Native American to Hagia Sophia
There have been many revolutionary inventions that led to the developments of famous buildings, architecture, artwork and were impacted by cultural diffusion. The Native Americans had their own ways of life and own cultures that they practiced. Early Native Americans lived in small farming and fishing villages that provided them with food and various resources, but they also grew their own crops such as corn, beans and vegetables. Natives didn't have much access to supplies like the Europeans did, so they used resources they had available to make shelter. They made themselves tipis which fit their nomadic lifestyles and were easy to build and move. Tipis were made from a frame of wooden poles and then covered with cloths and animal skins to keep themselves warm. The transformation of typical Native American tipis to the Hagia Sophia arised from technological and revolutionary inventions. The Hagia Sophia was built as a Christian cathedral, then changed into a massive mosque, a Muslim place of worship, and is now a Museum that still stands today. The building is laid out with mosaics from the Byzantine empire. Just like the Native Americans had their tipis which showed cultural value to them, the Hagia Sophia was used for religious purposes in Turkey.
