More Ertuğrul


The History of Anatolia : Every Year
Anatolia has always been an interesting region in a historic point of view. Indeed, that is where the biggest empires ever were created and where they spread from.From the Achaemenids to Byzantium, from the seleucids to the Ottomans, see the history of this complex region from 1550 BC to today. - Khey Pard
The video covers 3500 years and runs about 12 minutes, which means we get about 5 years per second. Some empires last for minutes, like Rome, which translates into hundreds of years. Some only appear as a brief flash, like 'something-Turkey' around the end of WW1. Many only last for a few seconds, but even ten seconds translates into 50 years.

The Ottomans, which is why we are looking at this, don't appear on this map until the year 1300 (the 9:30 mark in the video). Ertuğrul was the father of Osman who founded the Ottoman Empire.

Ertuğrul is nominally a subject of Sultan Alâeddin, supreme leader of the Seljuk Empire, which lasted from 1037 to 1194. It doesn't appear on the map until until about 1050 and disappears around 1160.

If you are concerned about details, you really need to watch a bigger version of this video. This embedded version is just too small.
