The first Turkish mosque in Anatolia, which was built in what is today known as the Ani Ruins in Kars province after Seljuk Sultan Alparslan won the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.

As the mosque was built by Ebu'l Manucehr Bey, it is named after him. 🇹🇷

Cup with Animated Script

Iran, Seljuq period, 1200-1221

Brass inlaid with silver

The highlight of the cup’s decoration is the inscription around the rim, with letters composed of human figures, animals, and birds. This is known as animated script, and it developed in northeast Iran or Afghanistan during the mid-1100s and migrated westward. The inscription on the rim of the cup is the pinnacle of this form of script with its full-figure animation. The body of the cup is covered with interlacing bands of compartments containing tiny figures of humans and animals. These represent the 12 signs of the zodiac from astrology, the practice of interpreting the influence of planets and stars on earthly affairs. Astrology began in Mesopotamia, was adopted by the Greeks, and then absorbed into medieval Islamic culture through translations of Greek texts.

The Fourth Crusade was mentioned in Diriliş Ertuğrul. This is where the Catholics (Latins) wanted to retake Jerusalem from the dynasty of Salahuddin: the Ayyubids.

They ended up sacking Constantinople (Eastern Roman Empire) and killing their fellow Orthodox Christians.

For those of you watching the Sultan Mehmed series, this video is an important backdrop to understand the tensions between the Orthodox Christians and Catholic Christians.
