@DeathBlade182 The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern half of the Roman Empire. After Rome's fall, it continued as the Roman Empire for a 1000 years. The term "Byzantine Empire" came about by a 19th century French historian who tried to differentiate with the old empire because it was Greek speaking, Christian, Greek in culture, and did not include Rome. They considered themselves Roman and so did everyone else. The majority of the people in the empire were Greek, Slavic, and Armenian.
And since the Muslims stole Constantinoble, they should'nt complain about the Jews taking back Jerusalem, or Russia taking back Grozzy, or India taking back Kashmir.
Every Muslim city existing today used to belong to someone else (mostly Christians) before it was forcibly stolen and taken through blood by the followers of some Satanic false prophet.
Pity isnt it? We will never give you back Jerusalem, and we mid as well not even take any others because they are all mud and shit. KARMA
@kyle887923 that cristians mostly converted to islam istanbul was not belong to greeks nor roman there use to be someothers lived in this city and jarusalem not belong to satanic cult so call zionism and masons
@kyle887923 So you're saying Muslim lands used to belong to people like the Christians and other religions? That's true. But I can counter that back by saying, most of Christian lands used to be ruled by people who practise pagan religions, shamanism and so on. Just saying the two-way you know.
I can see the Hagia Sophia is still being preserved well and stands tall to these days. This shows that Muslims always admire and favor your architecture. Beautiful indeed.
Hafia Sophia is realy the same thing like the biggest Mosque (Mezquita) ever build in Europe. Al-Andalus (spain today) was a Islamic country, till the Christian crusaders destroyed it. They have made the Mezquita into a Kathedral. Same thing what happend with the Hagia Sophia, but then the other way around
Thats how much you know. You fucken egur turks raped my grandmother in 1922. Yoe call that civilized. My people had to live minor asia other wise they were going to get killed. They left every thing behind and start fresh in Greece and now the USA. They can fuck with Greece but they cant do shit to Greeks. It will all be ours some day. You pricks are a minority.
@slida65 u r not right first think noone raped your groundmother second think your people had to go mout from minor asia cose they sport greek army against turks in world war and they run when greeks lost the war in minor asia , when ottomans go out from greece greeks destroyed everything what beling turks mosques,scools arts and many thinks but when turks control its teritory they never tuch others or their structures thats why we r diferent and we r muslum
Sparkling Agia Sophia..no-lost land but unforgetable holy land of Constantinoupoli. Soon Constantinoupoli is gonna be back to Greeks. This is not a will of Greeks but a will of God n' we must admit it, according to profices. Besides this land belongs for ever to Greeks and Orthodox Christianity.
it is not a museum aw Turks want to call it . IT IS A MONUMENT. They are extremelly afraid to call it as such and they have their reasons that I understand......But we all know by common sence that a museum is the building that includes the exhibits...A building like Agia sofia or the Parthenon or the Colosieum are monuments ....not buildings....It is like calling Stonehenge......a museum instead of a monument ....Simply rediculus ......
it doesn't matter whether Hagia Sophia was a church or a mosque, it is a museum now..and in fact, knowing both Christianity and Islam symbols blended together, enduring all those years side by side, one could only hope for the mankind. Grow up, people! We are all humans.. Leave it to aliens for you to realize that!
Turkey has an amazing history. It is just unfortunate for them that none of it is theirs. That has to be upsetting at a subconscious level to the Turks. "Come to Turkey and see all of our historic sites that out ancestors had absolutely nothing to do with!" That has to hurt...
@mrh3tic I'm sure they claim that some of them descended from Greeks. So that those ruins are "theirs". Of course they may not want to mention that that was the result of kidnapping and rapes. But hey, Turkey is multicultural and open. They told us themselves.
@ilovethe80snole yea i hope thats sarcasm. multicultural, with a history of genocide. in the words of ata turk, "we will create a turkey for the turks" the first step he took was the elimination of 2-2.5 million greeks, and a further 1 million armenians from the face of the earth. i have been to alot of places in turkey. never once did they say greek. it was either byzantine, roman, persian, or helenic influenced..
You are really very ignorant about Turkey and turks. We are the turks wich once ruled the world. It was our ancestors (ottomans) wich ruled in 3 continents. It was our ancestors wich tremble the hearts of the europeans wich relied on the doors of Vienna. It was my ancestors wich closed a century and opened another one. You can find ottoman history not only in Anatolia, also in the balcans, middle east and north Africa. You need an education about the turks.
@xxTurquiaxx You are not even turks, you are poor turkicized people who forgot your identity. You are like mexican indians who think they are spaniards. How can you "turks" have proud of the identity and religion of your conquerors? CONSTANTINOPLE FOREVER
@xxTurquiaxx You mean the "brave" Ottoman soldiers that fled when they saw the winged Polish Hussar knights running after them, then subsequently were routed and set the Ottoman Empire off on a 400 year spiral of decline? I know all about the Turks. The kidnapping of Christian subjects first born sons and force conversion to Islam and forced conscription in the Ottoman army. The genocides. The oppression. Nice history...
@Octavivs Yes. Unfortunately the some of the Byzantines were taken as slaves and had were forced to intermingle with the Mongol Turks. So some of them have Byzantine roots.
@ilovethe80snole Look at the Muslim invasion of Egypt in the 7th century. They destroyed an amazing culture and have turned Egypt into a shit hole. I wouldn't be surprised if Muslims claim they built the pyramids. I have talked to an Egyptian Muslim and she claimed that they were always there and their descendants built the pyramids. They fail to see their genetic features have no relation to Ancient Egyptians and they also fail to realize that in fact Coptic Egyptians are the true descendants.
@DelijaIzKrajine Eygpt was a powerfull and strong econonic and military power for along time in some shape or form. Even today its has large powerful military and owns the Suez canal.
@ilovethe80snole I believe you have not done your research thoroughly. There are many historical sites left from Seljuks, Ottomans and other Beyliks in Turkey. And Seljuks and Ottomans have left many historical sites which are, at present, outside of Turkey. People who go to Hagia sophia also visits Sultanahmet mosque (Blue mosque), topkapi palace, dolmabahce palace, grand bazaar, spice bazaar and many hamams (bath houses) which were built during Ottoman reign.
@ilovethe80snole Actually when the Turks conquered what its modern day "Turkey" from the Byzantines in the 12th-13th century, it was a military conquest and its is shown that only a few hundred thousand actual Turks settled there. The vast majority of its population was native and eventually labelled as "Turks" even though they never are actually from the Turk race. The vast majority have western "Turks" have strong Greek genetics. You also have armenian and Kurds in Turkey.
Tear off those minarets and take away those medallions! Destroy the islamic symbols that cover the greek mosaics. Restore Hagia Sophia as a church! Let us see the glory of Byzantium flourish once again!
This should be in greek hands, Constaninople should be not only part of greece..but its capital.
The turks can remain in Anatolia but give Cyprus, Constaninople, Smyrna, Ephesus and all the stolen greek land to greece once more.
Stupid Christians why don't you think!? You claim that the muslims copied the design of the Hagia Sophia and used it for their mosques, what about the time when you copied the Muslims architecture back in Al-Andalus and made it your own!? You named it Moorish Revival or Neo-Moorish architecture! You built the churches of Spain with muslim architecture which was originally called Moorish architecture! Think before you spit out garbage...crazy infidels!
@GudMuzlim786 infidel is a Christian word so stop pinching our words for you. Also it is fact you pinched and used the design of the Holy Wisdom for your mosques. At lot of the moorish revival was by Shepharic jews who came from the east and hence your islic archetecture was influenced by the Jews again. Then the Christians used the designs left behind and used by the jewsalready to use the eastern archetecture.
@jdi0093113 infidel is used in Christianity and Islam you moron!
I mentioned this before somewhere on YouTube that when the turks conquered Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia gave the turks an idea. The turks improved the design of the Hagia Sophia in a better, extraordinary form. The result is Sultan Ahmed Mosque. You dumb christians did copy the Moorish architecture of the muslims up till the 19th century and yes it was the jews as well. Check out Neo-Moorish on wikipedia! Don't deny these facts!
@GudMuzlim786 I am just mentioning that you go on about Christians stealing things and here you are a Christian word created to for the muslim. You here are clearly the moron.
The muslims ruined the Aya Sofia. Thankfully one of the sultans decided not to listen to the rest of the muslims and put plaster over the beauty of the building and fooling them. You built a mosque that looked liek a church with minarets and coloured tiles and not icons. So moorish design came from Christian Design.
@GudMuzlim786 The turks "aded" to it and mae it better? Seriously, muslims were responsible for the death of byzantine and they could never put two stones next to each other to build a basic wall. Turks brought rot in anatolia and balkans and they are responsible for the world's going backwards for a few centuries.
If turks never existed the man would have gone to the moon about 200 years ago, because muslims ruined all the knowledge of the ancient world from Hellas, Egypt and Anatolia!
@rochimaruu I love how you can reply in one sentence and simply say "bullshit"
Imagine if the turks never invaded anatolia and balkans, how forward the world would have been. Not to mention the invasion of the muslims in non muslim societies.
I wonder why nobody goes to a muslim country and even the natives want to leave to a better non-muslim country.
@TsakirisAlexandros Look, whenever the muslims tried to capture a country. They only did it for one purpose, to spread the true message of God and that in the end resulted in a much peaceful and better life. When the Ottomans conquered Kostantinyye, they didn't get rid of all of the Byzantines like barbaric Christians would. But in fact they kept them as prisoners and were very just. This is why some Ottomans were descendants of Byzantines. Köse Mihal was the first Byzantine to convert to Islam.
@TsakirisAlexandros cont. Also why do you say that the turks couldn't build anything but yet they've done it!? The turks built much more buildings and structures than you think. For example, Mimar Sinan was known as one of the best architects in the whole world contructing over 400 buildings. The Ottoman Turks were very well developed in technology. It was one of the reasons how they managed to capture other countries. Muslims improved knowledge of the Romans. Europe wouldn't be where it is now!
@GudMuzlim786 So their amazing civilization led to the conquer of the european civilization?Seriously, I think the lack of humanity and civilization led them to be so brutal to kill anyone they wanted so as to conquer those who opposed them.
The whole world ows the muslims everything for destroying the old world and all the knowledge with it.
Was the first person in moon a turk because I do not remember.
@aksamgunesiim turks tried to built blue mosque instead of Hagia Sophia kilisesi and made just a stupid bulding with four ungly columns like the elephant's feed xaxaxa!!!. the only things Otoman's knew well is made genocities...
Allah size akıl fikir versin neden bu kadar ısrarcısınız just i said mosque and ottoman's are stronger turks are better than you cause they are muslim. you cant undertand what is it
@unfukkkmee The real JESUS is GOD. He gave his life no one took it from him. You are a lost foool mif you don't believe it. The real JESUS spoke Hebrew, and Greek. Whe the real JESUS said you are the light of the world he was speaking to Jews.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first,
@BartofGod jews ? THE PALESTINE HAS NO jews OR arabs IN ANCIENT YEARS. THE PALESTINES HAS ONLY GREEK CRETANS THE JESUS INSULTS THE jews THE JESUS SPEAKED IN jews WHY WAS SICKEST BRAINS. THE JESUS SAYED HOW THE GREEKS IS THE LIGHT OF HUMANITY. THE old testament IS WORDS OF SATAN THE new testament IS WORDS OF JESUS
@unfukkkmee If they killed Him He didn't die for you. Your hate is of Satan. You can't hate the Jews, and love JESUS. The Cross is a JESUS symbol. There were no Greek apostles..
@BartofGod DIRTY jew I HATE jews WHY THE talmud insults THE HELLAS. THE PERIOD OF ottoman POSSESSION OF HELLAS. THE jews GIVED ORDERS FOR MURDERS AGAINST GREEKS MANY TIMES. CROSS IS HELLENIC SYMBOL AND jesus HAS NO nation THE jerusalem IS GREEK CITY BUT IN jewish POSSESSION
@unfukkkmee jesus spoke aramaic. not greek. I am greek myself and the ottoman muslims stuffed up beautiful architecture and mosaics. they are proud of what they did.
they stole a magnificent piece of history and architecture and it needs to be claimed back.
THE JASON - JESUS IS GREEK FROM GREEK CITY OF NAZARET. THE MADONNA IS GREEK FROM GREEK CITY OF GALILEE. LISTEN NOW ARAMAIC IS LANGUAGE WHO CREATED BY GREEK ALPHABET. AND THE JESUS SPOKE GREEK LANGUAGE. THE JESUS SAIED HOW THE GREEK IS LIGHT(CREATION) OF HUMANITY.
@nicolettaabaaybee ΔΕΝ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΔΑ. ΠΟΤΕ ΜΙΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΔΑ ΔΕΝ ΘΑ ΛΕΓΕ ΠΟΤΕ ΛΟΓΙΑ ΚΑΤΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΣ
Agia Sofia belongs or not to turkey was build from greeks and that doesnt change even Konstantinoupoli is turkish! and it has more value t create that church as greeks did than have it u turks! u turks couldnt build something like that even 1300 years later when u tried to build blue mosque with the same architecture and size as agia sofia! thats th only thing that counds and nothing else! and th fact that u destroyed it and u havent fixed it yet shows how barbarian ann uncivill people u are!
fuck u dumb greeks hatin on the hagia sophia...haha it belongs to the turks now, just how australia, america, south america was conquered from its original people.
Stolen from a dying empire and disgraced by destroying the mosaics (no efforts have been made to restore them so far), removing the crucifixes and icons. Believers were murdered, raped or enslaved .... the "glorious" deeds and "contributions" of the Ottomans...
and stop insist that stupid thing Not Istanbul its Constantinople . IT WAS CONSTANINOPLE ABOUT 600 YEARS AGO.TILL WHEN WE TOOK IT on 1453.by the Conqueror Mehmet,Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han.and it became istanbul.this is the name what we given it.and it will.as long as we have these lands.it name is Istanbul.just stop fooling urselves.
Agia Sofia/Sophia = Holy Wisdom (and refers to Mary, mother of Jesus our Lord)
Istanbul = IS TIN POLI= IsTinBol= To The City (question: were are you going? answer: to the city) and the City was Constantiloupoli...So Istanbul derived from the Greek. The Half Moon and the Star flag of turkey is the symbol of byzandium and before byzandium was the symbol of Artemis the Greek Goddess of hunters. so...learn that your history is OUR STOLEN PART OF CIVILISATION ! Yours is back to mongolia.
Maybe you think that you are very smart about history but you are in a BIG Fault. Only where you are right is the name of Hagia Sophia. The rest is greek ignorance!
There was a time in the history where Istanbul was called as Istinpoli, in these time the turks called it also as Istinbolin. After that, the city got the name Islambol (rich of Islam). Finally in the time of Mustafa Kemal the city get its last name Istanbul. So istinpoli was only one of many names of this city
If we come to the theme about the half moon and star on our flag, your opinion is typical greek (always claim that everything has greek origins). Once the symbol of Turks was the sun or a wolve. The sun was a symbol of our faith of ancient times (shemanism) and the wolve was a symbol of the first Turk (there is a saying that the fist turk was grow up by a wolve). After we came to Anatolia we became muslims and get the half moon and star as a symbol of our new faith ISLAM
So the fact is we get the half moon and star as our symbol after we became muslims. That is the reason why you can find the same half moon and star on the flags of Algeria, Libya, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Maldives, Pakistan, Singapur, Malaysia. I hope you will understand how brainwashed informations you get in your fascist education.
what are you telling me there? go back to the ruins of Greece and pray with your thousand statues of the gods do not exist! I have nothing against Greeks, but I like Greeks such as yourself do not invent any stories
"UR '' GOD '' LOST BY HELLENES IN ARABO- BYZANTINE WARS"
what are you telling me there? go back to the ruins of Greece and pray with your thousand statues of the gods do not exist! I have nothing against Greeks, but I like Greeks such as yourself do not invent any stories
The Christians can have their Hagia Sophia(byzantine church in turkey) and the muslims will take back the Mezquita(moorish mosque in Spain). How about it? "After all, both monuments are religious wonders!"
i'm talking as a turk. what do u want us to do, man? our ancestors came here 1000 years ago. i didnt choose to live here and now 50 million people should move back to middle asia?
@fofisofi 21 you told that i didnt. it WAS greek and we WERE in mongolia ancient times. İ like to tell what i truly feel about those idiots whom are stick to past like horse shit. İ am not racist at all. but i will be nightmare to whom are racist and history laggers... İstanbul is İstanbul Hagia Sophia is Ayasofya since 1453. and whomever even dares even think otherwise (not to mention retake or anything not possible at all anyways which would cause your own doom) will find us facing them.
Well I’m not Turkish I’m Arabic and yes Islam is about peace and forgiveness, some Muslims did bad things but that doesn’t mean that all Muslim people are bad, I believe that Hitler himself was Christian and no need to tell you what he did but I know that he was just one evil person who happened to be Christian and he is not evil because he is Christian, he is evil because he is evil.
we nationalist Turks are eager to fight for our lands if nessesary and REtake what was ours once. enjoy our colonial ass licker governments soft representation of us. you will see what is underneath that soft appearance very soon.
I’m an Arabic Muslim and I have to say that real Islam is about kindness, forgiveness and respecting others religion, we don’t force anyone to be Muslim so what Turks did to the church was a big mistake and they only made Christians hate us, but people make mistakes and I just hope that Muslims and Christians can live together in peace.
i just wanna say we conquered you conquered ,but if you wanna make it islam or whatever ,built around it,near it,built bigger, better but dont ever make it destroy it to make it yours,its a monument no meter from what its created,
its like taking picasso picture and draw over it to make it yours picture
ITS NOT A CHURCH. ITS A MUSEUM LIKE YOU SAID AND IF YOU SAY "ONCE CHURCH ALWAYS A CHURCH", THAN WE WILL SAY "ONCE MOSQUE ALWAYS A MOSQUE"AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR MIND AND MINE IS THAT WE CAN REALIZE OUR MIND BUT YOU DONT,BECAUSE THIS BUILDING IS UNDER OUR CONTROL.
Both sides of this argument are being incredibly narrow-minded and stupid. The Ottoman Empire was one of the few long lasting multi-culturalist societies in the history of the world. It was a society in which Muslims, Christians, and Jews could live together in tolerance and peace. You are all spitting on that legacy with your idiotic, hateful comments.
Hagia Sophia is built for pray the creator and what a dumbest persons you are swearing the creator not thank.How a devil thing is human being can be.Respect christian orthodox but not respect racist pigs.
It Break my heart to see this Church in the state it is and to be frank not in the hands of its true owners Christianity and the Greeks. Say what you will yes its in the hands of Turkey now. The building is always a church, rip its heart out, fill it with what ever mirabs are or black shields on its walls, Deep down you know its a Church, lie to yourself if you wish to to denie it, Do you want mosques that are inspired by christianity? Go to the Blue Mosque. Intresting thought, Id rather not!

blue mosque is just a fake Hagia sophia . Hagia sophia was completed in 537 as the absolute church and blue mosque was completed in 1617 that's means that hagia sophia is 1080 years older than blue mosque !
HAGIA SOPHIA IS NOT COMPARED WITH BUE MOSQUE its by far better !!!
@saveyard It breaks my heart to see that most Christians are dumbass hypocrites. You guys stole the Great Mosque of Cordoba and turned it into a Cathedral. Then you Christians are praying in a cathedral that's deep down a MOSQUE! WOW! A cathedral that comes from Islamic roots. In fact, some of the things historically very important were created by the Caliphate of Cordoba, including the best education centre. What do you have to say for yourself, you hypocrite jerk!
Ha!Ha!Ha!...You are wrong: "The Mosque of Cordoba", was, initially a little gothic church dedicated to St. Vincent.
When the muslims came to Spain, they turned it into a mosque, and started to expand it and to decorate it...etc.
During the Spanish centralization, King Ferdinand of Castillia re-conquered Cordoba and returned the mosque into church. After that, the next Kings built the christian "nava" on the old structures. What happend is very normat.
Hagia sophia must be finished that mustnt be in turkey!! Im turk and i dont want that there are church's damn!!!

You are really very ignorant about Turkey and turks. We are the turks wich once ruled the world. It was our ancestors (ottomans) wich ruled in 3 continents. It was our ancestors wich tremble the hearts of the europeans wich relied on the doors of Vienna. It was my ancestors wich closed a century and opened another one. You can find ottoman history not only in Anatolia, also in the balcans, middle east and north Africa. You need an education about the turks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Muslims claim they built the pyramids. I have talked to an Egyptian Muslim and she claimed that they were always there and their descendants built the pyramids. They fail to see their genetic features have no relation to Ancient Egyptians and they also fail to realize that in fact Coptic Egyptians are the true descendants.

Then the Christians used the designs left behind and used by the jewsalready to use the eastern archetecture.

I mentioned this before somewhere on YouTube that when the turks conquered Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia gave the turks an idea. The turks improved the design of the Hagia Sophia in a better, extraordinary form. The result is Sultan Ahmed Mosque. You dumb christians did copy the Moorish architecture of the muslims up till the 19th century and yes it was the jews as well. Check out Neo-Moorish on wikipedia! Don't deny these facts!

The muslims ruined the Aya Sofia. Thankfully one of the sultans decided not to listen to the rest of the muslims and put plaster over the beauty of the building and fooling them. You built a mosque that looked liek a church with minarets and coloured tiles and not icons. So moorish design came from Christian Design.

@GudMuzlim786 The turks "aded" to it and mae it better? Seriously, muslims were responsible for the death of byzantine and they could never put two stones next to each other to build a basic wall. Turks brought rot in anatolia and balkans and they are responsible for the world's going backwards for a few centuries.

@TsakirisAlexandros Look, whenever the muslims tried to capture a country. They only did it for one purpose, to spread the true message of God and that in the end resulted in a much peaceful and better life. When the Ottomans conquered Kostantinyye, they didn't get rid of all of the Byzantines like barbaric Christians would. But in fact they kept them as prisoners and were very just. This is why some Ottomans were descendants of Byzantines. Köse Mihal was the first Byzantine to convert to Islam.
GudMuzlim786 5 months ago
@TsakirisAlexandros cont. Also why do you say that the turks couldn't build anything but yet they've done it!? The turks built much more buildings and structures than you think. For example, Mimar Sinan was known as one of the best architects in the whole world contructing over 400 buildings. The Ottoman Turks were very well developed in technology. It was one of the reasons how they managed to capture other countries. Muslims improved knowledge of the Romans. Europe wouldn't be where it is now!

Maybe you think that you are very smart about history but you are in a BIG Fault. Only where you are right is the name of Hagia Sophia. The rest is greek ignorance!
There was a time in the history where Istanbul was called as Istinpoli, in these time the turks called it also as Istinbolin. After that, the city got the name Islambol (rich of Islam). Finally in the time of Mustafa Kemal the city get its last name Istanbul. So istinpoli was only one of many names of this city

@EllinonEnosis
If we come to the theme about the half moon and star on our flag, your opinion is typical greek (always claim that everything has greek origins). Once the symbol of Turks was the sun or a wolve. The sun was a symbol of our faith of ancient times (shemanism) and the wolve was a symbol of the first Turk (there is a saying that the fist turk was grow up by a wolve). After we came to Anatolia we became muslims and get the half moon and star as a symbol of our new faith ISLAM

So the fact is we get the half moon and star as our symbol after we became muslims.

When the muslims came to Spain, they turned it into a mosque, and started to expand it and to decorate it...etc.
During the Spanish centralization, King Ferdinand of Castillia re-conquered Cordoba and returned the mosque into church. After that, the next Kings built the christian "nava" on the old structures. What happend is very normat.
