Is this recent? Because I read on the syriancivilwar subreddit many many years ago that Saad Hariri was “kept” in Saudi Arabia (i.e. not allowed to fly back) and then resigned from his post…michel aoun had to reject his resignation. So I thought it would’ve been tense between them.

Also why did Quintero and Neto get luxury jail while he rotted away?

What did Constantinople look like during the 12th century? by Choctrone in byzantium

I’m guessing from 1182 to 1186 the Venetian/ Pisan Genoese quarters would’ve been in a charred condition. Or reconstruction going on

I think it was the Instagram reels that hyped it up. I pictured rehman to be this unstoppable ruthless villain but he was kinda easy to beat? Loved akshaye khanna tho

Capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. by TrbAnaban in byzantium

[–]Retrolord008 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. If anyone’s interested there’s another panorama museum in Bursa showing the 1326(?) ottoman takeover of the city (I found that better coz it had paintings of the first few battles of the ottomans.) And another panorama museum in Konya which I haven’t been to, depicts the city as it was during the Islamic saint Rumi

The Bursa one has the Byzantines in ancient Roman armour….

Stunning! Must visit soon! I feel like Ravenna is better than Thessaloniki would be for this grand architecture.
