Hagia Sophia was the largest Christian Church of the Roman Empire, but later was converted into a mosque. The video we watched on Native Americans showcased all of their different abilities and unique culture. They believed everyone and everything was connected as one. Lovers of nature, they called the land "mother." They embarked on a religious journey by God to "find the center place." Native Americans culture involved dancing that included outfits with feathered hats and a drum set as they marched and chanted their beliefs.
The Byzantine's had a very big impact on modern-day architecture with their inventions. They invented the pendentive dome which is construction that allows a circular dome to be built upon a rectangular floor plan. The first fully developed pendentive dome dates to the reconstruction of the Hagia Sophia in 563.The Hagia Sophia became the paradigmatic Orthodox Church and its architectural style was emulated by Turkish mosques a thousand years later.
