How dare she get the love of our golden boy?

Of course she's going to piss off the people who are telling the story 100 or 150 years later.

They raise you up and they pull you down.

No, we know that there's a spot, I'm doing this with my hands, for the podcast listener.

I'm moving my hands.

There's a spot in the gallery where women would have stood because women wouldn't be allowed to be in the main body of the church with the men.

And this was all church standing.

There weren't pews back then.

But there's a beautiful green jade spot, which was the Empress's spot.

But the Hagia Sophia did not come to fruition as a building until, I think, if I'm remembering rightly, just before she died.

And we know that she died in 548 AD.

And those mosaics that are in Ravenna were finished in 548.

So we don't know what killed her, but she died somewhere between, say, 43 and 45.

Is there any place that she's buried?

I don't think she's still there.

I'm sure that that would have got, like, you know, the Crusades and the rise of the Ottoman Empire.

I don't know.

Maybe I did once, but I've forgotten.

I don't know where she's buried now.

The church, which then became mosque, where she was, because a lot of those churches that were churches in Constantinople are water mosques now.
