Bulgaria?

uncle phil · 11-30-2008, 03:04 AM

albany?

BadNick · 11-30-2008, 12:23 PM

not Bulgaria, I'm still south of there.

not Albania...east of there.

uncle phil · 11-30-2008, 12:29 PM

is georgia on your mind?

BadNick · 11-30-2008, 07:33 PM

It is, but that's still not where I am. I'm west of Georgia. Tul was closer when he guessed Bulgaria. I think if you add up all the guesses and clues, you only have a couple choices as to where I could be.

good will clue: think "transcontinental"

Tully Mars · 12-01-2008, 03:00 AM

Macedonia?

uncle phil · 12-01-2008, 03:17 AM

turkey?

BadNick · 12-01-2008, 06:32 AM

OK unc, you got the country = Turkey.

Now keep in mind that I said I was in Europe and at a sacred place and you will be finding me very soon.

Tully Mars · 12-01-2008, 08:53 AM

In Istanbul?

BadNick · 12-01-2008, 09:47 AM

Tully Mars · 12-01-2008, 09:57 AM

Bosphorus Bridge? Maybe not sacred but it is transcontinental.

BadNick · 12-01-2008, 10:00 AM

Not the bridge. The "transcontinental" clue was just to get you to Turkey since it is partly in Europe and partly in Asia; that clue has no further bearing on where I am. So look for a holy place in the European section of Istanbul and you'll find me.

Tully Mars · 12-01-2008, 10:26 AM

Sancta Sophia?

BadNick · 12-01-2008, 12:53 PM

My prayers to St. Sophia are answered! You found me, Tul. You're up, go hide.

Hagia Sophia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hagia Sophia is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.

In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features — such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside — were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.

For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Rüstem Pasha Mosque.

Although it is sometimes referred to as Saint Sophia (Greek for wisdom), the Greek name in full is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, and it was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God rather than a specific saint named Sophia.

Tully Mars · 12-02-2008, 01:52 PM

No, but Campeche is a really cool place. Lots of old Spanish forts, churches etc... many of the forts were Spanish, before they were pirate's before they were Spanish. Now I think their just Mexican.

I give you a clue. I'm on the water. You're on the wrong body of water.

uncle phil · 12-02-2008, 01:56 PM

Wasn't the ancient city of Tenochtitlan built on an islet in Texcoco Lake, and currently that is where Mexico City is?

Are you in Mexico City?
