Good question- many. The walls of Constantinople, for example, were made with Limestone Mortar, a brilliant idea. But the biggest contributions I believe the Byzantines made was in their religion- the Hagia Sophia was one of the most beautiful cathedrals ever built, indeed, it converted Princess Olga of Russia and later Vladimir of Russia. While we're on Russia, it would be good to mention that Russian culture up to 1917- when the Soviet Union arose- was greatly based on Byzantine culture in architecture, religion, and society. For example, like the Byzantines they were Orthodox, and their leader, the Czar, still reigned over the patriarchs. The Byzantines also made an important contribution to our supply of Greek and Roman literature today (as did the Arabs), and without their manuscripts much of what we know would have been lost. All in all, the Byzantines were a successful civilization for a good 1000 years who made many clear contributions. Although they were vanquished in 1453, they are stillrightly remembered today. But that's nobody's business but the Turks, eh?
