It doesn't matter, the real loss is that it is impossible to rebuild.
No architect exists who wants or knows how to build the beautiful or the sublime, they only know marxist brutalism.
No stone masons, glass workers, sculptors exist, they've all been replaced with chinese steel and glass.
No spiritual rulers who understand the need for the divine and everlasting.
No artists to paint the portrait and paintings, they only paint ugly degenerate images.
Tell me about the superiority of modernity, once the rebuilding efforts fail.
I agree with this that rebuilding Notre Dame is going to be damn near impossible. The craft skill-set is nearly extinct, if not already. Fortunately, it appears that they did save the basic structure (the two front towers are intact as are the great bells). So maybe there is a chance after all.
The knowledge and skills still exist in Eastern Europe.
They'll have to bring in lots of artists and craftsmen from Poland and Russia if they want to have a decent chance of faithfully rebuilding it.
