  • @burcutrabzon

    burcu yukarda müslümanların bir kültüre sahip olmadığını yazmış. biz kopye ediyormuşuz bizanstan.

    cevap: her kültür birbirinden etkilenir, biz kopyalamadıkki aynısını bilakis geliştirdik. ayasofyanın kubbesi kaç kez harap oldu sinan restore etti zirve değildi ayasofya bizans mimarisi için.

    alle kulturen bewirken sich immer miteinander. islamischekultur hat (greekskultur oder romischekultur) ganz nicht kopiert, sondern ausgebaut.

  • The similarity is that they were both Europeans and they lived at round about the same time. And the difference is that Sinan was a muslim and Da Vinci was a christian. Both were great architects and inventors! But I personally believe that Mimar Sinan is slightly better than Leonardo Da Vinci because atleast Mimar Sinan actually succeeded in erecting many great buildings and things whereas Leonardi Da Vinci did come up with great ideas but didn't really accomplish in building them! Thanks!

  • l.da vinci was my dad and he tried to hump me

  • I love south asian buildings like this, does any one know any architectural companies that design like Islamic artish mughal architecture like the taj mahal. even any companies in india or pakistan, not modern, the real deal like this. i want to erect such a building as my home back in jamaica when i retire and go back. lol, would be different in jamaica i know.

  • is it just me but i can't understand a word he saying but thanks for the video keep it up : )

  • everything is written near the video

  • mimar sinan was from kayseri :))))

  • da vinci architected the helimacoptor

  • Leonardo Da Vinci and Sinan the Architect cannot be compared because they both were experts on different fields. Salute both Da Vinci and Sinan.

  • Leonardo was an universal genius, not "only" architect. he discovered fantastic science. He wasn´t an architect at first.

    Sinan was a great architect, his buildings will stay for all times.

    Leonardo was the greater scientist and Sinan the greater architect.

    Both men were genius.

  • Don't be ignorant. It makes absolutely no sense comparing these two great men. It's like comparing Aristotle and Plato. You can not say who was the biggest or better, because it is not measurable. Yes, Mimar Sinan was great, but Da Vinci was equally great.

  • not a great example you gave since Aristotle was Plato's instructor ^_6

  • I don't know why I should bother explaining... So I won't. Go study your History. Besides... You didn't even understand what I meant and I won't bother teaching you. Dumbass.

  • No, I do understand what you meant but your example doesn't make any sense since Plato reiterated what Aristotle said because Aristotle never wrote anything down.

    I do study my history amongst other things, including philosophy, since I'm a student of both.

    You're right, don't bother explaining something to me that you don't even understand.

  • FYI... Aristotle was Plato's STUDENT and Alexander the Great's TEACHER. Plato's teacher was, in fact, Socrates.

    Keep up the good work, you'll be an excellent historitian/philosopher. You must be a straight A's student (sarcasm).

    I know you love the attention, but I won't reply again. You lack the knowledge to argue with me.

  • Where the hell did you get that information? Off of a cereal box? Alexander the Great was King of Germany during WWIII. There is no way in hell Aristotle would have lived then, since he was a philosopher for the Etruscans and a kitchen aide to Marcus Aurelius. Asshole.

  • Christians don't be jelaous that our muslim architecht were better than your L. Da Vinci.

  • Da Vinci built a flying machine and named it Gabriel so Muhammad could ascend into Heaven.

  • Sinan is the biggest. The Techniques of sinan are today find in Skycrapers, Towers etc. The first Skycrapers is made with the Techniques of Sinan. He is also the finder of Builgins which possible against earthquakes. The training of the Turks under sultans is most powerful. The students such as Mehmet bey Turkish etc. are also the architects of Taj Mahal (India) etc.

  • SINAN was a great builder but da Vinci was a multi-talented person who worked in many fields other than archetecture.

  • There honestly needed not be a 'vs' in the title or even Leonardo. He (Sinan) was obviously and accomplished architect who's work speak for itself. The truth is that Islamic contributions are significantly understated in western history in general and that is a serious indictment against us (westerners)given the tremendous body of work dating back to Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, etc that served as precidence for many of what we hold dear today in arch. & technology. Please More objectiveity.

  • Thanks for your comment

  • But you forgot to include that Islamic architecture for mosques derived from Hagia Sophia, a once Christian building.

  • yes that is true

    but the hagia sophia would have collapsed if sinan didnt restore it

  • Sinan the architect has no chance against da Vinci, look at my video on Leonardo and you'll understand. However, there is one Islamic man that has a better chance against da Vinci, al Jazari, i recommend you research him, he made some great devices. In my opinion though he still is nowhere near as good as Leo (da Vinci is probably the most intelligent human there has ever been so its difficult for anyone to even come close),but al Jazari is a lot better than Sinan the architect.

  • The son of Greek Orthodox Christian parents, Sinan entered his fathers trade as a stone mason and carpenter. In 1512, however, officials of the Ottoman government entered his village for the purpose of drafting Christian youths into the Janissary corps. Sinan, whose Christian name was Joseph, was chosen, and he began a lifelong service to the Ottoman royal house and to the great sultan Süleyman I (reigned 152066) in particular.

  • Watching Sinan's works on youtube is great... but its when you see his works in real life is when you appreciate and realise the magnitude of his talent.. he was truly an amazing architect, to accomplish what he did during his lifetime in an era without the technology in which take for granted today.. Sinan is without a doubt one of the greatest architects the world will ever see..

    Thank you for the video..

  • hagia sofia isnt greek church now.Greek people build it but it's a museum now.

  • ahahaha,ok my friend ok:))what a stupid:)

  • Sinan lived for 100 years, back in those days?

    Check out my vid on Leonardo, it gives a better idea of his science and engineering, i had to leave loads of stuff out though, youtube only allows 10 mins.

  • Actually old age ie 75 yrs + was almost as common then as now (or 30 years ago before extreme old age started to become so common in the west) but so many more young children (under 10 yrs) died than now with fewer numbers alive in the years between. Once people got past the dangers of childhood diseases, childbearing they had a fair chance at reaching their 50-60's with the upper limits ie 75+ being on a par with 30 yrs ago. Todays western extreme old age in such #'s is unique and recent.

  • u r right abou the age issue but so as to evaluate Sinan correctly you have to research more about his personal inventions,too

  • Sinan lived to be 99.

  • hehehehe islamic architecrure? all these mosques are copies of the greek buzantine church hagia sofia(greek archirecure) these turksnot only conquered greek minor asia the also copied everything

  • yes and meca to.

    and taj mahal and so many other monument...

    alhambra, pyramides...

    all greek architecture.

  • stfu, its true that hagia sophia gave something to ottoman architecture but you have also persian influence and turkish ideas itself also the continuation of seljuk architecture. Its all those mixes where turkish style came from. If we start to collect what the greeks got from the egyptians and other giant civilisations, i think there would be not much greekish left.

  • wow.. i am impressed

  • Mimar Sinan. Allah tekrardan gani gani rahmet eylesin.

    We can see one more Turkish İslamic amazing arcitect.

  • armenian

  • WOW THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO...i am studing about leonardo da vinci,this helped me alot!

  • u r welcome

  • u r welcome

  • thank you for posting this video

    i gratefully appreciste it because i want to write a comparisons of Islamic & Byzantine Architecture & let both art known better in both views & not from the views of narrow minded people

  • sinan was albanian...moslems 4-ever

  • HE was a moslim.. And back then you was not from a country you was from a religion.. You know that.. He was a great man and I hope he will be in heaven..

  • He was born christian and drafted to be serve in jannisary corps....please know history. He came from Greek land and this was later occupied by the Turks.

    I'm not anti-Turk or pro-Greek, but the discussion about: HE is this, or he is that, just isn't relevant.

    He was an architect, greek, turk, human, man etc.

    Stop this lame discussion about etnicity and religion. For I can tell, that you aren't believers, if you read the retoric of some of you.....

  • I know history I did not say that he was born as one... But he was a muslim and he died as a muslim.. You know if someone does not want to be a moslim, it aint a problem with me / us. But Sinan became a muslim, a really good person =)

  • @vintage5 mmmmmm he was not Greek but Armenian!

  • Hey armenian moron stop stealing turkish prouds it is genetically proven that mimar sinan was a turk so stop dreaming please. Even if he was an armenian what makes you to be so proud on while you know he was educated and raised up by turks like a turk.

  • he was armenian, and armenian will remain, so suck my ALBANIAN cock you stupid turkish fuck!

  • he was a ottoman...

  • Why all the hatred for muslims? I think the west is feeling threatened by the ideas of Islam.

  • So are the Muslims.

  • @outrider52

    Wouldn't "god" be offended by the tall buildings in the modern world? Isn't that why he destroyed the tower of Babel?

    I smell hypocrisy!

  • @havee3333333 It is the sign of doomsday according to Islam. After jesus comes back the world has only 70 years and Jeses has already come according to Islamic data and signs . jut google "Farrakhan The Mahdi (pbuh) Muslim's have been waiting for has arrived"

  • @hitturkey24

    I don't believe in religion. Any dooms day situation should be handled by science departments, rather than prophecy. I can give you a list of prophetic dooms days failed predictions, if you want.

    You seem to know a lot about religion though. I told 3 other Muslims about it, and your the first to know what the tower of Babel is.

  • @havee3333333 God scattered peopleupon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages and translators like me began to gain money :)

  • @hitturkey24

    I know mate. When I was young my parents sent me to school to learn the Torah. But I no longer believe in religion.

  • @havee3333333 hv u examined all religions before this decision?

  • @hitturkey24

    Yes, I have studied the 3 Abrahamic religions, if that is what you mean. My solution to answering a problem is not going from one corrupt belief to another, and I am sorry if this offends you, but Islam is just as evil and corrupt as Christianity and Judaism.

    Some of the more interesting religions are from India.

  • @havee3333333 what is your solution then? It was seen that although communism gave equal economic conditions to everybody people were in search of spiritual satisfaction and finally communism collapsed. what all religions bring is that u r having an examination here and if you pass then you will have a real happy endless life. Religions bring some rules to evade from evil and Islam is the last version .

  • @hitturkey24

    Religions are not required to have a good life. I have had a great life, and I am happy to be alive. I do not worry myself about what happens in the afterlife, because whatever I think will only be my fear speaking. Inside the email I sent you, I wrote what the Buddha said about religion. And that is much of what I believe.

    Communism isn't dead, it is only starting.

  • @havee3333333 if you give a chance to me and search HOW YUSUF ESTES AND FRIENDS CONVERTED TO ISLAM (PART 1 in youtube this may open new horizons to you rgds

  • LEONARDO DA VINCI AN ITALIAN GENIUS

  • oh yes, muslims have no culture, byzantians created andalusia,taj mahhal, samarkand, isfahan, mostar, kairo etc...Do they teach you that shit in greek schools...

    YOu would say ottoman houses, sarays, kerwansarays, hamams, bazars, bridges etc. were created by greeks...I enjoyed you stupidty....Please more stupid comments...

  • No harm in Islam to learn good things 4m others. We all learn 4m each other but look how the west steals our petrol & never mention a word.

  • Read the Quran. Reseach what islamic art did. You are incorrect... In islam stealing is not allowed.

  • hagia sofia isnt greek church now.Greek people build it but it's a museum now.

  • Since when did you learn to build temples? you mean you employed Greek byzantine architects to build the for the ottoman empire.Until the fall of Constantinople you were nomads which makes it impossible for you to know who to build - Your American friend

  • who made ONE OF THE 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD  taj mahal MOOOOOORRRRRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNN­NNN

  • agia sofia is greek church and you turks with no civvilization in you moggols , added to her the islamic culture.when the god gives us our country back we will make the agia sofia and the universal priest the centre of the orthodox people

  • mimar sinan is better than leonardo because the some of the buildings of mimar Sinan can't be built in this age's tecnology

  • I had no idea. Thanks for posting this informative video!

  • U R WELCOM .  THANX 4 COMMENT

  • thank you for this informative video. sinan (r.a.) was indeed an amazing architect.

  • thanx 4 comment. i am glad u liked . take care

  • very interesting comparison, they are both great human minds. sinan is indeed one of, if not indeed the greatest single architect the world has ever known. leonardo is more of a great scientist all around- both are great minds if engineering.

  • Thanx for ur comment. Take care

  • tamam zeki

  • yeah, ure right.. abviously we can see how their nature (western) is, aggressive, egoists and a whole lot of rubbish in their heads. grow up dude. may ALLAH shed HIS mercy on you.

  • Sehzade Mosque is one of the most notable mosques of Sinan, attributed to be the first major large scale work after he had been appointed as the "chief architect".

    1990's during a restoration work engineers have faced a very though mission. They would have to replace a pivot stone of an arch but they didn't know how Sinan the Architect built it and with which method/kind of stone etc.

  • When they took out the pivot stone engineers found a glass bottle with some piece of paper inside it.

    When they translated the paper they were shocked: that was a letter from Sinan the Architect.

    He sad: "the lifetime of this stone is around 400 years. Within 400 years you'll probably want to replace it because it will probably begin to decompose."

  • Than Sinan stated the methods of constructions, from which part of Anatolia they can find this kind of stone and all the details etc...

    Anyway I think this is a very best example of Islamic knowledge in its height. sinin basically produced solutions for future 400 years.

  • Thanx 4 ur contribution.Best Wishes

  • shitty religion of shitty people. Please stab yourselves and get your 72 virgins. wuuuuhooo...world problem solved!

    Before you do blow all your mosques up!

  • i keep your comment to show people of the world who are actually aggressive.Western people or Moslems?

  • amca sen bu sileri birak. sana yaramaz.

  • you should not read wikipedia, you know wikipedia called "boran" as a president of kazakistan. My prof. are never allowed us students to use wikipedia. You should read really books. In wikipdia every stupid human can write what he/she wants.I study orientalistic in london and my prof. also said, that sinan was a albanian/turkish origin...

  • teddopoli, sinan`s father was albanian and mother turk.Turkey-turks are only mixed with bosnians, albanians, bulgarians...Why did spanish christians tranfer mosques in andulisia in to churces?? And yes, islamic architecture is the best: Taj Mahl in india, Andulisia in Spain, Mostar in bosnia, Turkey, Iran, Usbekistan etc. You are only jealous, i know....

  • Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

  • send me some diamonds and i will try at home :)

  • thank you. informative

  • thanks 4 ur comment

  • islamic architecture is the best. For example: Taj Mahl in india, Andulisia in Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Usbekistan etc. I know, you pigs are only jealous...

  • So, if we are jealous, why Islam people transfor churches in to mosques? And

    why Islam people are so igniorant? and they come in Europe and America in order to study?

  • islamic architecture is the best. For example: Taj Mahl in india, Andulisia in Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Usbekistan etc. I know, you pigs are only jealous...

  • Thanks for comment

  • people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

  • Those mosques look like something I've seen before that is significantly older... oh yeah, they look like copies of Agia Sophia. So he reinvented the wheel eh? over and over again... Nifty.

    I also believe that Leonardo was more a painter, engineer and inventor than an architect so I don't exactly understand the comparison.

  • Το Sinan είναι μεγάλος αρχιτέκτονας που πρέπει να διαβάσετε περισσότερους

  • Sinan was born a Christian in Anatolia in a small town called Ağırnas near the city of Kayseri, either of Greek[1][2][3] or Armenian[4] origin.

  • Islam came before the Hagia Sophia so did the shapes of mosques.

  • Now that's just wrong... From Wikipedia: "Following the destruction of the first church, a second was built by Constantius II, the son of Constantine I, but was burned down during the Nika riots of 532. The building was rebuilt under the personal supervision of Emperor Justinian I and rededicated on December 27, 537."

    Mohammed was born in the 600's and the shape of the mosque came even later that that...

    en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia

  • but really, i'm wondering where to find that stuff in egypt, i'm gonna visit egypt sooner or later, and i would like to see a real nice looking mosque.

  • thnks for the info. even though i hate islam, i admire the turks for their architecture. may be it would be better to say that turks built the structures not islamic assholes

  • shaansmsm, wtf? islamic assholes? the turks are muslims, shithead. and it was islam that developed alot of the stuff you use every day. wherever you go, islam will be on your back like a huge stone, and the only way you can get it off is to learn about it.

  • i know that turks are muslims by religion asshole. islam didn't develop the architecture allahfucker. only paedophilia and incezt are developed my muhammad, you muhammadsucker

  • good stuff, just get some slightly better recording equipment to remove the fuzz. Otherwise keep it up.

  • thanx 4 ur comment best wishes

  • last time is checked islam was a religion,leonardo da vince was a Engineer and artist.

    oh and by the way, speak english

  • Yeah i agree Da Vinci is a man and not a Religion, but i agree Islamic Science was best at Year 700-1523. But this sounded kinda good Turk24 use better mike next time >) keep up the good work

    Peace

    Asalam Aleikum

  • oh man, robty, he's speaking english with a bad mic. and he's comparing these 2 engineers from different religions.

  • abi ellerine saglik

  • ALLAH RAZI OLSUN

  • ellerine saglik abi mimar sinan dan bisey dugmamistim simidiye kadar allah razi olsun
