  Donors will likely get their names on some sort of plaque inside the church. It’s a pretty big flex to say your name is literally on the Notre Dame.
context: Damn it’s been 4 years already? >
  
  It has. Crazy. But I’m glad to hear it’ll reopen in the near future. I visited Notre Dame about ten years ago. I’m in no way religious but it was stunning for so many good reasons. Westminster Abbey in London is also very awe-inspiring. >
  
  I'm not super religious either, besides old Pagan beliefs. But some of the most impressive buildings on Earth are old Churches, Mosques, and other huge Temples.
  Hagia Sophia, The Rome Pantheon, The Athens Acropolis, Borobudur Temple, Masjid al-Haram Mosque, Notre Dame Cathedral, Seville Cathedral, Saint Peters Basilica and the whole of Vatican City.
  Notable mention are the dozens of really awesome looking medieval Gothic architecture Cathedrals, Churches, Ministers in Germany and France built during the Holy Roman Empire. >
  
  Genuinely curious about which old pagan beliefs you hold. >
  
  A little bit mixed between mostly Norse, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. My fascination on the stories behind the myths grew to where I started to observe Pagan holidays and other traditions. 
  Its not like how people currently worship in the Christian/Muslim religions. It's more so just observing the holidays and traditions, keeping the myths alive. Like the next big holiday is Lupercalia. Basically a more 'crazy' Valentines day. Then Dísablót at the end of the month into March to get ready for farming season >
  
  Thanks for sharing. >
  
  Will it remain historically accurate or are they incorporating new design elements? >
  
  I’ve heard that it will be reconstructed to match the as built design before the fire. Original timber framed components that burned will be rebuilt using that construction technique. Other parts of the cathedral had been renovated before the fire that utilized modern construction techniques, and those will be rebuilt in a like manner. >
  
  Well that was a full on roller coaster. I wonder how his wife is doing now. >
  
  This is great to hear! Did any of those billionaires that pledged to help fund reconstruction during the initial outpouring of shock and grief ever end up doing so? >
  
  wow, that's great! I was honestly hoping that would be the case but I suppose I let a touch too much cynicism seep in to my initial comment >
  
  I mean those billionaires aren’t sacraficing much and are doing it entirely for the reputation laundering.
  They could just get together and like feed and house billions of hungry people or something
