Hagia Sophia: Architecture That Defied Time | Full Documentary

At the crossroads of Europe and Asia stands one of the greatest architectural achievements of the ancient world: the Hagia Sophia. Built in 537 AD during the reign of Emperor Justinian, it has served as a cathedral, mosque, museum, and again a mosque, reflecting centuries of cultural and political change. This documentary explores how the Hagia Sophia’s massive dome was constructed with limited technology, and how it has survived major earthquakes for over 1,500 years. Using satellite scans, drone imaging, and advanced materials analysis, researchers uncover the design secrets behind this iconic monument and the ingenuity that keeps it standing to this day. #hagiasophia #mosque #architecture #documentary Europe’s Brilliance: Art, Music, and Science Through the Ages    • Europe’s Brilliance: Art, Music, and Scien...   _______ On Get.history, a free documentary streaming channel, you can explore historical mysteries, scientific breakthroughs, biographical content and untold stories from around the world.
