Now Notre Dame de Paris will be closed on restoration, which, according to authorities, will require hundreds of millions Euros and 40-50 years of time. However, it suddenly became known that restore the building in its former splendor can help one amazing technology.
It’s about digitized 3D scans – an advanced 3D map Cathedral, completed in 2015 by the now deceased historian architecture by Andrew Tallon. Curious that the specialist decided get an exact digital copy of the famous temple on your own initiative and even for some time persistently beat out the right to make it is as if he foresaw a future tragedy.

Tallon, eventually receiving permission to make a copy of the Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, used laser technology to high-precision mapping of the building and fulfilled his idea at the highest level.
Simply put, a special device sends out laser beams around itself and measures the time it takes light to reach the nearest surface and return back. This allowed with accurate to a fraction of a millimeter to obtain a three-dimensional model of the interior Notre Dame de Paris, therefore scans captured by a historian may have critical to the future restoration of the unique monument of architecture. One can only hope that nothing will prevent the use of this 3D map for faster and, most importantly, exact restoration of the temple of fire destroyed by the fire of the world values, known to many from the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo.
