i'm amused by the display of a bishop wearing cope and miter while just walking around or sitting in a meeting. this level of research ineptitude makes me wonder about everything else they depict. lol.

The impossible part? are you kidding me ? Simply the whole structure is close to impossible, it´s truley stunning, how they mange to build this magnificent cathedral during the medival era (without using machines or other necessities)... that´s just a little part of the "impossible". secondly the architect was obviously very sensible and well educated, he saw the connection between the three simple shapes and made a brilliant work out of that.. that kid is the impossible :D

@plecavalier 14 лет назад

Visited the Cathedral 3 weeks ago, and it is quite an amazing Mediaval architectural structure, developed in so little time with next to no technology. I am not as expert as people leaving comments before me, but the other outstanding aspect is that it is still up, almost identical to the way it was about 1000 years ago --- most of our modern bridges and buidling struggle to last more than one century!

The diagonals of a square don't produce four equilateral triangles! They produce four 45-90-45 angled triangles. The secret of Gothic architecture was the use of the vesica piscis to create the tops of windows, doors, arches, and vaults.

Bishops don't typically wander around in their liturgical dress. *smh*

@JoelClarkArtist 13 лет назад

Interesting or downright typical how NG as a voice for the corporate elite would have us believe Chartres was the product of politics, the desire of a Bishop for "cutting edge" design, and not the great mystical and mysterious undertaking that it was, fuelled by a fervent love of the Blessed Virgin by an international populace from every level of society. The dark lords only know one mentality, that of Earthly Power. They attempt to obliterate all others.

I love learning about the Architectural Engineering of Cathedrals. I don't think we would be building sky scrapers today if it weren't for that push during the middle ages to have the biggest and baddest looking Cathedral.

@msgr12 12 лет назад

Architects and craftsmen at that time remained anonymous on purpose because they wanted the work to point to God and not to themselves. Soli Deo Gloria. That's something our culture has a hard time understanding. This documentary acts like it's some great conspiracy. Who writes this stuff?

@isabellajones8535 3 года назад

Who writes this stuff? Nat. Geog. is owned by the Deep State, owned media arm of Government. I's all they can see. The fantastic mathematics, the music in stone, and deep code to ancient mysteries that this cathedral has. Never watch Nat. Geog. They're all the same.

"The circle is a sacred symbol of purity" - ok thats true. because a point is the most elementary shape and symbol distinguishing something from nothing. the circle is a line surrounding the point distant at a standard length around the dot. that symbolizes separateness of an individual from other non nothing others.

@beeble2003 13 лет назад

It's all very well claiming that the key shapes are the circle, the square and the equilateral triangle (2:38) but cutting a square along its diagonals (3:13) gives right-angled, not equilateral triangles!

@stefanlab 13 лет назад

This is really intressting though i find your language even more intressting. Some of you, not all though, uses really nice english and i´m owerjoyed to just read and try to remember some significant phrases. I'm not from a english talking country and i'm just 15 and really intressed in the english language. I alos wish to learn more. Just saying =)

@jerzkid87 17 лет назад

oh and its funny too... i just noticed how if you "diagonally bisect the perfect square [btw- perfect square? all squares are perfect otherwise they are just rhomboids!] we arrive at four triangles"... not four equilateral triangles!!! notice that in the diagram when the yellow trace e.triangle is superimposed over the crossing it doesnt actually match up! lol (3:32)

@MesserschmittBf109g6 15 лет назад

I might also add that a square is of cause necessary in a building

A very informative study is "CHARTRES The masons who built a legend" by John James published by Routledge & Kegan Paul. It would be wonderful to explore Chartres with this book in hand. ps it is out of print but worth finding.

@Wavy997 3 года назад

John James is a legend.

@Metadsign 16 лет назад

There is a Chartres train station! :) just down the cathedral.

@jerzkid87 17 лет назад

so that makes sense but then.... "outside a circle can be drawn a perfect square" of course you can!!! duh. you could draw a perfect looney toons haracter also. the square is arbitrary and you could inscribe a circle into any regular polygon and still touch tangentially.

@InnocentSmith831 11 лет назад

Gee whiz. Maybe the Circle, Square and the Triangle are not as simple as you think. Oh, and don't you just love the cynicism? Trying to explain everything according to our broken and divided world. Also, I believe they did not have paper back then. The Sacred Geometry was done on tables made of plaster and they were etched out. But leave it to National Geographic to make it a political intrigue. This place is a miracle of engineering and human labor.

@EkEMaN91 15 лет назад

Sorry that I am not completely sure if he was talking about WWI or WWII but seeing as I am human and do tend to forget things I'll forgive myself that. And how can you judge my character from the fact that I couldn't remember which of those two very close time periods the event was from? By that thinking I can judge your character by the fact that you think that it would actually make any kind of difference if it happened during the first or second world war.

@islandbuoy4 14 лет назад

also note the ASYMMETRY of the two spires... also note that LEON LEDERMAN (physicist) compared these two spires to ASYMMETRY. And Leon was referencing ASYMMETRY, which ONLY came to the forefront in 1956. Just AFTER Einstein died. Too bad. And Leon was discussing CP violation/ASYMMETRY unveiled JUST in 1956. And it is clear that ASYMMETRY was intentionally built into the architecture of Chartres. NOW GOOGLE asymmetry DNA swastika

@MesserschmittBf109g6 15 лет назад

Obviously the screwed up the delicate geometry of the gothic style, the prof. was right though, the gothic mind was obsessed with mainly the circle, and the right angled triangle that could be made out of three circles. This they obviously also screwed up as a ri.ang. triangle cant be made by dividing a square. To demonstrate the masterful geometry they should have shown eg the west rose window, not by superimposing some forms on a shitty groundplan, the geom. was much more complicated than that

That's just a disgusting lie. The Church never "used the uneducated Irish people" for his gain. It never forced anyone to give his money to the Church. If people aid the Church, they do so because of their faith, not terror! You call yourself a catholic? You should be ashamed of yourself!

@sonicnumber11 I read very carefully what you said and decided it's about time I started believing in a god...just kidding. "I will not respond to any message you send me." Perhaps Dr. House, M.D. can answer it better than I can. (watch?v=92Im6yyrdGs) Of course you're not going to respond to rational arguments, otherwise you wouldn't be believing in a god. As for these cathedrals, they are amazing achievements of human engineering. I refuse to destroy them - they should be art museums.

@sonicnumber11 And the bible even says that every man is righteous in his own eyes. Of course you think that applies to both of us, but what if it was written to deceive the believers into demanding respect from anyone says honestly god doesn't exist. As an atheist, I say simply there's no evidence for god's existence. And I must admit if an otherwordly alien were watching us, they'd be laughing at the both of us since neither of us are very honest compared to whatever the truth really is.
