I think the main reason we should study the byzantines is because they protected much of Europe. All the invaders that were trying to take over any part of Europe from the East, like people from Asia, have to go through Constantinople to get to the rest of the Country. A few other reasons are that the Byzantine spread the Eastern Orthodox religion. They also saved a lot of classic Greek literature and made laws that we use today. This is why we should study the Byzantines.

Sarah i totally agree with you. Especially the people that are trying to invade Europe. And also the spread of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Greek literature. This makes lots of sense that we should study the byzantine empire.

I think we should study the Byzantines because there are so many different things we go from them. So examples are the laws they used back them some of them we use today. The some of the Greek literature we still use today. That is why we should learn about the Byzantines.

I do argee that there are so many important things that the Byzantines give us. I especially love that you added greek literature into your post. I think the literature is the most important. I agree with you Ana 100 percent.

Other reasons are the literature. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have our daily subjects in schools. Or famous writers. Also we use their laws, now in our daily life. This is why we should study the Byzantines.

I think we should study the Byzantines because of the literature that they preserved in the nineth and tenth century. They helped us by saving things like medical documents by Hippocrates and saving the plays and stories that they saved for us. This is why we should study the Byantines

I agree with you saving the medical documents by Hippocrates really did help us learn about the body.

Samantha, I do not agree with you because if you really think about it, the greeks influenced our literature and our understanding of medicine the most because Greeks influenced theater. If I can remember correctly, I believe Hippocrates was greek.

I think we should study the Byzantines because they preserved Greek literature, science and mathematics. Preserving these Greek literature,science and mathematics documents gave us the Greek contributions we still use today. For example, the Socartic Method. I know many of my teachers use the Socratic Method instead of just giving out answers.

I think we should study the byzantines because for one thing there were 24 attacks and only two were succesful so that means they are good at protecting themselves. Also, because modern day people know ideas of how to fotify and protect all of europe and their city.

I think we should study the Byzantine empire because of there literature and classics. We should study the Byzantines because what would we have learned if we didn't know how to write or how to read.I can prove this because Aristotle was the Greek thinker of literature writings. For example if we didn't know how to write teachers wouldn't have jobs because if they couldn't learn how could we. I can connect to this because if I couldn't read or write well I couldn't learn or function well either.

My opinion to study the Byzabtines is that they had protected Europe and espscialy the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople frome invaders to invade the empire. They had saves us from becoming Muslim. Also us the people of the world study of what the greeks had created.

I think we should study the Byzantines because they protected Europe and saved Western civilization by fighting against the Arabs, defending there area. If the Byzantines never had done this, then we probably would be Muslims today. But it's a good thing that the Byzantines protected Europe from Asia. That's why we should study the Byzantines..
