"If they are smart enough to chain the sea, then we are creasy enough to sail the ships on land" Mehmet II

Muhammad Mustafa, the prophet who heralded the conquest; He gave this great inspiration and duty to the most beautiful commander and the most beautiful soldier approximately 833 years before the conquest of Istanbul...

I truly believe that this video is specially made as a respond to a certain statement made by Imran Hossein in his interview with Dilly Hussein.

The Fateh Sultan turned hills into the waves jungles into sea Allah bless Fateh Sultan and His troops.

I want to see Mehmed II in FGO. It would be fun to see Constantine XI and him together in Chaldea just like Iskandar and Darius III.

Tursun Beg, an Ottoman historian in the court of Mehmet II, an eyewitness of the fall of Constantinople in 1453:

" ... After having completely overcome the enemy, the soldiers began to plunder the city. They enslaved boys and girls and took silver and gold vessels, precious stones and all sorts of valuable goods and fabrics from the imperial palace and the houses of the rich... Every tent was filled with handsome boys and beautiful girls..."

Istanbul- where fantasy meets reality.

so many comments from simpletons that have never been, or seen but speak like they have a role in Her future..
stop talking. start living. visit Istanbul.

Like king Leonidas in the past, emperor Konstantinos kept the Hellenic light on by deciding that 80, 000 Greek lives were nothing compared to our history and our future. We owe it to him that have found the strength to expel the Ottomans from Greece and regain our sovereignty 200 years ago. Never ever, have the Greeks surrendered to Eastern tribes!

60 MILLION TOURISTS COME EVERY YEAR > Please share with them the Truth and Islam and Life after death

If you had a date in Constantinople, she’ll be waiting in Istanbul.

Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih (May Allah have mercy on him) is such an inspirational figure.

[SafavidAfsharid]

Conquering a city of barely 70, 000 people is very tough.
