I dont prefer anything. History has been written without us. But I love some turkish inventions like halva (persian actually) and hammam (ancient greek > roman > byzantine).


As far as I remember, when Turcs arrived to the seashore they hired greeks and arabs to make a fleet. It took 200-300 years to do it, but finally they had a Barbarossa and a Piri Reis. Where do you think they found the tactics and the maps? From heaven or from Ptolemeus?
