It’s interesting how the creators of assassin’s creed actually studied the entire place to make a replica of it in game. So when they heard it was going to be built they volunteered to help give so much accurate stuff to help rebuild it
As it was said, their information is not relevant

oof. he cited his sources lmao. gg wp, critics.
EDIT: Great article. Imagine gamers and UA-camrs being taken seriously lol. Well, it's 2020. Who's laughing now? They hated us til they needed us.
They laser scanned every inch of it.
Days after the fire had been put out and the extent of the damage was just beginning. Architects were submitting THEIR plans for what THEY believed would be the best model for the rebuilding of the famous icon. Some were down right bizarre. Please just make it the way it was. Thank you.
I agree 100%! Notre Dame is NOT a ‘multi faith’ scrambled mixture of religion. It is a CATHOLIC Church, and regardless whether people are religious or not, you must respect people’s beliefs and traditions.
It may not be possible to make it the way it was. Old-growth oaks big enough for the roof beams no longer exist in France. And I don't think they're going to make the roof out of lead again.
@@kennethkellogg6556 The intelligent thing to do would be steel roof framing. It can be fabricated with the same look as before and safer. The old wooden framework was just a matchstick waiting to happen. The new steel roof will be safer for generations to come.
If the Cathedral were in America they would tear the whole thing down and build something cheap in it's place. They do save historic structures in Europe and I'm thankful for it. 👍♥️
@@rubencohen2936 I'm not sure where the American bashing comes from. To my knowledge, Americans are generally more religious and conservative than French, and view Macron's suggestions as treacherous.
@@rubencohen2936 I live on the east coast of the USA we take great care in preserving historic structures here I have even seen preservation centers/foundations literally MOVING entire buildings to prevent them being torn down at least twice
Still so unbelievable a year later, I remember sitting at my house here in Virginia and just crying for France and the world. This cathedral is more than just a place of worship, it's an icon to culture itself, and Paris will not be whole again until it is rebuilt.
Restoring an old building often takes more work than building a new identical building from scratch. Even with modern technology we are looking at a project decades or perhaps a century long. I had the following on my bucket list. Visit the Louvre. Visit the Eiffel tower, Visit the Arch de Triumph and visit Notre Dame. Now I can only do three. Even if I break a longevity record I will not live long enough.
@@nunyabiznez6381 I'm lucky enough to have gone to Paris with my school and seen it 3 years before this happened, and Notre Dame was truly something to behold. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, like something out of a fairy tale. I still cannot believe this happened, I hope that it is restored as quickly as possible. I understand that they don't want to damage the remaining structure further, and that it may take some time, but thinking about the possibility that I may never set foot in there again in my life makes my heart hurt. It will never be the same regardless.
@Joe Al Joe; like so many people, I foolishly assumed that the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral was the result of arson. But the inspector for the Paris Fire Brigade concluded that the fire was the result of construction work.
@@nunyabiznez6381 you can still look at notre dame but you wont be able to go in
I envy you. At least you got to go once.
Interesting, but I was hoping for a current status update.

When she was burning I cried.
Gerald O'Hare why? The church has gargoyles on the top. Its not a christian church
@@IamTechNerd you know the gargoyle symbolizes the warding off of evil and diversion of rainwater ?
And when our country was burning it took three months before anyone noticed.
@@Arcadian_Gaming wym
Konrad , All ancient churches have that because it was a way of explaining scripture to people who couldn’t read.
Still brings tears to my eyes.
The savages burned it...
@@herbpetrillo163 And savages built it too...right on top of a Temple of Jupiter. So don't cry over desecration when your religion is built on desecration. Christians love to whine and cry that their Religious Freedom is "seemingly" violated, yet have no problem with violating ( IE conversion) someone else's religion.
Alex S my fellow Christians have a long way before we fully accept humility
Alex S bro are you really that butthurt about the local people replacing a structure they had no use for? To say that it was intolerant of them to removed one of their own structures would be peak semantics. For them to replace the structures the Christians would have had to been the majority of the population of that time. Meaning that they had every right to do so.
@@WorgenGrrl do yourself a favor and learn some history
im a filipino and I never had the chance to see the majestic cathedral before but when I heard in the news that it was burning and I saw the spire collapsing due to the fire my tears fell because I know that this Cathedral is one of the finest example of gothic architecture a masterpiece and home of one of the most precious relic of Jesus' crown of thorns being cared and venerated by the millions of Catholics around the world.
May God Bless those people who volunteed for the reconstructuon of this Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral.
I was fortunate to have been to this magnificent cathedral. Spent about 3 hours there. I was at work when I was told that it was on fire. After watching it for about 5 minutes, I had to leave and go around the corner as a couple tears were starting to roll down my cheeks. If you have a soul, and aren't emotionally dead, you just FEEL THE HISTORY that has happened inside these walls. Touch a pillar, any wall, you are certainly touching a spot where others have put their hands over 800 years. Look at almost anything inside, and it hasn't changed in many centuries. Its a very sobering, yet uplifting experience. Just think how many sunrises, and sunsets that structure has seen. Every generation becomes the caretakers of this cathedral, its our job to care for it for another 100 years. And then the new generation inherits it. And the responsibility continues. Thats the way it been for 8 centuries. Hopefully people wii continue to care for and maintain it for centuries more. I feel sorry for anyone that can't understand this, or appreciate experiencing something built by our ancestors, yes human hands , and the pride they must of felt. When could stand back and say, WE built this. And they certainly would be surprised, and amazed that it still stands, and exists 850 years later. I'm in the USA, and hope to be able to go back to see the completed restoration.
As of April 15, 2024, the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral in Paris, France is scheduled to reopen on Sunday, December 8, 2024, following extensive restoration work after a devastating fire in April 2019.
The reopening will include a procession through the streets of Paris two weeks before the reopening to accompany the return of the Notre Dame statue, and the rebuilding of the spire. The cathedral is also scheduled to remain open until June 8, 2025.
The cathedral's chief architect has said that the reopening will be "breathtaking". The restoration work has included:
__ Finishing the framework
__Cleaning and restoring painted murals
__Rediscovering the colors of the cathedral's 24 chapels, which have returned to their vibrant 19th-century color palette
__Completing wooden stars with 22 carved oak panels depicting the life of the Virgin Mary, which had suffered water damage during firefighting.

The Notre Dame was such a beautiful work of architecture, sad to see it was destroyed
Just Some Guy without a Mustache YOUR EVERYWHERE
Only the roof. The 90% of notre dame still intact
Half destroyed only the roof was gone due of the flame. So now they're planning to restore it & also they're researching of how to reinforce it, in order to avoid the same accident ever happen again.
I don't think the blaze was accidental.
@@goodwolf911 i dont either. The truth is that France is running out of money so the french government burned notre dame just so wealthy donars would give them money. France collected nearly a billion dollars and then pocketed the money.
Beautiful piece of medieval architecture and western human history! I hope the restoration does the cathedral justice. Vive la Notre Dame de Paris!
Very well articulated. It is good to see the great care being taken to restore the Cathedral. Hopefully they will be able to restore it so it looks just as it did before the first, with the possibility of substituting some kinds of materials so that it will not be as vulnerable as before.
JeanClaude Clemenceau Then I guess you don't want the spire to be rebuilt, because it wasn't "authentic", it was added in the 19th century by architect Viollet le Duc.
I don't think it would hurt to upgrade certain materials in the reconstruction. Also, a state of the art sprinkler system or other form of fire remediation might be in order.
JeanClaude Clemenceau It might not be possible to restore it completely authentic. They still try to find out how many of the stones were damaged from heat and water. It is possible that the walls are no longer able to carry the weight and forces caused by an authentic restoration of the roof. So they might be forced to decide between destroying and replacing even larger parts of the original stone walls or rebuilding the roof in a unauthentic way which causes less stress for the weakened parts of the stone walls.
The rarely seen parts of the structure, such as the roof trusses, I think are perfectly fine to update to the most modern standards of fireproofing and structural engineering, so that Notre Dame can possibly stand for a thousand years from now, assuming no really big earthquakes in the Paris area. As far as the areas widely seen by tourists and attendees of services, yes, those rooms should all be restored to as original as is possible.
@Emily Evans I agree these early builders were ingenious, it is so sad that with our modern technology, there could have been installed sprinklers in the 'attic' where the fire broke out and more precise equipment to tell just where the fire was from the beginning. It was and is a magnificent structure.
She deserves the best restoration possible, she is a symbol of Paris for the whole world.
Yes she is but let us not also forget SHE is the house of god and that is the most important detail that many seem to have forgotten or not take to hart dearist.

Perhaps this research will be useful for an authentic restoration as well.
Exactly! Researchers are trying to find the "luck" in this unlucky event by jumping on the opportunity of studying ancient techniques and materials that would never have been available had the fire not happened. Of course it would have been much better to not have any fire at all. But we have to use this opportunity to learn as much as we can
They are probably going to replace the spire with a steel and glass nightmare.
Triple K yea that would be a horrific sight, completely unrespectful toward the 13th century gothic architecture, the new spire in my opinion doesn’t have be the same design as the old, but it must respect old architecture, like the old one did even though it was from the 1800s i believe. I would like a spire of medieval architecture the most, but a spire following neoclassical architecture would not be out of the question for me
Triple K the French parliament passed a law that said the restoration has to be completely like the original construction
@@militaristicsoldier856 - Maybe the French government actually does have some pride left in their heritage. Good for them!
My family (all firefighters) followed this fire all day on the continuous news coverage. Just watching how our French brothers fought the blaze, it appeared they were prepared and planned for something like this. As we say "They made a good stop!" Our uncle (a deceased firefighter) made his first Holy Communion at the cathedral when stationed there during WW II.

Unfortunately, this video is a month old, and since then, Covid-19 has put a stop to the reconstruction.

With so many of France's businesses closed and no income coming in, the tax base is not what it could be. And I suspect that private donations are down. Some things just have to wait.
@@patriciayeiser6405 The fact Christ is must wait is very telling for Frances' status as a Christian nation. Shameful. The Pope should excommunicate them.

Thank you for this update. Thank you so much.❤️
I get that Notre Dame is a favorite icon of France. It is huge and it is gorgeous - or it was. I am sure the French will make sure it is properly restored and will take the opportunity to learn all they can about it's original construction. And it is absolutely appropriate for the rest of the World to care - and for those that can to send money to help the job. It is a World Heritage site.
I’m Muslim but this is so sad. Hopefully they can save it in time with minimal compromise to the original.
I was there in 1980, climbed up the stairs to the roof & walked everywhere we could,
found out the big circular columns where wood, looked like marble. Spent a week riding the metro
popping up to see a museum, they where cleaning soot off most of the building then, what a great trip.
Technically the spire wasn't ADDED in the 19th century. It was simply replaced with an exact copy (the one that burnt) because the previous one was unstable and visible wobbled when the wind blew. I may be wrong but I do believe that's what happened.
I'm hoping its restored in such a way that it looks mostly like its former self, with hidden modern improvements and safety measures.
And 2st Century plumbing.

Oh god......HELLFIRE !!
Quasimodo, dude.
Sorry for the bad news dumb dumb but he was in the spire that collapsed he was busy getting ahead from your mom.
It's OK, he merged with Toyota years ago and became a hatchback. (I think this was originally a Ronnie Barker joke which I've mangeld.)
Not to mention limestone when it turns to quicklime at 800C will literally melt away with water.
I took a road trip to York (about 6 hours from where I live) and was able to visit the York Minster cathedral. While not as grand in scale as Notre Dame, it was nonetheless wonderful. The Europeans know how to take care of these precious buildings, can’t say the same kind of preservation or restoration would be carried out where I am. Where I live, lots of historic buildings have been left to rot or torn down.
A least there is the good side effect of having the chance to learn more about the construction of it when you have to rebuild. I was there after the eclipse in 1999. Maybe time to go back when it is reopened.
I wish there would be an ongoing tv program showing the active progress of the work. It would be so much more interesting than the sickening shows that are on tv now.
Yay! Let the rebuilding begin!!
I was hoping vids like this would get posted on here. Thank you! It's good to know they're taking their sweet time to get it right. It looks like they're restoring it rather than reimagining it, thank God. It needs to be as close to what it was as humanly possible, imo. When they were talking about updating, I was kind of...horrified I guess is the best word. My hope is it gets restored to what it was and has been for centuries, but if they *do* make changes, restore it to what the original design was. No modern concepts please! She was "perfect" they way she was. :-)
Kudos. Great info, timely, heartening. Thank you. ❤️

If they need timber (French oak of the requisite grain and size is likely in short supply) may I recommend Pacific Northwest redwood. Straight, hundreds of feet tall, rot resistant, fire resistant... France gave us a lovely Statue of Liberty and we'd happily return the favor.
Let's do it!
Absolutely! Since France gifted us with the Statue of Liberty; it's only fair that we repay the favor by supplying Pacific Northwest redwood to help them with the restoration work on Notre Dame Cathedral. A second suggestion would be the wood of a Ginkgo tree. Ginkgo trees are over two-hundred and seventy million years old and is extremely resilient to disease and damage. Despite being within two miles from the blast site; a group of ginkgo trees in Hiroshima, Japan survived the atomic bombing of the city in 1945 albeit with mild charring and still growing today.
That is such a beautiful offer, but as of today, oaks from French forests have been set aside to rebuild the roof and recreate "the Forest", the 1300 beams that disappeared inthe blaze. Don't worry, we have plenty of very rich forests in France.
Absolutely fantastic comment!. I was glued to Canadian TV (in French) during the fire (actually, well over 5 hours), and documentary (also in French), which aired a few days after the fire, showing the damage. Your video is a very great addition to my knowledge of what happened. Many thanks mfj

Thank You! ! !
Very much!
All I can think of is Victor Hugo. He spoke of Notre Dame so highly. He really brought to light the beauty and deep-rooted history in the cathedral. I wished I could’ve visited it before it burned, my Hunchback of Notre Dame book in hand
On the bright side of things, we're fortunate that it's in this modern day of technology that the fire occurred. Just having photographic evidence of what it was like before the fire will help immensely in it's reconstruction. Much like how many of the historic castles and temples in Japan have burned down and been rebuilt, this structure can be brought back. It may not be the original construction, but standing in the cathedral once it reopens will still bring awe at their ability to create such a structure in the first place.
Such destructions and rebuildings are part of the history of buildings like these, after all. Notre Dame may not have _burned_ like this in the past, but it's definitely gone through periods where neglect and apathy had basically let it rot in place. Don't expect them to even try to perfectly recreate the way it was--but don't want them to, either! It's a chance to add a new chapter to her story.
Fascinating!
Very good!
Hope they keep it as close to the original plan as possible, "tradition" is is the crown jewel in this case

Very interesting to see the restoration. I wonder if they will rebuild the 19th century additions (i.e., the spire) or restore it to its appearance in medieval history.
Also, Judge Claude Frollo has been missing since the fire. I hear the authorities are eager to learn of his whereabouts.
The collapse of the spire seem to be one of the more devastating moments on that day. I would imagine they would rebuild it as that is how everyone alive today knows that building.
I don’t know where he is though. Last I heard he was saying some thing about hellfire
In the middle age there was a spine but smaller, the spine will be tebuilt as it was before the fire and it s good like that
Is anything being done with the Cavaille-Coll organ?
I believe the organ was almost untouched by the fire and the water used to put it out
Thanks to the Stone vaulted ceiling almost nothing got through from the attic
Looks like everyone is doing a great job, they'll have it back up and running
:( so much history lost
and yeet is so funny
As bad as this was, the French Revolution did much damage to the cathedral and her contents as well.
But in a sense this is an amazing opportunity to learn more about its construction and technique. And the structure was already in need of attention that it was not receiving so it may have been providential. I'm sure the restoration will be carried out faithfully.
Most of the relics were saved, don’t worry.
No. History is not lost. m.ua-cam.com/video/u7W9PwzZtzU/v-deo.html
What's the name of the painting at 3:46? The woman holding a structure in her hands?
Thank you so much for this excellent explanation. This is comforting to know how experts are dealing with this icon. Some worrisome aspects still exist.
Don't let Europe burn to the ground😔
A bit too late there mate. It's already gotten so bad that Great Britain left the block. The European structure fire is unstoppable until all the fire setters are sent back home.
Billy b with the immigration? It’s all ready happening
already is. should not have let refugee, uk quit life and countries in debt only get worse
I see a wonderful clear glass roof-GPS and and planted area on the top..... But we may need some extra help from above to form engineering and architecture teams.
With love and light!
Thank you . This is the most insightful piece of info I have seen yet .
big bob 169 - Then, you should watch this.

Fantastic explanation
I saw this on the news while I was on vacation
pretty happy when i read in an article about this, they are using assassin's creed unity's in game model of the church
Most beautiful restoration in any church history.
What will the finished roof look like?
The spire was built between 1220 and 1230. It was removed in 1786. During the 19th-century restoration, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc decided to recreate it using medieval depictions of the cathedral. It's not a mere 19th century addition.
Thanks for this accuate comment !! You re right !! Glad to see someone who knows history 👏👏
I didn’t know it was that bad , I thought it was just the wood, man this really sucks. I keep Paris in my prayers
I was there in December 2018. Wish I went in, but figured maybe next trip. I’d already been in on previous trips the last being around 2001.
As of April 15, 2024, the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral in Paris, France is scheduled to reopen on Sunday, December 8, 2024, following extensive restoration work after a devastating fire in April 2019.
The reopening will include a procession through the streets of Paris two weeks before the reopening to accompany the return of the Notre Dame statue, and the rebuilding of the spire. The cathedral is also scheduled to remain open until June 8, 2025.
The cathedral's chief architect has said that the reopening will be "breathtaking". The restoration work has included:
__ Finishing the framework
__Cleaning and restoring painted murals
__Rediscovering the colors of the cathedral's 24 chapels, which have returned to their vibrant 19th-century color palette
__Completing wooden stars with 22 carved oak panels depicting the life of the Virgin Mary, which had suffered water damage during firefighting.

I would love to attend that Sunday church service and Christmas in Paris.
Will non french news media dare investigate on this criminal act ?
I believe the fire was shown to be accidental in nature.
@@odysseusrex5908 As well as all the accidental decapitations of statues of the Virgin Mary as well as the accidental stabbing of priests, and a few other accidental destructions, defacings and even a few accidental trucks plowing through crowds. You'd think people were becoming accident-prone.
@@NikovK What does any of that have to do with the fire at Notre Dame?
@@odysseusrex5908It was no accident. In the weeks before the fire, several Muslim women were seen and arrested near the Cathedral. They were carrying cans of gasoline.
The spine wasn't added in the 19th century, only restored.
In a strange and very mysterious way the fire has guaranteed an eternal healthy future as new modifications to the superstructure in the careful restoration will ensure this.....
I heard of flying buttresses from BATB, but until now had never known what they looked like.
legends these restoration people even going down to sampeling the right consitency of the material to make sure most if not all of it is the right way
Remember, this wasn't an accident.
Insurance scam. The renovations were bankrupting the cathedral and they were running out of money. It's funny how the relics and other valuables had been left in there for months of work, but were removed just a few days before the fire
@Allan 112358 Theocracy is dead. Long live the secular model. never will the church rule over us
@@ParisAlexandros The Cathedral is owned by the Government, as are most of the religious buildings. The government is responsible for all maintenance and restoration. If they were short of cash, then the work would have been delayed. The building is going nowhere and next year is another tax-year. After 800 years, people tend not to rush.
It certainly was not an accident. Some day the government will be forced to tell the truth, and let the pommes frites fall where they may.
@@patriciayeiser6405 yeah the fire was set by the refugees
As someone who lives in a 3rd wold country wiith numerous problems, it was stunning to me how quickly billionaires and wealthy people donated amounts that could help so many children in so many places for the notre dame.
I Hope they don't forget to put Quasimodo's cauldron of molten lead above the door?
I wonder if the reconstruction work has been suspended at all during the COVID19 quarantine.
Yes.
🔥🔥
The old scaffold looked kinda cool.
I'm so glad that Notre Dame is in such CAPABLE HANDS!!!! What is it about the month of April, right?!
Thank you for providing this perspective.
God, I hate humanity so much. Restoring an old building rather than cleaning the ocean of plastics and dealing with micro plastics. The money would be the same but the effects would be drastically different
Has anyone checked with the Main Man to see if the reconstruction is on the right track?
It's official, French will restore it as it was, with traditional materials.
God bless amen.
So much history and such a wonderful place to have seen. I hope I live to see its completed restoration... I'm just glad the stain glass survived.

An Iconic structure to the writer is a Holy place of worship to the one God almighty to many.
So what started the fire?
Electric short, welder's torch, cigarette, the storks building a nest on Trump's head....
There were several churches in France that were arsoned and vandalized in 2018 and the lead up to this in 2019, but for some reason that gets completely overlooked as soon as Notre Dame comes up.
Thank God, the Relics of thorn of Christ remains safe. Amen+
@Johnathan Ha - You certainly can believe what you want, but I must say out of love for you, relics are pagan idolatry! No person on earth can confirm if a thorn comes from the actual crown of thorns worn by Christ during His crucifixion. And even if the thorn were legitimately from the crucifixion, it would hold no extraordinary power. Look to Christ Jesus, not relics, man-made religion, or self-righteous works. Only Christ Jesus can save you, not the Romanist system, no acts of penance, no priest, no pope, only Jesus Christ.
Blessings. †
They're not real.
I'm sure if they had been burned up, new ones could be found.
@@Isaiah122 When you were first born, how did you get to know Jesus? Somebody must have told you about Jesus. The relic of Thorn of Christ is one of the oldest remaining relic to demonstrate us the suffering of Christ. This relic is used as living evidence of the suffering of Christ. The church tradition and written records are the ancient form of the practical evidences before DNA was found and scientific devices were invented. We Catholics do not have faith in the Relics as the Protestants think about Catholics. Amen+
LOL!! yeah sure
Some people did something...
Oy vey we know ! Will we ever find out the truth ?
always a conspiracy by the Illuminati...always.
Now, just where have we heard that before?
...at the start of Holy Week.
RIght. She just isn't quite certain why that is important. Why can't we deport her?.
Keep your eye on Vark.
Remember seeing this burning on the news. Felt pretty bad to see something survive world wars and A lot of other things be destroyed in minuets! I'm from the USA and have never seen it in person.
on ne sait toujours pas pourquoi le feu a pris avec une telle intensité.
It's kinda sad how the only way for us to see the cathedral now is through Assassin's Creed Unity 😢
Hope they fix it (although I doubt it since I feel like people who made it back in the day had much higher expertise then people today)
really sad to lose any historical monument. WIsh the ones in the mideast were preserved.
Be good to see an analysis of the actual blaze itself - I picked up visually that there were two fires - one at either end of the main roof. Perhaps there was an unseen internal connection between them?
Also I am mystified at the only explanation I have heard of the cause as being an electrical wiring fault. I have seen oak half the age of that of Notre Dame (some 800 years) and it has become almost like steel and is difficult to burn and sometimes not possible on a bonfire - this then from some exposed wiring?
There are other curiosities in eye-witness accounts to do with noise and delay - perhaps the most telling thing was the distress and incomprehensibility in the eyes of the Cathedral’s prelate in charge of the building. He looked and talked like one wounded.
Look, you can also shorten this piece by writing: i think it was foul play.
A Roof is made of more, than just the large timbers, and in the centuries past, some dust, old birds nests and so forth tend to collect in some difficult to reach spaces. The large beams didn't start burning first.
Heavily restored/repaired structures are NEVER the same. Forget it!
What started the fire?
I believe that's _who?_ _Who_ started the fire?
@@AtlasReburdened badly isolated wires
