nice video. May i ask what this wish column is?

@aousbyzantinologos

People put their thumb finger into the hole and turn their hand 360degree circular and make a wish which they think will come true if their finger comes out wet. Some believe that the moisture heals eye diseases. In reality, the column is of the type of stone which absorbs moisture easily .

Long live Constantinopole! Agia Sophia will be ours again one day!

Fact: Constantinopal was not captured by Arabic Muslims until around 1489 A.D.. There were already Turks in present day Turkey living there due to the mongrul invasions. Turks originated near to China and present day Turkey as a mix of many different nationalities such as greek, ancient Hitite and many other cultures that were mixed along the way. Present day Turkey has mixed blood lines just like the U.S. does today. FYI They are considered "white." It was christian until 1480's

@Amz155 No,Christians, Muslims and Jews are NOT Gods children fool! What you meant to say is servants.Please say it right next time.Also something which I would like to point out is that it's always the Christians and Jews who start the hatred amongst the Muslims.There are many reasons and presumptions but either way the Muslims used to try their best to ignore their misguided neighbours of the similar belief and to reason with them because it was the ways of their beloved Prophet Muhamed(pbuh).

[Amz155]

Also after watching this if the Muslims wanted to destroy all trace of the Christians, then why are the pictures of Mary and Baby Jesus Still on Ceiling, not to mention the mosaics. Keep your hate internal people, children see this stuff!

[Amz155]

Funny how both sides are flinging hate around like it's righteous. How would God view your comment whitechristian, and how would Allah view yours GudMuzlim. Both of you are expressing hate over a holy icon... why.. Christians believe in God, Muslims in Allah, they even have many of the same stories and are alike in so many ways that they really are the SAME! Why can't you see that? Who controlled the church was about kings, not God/Allah, Muslim/Christian we are all Gods/Allahs children.
