I sist innlegg – se her<\/a> – skrev jeg litt om den tyrkiske beskrivelsen av Konstantinopel f\u00f8r den falt den ottomanske h\u00e6ren – at det stod sv\u00e6rt d\u00e5rlig til med byen. Bildet over viser enden av den flotte hippodromen (de fire hestene er n\u00e5 i Venezia) med hagia Sofia i bakgrunnen. Bildet har jeg funnet p\u00e5 nettstedet http:\/\/www.byzantium1200.com<\/a> (takk til Bj\u00f8rn Are for tips), men ogs\u00e5 forfatterne av disse informasjonssidene sier f\u00f8lgende: «Please note that after 618 when grain supply from Egypt was cut forever, Byzantine economy never recovered except for a few periods in 8th-9th century. Due to revolts, iconoclasm, great fires, very strong earthquakes, lack of funds to maintain the monuments, reuse of materials, plagues, centuries of time and the most devastating of all: the 4th crusade, Byzantium never looked as good as in many of these reconstructions. Even in 1200 most of the Great Palace was in ruins and was not used anymore. When turks arrived in 1453 the city was a large village with ruins scattered around and in a very sorry state. Reconstructions on this website will try to show the monuments as they were built or modified until 1200 and as if they were maintained properly (which was never the case).»<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I sist innlegg – se her – skrev jeg litt om den tyrkiske beskrivelsen av Konstantinopel f\u00f8r den falt den ottomanske h\u00e6ren – at det stod sv\u00e6rt d\u00e5rlig til med byen.
