What did the byzantines invent?

მოდიან, ფულს იხდიან და მომსახურების სფეროს ავითარებენ, მიდიან. აქ გრძელვადიანად არ ჩერდებიან და არც კრიმინალურ აქტივობებს ეწევიან. რატომ სძულს ხალხს ისინი იმ დონემდე, რომ მათი ქვეყნიდან გაძევება სურთ?

Nubians (or Nuba? Idk how its spelled) are a very small minority in sudan. Is the goverment triyng to do anything to preserve their culture, are they trying to assimilate them, or are they busy with other internal problems?

I was studying georgian sculpture, and the the book stated that Georgian sculpture couldn't take on a realistic form and which western european statues were able to, because the orthodox church has banned statues in the round. So i have a question: did the byzantines also ban statues in the round? Are there any famous examples of byzantine statues in the round made during the byzantine era (not counting st. Marks horses, since they were sculpted during classical antiquity)

Ive heard it's pronounced as e, as in "men", but duolingo teaches that its pronounced as i as in "information"

I always trough it was pronounced as D, but duolingo pronounces it as a V ("vaviv" instead of David, "epivorpio" instead of epidorpio, etc.)

Do they teach things like the Greco-persian and Peloponnesian wars? (If so, are Greeks portrayed in a neutral light)? Do your history textbooks claim the byzantines to be Greeks or Romans? Do they claim that ancient Macedonians were different from ancient Greeks?

Are there apps, institutions, tutors, etc. who teach the language?

I'm trying to understand how did architecture evolve in great Britain (especially england). Can anyone give me books or internet resources about it?

There are sites in Cyrene, Ephesus, Pelas, vergina, delos, etc. much more important for ancient Greek archaeology than the Parthenon. What makes It more famous than the others?

Can anyone suggest a movie in Greek with English subtitles?

If not, why?

So as far as I know, the saakashvili administration became unpopular and lost the elections badly, but today , many people want the national movement back in the government badly. Can anyone explain why did he lose popularity and regained it afterwards?
