your English Cathedral documentary was well done.
I'm sorry but after your explanation, I and probably everyone know you guys got not a clue who , how, when build cathedral and why which is major question as don't think that was anything to do with religion. Thank you really enjoy it.
correct. it has nothing to do with religion. everything to do with harmonics vibration freq. and some type of mind state chaninging astral projection type sound or practice
@@bpjava2453 in my opinion carvings of Jesus and Angel was only cover up for real purpose of it , anyway do you realise those buildings where well before Christianity arrive.
@@Arturro20091111 it says they were made in the 12th to 16th century. Christianity began around 30 AD, long before the cathedrals. Plus the cathedrals are constructed in the shape of the cross. What do you think is the point of the buildings?
@@bpjava2453 some of them been bild between 6 and 9 centuries my question is are they? Look at York cathedral the quality of brick how precise been designed and please 30 meters high and only half millimetre of in straight line , they much older then we can imagine in my opinion, there was machines, cranes, different technology then our involved, don't think cross got anything to do with Christianity as history is not clear about it at all as you probably know that. It's nice to chat about that , thank you. I only try to see world with my own eyes wit no filters they put in place.
Knowing how brutally the English persecuted Catholics in the 16th and 17th centuries makes it hard to hear this spoken about in the British dialect. Otherwise amazing.
Not sure whom and how exactly but something like that. And it should be rather obvious (when thinking about it) that these kinds of structures were neither built nor designed/ornamented like we are told. The nighttime ‘landscaping’ in the film Dark City is more truthful than this documentary and any history book.
I feel the bbc present their documentaries in such a patronising way, with too much facial emphasis of a spoken word, like a kindergarten teach talking to 5 year olds, ive been away from the UK for over 10 years and this is like nails on a blackboard, whats wrong with just talking and gesticulating, and some of the dialogue is way too purile, come on BBC were all a lot smarter and didactic than you could possibly imagine.
I visited St. Peter's in Rome recently and (quite apart from the hypocrisy of women having to wear clothing that covers their knees) I was absolutely disgusted by the ostentacious display of riches within. Surely if the pope is following the teachings of Jesus Christ, he would scrape all that gold leaf off the frames of all those priceless artworks hanging on the walls and donate the proceeds to the impoverished peoples of the world - instead of just reminding them that God loves them in his speeches and sermons from his lofty pulpit! Contradiction much?!
No. The building, gold leaf and art work is worthless comparable to the value of the whole. They would be better off selling the entire building as is. Also do you know how many people pay to see that artwork and architecture? me and my family went to the Vatican when I was a kid, and as agnostic atheists it was purely for the History, Art and Architecture. By all means the Catholic Church should better distribute the proceeds of it's property but the tourism to places like St. Peter's it what generates the wealth of the church in the first place. The real travesty is not the riches on show but the ones not. The Vatican archives could be used to bolster the Vatican museum and even further increase revenue to in turn fund charitable work. I think there are far bigger issues with the Catholic church than it's sheer wealth of assets.
No. i'm done. Much as I think the actual video would be interesting. i cannot watch it. after 40 minutes, I'm barely 9 minutes into the video. The other 30 plus minutes is all commercials. i'm not even sure what the video is about anymore. It is about fox TV? It is about Disney vacations? Is it about "pureflix"? It is about Universal studios? Somewhere i think there was supposed to be something about cathedrals. But mostly its all advertising
Hammers and chisels a d ropes and pulleys... Incorrect. The master builders understood magnetism and how to nullify the weight of stone as well as state of the art casting. They were also built with perfect acoustic resonance. This is hidden knowledge that will be revealed
Although I admit that it has nothing to do with these indeed beautiful buildings and more a matter of theology, my thoughts were automatically going back to a total different story when I heard the commentator explain that the cathedrals were like "the gateway to heaven" and "the house of God". Those very meanings had already popped up in my mind in relation to that other story. That's why I come up with it here.It was the story of the genocide in Rwanda, where. although no genuine cathedrals, but nevertheless "gateways to heaven" and "houses of God", churches became slaughterhouses. Especially in these gateways to heaven and houses of God most of the Tutsi's were butchered. Very cynical.They had sought refuge there, hoping indeed for protection of the Divine, but there lived no God there to to save them. These houses of God looked more like gateways to hell and houses of the Devil, crammed with bodies, chopped into pieces. So the cathedrals are beautiful and impressive achievements, but the symbolic ideas behind them are nonsense. They are just great buildings.
It’s a common image, unfortunately. Like Christ said: a sepulchre with beautiful walls, and death inside. Thank you for sharing. It’s important to remember those histories. They become engrained in buildings such as these.
This is great, lots of ideas for the cathedral in the Minecraft city I'm building.

No. i'm done.
Much as I think the actual video would be interesting. i cannot watch it.
after 40 minutes, I'm barely 9 minutes into the video.
The other 30 plus minutes is all commercials.
i'm not even sure what the video is about anymore. It is about fox TV? It is about Disney vacations? Is it about "pureflix"? It is about Universal studios? Somewhere i think there was supposed to be something about cathedrals. But mostly its all advertising
Hammers and chisels a d ropes and pulleys...
Incorrect. The master builders understood magnetism and how to nullify the weight of stone as well as state of the art casting. They were also built with perfect acoustic resonance. This is hidden knowledge that will be revealed
Although I admit that it has nothing to do with these indeed beautiful buildings and more a matter of theology, my thoughts were automatically going back to a total different story when I heard the commentator explain that the cathedrals were like "the gateway to heaven" and "the house of God". Those very meanings had already popped up in my mind in relation to that other story. That's why I come up with it here.It was the story of the genocide in Rwanda, where. although no genuine cathedrals, but nevertheless "gateways to heaven" and "houses of God", churches became slaughterhouses. Especially in these gateways to heaven and houses of God most of the Tutsi's were butchered. Very cynical.They had sought refuge there, hoping indeed for protection of the Divine, but there lived no God there to to save them. These houses of God looked more like gateways to hell and houses of the Devil, crammed with bodies, chopped into pieces. So the cathedrals are beautiful and impressive achievements, but the symbolic ideas behind them are nonsense. They are just great buildings.
And LSD is just a chemical. Lol dullard
It’s a common image, unfortunately. Like Christ said: a sepulchre with beautiful walls, and death inside.
Thank you for sharing. It’s important to remember those histories. They become engrained in buildings such as these.
All this work for a fake book
It isn't a fake book as much as you try to prove it so.
