Virtual Hagia Sophia

[Daniel]

But neither of those statements are false, though. Both buildings have been mosques since the 1500's, and were orginally churches built in the 500's. Granted, it does gloss over what the buildings were orginially built for, but still, I didn't see any thing in the article that was blatanly false.

*Edit-spelling/grammer

Exactly, "blatantly" is the key word. Perhaps you've viewed the recent PBS broadcast specials on "Turkish culture"? Everything shown was either of ancient Hellenic or Orthodox Christian origin. And yet not a mention was made of that fact. That is 'historical revisionism'. The Turks still deny their genocide and pogroms against the Armenians and the Pontic Greeks. And, apparently it's not politically correct to maintain history accurately, but only to the extent of what is politely acceptable. "Glossing over" the full facts does not make the article factually true, only suggestively valid.

No, I didn't see the program. But I do think I see your point now, thanks.

I don't know anything about what might be wrong with that site, although I couldn't believe the picture I saw of the Hagia Sophia.... sigh
I thought I saw a picture before with the icons in Hagia Sophia but I was wrong, I just saw parts of a few icons in the picture.

P.S. sorry for the error that I had made

That isn't the only thing the Turks have done. Forgetting Cyprus? Serbia? Antioch? How many things these Mongols haven't done?

Forget????

NEVER

I know that's a rather unChristian response, but telling a falsehood isn't good either.
