@_bbbq_: the obelisk of theodosius (dikilitaş, 1425BC, egyptian) - this is only the top half of the original obelisk, so the hieroglyphs are incomplete. the serpent column (yılanlı sütun, 479BC, greek) - three heads and the base are missing. the walled obelisk (örmetaş, built before 958AD, roman) - the bronze layer had fallen off. all three at sultanahmet square (hippodrome), istanbul #obeliskoftheodosius #dikilitaş #serpentcolumn #yılanlısütun #walledobelisk #örmetaş #egyptian #roman #greek #byzantine #ottoman #sultanahmetsquare #hippodromeofconstantinople #constantinople #istanbul #turkey #türkiye
