The Ottomans continued the theme of borrowing from, or adapting the work of their Byzantine predecessors. The two dominating buildings of historic Istanbul are the Blue Mosque and Haghia Sophia. The latter is a converted Christian cathedral, still containing the images of Jesus and Mary alongside the motifs of the early caliphs. The man mainly responsible for the conversion was the pre-eminent architect of Islam, Sinan. He was lucky enough to win the patronage of Suleiman the Magnificent, one of the richest and the most powerful of Ottoman rulers.

Presented by young scientists, OUR EARTH is a seven part series which looks at: The science of geology; fossils; the molten core of the earth; tectonic forces; the impact of the sun, wind and water on the earth; the composition of rocks, and why we need to understand geology. Geology is the history of earth and life in rocks.
Rocks, and the materials that they contain, are as important to us as food. Equally important, with the more recent discoveries in space, we have begun to understand just how unique and isolated we are. Geology as a science is recent, beginning in the 18th century, but its heritage is prehistoric.
