The Byzantine Empire was Christian, the Ottoman Empire was not; that's the only justification needed for me to answer that question.

I'm pretty sure the Ottoman Empire was more fun.. more hedonistic.

Did they make their women wear burkas back in those times?

Byzantine Empire; I like icons.

Opebo would have a future there, as a eunuch.

The Byzantine Empire was actually quite a civilized society. Although the Ottoman Empire was also civilized, I would rather live in a Christian country.

Is true, is true. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Why they changed it, I can't say.

Not the same word as Constantinople, which obviously comes from the Emperor Constantine's name, but it comes from it's original name, Byzantium, I believe.
