The mind baffling legacy of Sultan Mehmet II
Sultan Mehmet was a Hafiz e Quran at the age of 9, he fluently spoke 7 languages, he became the Sultan of the Ottoman state at 11 years of age & conquered Constantinople at the age of just 21despite 23 prior failed sieges. Sultan Mehmet also sent invading force to Italy which totally terrified European states. Sadly, he passed away before he could personally lead his forces against Italy, and in joy the Pope then announced a three day celebration. Church Bells were rung in Venice thus proclaiming:
"La Grande Aquila è Morta"
"The Great Eagle is dead"
