I am unable to put into words, except of all the documentaries I have seen on the Hagia Sophia, yours is by far the most interesting because you show it like a regular person would see it. I am disabled from a work-related accident so I will never get to see the Hagia Sophia in person, but this is the next best thing. Thank you!!
Love to you Cheryl and big Hugs
@@TheSheekozFamily Oh thank you so much!! You always make my day brighter.
Hello,And GODBLESS your Awsome Family,,So glad to know you Thu these videos,Such a beautiful Family!💞💯💞🙏🙆♀️💞
TY also for sharing this beautiful shrine to us!💞💞💞
I second your comment.
Very interesting, "The cathedral was originally built as a Greek Orthodox church which lasted from 360 AD until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453. It served as a mosque until 1935, when it became a museum. In 2020, the site once again became a mosque." (Wiki) Your video of Hagia Sophia is wonderful and the music you chose is perfect for your video.
Really a beautiful presentation. Gave me a few shivers! It is sad the building has been disrespected so much throughout its life, and the others destroyed all together.
Thank you, as always, Sheekoz family.

What beautiful scenery, and the music was very fitting of your tour in Istanbul. Thanks, Dan Sheekoz!
Your English is marvelous! And your Sati baby is the adorable 🥰 one! It is always so nice to see and hear what's happening with you . Hugs to you and your family. 🤗
Only love to you dear Teri, only love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel that I went on vacation with the wonderful Sheekoz Family! the Hagia Sophia was beyond beautiful. I especially love how you took time to touch the walls. This was exactly what I did when I was in Italy at the Colosseum and other ancient wonders. To put your hands on thousands of others who left their mark is unexplainable. I just love your compassion for the homeless as well. You and your family are just what this world needs more of. Wishing you love from Michigan!
Thank you for sharing this so gracefully, faithfully, and free from distortions 🙏🏻☦️
I love the way you filmed and put this to music. It’s absolutely ethereal. You really make beautiful vlogs Dan. Your spiritual nature shines through. ☀️ ✨ 🌙
Well said, Lillian! 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦
What a beautiful place. Thank you for showing us around. Homelessness is a problem all over the world. Food and compassion is a good combination. Stay safe and enjoy your adventure.
Seekoz Family, you are adorable! Your videography skills are amazing! I'm enjoying traveling the world through your experience! God bless your family!
Dan. The first 8 minutes of the video was EPIC. It was very emotional and I don't know why. Thanks for filming this place.
I wonder if your ancestry goes back to there.
@@sr2291 I know I have Norwegian and German in my bloodline back before relatives came to the US in 1800s. If I could travel I'd got to Mediterranean area in a heartbeat !!
@Normal_ Norm I love the Mediterranean too. Perhaps you have Sephardic Jewish ancestry.
What a breathtaking and magnificent temple; a true work of art. Can you just imagine how beautiful the first and second temples were before they were destroyed? I would have never been able to see this majestic place, so I thank you Dan and Suzie for sharing your trip with me. 🙏🏻 Now I must search for more information about the Hagia Sophia. Oh, you KNOW Sati loves corn on the cob! Lol. She shouted to let you know she was excited. Your baby girl is growing so fast. I pray you and your family are well.
One of my very favorite places in Istanbul, and all the cats that reside there. Just beautiful. Istanbul is a city of history and romance.
Istanbul is a city of islamic and moslem violence!!!
Wow, you and your family are so sweet and compassionate. May God Bless you on your continued journey!
God bless you too❤
I didn’t know that there was such a place as beautiful as that. My mouth was opened the entire time I watched this video. I wish I could visit there.
You are the most wonderful family that deserves the best life can give you. How moving to see you able to fulfill your dream of traveling and having new experiences. Your films are very well done allowing us all to share in your sightseeing of places that many of us have never been and didn't know existed. And Dan, your English is amazing!
I felt like I stopped breathing when you showed the inside of Hagia Sophia. I’ve never seen something so beautiful and breathtaking. I’m an old man, and this is the first time in my life I have ever even used the word “breathtaking “. Thank you for sharing.
I so agree
My soul was moved by the reminder of God's majesty displayed in a small way by the glory of Hagia Sophia. Thank you, Dan and Suzie for continuing to share with us the beauty of God's world and the way man chooses to show appreciation for Him!
Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine how emotional, humbling and blessed it must be to stand in the midst with others look up . Simply WOW. Well, not simply, it's breathtaking. I would be extremely overcome with emotions.
You have no idea how much it is to wake up and see you guys I live alone and it's like seeing friends and family thank you for sharing
My kids & I are from US. Weve been following your family since the pandemic/war. I feel like the whole world is cheering you on. My son came home from a Turkey trip 2 weeks ago & he asked should he look you up & buy dinner for your fam. Love to you & yours from ours. Freedom, independance & perseverance. Thank you for sharing all of our hearts go out to you💗✨
Beautiful ❤I am so glad you are getting to see these wonderful works of art! Thank you for sharing !
WOW thank you for sharing your experience! May our Heavenly Father continue to bless and be with you and your family. ❤
Take our love Kim❤
i am not remotely religious but this building still sends a shiver down my back and feel a energy and vibe from such a building
If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. God bless 🙌🏻 (Romans 10:9)
@@ilovejesusreignsforever5512 🥀🥀 Amen 🥀
That is the intention of Cathedrals, to sense God.
Have you ever wondered what those shivers are from?
It sounds like He is calling you!
What kind of temple do you think this is currently? There is a clue that is visible on the outside…1:16 I have been to it before
I love how you appreciate the history and beauty of these buildings. Thank you for sharing this with us!
The workmanship that our predecessors put into their work, If only we did 1/6th in today's buildings. Such a great video. Thank you.
What a Beautiful, Beautiful video!!! Absolutely Love this soooo much! Thank you Suzi, Dan and Beautiful Angel Sati for sharing your visit to shrines and gorgeous scenery of Istanbul! You are all blessed!! Love from New York State. 🙏😊❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️
Hi Dear Lori, big hugs to you ❣️ love to New York state from Sheekoz family
🙏🤗🤗😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️
Thank you for crafting such a beautiful study to share the majesty of this ancient wonder! 🙏
God bless you, brother!
Thank you so much for this history lesson. And, the beautiful scenery! loved it so much. Your adventures are shared with so many who will probably never see these things in person. 💞
Dan, you are really taking your editing skills to the next level. The sequence inside the Hagia Sophia was superb!
Such a peak of human creativity there, by ancient people we often consider simpler and inferior, whilst in our modern world we yet again sink to the lowest levels of human depravity.
Absolutely glorious. Walking through and touching history! What an experience! I would have just knelt down and cried. What a historic connection to a higher Being. Glorious!!
WOW what an absolutely amazing video your love of history can been seen it unbelievable on how clever they were to have structures still standing so many centuries later....and today we struggle to have things last 5 years ....thanks again for taking us on your wonderful adventure
Yeah, They were smart, kind, and surrounded themselves with beauty. Civilizations today surround themselves with weapons. That's all the difference
@@TheSheekozFamily Yes, Dan. Today weapons are worshipped, especially in the USA! By what we live, we will die! Thank you. God be with your family as you share your life with us.💞🫂🙏 TEXAS,USA Grams
Beautiful! You did a great job in the way you filmed such a historic and spiritual place.
You guys are so lucky. I've always wanted to see Hagia Sofia. Ever since I saw it in a world history textbook in the sixth grade (a *LONG* time ago 😅😅😅😅). Поздравляем вас, наши друзья! 😊😊😊😊
Hi Adorables in Istanbul !! Dan, you are so right bout lending out money to less fortunate-homeless people. I can walk into a Walmart-be approached by people asking for money for their kids! But I just take a quick glance & think to myself I could be in their shoes-so as not to judge. I maybe retired(living on limited means)but there are many doing without !!! Thank you for your giving to homelessness !!!!
THANK YOU Dan and Suzy ❤ for a FABULOUS video of these magnificent buildings in Istanbul. YOU have done very professional camera work. I just loved studying this video and really do feel I’ve visited this place. WONDERFUL Thank You 🙏
I'm in awe of the beauty you have brought to us all, how breathtaking,I'm lost for such words of beauty 💝😍
Thank you so much Dan, Suzie and Seti ✌️❤️☺️
Anita 🇧🇻
Hello Dan, Suzie and Sati! How are you all doing? I love archeology and your showing us these beautiful sites! The three doors... So much to think about there!!
Hi Dear Stacy, we are fine, today we was watching the video abou Oklahoma) Say Hi to Josh ❤ love you
@@TheSheekozFamily We love you too! Please be safe and I will say hi to Josh for you!!
That was also one of my favorite parts of the movie, the door to the past was closed.
God bless you Dan, for your quiet works of charity. Also thank you for the video of historic sites I've only heard of.
Your temple tour was very well done. Not too short and not too long. Good music to emphasize the majesty and artwork that was able to withstand the crusades.
What a privilege to visit this architectural and historical beauty.
Thank you for sharing the stunning beauty of this place. It boggles my mind to think of all the labor and love that went into the building this magnificent place, It is almost hard to imagine how it was done without modern technology, and of all the absolute brute physical force it took to build this beautiful building. What a treat is has been to see this because I'll never be able to go there. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless stay safe and Much love from Virginia, USA
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us, I will probably never go there and it is majestic. I felt moved as you did having touched the ancient carved stones. It is good that your family is able to share memories of a lifetime. May God richly bless you and yours. From Nevada, USA
Thank you so much for taking us all along with you. Many of us would never get to see these things without you being there!! Thank you for everything Dan, Susie and Sati!! Much love to you three!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for including us in your fabulous adventure! Being a senior (flying is not possible), I will never get to experience what you young folks are experiencing. Also your captions were great explanations and duration was just long enough!
Blessings from Pennsylvania, USA.
That is so kind of you to think of the homeless and giving them food you are right giving them money will only allow them to go drink or get drugs by giving them food it is better for them that you have done is so kind we need more people in this world To treat others kindly God bless you my friend❤❤
It's enthralling to know that the surfaces you've touched ,Dan , hand of ancient times touched before you. In that and more , you are a part of antiquity !! 🙂
That place is just breathtaking it's so beautiful. God bless the three of you in Jesus name!!!
Your English is now excellent, you’ve done extremely well to get so good.
I have been trying to learn Russian for over 5 years now and I find it very difficult.
It is my dream to learn your language and to one day visit your beautiful country.
Thank you for sharing your lives, travels and experiences
You have a very good channel
This Temple is quite amazing. For this to have survived for so long is a miracle.
Thank you, a pleasure to watch. I get such joy seeing Sati!! I am looking forward to your next stop on your itinerary! Safe travels.
NO WORDS! SOOOO Amazing! I was glued to this video! Can't wait for the next destination! I will keep this short, but I could ask sooo many questions. Thank you Dan& Suzie! Sati is more adorable, more beautiful, every day! 💞🫂🙏 Texas, USA Grams
So far I have cried through the first 8 minutes. It's beautiful and special. I never knew this existed.
Amazing! Thank you for this! Never in my life would I be able to see this absolutely incredible temple. Incredible art!
Thank you Adorables!
Dan, the music that you pick for certain scenes are perfectly coordinated and create emotion.
Well Done!
Beautiful, thank you. The music you've chosen adds to this majesty and reverence. Amazing to view these historic places. Edit: So well done, the angles of your views capturing such beauty and without the interference of the sounds around you there in person. Thank you.
Spain,perhaps I have been to Hagia Sophia 10 years ago what an unforgettable experience no matter what religion or no religion. Stay safe on your expedition,perhaps we may soon have a more peaceful and healthy world. From Victoria,Aus
Spain is a beautiful country. So many awesome cathedrals. I have been there a few times.
Wonderful video especially against the brilliant blue sky! Sati is putting her two cents in, I can imagine her narrating soon!!
Thank you, adorables for taking us along with you. Big hugs from Indiana, USA 💖💗💖
Thank you for taking us along! I loved Istanbul. Delighted to see you are all still so excited. Catch you on your next post!
EXCELLENT VIDEOGRAPHY!! Beautiful! God bless the Sheekoz family in their new country! from Toronto.🙏 💕 🇨🇦
I love when you wear your YOSEMITE shirt! Look at how much fun you guys are having! And there is NO SNOW there right now! Keep living the good life my friends! Love from Southern California ❤️
WOW What a beautiful moving video . God Bless you and Susie and especially Sati Baby. Much love from Gail in Worcester Massachusetts 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for showing the temple! It was so beautiful, such grandeur! I was grateful to see it with you!
How fascinating! You keep giving me more and more reasons to travel to see these things with my own eyes too! These are such priceless experiences and you and your little family are learning and seeing the world together. Your videos are getting more and more incredible Dan! Much Love from the Great Lakes US 🪷❣️
Yes, travel while you're young. When you're older, you can only dream of seeing these wonders.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ Love to you
@@jackieblue787 my mother actually first visited a foreign country at the age of 68. She is now in her 70s and she is planning a vacation to South America this spring! It’s never too late to get out there and see the world even if you see it from your wheelchair or walker even. 🧡🤗
@@TheSheekozFamily absolutely! I have been watching you and Suzie for so long now that I feel like you two are personal friends! I understand that isn’t the actual reality, but who’s to define an exact meaning for the feeling of friendship and what it must contain in order to be emotionally valid? Watching Sati growing up is honestly the biggest marker in helping to remind me just how long I’ve been watching your life now! 😄 I still recall your videos after her birth and of her first visit to the pool! As a mother I feel the experiences you and Suzie are sharing with Sati will help to form her as a person and it will always have a positive influence on her heart and on her mind! Keep up the wonderful videos adorable Dan & Suzie! All my love 💙💜🧡
@@ariavril5434 That's great! I'm retired, hubby works and we have no one to care for our animals. I will never travel again unless it's just an overnight trip. Your mom sounds great!
Thank you so much for the tour of Hagia Sophia. Truly a monument to the. best of what humans can accomplish. Imagining the interior covered with gold it must have been blinding and the thefts illustrate the worst of what humans do. Bless you Sheekoz Family and especially sweet little Sati!

Hi Siberia )
@@johnb1210 thank you ❤️🥰
@@TheSheekozFamily 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻🤗
What a magnificent place! So beautiful! Thank you for taking us along on your visit and sharing this fabulous historical and sacred place with all of us. God bless. 🙏❤️
Thank you for this beautiful video.
Watching Sati running around makes me think of the day you took Suzi to the hospital when Sati was born. You were sooooo excited that day!
When will Sati get a brother or sister??
You have such a way of capturing the feel of a place, the nature of it. Bravo, a most lovely tour! Really. Just gorgeous.
Be safe, and happy journeys!
Stunning work Dan. The music was beautiful. Best wishes to the three of you. Be well.
Stay safe Dan. Stay in Turkey with your family for as long as you can, so you can avoid all the mobilisations to come. Use more UA-cam and other monetisation platforms to help with income, including Patreon etc. I would support you there.
It's remarkably beautiful.
Can't wait to see my home in heaven 💖.
✝️📯☁️🕊️🕯️🙏🏻
Beautiful video. It’s almost like I am there with you. Thank you for this journey and for telling the history of this place. 😊
And that Lunch looks fantastic as well. That bread reminds me of Pita or Nan bread over here, both are baked in clay ovens I think. Looks great, wish I could taste those dishes. So much in one video, and thank you Dan, for helping that homeless man, you are wise my friend. You even got the air travel on the video as well. What a trip!
Ancient architecture is so incredibly beautiful! 💜🕊💜
Dear Sheekoz family ... thank you for sharing a part of the world with those of us who are unable to travel such long distances ... hopefully , someday , we can share our part of the world with you ! You make all of us proud to be neighbors ... stay safe and know you are loved !
Your talents for editing are very good! The blend of family and travelogue were excellent with imagery and music. Well done. Really enjoyed this.
Your videos, music, captions, and coverage of the Shrine were SO well done. Very nice indeed. Thank you.
Hi Adorable Sheekoz family! Happy to hear from you & best wishes for 2023 👋👍❤🇨🇦
H Mary❤ Take our love!
Speechless🥹, thank you for taking us to such beautiful places that I’d never get to see unless you did. Big hugs and so much❤️love to you all. It makes me sad that no one takes the time to make such stunning workmanship anymore, we just make boxes as fast as they can. The people who had the skills and creativity to make such amazing buildings weren’t supported so the skills have died with them.
I am so happy that you are able to travel and see such a different type of world, I hope you get to keep going🙏🏼🥰🙋🏼♀️
I was amazed at the amount of fabulous food for breakfast included in the price of rooms I stayed in. The food in Turkey is the best.. all the kinds food you could ask for or want and healthy food.
To show us these things, is the purest form of witnessing how great our god is, blessings to you Suzi,Sati and you loved ones
I’m still watching you, I haven’t stopped. You are having a wonderful life.
Love the video. I see things I would never get to see in person
The doors and hall are beautiful, may the Lord bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you and your beautiful family 🙏🏾 the background music was lovely
Omg! It’s so beautiful and historic. I am in awe of that place. What an experience for you guys to actually see it. I didn’t know such a site was in Istanbul. I am in praise of God.🙏
Istanbul used to be known as Constantinople, the mosques you see now we’re Christian churches temples, in the Byzantine empire, for some reason the Muslims did not destroy the pictures of Christ , it is interesting to visit Istanbul , the people who are there are very nice. But the sales people are almost as bad as in Rome ,
@@max420thc They did not destroy the golden Byzantine mosaics of Jesus and Mary, but they were covered in plaster for hundreds of years. Ataturk, who worked at modernizing and secularizing Turkey proclaimed the Haigia Sophia as a museum, and they started the laborious process of uncovering the beautiful Byzantine mosaics on the walls. Thank goodness for Ataturk, or they would still be covered.
I was wondering why there was a Christian church in a Muslim country. I saw the mosaics and I thought it was Christian. I know that Muslims acknowledge Jesus and his mother Mary, for it’s in the Koran, and I appreciate that they didn’t destroy those beautiful artifacts.
@@jgriffin282 Did they cover it with plaster? Were you there when they were doing it? There are 300 churches and Christian foundations in Istanbul. How many mosques are there in Greece for Muslims who have lived for 500 years? you should thank the turks for protecting such monuments.. they keep animals in mosques in all countries where the turks have withdrawn
@@jgriffin282 Did you use plaster when converting the Kurtuba mosque into a church?
I am just speechless!! This is the most magnificent place i have ever seen!! Just utterly BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you so much for sharing💯❤🙏
Thank you Dan. What a kind beautiful and sensitive soul you are. This is amazing, thank you for sharing this moment this place with us. Blessings to your family and friends. The music is so beautiful and perfect for this video.
thank you Dan and the sheekoz family for sharing this beautiful historic place on earth with us because I would never have seen this in my life time god bless you all
There are a lot of homeless Syrian refugees in Istanbul... A very nice thing you do giving some good food. You have a very decent soul.
Dan, you take us so many places, thank you. This is simply amazing!
Such breathtaking beauty! Thank you for bringing it to us! Thanks to your videos, baby Sati will have much to remember in 20 years.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Your love of these old buildings and history is felt to the core of our human souls. Absolutely wonderful.
Blessings dear ones. Thank you for taking us with you to this wonderful place. I’m just so happy you are well and safe. The USA 🇺🇸 loves you all ❤
Absolutely we do!
These temples seem to have been made by beings from another world. The architect is to advanced for our past civilization. Thank you so much for the video 😘
I was there many years ago but I feel like your video allows me to experience it in a much more profound way. You captured its essence so beautifully, Dan! Well done, my friend! Brilliant job!
Almost as beautiful as the Sheekoz Family. ❤ Thank you for taking us along again!
You are having such an amazing adventure. What a blessing! Thanks for sharing your beautiful footage. Continued safe travel. Love you guys!
What a wonderful place to visit , Sati liked the sound of her voice echoing in the entrance of that building .you are a sweetheart Dan to give food to the homeless , bless you 🙏
What a beautiful video. The music is perfect for such a grand and gorgeous historical treasure. Thank you so much for taking us all there.
Beautiful work, Dan. Stay safe. Keep sharing.
Love!
