Bon treball, enhorabona !
"Great work as always."
Very interesting. Haderslev Cathedral would've looked even more impressive if it still had its tower.
Lovely work. The construction scenes are particularly good.
Good work thank you. Very soon on my channel a film about parisian gothic house if you are interested... In french, sorry, but made in Blender... With love.
I'm sorry, but bricks were well known in the Roman period. Yes, they were a slightly different shape, but essentially they were the same bricks. How can you explain the fact that people in ancient times used bricks, and then forgot about this invention?

Bricks made of clay have been used since ancient times in Mesopotamia, Roman Empire etc. But they were not known in Northern Europe, like Scandinavian countries, until the mid-12th century.

@@mediumaevum In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt were used raw bricks. It's not the same. Roman plinth is much closer to modern brick than an ancient raw brick. And every barbarian who came to conquer the Rome considered himself a Roman after that. Including Germans. They saw Roman architecture. And it was well known to everyone. But no one else used a bricks? Nonsense! The Germans and Franks should have known the brick for a very long time! Same story with Byzantium. The same goes for the Russ, Bulgarians and Serbs, who came under the influence of the Byzantine Church.

@@EykisCorporation You cannot compare the Franks, Germans or Byzantines with Scandinavians. They (Scandinavians) were not under Roman occupation, and there is plenty of evidence the Danes did not know of brick making earlier than the 12th century. If the Danes knew of brick making earlier than the 12th century, archaeologists would know about this. But quite the contrary. The first mentioning of brick making is an inscription on a lead plate over the tomb of Valdemar the Great in Ringsted Church, saying "Ex Lateribus Coctis" - with baked stones. I haven't heard of any historian or archaeologists who dispute the fact that bricks were unknown in Denmark before the 12th century.

@@mediumaevum Forget about Scandinavians! Oh, btw varangians definitely knew about Roman bricks. But I'm talking about the whole medieval and early medieval Europe! I believe that the Gauls and Gotts did not know about the plinth. But the Franks and Germans should know about it. However, there are no images of brick buildings in the paintings of French and English artists before the 12th century. They appear later. Why?

@@EykisCorporation Well, the script I wrote for the voice-over in the video specifically says "12th century northern Europe", and by that I mean northern Germany, northern parts of Poland, Baltic Countries and Scandinavia. Later it is specified that Ringsted Church is Denmark's first brick church, so it's becoming even more specified. As for the Franks and Germans, I agree with you that they would certainly have known about brick making. But I read somewhere that brick making, along with much other knowledge, they were lost after the decline of the Roman Empire. As for bricks, the English and French have lots of other materials at hand like ashlar, so they probably didn't bother baking clay.
Very interesting and well done, congrats! You're right bricks and even concrete was known at different period of time. I recently discovered en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_concrete
