How do you mean that these poor 8 mil Greek people who were little more than a slaves for the last 5 centuries could produce more scholars than 40 mil Ottoman Greek Anatolian scholars?
You are just another victim of false propaganda.
There is no such thing as culture, it evolves according to agenda, religions, times. Look at modern Greeks, they don't have culture, they have adopted Germanic culture both in everyday lives, they have even started
the process of adopting Orthodoxy to Frankish Catholicsim by adopting Frankish Calendar.
So who actually destroyed Culture?
Our goal in Byzantine Empire was to stay away from West in difference and everything, and we succeed with Ottoman Empire where Greeks failed miserably.
Look at Greece and Look at Turkey.
Turkey still independent geo-political and cultural subject while Greece has sold everything to Western moneylanders, even Roads will be in German property. hahahahah.
