Many present-day countries including England, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt were part of this great empire. The language of the Roman Empire was Latin and Greek. The Western Roman Empire lasted for 500 years, while the Eastern, or Byzantine, empire, which included Greece and Turkey, lasted for a thousand years. The capital of the Eastern Empire was Constantinople.
The Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germans on September 4, 476, while the Byzantine Empire ended with the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans on May 29, 1453. At its height, the Roman Empire covered 5,900,000 square kilometers (2,300,000 sq mi). The culture, law, technology, arts, language, religions, government, military and architecture of Western civilization still have a glimpse of the Roman Empire.

Galactic Genesis: James Webb Telescope Deciphers Early Universe’s Black Hole Enigma

  The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of two early-universe quasars, shedding light on the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies. This breakthrough suggests that the mass ratio observed in more recent galaxies was already present less than a billion years after the Big Bang. JWST’s recent observations of two quasars from the universe’s infancy reveal crucial insights into the early relationship between black holes and their galaxies, echoing mass ratios seen in the more recent universe. New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed, for the first time, starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes –quasars – seen less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The black holes  have masses close to a billion times that of the Sun, and the host galaxy masses are almost one hundred times larger, a ratio similar to what is found in the more recent universe. A powerful comb...

Hazrat Ali (RA) belonged to the tribe Quraish and the family of Bani Hashim in Makah. He was born In the Holy Kabah in Mecca on Friday, 13th Rajab 23 BH. He (RA) was the son of Hazrat Abu Talib (RA) the uncle of Holy Prophet (SAW), who had nourished and brought up Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). His mother Fatima bint-e Asad was also a noble lady belonging to the tribe of Bani Hashim whom the Prophet (SAW) respected as his own mother. When he was born his name was suggested by Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) that’s why his name became more significant. Hazrat Ali (R.A) had a great honor of being the first cousin of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) and was also brought up under His kind and inspiring supervision for most of the time of his life. First Youth to Accept Islam at the early age of 10 Hazrat Ali (RA) was the first among youth who accepted Islam just at the age of 10.

The Statue of Emperor Nero in the Isthmus of Corinth

  The statue of Nero at the Isthmus of Corinth. Video screenshot/YouTube , Updrones The forgotten statue of Nero  at the Isthmus of Corinth is a relic of the time the Roman emperor granted freedom to a part of ancient Greece. It is also a testament to the man who ordered that the Corinth Canal be built. This enormous project allows ships to circumnavigate the Peloponnese on their way to the Ionian Sea and vice versa. However, there are no historical records of who the actual creator was or when the monument of Nero on the rock was sculpted. The Isthmus of Corinth  has been known since ancient times as the dividing line between the Peloponnese and mainland Greece. A manmade waterway there would directly connect the Aegean Sea to the Ionian. In the 1st century AD, geographer Strabo pointed out a stele on the Isthmus of Corinth, bearing two inscriptions. One pointed East towards Megara of Attica. It said: “That is not Peloponnese, but Ionia.” The othe...
