RE: A walk around Sultanahmet Square and a bit of Istanbul history
Something as simple as the Million Stone could hold such global significance. The idea that Istanbul once defined the world’s zero point is wild, especially knowing it’s in Sultanahmet Square. The Serpent Column’s backstory about melted Persian weapons is a killer detail.

Then it was not Sultanahmet square 🙂
That stone was built by Emperor Constantine in 330, when Constantinople was the center of the Roman Empire.
