History & Terminate
Plan to set up a new scientific institution in the United States called Thomas Whitmore. He returned to the US after a scientific trip to Western Europe and the Middle East and was concerned about the decline of the monument of architecture and monumental art of the Byzantine Empire after World War I. The countries visited were Bulgaria, Cyprus, Arab Republic of Egypt, Turkey.
In 1931, Boston was founded by the Byzantine Institute of America.
Then the institute was carried over at Dumbarton Ox, Washington. He put together a mission to study and study the monument of architecture and monumental art of the day of Byzantium (mosaics, frescoes, architectural fragments, and remnants of the former building), their painting and photo fixation and so on. They did separate research projects and restoration of specific monuments. So, the good relationship with the political leader of Turkey and Atuila has helped study the former Sofia Constantinople and turn it from the mosque to the secular museum. In 1931, robots were launched.
The individual project was a study and reassembling rescue work in the former Byzantine Church of Jorah with its unique complex of ancient fresco and mosaic 131521, etc. The work in the church of Jorah was in 1948.
