These moslim girls were praying in Istanbul's biggest and well preserved Church- Saint Antoine. I do myself believe in Humanity itself, prior to cultures, religions and national borders . This photo somehow reflects the aproach I desire humanity would chase after.

Esztergom was the capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV of Hungary moved the royal seat to Buda. During the same period, the castle of Esztergom was built on the site of ancient Roman castrum. It served not only as the royal residence until the 1241 (the Mongol invasion), but also as the center of the Hungarian state, religion, and Esztergom county.
After changing his residence to Budapest, Béla IV gave the palace and castle to the archbishop. Following these events, the castle was built and decorated by the bishops. The center of the king’s town, which was surrounded by walls, was still under royal authority. A number of different monasteries did return or settle in the religious center.
Meanwhile, the citizenry had been fighting to maintain and reclaim the rights of towns against the expansion of the church within the royal town. In the chaotic years after the fall of the House of Árpád, Esztergom suffered another calamity: in 1304, the forces of Wenceslaus II, the Czech king occupied and raided the castle. In the years to come, the castle was owned by several individuals: Róbert Károly and then Louis the Great patronized the town.
The Ottoman conquest of Mohács in 1526 brought a decline to the previously flourishing Esztergom as well. In the Battle of Mohács, the archbishop of Esztergom died. In the period between 1526 and 1543, when two rival kings reigned in Hungary, Esztergom was besieged six times. At times it was the forces of Ferdinand I or John Zápolya, at other times the Ottomans attacked. Finally, in 1530, Ferdinand I occupied the castle. He put foreign mercenaries in the castle, and sent the chapter and the bishopric to Nagyszombat and Pozsony.
However, in 1543 Sultan Suleiman I attacked the castle and took it. Esztergom became the centre of an Ottoman sanjak controlling several counties, and also a significant castle on the northwest border of the Ottoman Empire. In the 17th century Esztergom was besieged and conquered several times during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. Most of the buildings in the castle and the town that had been built in the Middle Ages were destroyed during this period, and there were only uninhabitable, smothered ruins to welcome the liberators.
In 1761 the bishopric regained control over the castle, where they started the preliminary processes of the reconstruction of the new religious center: the middle of the Várhegy (Castle Hill), the remains of Saint Stephen and Saint Adalbert churches were carried away to provide room for the new cathedral.
Baphuon is a Hindu temple located immediate northwest of Bayon in Angkor Thom. It is a massive architecture that measures 120 m by 100 m and 34 m tall plus a 210 m long approach road. It is a typical temple mountain. It would be 50 m tall if the central tower is restored.

It was constructed in the mid 11th century by Suryavarman I who reigned Angkor Empire from 1006 to 1050. The temple was constructed immediate south of his palace. He was also responsible for the constructions of Preah Vihear on the Thai border, Phimeanakas, Ta Keo and West Baray in Yasodharapura (Angkor Thom).
The temple was largely collapsed by the 20th century. It was restored by disassembling to all the pieces and reassembling them like a 4D jigsaw puzzle, which started in 1996 and completed in 2011.

What did I learn? Firstly and most importantly, I learned how small my own knowledge is and that it is a very weak foundation for pronouncing judgement. Knowledge is composite and ever-changing. Over one thousand scholars wrote articles for this dictionary. Secondly, I learned that scholarship can only deal with the human factor in religion, from psychology to sociology, history and textual criticism. Thirdly, one learns about the power of words. Words can project you into heaven or hell - and religious texts have done so and continue to do so. Fourthly, I haven't got any wiser as to the divine. I am as ignorant as before - with perhaps the proviso that I am now much more critical of any statement claiming divine authority. Sorry folks, scholarship does not deliver the "truth", but what it does is clearing away a lot of debris that obstructs our view.
