The Crusaders did more much to the city then the Ottomans ever did. The Crusaders stripped the city clean of everything it had, when it was one of the wealthiest and grandest cities in the world; the Ottomans got the pillage a husk. There may still have been a handful of gold nuggets within it, but a husk nonetheless, so devoid of life that there were small farms within the Theodosian Walls.

And I said "not even the Ottomans" in the sense that they were an extremely wealthy entity, they were well off even in 1453, so they could have done something, but didn't. Mehmet tried to repopulate the city after taking it but it was a long time before Constantinople was an actual metropolis again. Which is I meant by former glory, being a metropolis, a rich and important city. Your notion that anyone could have rebuilt and restored Constantinople in what it used to be at its peak is bullshit, Building houses and public buildings in the style of the Byzantines is one thing, but replacing all of the artwork, the statuary, the ancient adornments collected from all over the Roman Empire by Constantine to decorate the city, you can't replace that.

Considering that visitors were still drawing its monuments in the 15th century, that's hard to believe.
I'm by no means saying that the 4th crusade wasn't barbaric or rapacious, only that we cannot know the plunder taken or damage done by the Turks, because the crusader regime fell rather quickly and so could be hated in writing, while the Turkish one went on and on and on.
I can't believe they took everything, when the city was still producing thoroughly educated people like Plethon and great artists only years before the Turks took it.

>so devoid of life that there were small farms within the Theodosian Walls.

There were small farms inside the walls in the 9th century.

>they were an extremely wealthy entity, they were well off even in 1453, so they could have done something,

And I contradicted it because they didn't do things like this generally. They were better at breaking things than fixing them, still are.

> Mehmet tried to repopulate the city after taking it but it was a long time before Constantinople was an actual metropolis again. Which is I meant by former glory, being a metropolis, a rich and important city.

He repopulated it with bumpkins who lacked the knowledge and culture to rebuild it. Even the Greeks he brought in were bumpkins.
That said, Constantinople wasn't 'a' metropolis at its height, it was 'the' metropolis. Was the cosmopolis, 'the City' with a capital C.

Restore was an ill-chosen word, but it could have been built up as something else, it could have been Istanbul or Turcopolis or something, rather than the city formerly known as Constantinople.
They conquered it but couldn't do anything with it, hence why I regard the Turks as degenerate. They can end things but have serious problems starting them.

Ironic considering you name drop Plethon who studied in Ottoman Adrianople. And it's not as if Constantine did anything different from Mehmet when building up the city into a Roman capital. The Turks also made clear attempts to build up the city into an imperial capital worth the name inviting more than just farmers. Even Da Vinci was once offered a job to build things for the Ottomans.

Honestly speaking then you should consider the other anon's point. You seem to be speaking from that place of bias more than fact when you talk about Ottoman Constantinople. I think he's more right than wrong here, and if just anyone could turn that location into a megapolis then we'd have seen it happen outside of Constantine and Mehmet. The thing about Constantinople is that it's only 'geographically blessed' in the context of an imperial city. Without an empire to support it: regular grain shipments to feed its overpopulation, military support to defend it from much more geographically secure neighbors, or the diplomatic clout to make redirection of trade traffic to its ports economically viable, the city would never amount to anything more than the minor settlement it had been before Constantine showed up, or after the Fourth Crusade under the Latin/Greek successors. Hell, if not for centuries of Ottoman and international financial capital pouring in, modern Istanbul might have been no better than a sleepy tourist town by now.

That said, the man did not teach in the city after the Ottomans took it, preferring to go to Italy.
The people who taught at Adrianople were Greeks, so I don't know how this is anything new on the Turks' part.
Note that the city did not have the same stature as a centre of learning for any great length of time.

>it's not as if Constantine did anything different from Mehmet when building up the city into a Roman capital.

Unless he simply stole entire buildings wholesale, then I would say that yes, he did something differently, besides the highly important fact that he did it well, well enough to make it more of a 'Rome' in its way than Rome had been for centuries.

They made attempts, but how successful were those attempts? They built an empire larger than the Eastern Roman one had ever been in its own right, and as wealthy, yet they failed to built anything matching what Justinian had constructed, and destroyed things which they so dramatically failed to match that little can distract you from their loss.

Where did the imperial palace go, for example? Why didn't the Turks rebuild the Hippodrome? They were still an equestrian people and it would have been a great symbol. All they did that is of any note is vandalise the Serpent Column because 'muh profound iconoclasm look how pious I am guis.'

Plethon never taught in Constantinople at all though, and the reason he learned in Adrianople was because it was the Ottoman capital at that time. If Constantinople was as great as you say it was then, why would a brilliant Greek mind go and study the Greeks in the Ottoman Greek capital and not the Byzantine Greek Constantinople? It's because the Ottomans successfully made the attempt to build and maintain centers of learning. It's quite telling that the city did not have a great stature as a center of learning except for when it was the Ottoman capital, and it did not last because the Ottomans moved their capital to Constantinople shortly afterwards.

Also, you're seriously discounting Ottoman construction efforts. There are several grand mosques, markets, bathhouses, and palaces in and around the city. By focusing entirely on reconstruction you miss and thus underrate completely new efforts. It's the equivalent of looking at Rome's Colosseum with St. Peter's Square behind you asking why Renaissance Italy so dramatically failed to match their forebears.

>>3197518

>you should consider the other anon's point.

That's what I'm doing.

>You seem to be speaking from [...] bias

So is everyone, mate. I expect that you'd take his opinion more seriously, because I've acknowledged I made a mistake on Pletho's education and because I am being derogatory towards the Turks.

Mehmet did not turn the city back into the City, even by the standard of the time, nor did any of his successors. The attempts to restore failed, as the city became decrepit by the 19th century.

That said, I'll still ask you to consider my argument in light of a few facts.

>Constantinople is that it's only 'geographically blessed' in the context of an imperial city. Without an empire to support it: regular grain shipments to feed its overpopulation, military support to defend it from much more geographically secure neighbors,
> or the diplomatic clout to make redirection of trade traffic to its ports economically viable, the city would never amount to anything more than the minor settlement it had been before Constantine showed up, or after the Fourth Crusade under the Latin/Greek successors.

The Ottomans had an empire, though. It was a huge one, and larger than the Byzantine empire had been for centuries before the 4th crusade. If the city was so vulnerable then how did it last through the 7th and 8th centuries, often besieged?
As for the city's vulnerability, I strongly disagree. When Thomas the Slav besieged Constantinople in 821-2, he had the entire empire on his side, more or less, the only exceptions being the newly resettled provinces in Greece, Thrace and Macedonia.
He had a colossal fleet and an army of 80,000, with artillery and all the rest, and he still failed because the defences were too strong.
Constantinople didn't need military support during the 8th-10th centuries when its problems were most pressing and immediate, because it was the permanent base of I think two of the standing armies of the tagmata, the Numbers and the Walls.

>>3197556
>Why didn't the Turks rebuild the Hippodrome? They were still an equestrian people and it would have been a great symbol.

Maybe in the 11th century. The Turks who took Constantinople were several centuries removed from their steppe ancestors, had spent an entire generation in the Balkans, were intermarried with local Greek, Bulgarian, and Serbian aristocracy (who they counted among their ranks) fielded legions of disciplined infantry as the backbone of their imperial army, and whose sultan grew up on the Classics as much as the Quran, and fashioned himself a Roman emperor of old. Mehmet's construction works were single-mindedly obsessed with building a centralized administrative state overseeing a massive trade network and legitimized by an imperial faith.

So in what sense did they successfully maintain it as a centre of learning, if the centre vanished when the court moved to the new capital?

>you're seriously discounting Ottoman construction efforts

No, I'm not. I'm considering them and judging them to be inferior to what preceded them, something you may be able to tell from the fact that half of them are modeled on the same fucking building, which was build in the 6th century and so happens to be the one that appears on all the tourist crap.

The problem is that the Colosseum and the Vatican really are 'comparable' in gravity if nothing else. David exceeds anything you could find at Aphrodisias.
I am not underrating the new efforts, I am rating them exactly as they ought to be rated.
It is not impartial or even handed to artificially magnify the stature of the Ottomans' constructions beyond how I actually see them.

>>3197643
>Mehmet did not turn the city back into the City, even by the standard of the time, nor did any of his successors. The attempts to restore failed, as the city became decrepit by the 19th century.

Maybe you're expecting too much then, because when Constantinople was the City during Late Antiquity the Classical world was in severe decline and plagues and migrations had devastated all of Western Eurasia. It was literally king of the ashes.

But when the Ottomans made the city their capital, it was during the most rapid period of global growth and expansion by nearly all civilizations that for all intents and purposes has yet to stop. Ottoman Constantinople still dwarfed many major cities of its time, but unlike 5th century Constantinople which might be matched only by the likes of Alexandria or Ctesiphon, Renaissance Constantinople lived alongside several major capital cities each with their own cultural golden ages. You said it yourself, the Ottomans gained an empire larger than the Byzantines, and their city was massive and developed enough to reflect that, but Byzantine Constantinople never had flourishing rivals like Moscow, Florence and Venice, London and Paris, Cairo and Isfahan, Samarkand or Delhi, and that's just ignoring Tenochtitlan or Ming Nanjiang or Beijin.

What did Late Antiquity Constantinople have to rival in Europe? Until Cordoba, nothing even came close because of depopulation and decline. In the New World you had Mayan Chichen Itza and Tikal, but those are rarely understood as cities because of how they'd already collapsed by the time the Spanish arrived. And in China you had the great upheavals of the Jin Dynasty. So it solidified its reputation with almost no rivals worth the name.

>>3197659

>fielded legions of disciplined infantry as the backbone of their imperial army

I get that you are trying to exaggerate the Roman similarities, but the sipahis were the more important or at least prestigious section of the army during this period.

Mehmet 'fashioned himself' what he liked, he was not a Roman emperor, he killed the last one though.
He was not a Roman emperor, he was a ghazi sultan who adopted the same trappings as so many other sovereigns have. He even did the Trojan thing.

All that said, they were still an equestrian people. So were the Romans. People talk a lot about the legions, and its true they were the more important section of the army when Rome was most 'active' in its conquests, but the cavalry was more respected, and became progressively more important.

>>3197691
You're simply downplaying anything and everything the Ottomans did to develop the city at this point, as if it was no achievement at all to build things like the Blue Mosque or the Topkapi Palace because they're (purposefully) derivative.

Parity is not decline, especially when we have actual periods of decline to compare it to. No one here is saying the Ottomans built a better city than Constantine, but it is no way overrating them to say they redeveloped the city closer to its former glory than anyone since. And like >>3197696 says, to underrate that is to base your opinion on unrealistic expectations of a different time period and on things like novelty that have very little to do with the topic beyond aesthetics. This is not unreasonable nor artificial magnification.

Derivation is perfectly acceptable, provided there is an element of refinement - what was refined here, in your opinion?

>Parity is not decline, especially when we have actual periods of decline to compare it to.
>No one here is saying the Ottomans built a better city than Constantine

That's the thing though, you can't compare Constantine alone with the Ottoman dynasty. There were many, many emperors who invested in Constantinople, a city which as you say went through many periods of decline and fluctuation in its population from let's say the 5th to the 9th centuries.
There were Byzantine emperors who better restored Constantinople to its former glory than Ottoman sultans. There were fires, civil disturbances, coups, riots, etc. over the thousand years the city was Roman, but we seem to be saying that the 4th Crusade was the end of any prospect of the city being at the level it was when John was emperor.

> base your opinion on unrealistic expectations of a different time period and on things like novelty that have very little to do with the topic beyond aesthetics. This is not unreasonable nor artificial magnification.

They are consciously based on something that was about a thousand years old when they were built.
They were built in a particular tradition which must be intelligible to us if it were to be intelligible to the Ottomans.
As I've said, I am not basing my opinion on an anachronistic love of novelty. This is magnification, since you are trying to present the Ottomans as at least as great as their predecessors in an area which they simply were not.

>>3197744

>So they were like the Romans after all

No more than the Franks, that was my point. Armies used functional tactics, by your logic the Persians were 'like the Romans', which in a sense is true and in a sense is not.

Not so much a case of an advanced and inferior society, but the changes to the valley of Mexico made by the Spanish and later the Mexicans have had spectactular consequences on Mexico City.

Memes aside, Cairo? Everything the Muslims could do was use the stones from the pyramids to build shanty towns.

If Yakub was so great, why did he create white people?

>>3199954
He was too intelligent to want to live around niggers.

>>3199954
it was a great mistake, he created semites, whites, asians, and siberians. and let them settle in eurasia. they grew in population and rebelled against emperor Yakub XVIII and defeated him, effectively massacring the blacks of the world and confining them to a post apocalyptic sub Saharan Africa. the black Sumerians, dravidians, and australoids, and olmecs were the only ones who remained before they were overpowered. the eurasians eventually formed nation states and eventually became the Hwan Koreans and Finnish khaganate.

Sure, Tenochtitlán

Lets first remember what happened in Markarth.
>Advanced Civilization (Dwemer) builds city
>Disappears for unknown reason
>Lesser civilization comes and starts to live in the abandoned city (The Forsworn)
>A slightly more advanced civilization comes and kicks them out and starts to live there (The Nords).
So taking this into account, I would say the city of Teotihuacan would be the closest thing I know about
>Mesoamerican civilization builds Teotihucan
>Their city collapses for no clear reason and they leave
>Mexicas find Teotihuacan and claim it as if their ancestors/gods built it for them or somethinig
>Spaniards come and fuck them over.
It is not exactly the same since the Mexica were not really lesser than the builders of Teotihucan and the spaniards were the most technologically advanced of the 3 groups, but whatever.

>The blacks never took the time to learn the skills that were needed to maintain a white society.

The blacks never needed them, in fact they were shut out from education and clerk duty, and they had no chance to build an educated middle class when Britain and France abandoned them. The blacks were victims of decolonisation

That's a funny way of saying Turkics who moved in and the Indians who weren't killed that were forcibly converted.

Pakistanis are not turkic, lol

>>3203204
The reason they aren't Hindu is because they were massacred by Turkics and converted to Islam by their new rulers. If that never happened that would just be one more part of India.

Incorrect anon. I've been to Peru. My entire family tree is from Peru. The people there are racist towards the natives. There aren't that many. It's ironic; people pride themselves in their food and culture, but you see Inca on the streets of Lima selling their wares that they have sewn and made themselves? Working hard to make a living? Natives are sub-humans to them. All because they speak Quechua, they wear their traditional clothing, and they are browner than everybody else.

Did you know that women there put on whiter make-up because it is socially acceptable and encouraged to look whiter?

Lack of white tourism because these colonies were mismanaged by blacks. Faggot. White tourists don't care about who rules the place (see Egypt or China), they care about not visiting dangerous shitholes.
