Why should we trust you?

My understanding from even talking to people, I was now, listen, I'm talking to people when I'm in Turkey.

Yeah.

So obviously they're going to be biased.

There's, you know, some historical beef.

But what the guide that I had was telling me is that like Greek was the dominant, was just a dominant culture.

Like wherever it existed, that became the language and people wanted to embody it for whatever reason.

So our idea of a Greek empire isn't like there are all these interconnected states that were maybe as interwoven as like Rome was.

But kind of like different nation states that all spoke a language and shared a culture.

Yes, like culture was the valuable thing.

So even if you were living in Turkey at the time, you still even, my understanding was, and I could be completely wrong on this, but like even when Constantinople falls and Istanbul is there, they're still speaking Greek.

Oh, maybe they are.

This is, what is it, 15... No, no, the fall.

When is the Ottoman Empire takeover?

1500?

I can't say.

I don't know either.

Yeah, go, go, go.

Oh, wow.

And that's how you get the people hyped.
