About the works of the black man in Europe, let's talk about the cathedrals which are great masterpieces, testimonies of his presence, his creativity, his know-how, his sensitivity, his strong spirituality and his work. scientifically, architecturally.

Due to the revolutionary techniques used, the cathedrals were and remain until today, a great source of pride and prestige for the cities.

They were magnificent religious buildings erected to the glory of God and which showed the strong spirituality of their creators.

I was moved by the (voluntary) fire of Notre Dame de Paris on April 15, 2019. You should know that this flag cathedral of France's artistic heritage was built from 1162 AD (for 200 years) by this black elite that reigned in Europe before it was eliminated and enslaved in the Americas by albinos; therefore this work and all the others up to the 17th century are living memories, symbols of his creative, inventive, emotional, sensitive spirit, of his spirituality, of his know-how.

The cathedrals have their origins in the initiatory schools of ancient Egypt which was black. The medieval era, and particularly the 12th and 13th centuries, was therefore marked by a considerable boom in religious construction. The vast movement of building cathedrals extended from 1050 to 1350 and the century when the most were built, “the century of cathedrals”, was the 13th century. Nevertheless, it remains that these immense architectural treasures, indisputable testimonies of the faith and the know-how of the men of the time, played a more than important role. They made it possible to develop new construction techniques. The rise of Gothic art was rapid. The great Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages are examples of revolutionary architecture. At this time more than 80 cathedrals were built: Let us quote among others the cathedrals of: Notre Dame de Paris, Chartres, Reims, Amiens, Beauvais, Bourges, the Sainte-Chapelle etc.... The builders of cathedrals were organized in brotherhood, companionship of architects, engineers, technicians, stonemasons, sculptors, glassmakers, masons etc...

The techniques used prove to us that the builders of the cathedrals actively participated in the first industrial revolution of Europe.

The architects (the architect is the one who designs the plans) have developed new solutions to simplify and consolidate the structures: the introduction of the warhead and the buttresses or buttresses to be able to distribute the weight of the dome on the pillars of massive stone. The new techniques of construction (Gothic style) made it possible to build immense luminous cathedrals, high windows, often decorated with sumptuous stained glass windows, and very high arrows. Decorated with paintings, sculptures and stained glass windows, the cathedrals were a great source of pride and prestige for the cities.

The three main energy resources exploited during the ascendant period of the Middle Ages were: hydraulic energy, wind energy and horse energy.

Without hydropower, life in the Middle Ages would have been unthinkable. It was in the 10th century that water mills multiplied considerably, given the dense network of rivers and torrents with a regular annual flow.

From the 12th century, countless windmills were built to take advantage of the inexhaustible wind energy.

Cathedral builders, working in a society where progress was accepted, were able to innovate, and the cathedral of the end of the 13th century was the result of hundreds of more or less important innovations and improvements, due to the spirit search for builders.

An art of "professionals"

The balance sheet of the Gothic builders is impressive: dozens of cathedrals, hundreds of churches were erected. The construction of a cathedral recalls the great fervor of the builders, their enthusiasm and the affirmation of the power of the church in the heart of the city.

From the Egyptian temple to the cathedral

The cathedral is indeed the spiritual daughter of the Egyptian temple. You should know that the Egyptians at these times were mostly black and also mixed race. Many themes, appearing as specifically Christian, are inexplicable without knowledge of Egyptian symbolism. Indeed, the Egyptian symbolism makes it possible to better perceive the meaning of many iconographic or literary themes of the Middle Ages.

Medieval authors have shown that they were aware of their filiation. The foundation of the first great Western monasteries was done on the Egyptian model, the monks of the land of the pharaohs inspired by the functioning of the ancient communities of priests in Egypt.

The medieval Christ of the Masters of Work is a successor of the Egyptian God-Kings, in their function as in their mission, in spite of the historical distortions. The Virgin who was black is an extension of Isis, ensuring the presence of feminine symbolism in a Catholic religion that has tried everything to reject her but has not succeeded in expelling the immense figure of the black Egyptian goddess. which, at the time of the formation of Christianity, reigned throughout the Mediterranean basin and in a good part of Europe.

This symbolic base, of an extraordinary richness, was not however enough to trigger the epic of the golden centuries of the Middle Ages. It also required a certain state of mind that did not dissociate the art of a certain science from life. So the medievals could say that a life without art is meaningless.

The most modest of properly constructed chapels like the most imposing of cathedrals are erected according to the rules of divine proportion (the golden ratio), like the human body.

It is precisely this sacred geometry that the Masters taught to the companions through a science called "the line" and which the companions of today still know.

The line, the divine proportion, the golden ratio are all tangible elements of a practice that becomes wisdom.

If the cathedrals were built on the basis of sacred numbers, it is because only the latter give the key to the proportions which ensure the extraordinary stability that we still observe today.

Science is art and art is science.

Of course, there is the perfection of the curves, the vaults, the enchantment of the sculptures, the serenity of the walls, the play of light where the pilgrim naturally finds his place.

Medieval churches are comparable to atomic crushers where beneficial powers are concentrated, the permanence of which is maintained by religious rites. The same analysis has been made by Egyptologists about pharaonic temples.

The cathedral reflects the harmony of the cosmos where everything is carefully ordered.

One of the essential forms of the cathedral is the cross, meeting of the vertical and the horizontal, of time and space, of heaven and earth.

The cathedral is the place where energies circulate: cosmic, solar and telluric. Gigantic construction sites, arrows that rise up to 100m high, and a generally spectacular and daring result. But it was not only the construction of cathedrals, this black elite also built various constructions such as castles ..... but cathedrals remain the most prestigious. » (7)

This period was followed by the Renaissance period (1300 to 1600). Thererebirth isboth a period of history and an artistic movement. It gradually saw the light of day in Italy, in the 14th and 15th centuries, then throughout Europe.Europe. It ends towards the end of the 16th century. The Renaissance in architecture was expressed by new forms drawn from ancient art. The construction programs of the Renaissance hardly differed from those of the Middle Ages: it was above all a question of building churches and palaces..
