Alexei Lidov's A Byzantine Jerusalem, The Imperial Pharos Chapel as the Holy Sepulchre, an academic article published through Ashgate in 2012, proposes that the Byzantine imperial Pharos Chapel in Constantinople served as a conceptual model for how the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem was understood. Lidov is an art historian specializing in Byzantine sacred space, and the article rests on academic peer review and comparative analysis of Byzantine architectural and liturgical sources. Its claim is a scholarly interpretive argument rather than an uncontested historical fact, and other specialists in Byzantine architecture may read the relationship differently, so cite it as one documented scholarly position.
