    It's kind of odd that people who cannot accept that ancient peoples built pyramids & megaliths & other large structures don't dispute the cathedrals built during the middle ages throughout Europe. With the exception of having iron tools/using mortar the technology used was basically the same. They built scaffolds, had human or animal powered cranes, low tech tools to determine angles & standard measurements (plumb & square) & a lead engineer/architect plus teams of specialists/crafts people (guilds) In our modern day where we can watch an apt building go up in a week or two, it's difficult to fathom building projects that required decades or more. Sometimes multiple lifetimes.

      If you accidentally go down on ancient alien type wormhole you will find people trying to claim that cathedrals in Brazil could not have been built by humans without modern power tools who don't seem to realise that it took centuries to build them which it definitely would not have taken if they had power tools...

      I think it's because their are more records of building those particular structures, and its better to understand how they did it with the tools they had at the time. Compare that with people who didn't have a writing system and hadn't even invented the wheel, and the completion of those structures is harder to understand.

      Much of the skepticism comes from the tools available at the time. Most would agree that "carving" marble for example would be a hard task to complete with a bronze tool. But if the public school teacher tells you it happened it must be true.

      "Hard task" for modern people means impossible, since they couldn't be bothered to do the same. Most people take their car to reach their mailbox. People would benefit from working with their hands, without power tools. Especially with a group of people. Gives some perspective. Never underestimate the ingenuity of the human spirit, and the sheer power of a LOT OF DUDES.@@brassteeth3355

WHOOPS! So no, "most would" NOT "agree" that carving marble with bronze would be "a hard task". It is incredibly easy. The fact that you were so arrogant about it is hilarious.

    As a Greek Australian atheist, I honestly don't care about the religious claims over agia Sofia. But I honestly do wish it was still a museum.
    There was no real need to convert/ reconsecrate it back into a mosque.
    I think the building deserves to be a museum and display the awesome mixing, blending and succession of cultures.
    It's a great historical and architectural building that should be enjoy to it's full.

      Honestly, most of the Roman/Greek artifacts were removed and/or destroyed when it became the Suleiman Mosque. Most of those items are images which goes against Islam (kinda like some Christian sects frown upon imagery). If you note the video of the interior, the design elements were abstract geometric and calligraphy and not 'graven images'.
      The famous Greek/Roman/Byzantian imagery remaining in the Mosque were kinda mistakes tucked into places hard to get to.
      I was there before it changed back to a mosque. The women in our group did not need head coverings so it wasn't a mosque. There was one small area where those famous Justinian images still remain. Our friends who where showing us around (the hotel staff loved us 🙂) routed us to that area. They were not happy about the destruction of history - but, it is what it is. That destruction would not occur today.

      I don't think it matters if artifacts have been removed and mosaics covered up with plaster ( which we are to thank for the preservation of the mosaics). I don't think that matters. The building itself is an amalgamation of cultures and should be treated as a historic monument for others to learn from. Not reverted to a religious building.
      The republic of Türkiye was founded on secularism and the agia Sofia museum was an important symbol of this secular foundation. It should have stayed like that

    I was lucky enough to visit all these awe-inspiring places earlier this year, but it's still amazing to see them again here. I even stayed in the same part of town. I might be wrong, but I think the upstairs area of Hagia Sofia with the mosaics is actually closed for conservation, rather than because of the building being converted back into a Mosque, so should hopefully be accessible to the public again at some point. You can reach the aqueduct and city walls by bus or tram as well as by car. Also, it wasn't included in this tour (presumably because it's 'only' a few hundred years old and doesn't qualify as truly 'ancient'), but the Topkapi palace is an absolute must-see for anyone with an interest in history, and many of Istanbul's Ottoman mosques are architectural masterpieces as well.

    • @marvelfannumber1
      @marvelfannumber1 11 місяців тому +6

      They say it's for "conservation", but there is not a single sign of any "conservation" work being done there. It's been closed for almost 4 years now, and there's no signs of anything being done there. This is despite the Turkish government saying the galleries will still be open as a museum after the re-conversion to a mosque, this was a lie I guess.
      Another lie was that they said the mosaics would only be covered during prayer time, but the apse mosaic is covered at all times.
      Couple that with the restricted access, the massive decline in maintenance and the ancient floor being permanently covered with carpets (this is not for their protection, the floors have actually suffered *more* damage in the past 4 years than they ever did when it was a museum).
      The whole situation is shameful in my opinion. But I suppose this is just the ugly byproduct of conservation and world heritage becoming politicized for populist demagoguery.

      @@marvelfannumber1 I'm not going to defend Erdogan or any of his disgusting 'populist' policies, but I don't think the closure of the upstairs parts of Hagia Sofia is directly related to the mosque conversion. Turkey's undergoing a severe economic crisis caused by both Erdogan's policies and the after-effects of the recent earthquake. Loads of state institutions were closed when I visited this summer, and the inflation Turkish people are living with made that we've recently experienced in the USA and Europe seem like nothing.
      If they haven't got the money to safely open historic buildings to the public without the risk of damage, then I'd much rather they kept them shut until they've got it.

      I mean, the galleries were open the day before it became a mosque, then when it became a mosque they were immediately closed.
      I don't think the Turkish government cares that much about conservation unfortunately. For instance, they were doing renovations in the nave, with tons of scaffolding up to 2020. Then those renovations were abruptly ended, simply because Erdogan wanted the scaffolding down, not because the work was actually done.
      The local government of Istanbul has been doing good work recently though. They're conducting excavations and restorations at the Boukoleon Palace, and have recently done some repair work on the walls. But the Istanbul government does not have control over Hagia Sophia, that falls under a central government ministry, which is much more incompetent and poorly organized unfortunately.

    Happy New Year Professor Miano and Natalie, both of you have given viewers like myself a look into the past that is set in the concrete of facts and not suppositions. Great work Natalie; Great work David!

    21:31 hard disagree. I am even painting my altar statues now xD
    Guess its a cultural thing but they painted things to give them life. Looking at these with the paint faded is like looking at corpses, especially from a pagan stand point.
    Currently painting a statue of Antheia and am planning to buy two replicas of Thorsvalden's Day & Night to paint. One is going to be Hemera and the other is of course Nyx (I got a original piece of day but I am not allowed to paint it lol)

    I love your content! ❤ the low framerate is a production choice i take it. Personally i find it hard to watch the most choppy sections of the video

      Not a choice. The settings on the camera were wrong during the morning of that day.

    Did you hire a local videographer or set up each scene/shoot with a remote-activated tripod-mounted camera, for lights, camera action filming? Excellent Video production.

    What were the ladies trying from the tree at 38:28? It looked different. Just curious, and if it is already in the comments, I guess I missed it. Oh well I found it. It is a Morus alba (white mulberry) tree. If anyone else was as curious as I was. Great video, I loved it!

    Great episode. But I have one quibble
    Eurasia is a continent. The largest one, in fact. Europe and Asia are regions. They do not meet the modern definitions of "continent"
    Such things were defined differently in the old days

    You can bet that the holy music playing during the Hagia Sophia section was not "live". Breaks my heart to see that cathedral misused so. Good video, tho.
