I always wondered why no ships ever attacked the other side. Makes sense now. Thanks
05:20 big budget reenactment XD love it! Will be in Istanbul this month...can't wait! <3
I visited Istanbul a couple of decades ago and made this very walk along the sea wall. Thanks for bringing back some very good memories.
Very interesting and informative. But I would like to point out that in Turkish "Caddesi" is not pronounced Kadessy - it's more Chahdesy for an English speaker. Just in case somebody is asking for directions...
I'm in Istanbul right now, staying very close to this stretch of wall. Like, I'm looking out my window now at Kennedy Cadesi. Anyway, yesterday, after rewatching your video, I walked the length of the area you covered. Thank you! It was very illuminating.
For whatever reason, this appeared on my feed. I have now subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning a lot more about 1000 years of history that was not only poorly taught at school but also seems to be suppressed, possibly by the “Roomse kerk”/ Vatican. Thank you.
Super duper interesting and the music at the start soothed my sick head after a hard day at work.
I wrilly like your lovely fotos ,you cuch the moment and the atmosfear of Constantinople.❤
In the part of Istanbul where I live there’s also a piece of that wall (Yesilkoy). In later times people built house against the wall (inner side), saves building one wall. It also has those bands of 3 layers of red bricks, I walked by it many times, never realizing it is part of that Roman sea wall.
Can't help but think - how beautiful cities could be without cars?
The true legacy of the Byzantine Empire is the majestic blending of our Ancient Greek identity with our splendid Christian tradition. That is in fact, our heritage as modern Greeks. May the peace of the Lord rest within us 🇬🇷☦️
It's sad that there doesn't seem to have been much desire to preserve the walls which must have been a marvel back in the day. Allowing homeless people to inhabit and "decorate" the ancient cistern? Unbelievable.
Thanks Robin. Delightful content as always 😊
