Disclaimer: this is not an endorsement of religion. Instead, it is intended to illustrate one of the very few good things to have come of religion -- the financial support of human creativity.
This illustration is set to Thomas Tallis' Spem in Alium. This is a forty-part motet, composed by Thomas Tallis around 1570. "Though composed in imitative style and occasionally homophonic, its individual vocal lines act quite freely within its fairly simple harmonic framework; allowing for an astonishing number of individual musical ideas to be sung during its ten-to-twelve minute performance time."[wikipedia]
(Tallis is anachronistically featured in "The Tudors".)

Isn't it, though?! They did use cranes that were rather like large wooden hamster-wheels -- man-powered and risky.
It's also mind boggling how they managed to make stone look delicate.
