My little girlfriend...

For the monks who built this place
it was like taming the Wild West.
:59:35
There was nothing here.
Only forests...
:59:39
...and more forests.
:59:43
Bears.
:59:45
Wolves.
:59:47
-And huge ants.
-How huge?
:59:54
Like this.
:59:59
The monks came with their saws.
1:00:04
And chopped down the trees.
1:00:07
They pulled out the stumps
and started hauling boulders.
1:00:12
But first,
they killed the huge ants.
1:00:18
I always thought of monks
as impotent cripples.
1:00:24
They were regular guys.
Musclemen.
1:00:28
And they did this all
by themselves?
1:00:31
Yup. They built, painted,
wrote, and prayed to God.
1:00:40
And there weren't any women?
1:00:44
Women weren't allowed here.
For seven-hundred years.
1:00:52
Do you smell it?
1:00:58
It's in all monasteries.
It's the spirit of the place.
