A coin from an ancient Greek Byzantine city where Constantinople stands today.

Where is the city called Constantinople? While you are at it, explain the Israilies where Palastine is. We are all hungry for knowledge.


Re kourpetie, the post was meant for those who know where Constantinople is, not for blind uneducated people. :)

BTW who are the 'Israilies' and where is 'Palastine'? ( Great spelling from an educated person). :roll:

The explanation we were given in school is nearer the mark. Ataturk saw the crescent and a star in the pool of blood during the battle against the Greek soldiers.

That coin was long before Ataturk. It was the time of Philippos, Alexander the Greats father. But what did you expect them to teach you at school? :roll:

Is it that difficult to believe? That he could see such an image after a battle on a night when the moon is born. I would have thought, they used it despite that fact that the east roman empire used it, is more reasonable to contemplate.

So typical of Turks.

Raise some doubt as to the origins of their revered flag and all hell breaks loose.

You are medieval. :?

Evolution has forsaken you, idiot.

There is no proof as to how it came about. The real question is would they have taken their enemy's symbol and is what I have been taught at school that unbelievable?
Judging by your typical greek illogic, I get this feeling I know what you are thinking. I am convinced that your stupidity is on account that you walk upside down and too much blood gets into too your little brain. You suffer from Blood brain imbalance, I would sik some medical help if I was you.

Fascination over symbols just shows how narrow minded we are, if we dont agree on stupid trivial things like flags and street names then we truely are medieval barbarians. What you call "provocative symbols" are put there by the extreme people/parties, the same people that are working against a solution. So if there is a solution, its only natural that these symbols will go down with their owners.
