Capstones in Istanbul
The Giza Capstones seem to be in Istanbul?
- The Giza Capstones were in Istanbul at the Collapse of Byzantium. They are depicted in pictures of the Byzantine Hippodrome, as it was in a ruinous state after the collapse of the Byzantine state. The Rationale is that Byzantines collected glories from across their empire to place in their Hippodrome.
- Updated the Capstones Video, Rough measurement indicates that the 'Giza Capstone' as depicted in the Hippodrome woodcut is 7.1 meters, which compares favourably to the 9 meters that the Giza capstone would have been. Allowing for artistic licence, I believe this to be within an accepptable margin of error.
