Hagia Sophia
Today was fun and interesting. We learned about Germanic kingdoms and the barbarians. We also learned about the Hagia Sophia. Barbarians assimilated into the Roman culture and they conquered. Angels and the Saxons invaded Britain and most of them converted into Christianity. Most powerful was the Franks. In the Eastern Empire was divided by the barbarian tribes. Justinian in 527 reunited the empire and conquered the western territories. Plague also affected the population. Byzantines preserved all the art and architecture of the greco-Roman art. Justinian made the Hagia Sophia (church to mosque to museum) in Constantinople the most glorious building and the biggest for 1000 years. the curves supported the high arches with the geometry stuff. Mert taught all of us about Turkey and it was interesting and funny. the ice cream trick was the funniest.
