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.

@nicholashurst780 8 месяцев назад

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... Almost like no one is amazed by humans doing things that are impressive they are just so racist that they can't believe anyone they don't perceive as milky white could

@maxpowers9129 8 месяцев назад

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.

@brassteeth3355 8 месяцев назад

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.

@SimonMester 7 месяцев назад

"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

@AnyoneCanSee 6 месяцев назад

@@brassteeth3355 - The hilarious part of your arrogant and condescending comment is that you probably meant granite, as marble rates a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale and is considered "very soft" and "easily carved". 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. "if the public school teacher tells you it happened it must be true." Those fools who learned the difference between soft and hard stone, what fools.

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.

@rogerbogh3884 2 месяца назад

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.

@Isxiros100 2 месяца назад

@@rogerbogh3884 I understand very well the history of the building and the conventions in İslam, my grandfather was a Muslim. 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

@rogerbogh3884 2 месяца назад

@@Isxiros100 I agree 100%. However, if our hotel staff acting as guides were correct, most of the figure art (images) were actually destroyed - not plastered over. I don't think the current Turks would do that. I just don't think there is actually much remaining with regards to those historic mosaics. I hope I'm wrong. I think I was likely among the last to see the Sofia as a museum. I was there in 2003 before Erdogan took power.

@Isxiros100 2 месяца назад

@@rogerbogh3884 there are many of the originals that have been preserved under stucco, even though many were often defaced ( eyes and faces scratched out) there are many significant pieces that are there such as the pantokrator. It's not an issue that "most artifacts" have been destroyed from that period. It's more about showing the grace ofall the cultures. Including extant Islamic art and context as well as earlier Byzantine and Roman heritage. Of course the building has changed.....but turning it back into a mosque is a backward step and does the world no favours

@chrisball3778 9 месяцев назад

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 9 месяцев назад

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.

@cattymajiv 9 месяцев назад

@@marvelfannumber1 I'm sure Topkapi is amazing, better than any mosque! I have to go there, and nearly 100 other Turkish places! I didn't know these facts about the Hagia Sophia, but I entirely agree with you reasoning. Right wingers are never capable of telling the truth, on any continent at at any time.

@chrisball3778 9 месяцев назад

@@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.

@marvelfannumber1 9 месяцев назад

@@chrisball3778 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.

Sirkeci is unrecognizable, since I visited the city several times circa 1975. Turkey had not yet become so popular a tourist destination and was off the beaten track. Most people assumed that I was German, and German was the most useful foreign language. The food was excellent, but neither the food nor the usual eateries looked like the trendy western things on view today. What an interesting trip down memory lane, contrasting with a half century previous.

Although I am not a proponent of the ancient aliens theory, I do dispute your comparing Roman engineering to ancient Egytian. The Romans were in the iron age, and the Egyptians were in the bronze age, but going through the copper age just out of the stone age early on. The precision of some Egyptian monuments beggars belief that they could even conceive them, let alone actually build them. There are things outside of Egypt that just don't fit any narrative, like Baalbeck. We have no pre-Noakic records, so we have no idea what civilization was like for the few hundred thousand years prior to the flood. Were they more like the culture of the native peoples of this continent pre-Columbian or were rhey like the Jetsons. I'd say the jury is out, and we may never get a definitive answer.

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!

Mulberries, yes.

When can we expect an episode on the Mines of Moria?

@WorldofAntiquity 9 месяцев назад

As soon as they get rid of the Balrog.

14:30 - Is this the same cistern filmed in the "Angels & Demons" Hollywood motion picture?

@WorldofAntiquity 8 месяцев назад

No, but it was in the sequel, Inferno.

What does 'See-ee' mean? I can't find it in any dictionary. The presenter says it at 5mins. Great channel by the way! Love it.

@bilvetica 7 месяцев назад

Will you help me identify the music played during the Hagia Sofia segment?
