And it's other known name was Lygos, it was founded by Thracian tribes before being captured by Byzantine. Nice to know there are Chinese records of it too.

@@dimitriosvlissides5781 Yes you were there, and definitely have visited the area thousands of times to know that actually happened right? Surely not the way you were thought the history at school. Because no Greek historical education system is ever biased about Turks, and this issue certainly is not acknowledged countless times by even Greek Historians. Have you ever thought why Turkey have more Ancient Greek buildings of thousands of years perfectly sustained up to this date? Much more then Greece of today actually has? Have you ever thought how even Hagia Sophia was burnt 2 times under Byzantine rule and had to be rebuilt, but perfectly preserved under Ottoman/Turkish rule? Not gonna mention thousands of other Churches, Amphitheaters, ancient Cities and so on. You can hate Turks all you want, that doesn't change the fact that Ottomans actually had the most civil teachings and rules even of today. Did you know Christians had their own court, as well as other Religions and not judged by Ottomans (unless the crime was committed between different religions)? Did you know World's oldest schools for other religions were in Ottoman that are still open to this date in Turkey? (Saint Benoît - (1583) // Saint Joseph - (1841) are some of the most well known and sought after high schools even today) Ottomans might have been an expansionist Nation, but were infinitely more civil than 18-20th century expansionist Nations.. (Check what happened to India and Africa and US after so called "modern" Countries have arrived at those Countries) And funny part is, at that time Istanbul's conquest was considered a liberation from the Catholics by Greeks, because Byzantine Emperors following the collapse of the Latin Empire outlawed Orthodoxy entirely, a century more and there would be non left. Only thing that was destroyed after Ottoman's conquest in Istanbul was the Parthenon unfortunately, which was actually destroyed by Venetians who had fired the cannons. How ironic is that right? Byzantine wanting to destroy Orthodoxy entirely, but the Muslim Ottoman saves it and lets people practice religion as they wish, with their "own" courts and schools and even giving high places at the Government to those people. (Richest people were Armenians and Greeks by 17th Century in Ottoman, their crafts and trades were so well protected and respected that 26th generation of their apprentices still teach their practice today, from gem crafting [one of them is my neighbor, even responsible for crafting some of Queen's jewelry!] to other arts) Bet your education system never thought you these though :) Oh well, hate and be biased and stay under the effects of partial history if you want to mate, but it won't change the fact that at this point after thousands of years together we all have the same blood.
@@demran what are you talking about Hagia Sophia was totaly covered all its magnificent mosaics with stucco in order to become a mosque ,hence was not knocked down Yes you preserved Parthenon by selling the edifices to Lord Elgin ,or even the inside of the Parthenon was a gunpowder arsenal that was blown up by the other great destroyers of the Byzantium the Venetians Yes you have to visit the Berlin museum to see Pergamon3 You have to visit Vienna to see The templum and statue of Artemis You have to visit British museum to see Knidos You have to visit Louvre to see the NIKE of Samothraci and thousands of other statues Otherwise you could not sell them all it was impossible as there are too many So few were left in Asia Minor and now you show them around AND ALL THE GUIDES WILL TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS ROMAN OR OTHERWISE ashamed to say that are Greek So what is left there are some ruins that coulnot be transported As the churches concerned most are mosqes or others that could not be turned into mosques are delipedated I have visited CAPPADOCIA and i ve seen them Only in Prokop there was a church been somewhat functional
@@dimitriosvlissides5781 Lol from beginning to end only a few points are partially right, 90% of it is the most ignorant message I've ever read. Lets start shall we; - Hagia Sophia was turned into a mosque as Istanbul was conquered as a symbol, and it's mosaics were open for centuries till late 18th century, which has been fixed in the early 19th century again. Out of 600 years, it has never been covered for 500 years. But if you continue to burn Mosques in Europe we can't tell what will happen to them in the future. You see these stuff are always political and in response to the corresponding parties. - In Ottoman, like many Governments the disappearance of a Ferman (Firman - Decree) is a major crime, Lord Elgin "claimed" to have obtained a firman from the Government, but never had proof of it. It's veracity has always been disputed, at the end he simply stole everything he had, and the Parthenon marbles were not the first things he stole as well if you search his history. - Your ignorance knows no bounds, 90% of entire African cultural property resides in European museums to start with. Those histories that has been stolen from Turkey are a MAJOR sour point as well (and it should be for Greece too, because they stole from you too), coming to Turkey in the name of archeology from Europe (and even from US) and stealing so many important historical artifacts is a well known fact. Are you so naive to believe all those statues found in Viena - Berlin - Louvre etc are there legitly? LMAO you really know nothing. Not to mention those that have been stolen are not even 1/1000th of the Historical Artifacts in Turkey, and they also stole just as much (if not more) from Greece heritages as well. Just google "It's time for museums to return their stolen treasures - CNN" they wrote an article about it just a few months ago btw. - I am not going to educate you between the differences of Ancient Roman and Ancient Greek cultures on a youtube comment section for pages. Your ignorance is extremely heartbreaking. Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece both Countries are Mediterranean, they shared a lot but they had a lot of differences as well. What is Roman is told to be Roman, and what is Greek is told to be Greek. Hell even I have Greek blood why would anyone be ashamed of telling it? You are the only one with a back pain about having Turkic Dna in you, I gladly accept the facts lol. You really sound pathetic dude. - Yes around 28 Churches turned into Mosques in Turkey based on necessity and some for political reasons, considering that much Mosques turned into Churches just in Spain, not to mention how many have been turned or destroyed (or got burned!) in Portugal, Greece and other Countries, what is your point? There still stands the facts and maths; There are 180.854 Christians and over 20k Jews in Turkey as of 2018 with 435 Churches / Synagogues and Temples for them. That averages to 1 sanctuary for every 461 people. While in Europe and US it averages down to 1 mosque per 2500+ muslims. Honestly since I am not a believer I really dont mind these, but that doesn't change the fact that you are either a hypocrite, or are ignorant or brain washed by media and biased history. Try researching for at least 10 seconds before writing next time ;)

I understand what you are trying to say here, but unlike the Greeks that constructed the city, the Mongols did not build any great capital/city like Constantinople.
@@thanosrosis892 That is true.

Let's be honest no matter what we are either Greeks or Turks Orthodox Christian or Sunni Muslims let's all agree that constantinople was a very magnificent city the least we can agree on
I live in Istanbul and I'm proud of my history. Best city ever. Modern and old . Traveled the world also

Thank you very much for listening to my request. Beautiful video. You managed to reconstruct all the stages of this beautiful city.
Thank you! I appreciate that very much!
Awesome work, but personally the style of your (one shot transition instead of cuts like) Paris video would have been perfect for this.
Hi, I’m a Turkish Tatar from Istanbul whose family immigrated from Crimea when Russian Empire conquered our town. This is an amazing piece of your artwork thank you so much. There’s so much more to İstanbul than the fights over its name by Islamists and Modern Crusaders. The city isnt“theirs” or not, this masterpiece of civilization belongs to every one of us in Europe and Asia. We built it together. Hugs from Turkey 🤗
I completely agree with u! Is it a treasure for humanity as a whole.
Well this is a nice comment much better than the nationalistic fanatical comments that exist out there. It is truly a marvel of humanity and should be respected for its rich history which should not he sacreledge in the name of fanatism or political interests.

Actually before Byzantium it was named "Lygos", found by Thracian Tribes, captured by Byzantine a few centuries later, then this time chart begins.
Also about the 3 days of looting in the City; Mehmed II ordered that the troops can pillage anything they find on "streets" but if they bothered anyone's house that their hands will be cut.
But his troops did not obeyed him at all they looted everything from the people
@@dimitriosvlissides5781 Yes you were there, and definitely have visited the area thousands of times to know that actually happened right? Surely not the way you were thought the history at school. Because no Greek historical education system is ever biased about Turks, and this issue certainly is not acknowledged countless times by even Greek Historians.
Have you ever thought why Turkey have more Ancient Greek buildings of thousands of years perfectly sustained up to this date? Much more then Greece of today actually has? Have you ever thought how even Hagia Sophia was burnt 2 times under Byzantine rule and had to be rebuilt, but perfectly preserved under Ottoman/Turkish rule? Not gonna mention thousands of other Churches, Amphitheaters, ancient Cities and so on.
You can hate Turks all you want, that doesn't change the fact that Ottomans actually had the most civil teachings and rules even of today.
Did you know Christians had their own court, as well as other Religions and not judged by Ottomans (unless the crime was committed between different religions)?
Did you know World's oldest schools for other religions were in Ottoman that are still open to this date in Turkey? (Saint Benoît - (1583) // Saint Joseph - (1841) are some of the most well known and sought after high schools even today)
Ottomans might have been an expansionist Nation, but were infinitely more civil than 18-20th century expansionist Nations.. (Check what happened to India and Africa and US after so called "modern" Countries have arrived at those Countries)
And funny part is, at that time Istanbul's conquest was considered a liberation from the Catholics by Greeks, because Byzantine Emperors following the collapse of the Latin Empire outlawed Orthodoxy entirely, a century more and there would be non left.
Only thing that was destroyed after Ottoman's conquest in Istanbul was the Parthenon unfortunately, which was actually destroyed by Venetians who had fired the cannons.
How ironic is that right? Byzantine wanting to destroy Orthodoxy entirely, but the Muslim Ottoman saves it and lets people practice religion as they wish, with their "own" courts and schools and even giving high places at the Government to those people. (Richest people were Armenians and Greeks by 17th Century in Ottoman, their crafts and trades were so well protected and respected that 26th generation of their apprentices still teach their practice today, from gem crafting [one of them is my neighbor, even responsible for crafting some of Queen's jewelry!] to other arts)
Bet your education system never thought you these though :) Oh well, hate and be biased and stay under the effects of partial history if you want to mate, but it won't change the fact that at this point after thousands of years together we all have the same blood.
@@demran what are you talking about
Hagia Sophia was totaly covered all its magnificent mosaics with stucco in order to become a mosque ,hence was not knocked down
Yes you preserved Parthenon by selling the edifices to Lord Elgin ,or even the inside of the Parthenon was a gunpowder arsenal that was blown up by the other great destroyers of the Byzantium the Venetians
Yes you have to visit the Berlin museum to see Pergamon3
You have to visit Vienna to see The templum and statue of Artemis
You have to visit British museum to see Knidos
You have to visit Louvre to see the NIKE of Samothraci
and thousands of other statues
Otherwise you could not sell them all it was impossible as there are too many
So few were left in Asia Minor and now you show them around AND ALL THE GUIDES WILL TELL YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS ROMAN OR OTHERWISE
ashamed to say that are Greek
So what is left there are some ruins that coulnot be transported
As the churches concerned most are mosqes or others that could not be turned into mosques are delipedated
I have visited CAPPADOCIA and i ve seen them
Only in Prokop there was a church been somewhat functional
@@dimitriosvlissides5781 Lol from beginning to end only a few points are partially right, 90% of it is the most ignorant message I've ever read.
Lets start shall we;
- Hagia Sophia was turned into a mosque as Istanbul was conquered as a symbol, and it's mosaics were open for centuries till late 18th century, which has been fixed in the early 19th century again. Out of 600 years, it has never been covered for 500 years. But if you continue to burn Mosques in Europe we can't tell what will happen to them in the future. You see these stuff are always political and in response to the corresponding parties.
- In Ottoman, like many Governments the disappearance of a Ferman (Firman - Decree) is a major crime, Lord Elgin "claimed" to have obtained a firman from the Government, but never had proof of it. It's veracity has always been disputed, at the end he simply stole everything he had, and the Parthenon marbles were not the first things he stole as well if you search his history.
- Your ignorance knows no bounds, 90% of entire African cultural property resides in European museums to start with.
Those histories that has been stolen from Turkey are a MAJOR sour point as well (and it should be for Greece too, because they stole from you too), coming to Turkey in the name of archeology from Europe (and even from US) and stealing so many important historical artifacts is a well known fact.
Are you so naive to believe all those statues found in Viena - Berlin - Louvre etc are there legitly? LMAO you really know nothing. Not to mention those that have been stolen are not even 1/1000th of the Historical Artifacts in Turkey, and they also stole just as much (if not more) from Greece heritages as well.
Just google "It's time for museums to return their stolen treasures - CNN" they wrote an article about it just a few months ago btw.
- I am not going to educate you between the differences of Ancient Roman and Ancient Greek cultures on a youtube comment section for pages. Your ignorance is extremely heartbreaking.
Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece both Countries are Mediterranean, they shared a lot but they had a lot of differences as well. What is Roman is told to be Roman, and what is Greek is told to be Greek. Hell even I have Greek blood why would anyone be ashamed of telling it? You are the only one with a back pain about having Turkic Dna in you, I gladly accept the facts lol. You really sound pathetic dude.
- Yes around 28 Churches turned into Mosques in Turkey based on necessity and some for political reasons, considering that much Mosques turned into Churches just in Spain, not to mention how many have been turned or destroyed (or got burned!) in Portugal, Greece and other Countries, what is your point?
There still stands the facts and maths;
There are 180.854 Christians and over 20k Jews in Turkey as of 2018 with 435 Churches / Synagogues and Temples for them. That averages to 1 sanctuary for every 461 people.
While in Europe and US it averages down to 1 mosque per 2500+ muslims.
Honestly since I am not a believer I really dont mind these, but that doesn't change the fact that you are either a hypocrite, or are ignorant or brain washed by media and biased history. Try researching for at least 10 seconds before writing next time ;)
@@demran because i have searched all these ,i have just ,only mentioned few of those
How whole templums that i mentioned to you in various museums all over the world have gone there ? Whithout any knowledge of the ottoman administration?
AS THOSE THAT have disapeared from greece you forget to mention that at that period was under ottoman rule
Was part of the ottoman rule to extinguish from asia minor and other areas under their rule any preexisting greek or roman culture
So you refer to Hittites...........
...................
Do not compare what is going on in europe ,spain etc .....and stick to the point of the arguement
But i also understand what you realy are
From your coment on The supposed city of Lygos ,just because there they found few stones
And you seem not to aknowledge the history of Byzantium by the kisg VYZAS of megara
This is exactly what your doing ,trying to not refer to the historical origins and evading them ,because there are greek or roman Now you have found the Thacians
Your frightened to admit ,not personaly you,but the turkish establishement .So youre revising proper histry on the grounds of "new"evidence that suits you Youare still afraid to admit the tuth
One more thing ,i have not called you ,ignorant ,pathetic etc that could have been easily done on the basis of your arguments
This channel is so amazing ! The quality is so good !

@@lryiss9407 well yes, but no. Founded as constantinople then under ottoman rule it changed to konstantiniyye -stayed pretty much the same- but when the empire collapsed and republic founded it become Istanbul so I am not gonna argue people may call whenever they want to it only shows how multicultural and rich history this city has which is a wonderful thing.
Most people already know the history, hes just refusing to call it by the corrupted greco version of the name that the turks gave it. The city was stolen from the greeks and the turks should be ashamed, the capital that gives them their identity isnt originally theirs, it was stolen, a fake identity
@@FimbongBass I dont get what you want to say Istanbul is not the capital in the first place also the constantinople is only tiny portion of modern istanbul (fatih municipalty if you want to check, named after the mehmet II) and why would turks ashamed of that, we came anatolia 1000 years ago and conquered istanbul at 1453 -as you propably know if you are that good at history- the city developed within turkish culture since than

There's a lot of nationalists in here, but no matter what people think the ottomans righfully took the city, saying greece should own Istanbul is like saying the mongols should own any major chinese city because they were in control of it once.
I understand what you are trying to say here, but unlike the Greeks that constructed the city, the Mongols did not build any great capital/city like Constantinople.
@@thanosrosis892 That is true. However if the mongols had built large scale city's in china for example, and we're defeated, the chinese settled and expanded the city. then the mongols felt entitled to that land hundreds of years later, I think it would become obvious how ridiculous the situation is.

@@meltem65 Byzantine empire was a Christian empire,nothing to do with old school or modern Turks.Maybe Turks want to present themselves as descendants of Omerus or Byzantine s but thats.. another comedy
@@parasporian The Turks do not want to present themselves as descendants of Byzantium, because they are ultra-nationalists. However, it is a scientific fact that Turks and Greeks are two peoples who are the continuation of Byzantine and Ottoman. Look at the outward appearance of the Turks, do they resemble their ancestors in Central Asia? They remained in Anatolia and assimilated with the indigenous peoples of Anatolia. Today, the Central Asian gene is only 7% in Turkey. The genetic similarity rate of Turks and Greeks is around 75%. the rest are assimilated with Armenians and Persians
