10:30 hanged, not hung. A person sent to the Tyburn tree for execution was hanged. The judge would say, "You shall be hanged by the neck until dead, and may God have mercy on your soul." A man who is hung has an entirely different condition. It's one of those archaic bits of English we don't have to think about much any more, but there is a proper terminology for it.

There is enough farm land to feed the world, but food is only grown to produce profit in the wealthiest countries. If the world population ate food and consumed textiles the way us Americans do, we would already need 3-5 planets.

I forgot his name, but there was a Chinese emperor who died while touring faraway from his capital. His servants pretended he was alive by using screens, and leaving his carriage close to carts full of rotting fish to cover the smell.

The 1422 Siege of Constantinople was a pivotal event in Byzantine and Ottoman history. Technologically, both sides were evenly matched. The Ottomans had just acquired cannons, leveling the playing field. The siege was lifted due to a rebellion elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Murad II had to deal with this internal threat, forcing him to abandon the siege. This rebellion was backed by regional powers wary of Ottoman resurgence. Byzantine tradition credits a miraculous intervention for their survival. An apparition reportedly inspired the defenders. Despite this victory, the Byzantine Empire was in decline, facing economic issues and a lack of soldiers. Constantinople would eventually fall in 1453.

Basically, Bayezid playing with skull "pyramid" kid at Ankara brought the otttoman empire 50 years in the past so Mehmed and Mourad 2 had to spend all their reigns to do the same thing as Orhan and Mourad 1 until Mehmed 2 do what his great grandfather was supposed to do.

Very informative video thanks bro

Very informative video (once more)about a somehow obscure period of History. Still I have to make a minor correction. While the final ottoman assault was taking place it was the silhouette of the Holy Virgin herself that made an Apparition.

Great video just felt like more time could of gone into the siege

It's a great video though it's also funny as most of the videos content is background info with only a brief mention of the siege itself, The title would of been better as "Why the Ottoman withdrew from the siege of Constantinople"

Some things we use as Turks I would like to share proverbs. If 2 Jews come together, they form a company; If 2 Turks come together, they will establish a state. If the Turks run out of enemies, they will fight each other. I think these proverbs describe internal rebellions very well.

Hi K&G, I am enjoying to watching your videos, I didnt search but if you dont have, can you make a video about Ottoman's India campaign through sea, aceh sultanate and ottoman's battle with china through east turkestan (xinjiang)?

I am curious about the relationships and the emotions of Murad II. Did he have a distant emotional relationship with his brothers, uncles and so on? Or was this warring among relatives troubling to him? Because from the description of these events. It seems like the Ottoman rulers must have been used to fighting their family in power struggles and not been particularly close.
