Extractions: Medal of Achievement When I stumbled across this text, a small quarter-folio volume printed in Holland in the late 18th Century, I knew I had something special. Whether it was the references to Mayan sacrificial rituals, the carefully laid out schematics of cometary orbits, or its clever play on Greek and Aramaic homonyms, the book had an underlying, telluric , current of gnosis that only a genuine text received from the Hierarchical Masters of Heaven could have supplied. Whether there are any recipients of the Vision of Anthemius still alive is not known. The Tournaments of Balsa , a prerequisite for the degree, have been discontinued for at least 90 years, but perhaps the rules of entry were modified in the interim. Please email me directly with any information.

Mosque Masjid-i Shah Isfahan Yama Sultan Ahmed I, who ascended the throne at the age of fourteen was an extremely religious-minded sultan, who displayed his religious fervor in his decision to construct a mosque to compete with Ayasofya . For the site, a suitable place was long sought before the decision was taken. At last the mosque decided to build on the site of the palace of Ayse Sultan. The owner of the palace was compensated and the site prepared by the architect Sedefkar Mehmet Ada, who began the construction in 1609. This architect poet and inlayer completed this great work in 1617. An imperial lodge, school, service kiosk and single and double storied shops were included in the complex, which spread over the area around the mosque. The mosque itself is surrounded on three sides by a broad courtyard, and is entered on each side by a total of eight portals. The inner court is reached through three gates, and is paved in marble, and surrounded by revaks supported on columns of pink granite and marble, and two of porphyry, and surmounted by 30 cupolas. A fine fountain for ablution takes up the center of the courtyard, surrounded by six marble columns. The mosque is unique with its six minarets in Istanbul. Four of these have three balconies, two have two balconies each, a total of 16 in all.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. L et's play a game with history and technology. First, I'll use my computer to generate a random date between 1 AD and 1950 AD. Just a minute. There! The computer gave me 584. So today we'll ask what was going on in the year 584 AD. Boy! Is that ever a lousy date! The Roman empire was coming apart. Christianity was mired in politics. China had been through 400 years of civil war. It would settle down again, but in the next century. The Prophet Mohammed was just 14. His followers would build a great civilization, but not for a while. Right now we hovered between the old world and the new. The center of civilization was the city of Byzantium today's Istanbul, Turkey. Byzantium had built a great wall against the West. It gazed East across the Bosporus. Thus armored, it was becoming a static, closed world. Yet that's the best place to look for inventive energy in 584 AD.

Extractions: Considered the finest example of Byzantine architecture in the world, the church of Hagia Sophia was constructed on a scale unprecedented in human history. Under the rule of Justinian the Emperor, and with a force of 10,000 workers, the dome atop the church of Hagia Sophia was built in record time: it took just five years, ten months, and four days to complete. But when construction began, Anthemius found himself in a geometric fix. How would he build a circular dome atop a square base? Anthemius arrived at a revolutionary solution. He built four massive columns at the corner of each square. On top of the columns, he built four arches. He then filled the spaces between the arches with masonry to create curved triangular shapes called pendentives. The pendentives and the tops of the arches combine to form a strong base for the dome. But it was the dome that made Hagia Sophia the most complex building of antiquity. The shallow dome was made from 40 equally spaced ribs. Forty windows were then set at the dome's base, creating the sensation that the dome actually floated over the church.

A long-time resident of Istanbul, Turgut helped us find our way around and proved to be a font of information, not only about the city, but also about cycling in Turkey. He is an enthusiastic advocate of cycling and hopes to promote it as an alternative means of transportation, as a sport, and as another venue for tourism. He has taken a number of long bike trips around Turkey himself and hopes to organize bicycle tours for visitors as well. The BikeAbouters can attest to the wonderful cycling in Turkey. Indeed, they only wish they had time to do more. The country's amazing natural beauty, good road network, and hospitable people make it a perfect destination for (fit) cycle tourists. We would like to thank Turgut for his invaluable help and to applaud his efforts to promote cycling in Turkey.

"Probably Istanbul's most famous landmark, the Hagia Sophia (also spelled Ayasofya) was built by the emperor Justinian I in the year 537 AD. Built in only six years, the structure was designed by the architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus. On May 7, 558, the dome of the church collapsed due to a December 557 earthquake, and though a new dome was quickly rebuilt, historical records tell us that it was not identical to the original."
