  • The Hagia Sophia is neither greek nor turkish. IT IS ROMAN!!!

  • @3dwardcullen69 your a faggot. it was a Orthodox Church and it was ORTHODOX

  • @Jullzzzz Christian Orthodox is a religion not an ethnicity you stupid idiot. The Basilica was built by the Romans. And the "Greeks" living in Constantinople were of Roman and Greek ancestry. I hate stupid Greeks like you who claim that Constantinople was Greek simply because Greek became the official language of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 12th century.

  • @3dwardcullen69 I think nobody denies that the empire was the Roman Empire until the end. Constantine XI dies as the Roman Emperor.

    The quite confusing thing is that the word Roman changed meaing over time. During most of the empire's time it refered to someone who was: Christian, citizen of the empire and with greek language/culture. Roman isn't necesseraly Latin. Greek was the official language of the state since 7th century (under Heraclius). The Church and the population spoke greek always.

  • @Lhein33 The population of Constantinople didn't speak Greek always. The city was divided into quarters where many languages were spoken. The most common being Latin and Greek. It was later the Greek overtook Latin and yes this is when Greek became the new official language. Anyways point being, the language you speak doesn't make you indigenous, Greeks need to understand that before saying stuff like:"Constantinople belongs to Greece/ return Constantinople to Greece" it never belonged to Greece

  • @3dwardcullen69 Answer me this question please: Why all the ancient divine liturgies are written in greek? I think it's clear: because greek was the lingua franca of that age. Everybody in the eastern empire spoke greek (some people along with other languages).

    The Greeks didn't have a nation state until the 1820s. The same thing happens with a lot of other nations, because the idea of nation-state was created recently. The christian Roman empire had the greek culture, every historian says that.

  • @Lhein33 In an effort to appeal to the masses the early Orthodox church, wrote documents in Greek. Because Greek was the preferred language of the time by commoners. But not in all provinces. For example: in the province of Moesia(modern day Bulgaria) Latin was the preferred language by most citizens. Latin was still used in administrative matters until the 7th century. But again, even if Greek did become the new lingua franca, what does that have to do with the identity of the Empire? Not much

  • Comment removed

  • @Lhein33 Furthermore you brought up the question of culture. And that is really hazy. How can say with certainty that its the Romans who embraced Greek culture and not the other way around? Everything from the architecture of the buildings to the entertainment, art and mosaics at the time screamed Roman culture in Constantinople and all over the Empire. And I think every historian would agree that in the Eastern Roman Empire, Roman and Greek culture fused into what they tragically call Byzantine

  • @3dwardcullen69 The roman culture is the first derivative culture in Europe. It came from the greek culture. Heraclides Ponticus said in the 4th cent BC that Rome was a greek city, Livius Andronicus (a Greek) was the first Roman poet and some of the first Roman historians wrote in greek (3rd cent BC). Except for satura (satura tota nostra est) there is no other "pure" Roman genre.

    The education in "Byzantium" was greek & roman but over time the greek part grew stronger while the other atrophied.

  • @Lhein33 I'm sure that to most Greeks, everything is Greek. I know that the Romans adopted many Greek ideas in their culture, but saying that Rome was a Greek city based on this alone is not a realistic view. Culture changes over time, and even Greece had many cultural periods. We're talking about the medieval period. How are you so sure that it wasn't the Romans that influenced the Greeks at THAT time and Greek culture was the one to atrophy? Note that culture is different from language

  • @3dwardcullen69 If ancient Romans were greatly influenced by the Greeks (and they indeed were) then the elements they gave to Rhomania were partly greek too. It's important.

    Constantinople was adorned with greek statues (even of pagan gods), the basic texts in school were the ancient greek (Homer, Plato, Aristotle) and the christian ones (written in greek language too). There were a lot of icons of ancient greek philosophers, poets etc even in churches, but almost none of latin ones.

  • @MrDjYigit

    If you are proud of being a thief it just shows your evil character. (Maybe even the evil character of your people.)

  • о Свитая София мая я готов жизнь одат за твоё освобождение от османов нас уже очень много кто кнам мечом придёт от меча и погибнет так была всегда

  • nice mosque dans le style bysantin

  • forever a symbol of pride and conquer by the Ottoman Sultans !

    Long live Turkiye and Islam !

    If anyone is asking for Hagia Sophia to be a church, then tell the Americans to give america back to the Red Indians, and tell the Australians to give australia back to the aborigines. Otherwise sssshhhh !

    Long live Hagia Sophia.. Jesus son of Maryam belongs to Islam, NOT to Greece.

    Forever Islamic !

  • @ArabianRhythm Takbeer!!!!!!

  • @slimshadythe2nd

    ALLAHU AKBAR !!!

  • @ArabianRhythm

    YOU TALK THROUGH YOUR HAT! The Turks were just thieves when they captured Constantinoupolis. Unfortunately they still are. But nothing is forever...

    Islam is the most stupid of all religions. An individual ambitious of power told fairy tales, and the ignorant masses followed him.

    "Show me just what Mohamed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as he command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." (Manuel II., Roman emperor)

  • @ArabianRhythm

    Your comparisons are extremely self-defeating. Neither belonged America to the Indians nor Australia to the Aborigines in any time. Nevertheless today honest Americans or Australians are ashamed of what their predecessors have done to the indigenous people.

    The problem is that Turks and people like you are proud of things they should be ashamed of.

    Hagia Sophia WAS always a church, it IS still a church and it WILL BE a church in the future.

  • @Dragasas

    just look at your comments u dirty moron.. not worth of replying u back.. usa not for red indians? australia not for aborigines? then what? hagia sophia "is" and "will" be a church? mwabababahahahahaha take a dick and put in your filthy mouth u piece of shit

  • Look i am a Bulgarian and I think that Konstantinoupoli belongs to Greece before and NOW ! You turks cant have all!

  • @sn0psgo6ko :D funny guy :D

  • swearing anger gives nothing but being wise as old greeks gives you answers...

  • well READ ND LEARN...thats why u can not accept religion never changes but human destroy nd changes it.christianity was pure for builder of hagia sophia but human destroyed ur religion..as jewish destroyed which came by moises, david israel nd many other prophets! And god send them jesus too.. your god can able to send prophets before jesus also is able to send after him.. prophets are religious servants..nd last servant of god complated his mission... this is our building both..!

  • lets talk as wise,i call you as my brother but you just give me anger. one minute think...think about mission of your religion and your prophet. he came to continue mission of god as other prophets. we believe all prophets of god.this is same way. turk or greek,even black or white. it is not important for god. we didnt took your lands you lost it.we didnt find a religion,your grannies destroyed it.god is most powerfull sure complated his way nd sure wants to forgive us all in the test of human.

    What did a thief win when he stole?

  • @Dragasas

    stole?? no u cunt. You were crushed in battles.. the ottomans crushed u because you are a joke.. u want ISTANBUL back?? take my cock

  • Hagia Sophia has to go Back to Orthodox, we catholic should support them to get justuce.

  • You catholics looted and burned the city of Constantinople during the fourth crusade. you should first return the stolen artifacts to the patriarch before supporting them.

  • You may reffer to catholics of the fourth cruzade, not to catholics of now at days, because if it were in my hand I gladly Would give those objects back.

    But it is not in my hand nor in church's hand but in governments that keep those objects as treasures, The most holy relics of ST. John Crisostomos have gone back to Patriarch. Search for:

    Return of the Holy Relics from Rome to Constantinople (1of4)

  • @jorgecarrillo2 Hagia Sophia belongs to the Turks by right of conquest. Further, Hagia Sophia was a Catholic church when Constantinople fell. The Patriarch of Constantinople appointed by Mehmed II removed the Greeks from unity with the Catholic Church on June 3, 1453, just 5 days after the Turkish conquest. From what I can tell, God has punished the Greek people these last 500 years for their obstinacy in schism and error.

  • @jorgecarrillo2 One thing to think about too, if God were on the side of the Orthodox church, why did He not deliver the Greeks from the Turks after June 3, 1453? He allowed Constantinople to fall into the hands of the Turks because the heart of the Greek people and clergy was still schismatic. Constantine XI and the Greek Patriarch at that time were Catholics, but the clergy and people were not. I'm sure when the Greeks give up their schism, Istanbul will revert to Greek Christian rule.

  • @mackbee628 I know that there are two kind of orthodox, those more alike to end schism with catholic church and those, mainly clerics, who keep thinking tha God created Islam to protect orthodoxy from Catholic Church, a very blasfemous thinking. If we catholics want to convince lay orthodox people that many orthodox cleargy are irrationally anticatholic, they will be more alike to porsue not necesarily conversion, but comunion.

  • @jorgecarrillo2 Agreed! Especially those monks on Mount Athos. The overwhelming majority of Orthodox people hold the monks of Mount Athos in high regard, I even dare say higher than the Patriarch of Constantinople himself. I do hope that I can see the end of the Greek schism in my lifetime.

  • ποτε γυρίστηκε αυτό το ντοκ.?

  • wasnt this cathedral destroyed by an earthquake ages ago but restored?

  • Hagia Sofia is one of the greatest buildings in Turkey. It was the biggest church and than the biggest mosque. It is important for christianity and islam. And it is a symbol of frinedship between 2 religions

  • @swedisse you dream so much :D

  • @swedisse If that's going to happen, ALL the Slavic nations, Romania, and the Greeks will all need to work on bringing more children into this world. The last I checked, Russia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Macedonia, Ukraine, Moldova, et al all have declining birthrates. Turkey and Muslim Albania all have high birthrates. At that, Turks are all over Europe now, and they're having children like crazy. Europe will be Muslim within 50 years unless the birthrates increase!

  • @swedisse dirty muslim mary belongs to christianity as does hagia sophia
