The design feature of Hagia Sophia that is considered the most daring is the main dome encircled by a band of forty windows.
Explanation
Hagia Sophia is consideed by many as the masterpeice of Bryzantine architecture and it is located in Turkey. The daring feature of the masterpeice is doubtlessly the central dome which is 184 feet high and has a diameter 102 feet. The very fact that the huge dome sits on pendentives and not on a flat solid base makes the structure a daring one.
Pendentives are supporting arches at square corners makes a circular plan possible. The main dome can be called a succession of smaller domes because the arches at east and west are extended by half domes that rest on even smaller portecos.
Judging from your other questions, I would guess the Aztecs, because they had an extremely advanced civilization relative to their time period. However, you might want a second opinion to verify this. Hope this helps.
Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world and share a historical and traditional connection, with some major theological differences. The two faiths share a common place of origin in the Middle East, and consider themselves to be monotheistic.
The effect of the spread of Islam was an increase in trade. Unlike early Christianity, Muslims were not reluctant to engage in trade and profit; Muhammad himself was a merchant. As new areas were drawn into the orbit of Islamic civilisation, the new religion provided merchants with a safe context for trade. The application of sharia—Islamic law derived from the Koran—ensured a certain measure of uniformity in the application of criminal justice. Sharia law protected commerce and imposed stiff punishments for theft and dishonesty. Muslim jurists called qadis were established to resolve disputes through the application of sharia. Merchants were thus provided with a forum for making complaints and having them resolved in a consistent and systematic way. Trade and travel were not as risky or perilous as before and both thrived with the coming of Islam.
