Most people never think of it this way. Nevertheless, the Labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral is an unsurpassed marvel of medieval message engineering. Even the modern experts at NASA who designed the famous Voyager record cover could not do much better. Legault's close comparison of the medieval with the modern will leave your head spinning in admiration for the unsurpassed technological achievements of the priestly teachers of medieval Chartres. From a distance of some 800 years ago, they speak to us yet, through the floor slabs of their magnificent gothic monument.
