Once upon a time their was a book about the Byzantine Empire. It was known as the Byzantine 

Empire because of the divide in the 15th century. Occurred when the German Tribes split the 

eastern and western empires. The only reason why it didn't fall was because slavery was not a 

big of a deal as it was on the western sides of the empire. By the year of 500, unfortunately the 

western empire disappeared while the east stood standing for almost 1,000 years.  

Constantinople was named after a great emperor ( Constantine the great ) and the land was 

dedicated to him on May 11, 330. Although, before constantinople was the name it was 

Byzantine. Then later on was named Konstantinoupolis. Constantine is located on the European 

side of the straight of Bosporus. It was a strategic location because of how wealthy it just was 

and how the cities are so developed.

Main Attractions in these two places (Byzantine & Constantinople). One is located on the 

European side, where the channel of Bosporus sits. The Golden Horn a stretch of water, that 

divides the east and west. Last but not least the Grand Bazaar is a very big attraction that is 

surrounded by walls, in the center of Europe with a great meaning to the Europeans.

The Byzantine Empire was deeply influenced by Russia's religion which was Christianity. There 

trading styles were basically a like because of how commonly good their relationships were. 

Another influence that the Russians picked up from the Byzantine Empire was their art life or 

Art world. Saint Methodius and Cyril were both 9th century brothers born in Macedonia. They 

were also christian missionaries who taught the Slavic people about the Great Moravia. They 

were both credited with the first alphabet (Glagolitic), use to "Transcribe Old Church Slavonic". 

The Cyrillic Alphabet was a plane message of missionary work w/ no directed in tensions in the 

19th century. "Apostoles of the Slavs" made by Saint Methodius and Cyril.
