@@user-tg3tj2nq6v that is not true. i have researched into it for many years. the palace intrigue of Constantinople allowed regicide. the murder of a monarch. in the Catholic West, a consecrated Catholic King cannot be murdered. in Constantinople this lead to aspiring monarchs to call external powers to come in and murder the current monarch. this is what happened when the 3rd set of crusaders were called to Constantinople. very sad. but that is what happened. i am from Asia. So i am not a Western / Eastern white christian. based on historical records this is what happened. if regicide was not allowed in Constantinople, they would have stood strong.

[@FLORATOSOTHON]

This Hymn, called Standing Hymn, was based on the prelude of a previous Orthodox Christian Hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In the year 626 AD, while Byzantine Emperor Heraclius (not Justinian) was leading a campaign of the Byzantine army against the Persians, Constantinople was suddenly besieged by the Avars, who were people of the steppes. Aware of the absence of the army, the Avars rejected any proposal for a truce and on August 6 captured the Byzantine church Lady of Vlacherna, dedicated to Virgin Mary. On the night of August 7-8, the Avars were preparing for the final attack against Constantinople, including from the sea, from the side of the Golden Horn where the city’s defenses were weakest. The entrance to the Golden Horn was protected from enemy ships with a huge chain that was lowered to allow friendly ships to go through, so an attack from the sea was not considered probable and the city’s walls were not as strong on this side. The Avars used a very large fleet of canoes to pass under the Golden Horn chain, in order to attack Constantinople from its weakest side. Byzantine Patriarch Sergius was going around the walls of the city, holding the icon of Virgin Mary of Vlacherna and encouraged the few defenders to resist. In the evening, the people of Constantinople gathered in the church of Agia Sophia and prayed to Virgin Mary for the salvation of the city. That night, a terrible tornado destroyed the Avar’s canoe fleet, while a counterattack by the defenders caused huge losses to them. The storm was attributed to divine intervention by both the Byzantines and the Avars, who were forced to break the siege and withdraw back to their lands. On August 8, Constantinople was saved from the greatest threat in its history. The people, wanting to celebrate their salvation, which they attributed to the intervention of the Virgin Mary, gathered at the Church of Lady of Vlacherna. Then, according to tradition, the crowd standing sang in gratitude this Hymn, (a variation of the original) that became known "Akathistos Hymnos" (Standing Hymn) to the Virgin Mary, attributing the victory nd the salvation of Constantinople to her, calling her "the champion general". To this day, Virgin Mary is considered to be the patron of the Hellenic Armed Forces.

[@gaelstrarai]

Thanks for sharing that. TY randomly recommended this, and it was cool to read some background.

[@codingstyle9480]

That is why they trusted the same stupid symbols to save the city from the Ottoman siege but that time no tornado or anything like that happened. Believing in nonsense to save a beautiful city from the attackers will never help. No religion, no superstition but only will of the people combined with scientific methods and well-organized defense (plus equipment) could save it.

[@TheTimeDetective42]

If the crowd knows the hymn it's clearly older. Thanks for a nice history lesson!

[@FLORATOSOTHON]

@@TheTimeDetective42 The mainstream view is that it was the adaptation of an older hymn by Romanus the melody creator, a famous hymn writer of the period and that it was written that night. Some say that it must have been an older hymn, since it would be difficult to write the hymn within hours. IIMAO, converting the words of an existing hymn to fit the situation should not have been a problem for an experienced hymn writer and this has been done many times in recent times, especially with Greek WW2 songs, that converted, within hours top song hits of the time, to fit the occasion by making fun of the Italians and Mussolini, based on the original music. As for the crowd, they didn't have to know the hymn before hand, all they had to do is repeat what the priests were singing, after all it is a very short hymn by Orthodox standards.

Roma! Greek is just a language and a culture not a nationality. Those who speak Greek are the remnants of the Roman Empire because the Romans were Aegean Greek speakers. They came from Troy and returned to their origins around 350AD. The Latins are also Greek speakers from 1600BC, but their Lacedaemonian Greek was fixed by the alphabet brought to Italy by the Colonist Latinos (youngest son of Odysseus of Ithaca) in around 1200BC.

It is the original language of the Holy Bible cause the majority of people in the ancient Western world chose to speak it cause of its brilliance. So, in order to spread the word of God, they chose the most common spoken language of the era. Sadly, lots of religious institutions in our days forget the purpose of the religious scripts. And they insist to preach it in ancient long forgotten languages, which not a lot of people can speak or understand anymore. So the word of God. Is not truly spread to the world anymore.

Firstly, Justinian I, the emperor shown in the video, was the Eastern Roman emperor from 527 to 565 but the Akathist Hymn (called in the title "national anthem") was created on 626 AD. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akathist#History Secondly, The Byzantine Empire (called itself Roman Empire) did not have a national anthem in the modern sense of the term, same as all the old empires. National anthems are invented the last 200-300 years. The Akathist Hymn is a religious hymn, used in various occasions to thank and honour Mother of Jesus of saving the empire from its enemies.

[@CamiloOsSan]

Since the empire was Greek Orthodox Christian this chant was used every single day in Churches and public events, a chant everyone in the empire knew. So Catholic and Orthodox chants are the inspiration of modern national anthems cause unify the entire nation.

@@antoniofarinaccio541 What are you some kind of Solipsist? What proof do you have that it is all an illusion? That's ridiculous! Plenty of things exist without me making them, without us making them. We certainly have common experiences even if we may perceive them in a slightly different way. There is objective reality independent of our perceptions. Scientific evidence, empirical observations, and the consensus of multiple observers confirm the existence of an external reality that exists regardless of individuals' interpretations. You are ignoring the vast body of empirical evidence supporting the existence of the physical world. Scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and the predictability of natural phenomena all attest to the reality of the external world. That cannot all be an illusion, because we can prove it isn't. With regard to taking action In the realm of action and decision-making, relying solely on subjective interpretations of reality without acknowledging objective facts can lead to impractical or harmful outcomes. As for taking action: Those who take action and make decisions, relying on their subjective interpretations of reality without considering objective facts can lead to massive f*ck-ups! Your argument is self-defeating, because it denies the existence of any other minds or external realities, rendering communication, cooperation, and shared experiences meaningless, but that is not the case. Your assertion that reality is an illusion and that people can create their own "truths" undermines ethical principles, like the principle of moral accountability. Without objective reality there can be no society and without society the individual human is doomed. So who is the cynic? Seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black to me. It is equally important not to go of the deep end in the other direction. This idea that we can just all believe in a sky god and sing kumbaya without any empirical evidence of that sky-god's existence is equally ridiculous. There is no good evidence for god and only good evidence against him, considering that all the claims of Genesis about life, the earth and the universe have been shown to be incorrect and fallacious at best.

Unfortunately, not every Empire and glory lasts forever. The same can be seen in post-medieval Europe with the decline of the Renaissance(What was reborn? Huh.. paganism) , which made Western Christians more tepid, tolerant of evil, weak, seeking their own redemption on Earth (excellent pagan life), absolutism, decadence of the nobility and royal courts (it was at this time that the figure of Fat Kings, Gluttons, Adulterers, etc. emerged).

Byzantines were proud. Byzantines were rich. Their walls stood proud upon the Bosphorus. But there's no wall high enough to stop hunger (the wave of Mehmet the Great), nor to impede treason (sack of 1421 by the Crusade). They stood. They fell. They're a reminder that no matter how rich, no matter how powerful, the days of a civilization are always numbered. Remember the last cry of the last Emperor of Bizancio, as he ran with his horse against the enemy... and fell, to nevermore gaze upon his magnificent city.

[@ownpetard8379]

Mehmet the Great was on the verge of being strangled to death by his men when a breach - likely a treason ; an open portal was found - was made in the defenses. Never heard of a sack of 1421. The Sack of Constantinople was 1204 by the Crusaders. The victory of Mehmet was over a hollow of a city. Mehmet allowed the Jews of Spain to settle in the city to help fill it up and restart commerce. Gunpowder would have eventually ruined the defenses of Constantinople. And the Hungarian's cannon did a great deal of damage. But Mehmet's victory was not overwhelming at all, especially considering that his forces were tens of thousands, and the defenders were perhaps 10,000 total.
