For those of you who are interested in the history of the glorious city of Istanbul, I suggest you listen to the podcast by Lars Brownworth, called "12 Byzantine Rulers", its an excellent podcast which you can find here: http://www.12byzantinerulers.com/ Or you can alternatively download it on iTunes to put it on your ipod/iphone. Although he does paint a kind of negative image of the Turks (especially one of my favourite rulers, Mehmed II), he does paint a good picture of what Anatolia was like before the Ottomans, its really quite fascinating and easy to listen to. Tell me what you guys think, after listening PS. After finishing the series, I had a sudden urge to play as Byzantium in Stainless Steel PPS. Kind of off topic, but here is a website about Turkish Archery, and they have AMAZING Turkish themed wallpaper for your desktop, here is the website: http://www.turkisharchery.info/?p=overview
