For it is quite hard to read at this scale, here is the description again:
"According to the Byzantines, COnstantinople was the religious capital of the world, and Orthodox Christianity was the only true faith. For such religiously minded people, it's essential to have proper places of worship, and Byzantine churches are to be considered the most beautiful in the world. As with all Byzantine buildings, influences from both the old Roman Empire and the Middle East are visible in their churches, or Basilicas, as they preferred to call them"
It's the Roman Empire my good man,they never changed their name.The Byzantine term was used after the fall of the empire by some German historians.
So you think we cannot call 'em Byzantines because they don't call themselves like this?
Oh. Why they call us Byzantines?
as far as i know b4 the ottomans invaded the byzantine empire there were byzantines
Forgot to say that i like the fact you named the town with its name, Constaninople.
Isn't Istanbul a Turkish 'translation' of Constantinople anyway? I mean like the Egyptians call Alexandria Al-Iskanderiah?
No, Istanbul means "to the city"
"εις την Πόλη " (is tin Poli) which means -to the city (going to the City or towards the City)
Whereas Constantinople means the "city of Constantine"
its like original russian Church
Plus the church you made is inspired by Russian Orthodox architecture, not Byzantine. Get yo' facts straight, dawg :P Look at St. Sofia (Hagia Sofia) and see what Byzantine architecture means.
True but...as the Russians imported their style (Ivans II and III were really into the byzantine culture, identity and architecture) in part if not in full from the byzantines... so while your not entirely wrong you are somewhat pig-headed.
