Incorrect. Trebuchet balls can smash through even multiple foot thick stone walls, regardless of what you make them out of. It just takes time, and during a siege you have all the time in the world.

Also every projectile from the trebuchet(s) adds to the ramp of rubble leading up the wall. Breach the outer casing of the wall, start pummeling the rubble core til it begins to spill out, and then assault the breach up the resulting ramp.

Sure in the same way that a man with a pick "can" penetrate a ten foot thick wall.
By that standard 5.56 AP "can" penetrate tank armor.
God imagine if after it's finished, a different group makes period-accurate siege equipment using only tools of the time so that they can try to destroy the castle.
yes
they are building it with medieval equipment that they built from scratch, this is a medieval treadmill crane
and they obtain the raw material by hand too, so horse drawn carts bring in the stones they've mined for masons to then shape
they got some sort of OH&S exemption too
they only have the sort of exterior framework a medieval worksite would have had
and there are no hardhats or hivis
If it takes another 25 years France as a state might not exist and there might be people actively using it to hide from the hordes of nafri's and other undesirables.
Oh so build one in... Oh it seems there won't be any white countries with any freedom soon...

Unless something changes drastically, you're correct. If you're white in a formerly white country, you don't have retirement to look forward to, you have one objective: Survive.

In what way? Are things not in decline in White countries? Because shit is looking pretty bad from my vantage point.

things are in decline in basically every country anon, you're just focusing on Black folk and not wider trends
What strikes me the most is that it instantly looks authentically aged. And yes, I know it's more than 20 years old, but new stone buildings still look younger than the walls on that castle. I guess it's not really weathering, but the fact that one building (the modern one) gets regularly cleaned, whereas this doesn't.
If you watch one of the documentaries they do, they wear hardhats while building an alcove, and they discuss the use of modern safety equipment when necessary. Disagreeing with me doesn’t automatically make you correct.
After seeing it a few times and hearing its builders repaired Notre Dame, I'm interested in how they'll contribute to architecture in the future. This castle might be the seed of something beautiful in the coming century.
>This castle might be the seed of something beautiful in the coming century.
Only if we get another one and this time one that doesn't just belong to a particular European nation but to the European race.
I think that experimental archeology and projects like this are going to be vital in the coming "correction" of European culture and people that has been decaying for quite some time now and is at risk now of simply not existing in a few generations.
Why not? Etienne-Louis Boulee designed structures on the scale of mountain ranges all the way back in the 18th century. Imagine what a sufficiently megalomaniacal architect could come up with today under a glorious fascist regime with all the boundless resources of full automation at his disposal.
architects are cringe larpers whose work are only ever to see any semblance of reality because actual engineers work to make sense of architect rantings and ravings.
Damn bro, almost like architects aren't engineers or something. That's like saying civil engineers are cringe LARPers because they don't personally dig a ditch or pour concrete.

Architects are notorious for coming up with impractical designs tho
>to the European race.
No such thing, the French is not the same (and doesn't share the same interests) as the British, who's not the same as the Dutch, who's not the same as the Greek, who's not the same as the Portuguese, who's not the same as the Dane (and so on)
Well Europeans and European diaspora are failing everywhere to defend their so called national identities. A Frenchman and an Englishman have more in common and more aligned shared interest than they do with the internationalist financiers that own their own countries or the non-European migrants whom the internationalist financiers ship in.
An Englishman has more in common with an American than a Frenchman.
Some day, perhaps all the West will be one, but today is not that day and this century is not that century.
In truth their skillset isn't particularly special, many European countries including France mandate that restoration work on heritage sites must be done with the same material and techniques as back then. There's a whole pool of historical construction workers maintaining all our monuments already, you can easily join the effort as a volunteer too.
It's just that those people rarely do projects of their own, that's what makes Guedelon remarkable.
Why does every post about Europe have to involve Muslims? As if they are actually a threat
Have you ever seen a Muslim in real life? They have weaker bones than black women
>As if they are actually a threat >Have you ever seen a Muslim in real life?
Yes and yes, the majority are brought in basically as slave labour and a big voting block, the majority of them also commit the most amount of crimes far above their population %. They’re generally not good people to be around especially refugees and most immigrants post 2000
Anon, white women into building castles and preserving history are as rare as anything they're not your average thot. These people are volunteers that care. And people that care are rare regardless of gender.
>25 years
In the middle ages, castles could be constructed in a course of a single war or a few years.
Are these workers just striking all of the time, or taking very long smoking breaks?
They have a lot of tourist groups which slows things down a lot when you have to stop to talk to tourists about the construction process of the castle and let's not forget that there were a lot more people working on a castle like this in medieval times who had the skills to built in a timely manner. The people working on this castle didn't have such skills and had to relearn them all, some of these skills were completely forgotten and had to be rediscovered, so of course they take longer to building it.
You're talking about the French, mate. They'd move one brick and expect a full pension and lifelong health benefits by 25 years old. Entitled bunch of lazy bastards
in the middle ages you could command your surfs to work for free
and there was a large pool of professionals you could hire
today the stone masons and carpenters are volunteering and they have to be trained in the ancient techniques
the rest of the workforce are also volunteers
and finally half their time is spent explaining what they are doing to tourists
Incorrect. Trebuchet balls can smash through even multiple foot thick stone walls, regardless of what you make them out of. It just takes time, and during a siege you have all the time in the world.
Plus, the point is the castle construction site, rather than the castle itself.
So they've dragged out the construction longer than it would normally take.
Isn't this a French castle being built by hand
Yep over 25 years with no modern tools one layer at a time.
What's french for
'oh my god 25 years of my life ruined'
"omelette du fromage"
Shimapel Jenson homlet du fro-mage
look how thick the walls are
you aint getting through with that
>thinks siege weapons knocked down walls like in movies
>what is sapping
Lmao hahahahahaha
Yeah okay moron

I'm sapping your mom's walls
That seige has more Zulu than Isandlwana.
Yeah, a woman can ruin 25 years of your life.
>"Oh mon Dieu, 25 années de ma vie foutues en l'air"
You've watched too many Hollywood movies. Pre gunpowder you were forced to either starve out the castle, or assault it directly.

That sounds kind of fun tier autism I can get behind but I hope they then do a starfort when they finish this one.

This is not true. They do use modern safety equipment because, in their words, it would be foolish not to.
What strikes me the most is that it instantly looks authentically aged. And yes, I know it's more than 20 years old, but new stone buildings still look younger than the walls on that castle. I guess it's not really weathering, but the fact that one building (the modern one) gets regularly cleaned, whereas this doesn't.
You know that those machines are pure fiction right?
wikipedia says it is finished, though I never seen a photo of it
still going but getting close to finished
There's no way they're gonna finish this, right? I heard the site makes 3 million euros a year in revenue. What would they even do after it's done?
>What would they even do after it's done?
Build a castle town
Build a bigger castle
Loan it as a movie set
>What would they even do after it's done?
Build a cathedral by hand, or a bigger castle.
they'll still have visitors
maybe they'll build a village surrounding it
none
the nature of doing it properly means it is slow and they're french which means it is extra slow
you can see no hardhats, no hivis, no steelcap boots
If you watch one of the documentaries they do, they wear hardhats while building an alcove, and they discuss the use of modern safety equipment when necessary. Disagreeing with me doesn’t automatically make you correct.
>What would they even do after it's done?
Build a huge church, duh. Should keep them occupied for the next 40 years.
how many people have died?
There's a cool documentary about this place on Curiosity Stream.
After seeing it a few times and hearing its builders repaired Notre Dame, I'm interested in how they'll contribute to architecture in the future. This castle might be the seed of something beautiful in the coming century.
>This castle might be the seed of something beautiful in the coming century.

a castle the size of europe?
The Great Wall of Europe
Esoterically, yes.

we have to go back
Frick it, next time there's a medieval fair in my state I'm gonna go.
That place will be a mindfrick for ar/k/eologists and archeologists when it is rediscovered and spectro dated in 2000 years.
Reminds me a bit of pic/vid rel.
NGL, I don't know what it will look like finished, but it honestly is pretty hideous. It's like the McMansion of castles
Most of them basically looked like this, drab and locally quarried without a ton of embellishment.
Pretty cool to see it coming along. I hope to visit someday, hopefully before it's finished.
can't wait for it to get knocked down so a commie block filled with nafris and nogs can take it's place
Why does every post about Europe have to involve Muslims? As if they are actually a threat

Doesn’t change the fact they run people over with trucks, go on stabbing sprees and establish rape gangs that target European children.
