As a Turk, I have studied the history of Ottoman Empire since I was a child. This documentary seems to be trying to show that both Christianity and Islam let their followers down in the battleground. The reason why Fatih Sultan Mehmet want to conquer Constantinople is depicted as "spiritual" reason in the documentary, yet it is due to economical and geographical boundary in the reality.
Secondly, in Netflix "documentary - TV series MIX" conquest is discussed with the point of view of Giovanni and he leads the field. In addition, Fatih Sultan Mehmet is shown as someone who is not capable, not well prepared and even in a scene he is punished with whip. However, in reality Ottomans never spills the blood of royal family and when they had to do, they just made their son "drowned".
Thirdly, mortar was designed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet but Netflix shows it like somebody else did. Netflix shows him like he abruptly decided to conquer and did it immediately. However, he also prepared for this conquest many years. ,
If you ask me "how can you know more than Netflix and claim these are the errors" because the person they chose as history professor "Celal Sengor" (the fat - wearing glasses guy) is indeed geologist in Istanbul Technique University. He has nothing to do with history and even worse, he claims that Ottoman never became an "Empire". If you look at the title of this documentary series, it says "rise of empires" ironically, Netflix ask someone's opinion who claims Ottoman is not empire.
This is the last time I watch Netflix, I can't stand this kind of corruption.
