🏛️ Abbasi Halifeliği: Rönesans'ı Ateşleyen Bir Devrim 🌟 M.Ö. 750 yılında Abbasiler İslam'ın Altın Çağı'na öncülük ederek Umayadları devirdiler. İkonik Bağdat'taki "Yuvarlak Şehir"inden İslam dünyasını bilgi, kültür ve yenilikçi bir fenerine dönüştürdüler. 🕌✨ 🌍 *Bağdat'ta Yeni Bir Çağ* M.Ö. 762 yılında Halife Mansur tarafından kurulan Bağdat, Arapları, Farsları, Türkleri ve daha fazlasını canlı bir İslami kimlik altında birleştirerek küresel bir ticaret, diplomasi ve aklın merkezi haline geldi. 💡 *Öğrenmenin Altın Çağı* Harun el-Reşid ve el-Ma'mun gibi halifeler kültürel bir patlamayı körükledi: 🧠 *Bilgelik Evi* Yunanca, Farsça ve Hint metinlerini tercüme etti. 📚 Harezmi cebiri icat etti, El-Razi tıbbı devrim yaptı ve İbn Sina'nın *Tıp Kanonu* küresel sağlık hizmetini şekillendirdi. 🔬 El-Hasan ibn el-Heysem optiğe öncülük etti, bilimsel yöntemin temelini attı. 🎭 *Sanat ve Felsefe gelişti* El-Mutanabbi gibi şairler, Sufi mistikleri ve El-Farabi gibi filozoflar Yunan rasyonalizmini İslam düşüncesiyle harmanlamışlardır. Abbasi mahkemesi ipek, müzik ve kütüphanelerle göz kamaştırdı. 🎵🎶 🕌 *Dini Çeşitlilik* Abbasiler Sünni İslam'ı teşvik ederken Şii, Haricit ve İsmail düşüncelerinin yükselişini gördüler ve ilahiyat okullarının zengin bir duvar halısını beslediler. 🗣️ *Reddet ve Miras* 10. yüzyıla kadar, parçalanma başladı. 1258 yılında Bağdat'ın Moğol çuvallaması ve vilayet hanedanları Altın Çağ'ı sonlandırdı. Ancak Abbasilerin mirası 1517 yılına kadar Kahire'nin sembolik halifeliğinde yaşadı. 🌙 *Bir Medeni Güç* Abbasiler antik bilgeliği, kaynaşmış kültürleri ve Avrupa Rönesansına ilham vermişlerdir. Hikayeleri kalemin kılıçtan daha güçlü olduğunu kanıtlıyor. ✍️ 💡 #AbbasidCaliphate #IslamicGoldenAge #HouseOfWisdom #Baghdad #IslamicHistory #HistoryMatters #ScienceAndCulture #MedievalHistory #ZaneHistoryBuff #theinsidehistory

✈️🌍 Why Do Flight Paths Look Curved? When flying from *Abu Dhabi to Los Angeles*, you might expect a straight path across the Atlantic or Mediterranean. In reality, the flight takes a curved route over Iran, Russia, the North Pole, and Canada before reaching the US west coast. The reason? The Earth is *spherical*, and the shortest distance between two points on a sphere is called a *Great Circle Route*—a curved line on flat maps, but actually the most direct path. 🗺️ Flat maps are misleading Projections like the *Mercator map* distort distances and shapes. A route that appears curved is actually shorter, while a "straight" line on the map may be longer. 💡 Why do planes take this route? - Shorter distance - Less flight time - Lower fuel consumption - Reduced operating costs - Sometimes to catch favorable jet streams 📜 Ancient knowledge Muslim scholars like *Al-Biruni* and *Al-Idrisi* understood Earth's shape and calculated such paths centuries ago for navigation and determining directions. 🌐 So, what looks strange on a flat map is actually the most *efficient and direct path* on our spherical Earth. #GreatCircleRoute #FlightPaths #AirTravelFacts #GeographyMatters #AviationScience #TravelSmart #CurvedNotCrooked #Map

Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷... Did you know that Istanbul, located in Turkey, is one of the most important cities in the world due to its history, culture and geographical location. It is the only city that straddles two continents, Europe and Asia, divided by the Bosphorus Strait. Founded as Byzantium and later known as Constantinople, it was the capital of three great empires: the Roman, the Byzantine and the Ottoman. Istanbul is famous for its impressive architecture, such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace, former residences of the Ottoman Sultans. The city is also known for its vibrant culture and diversity, reflected in its cuisine, bazaars and historical monuments. Today, Istanbul is the economic and cultural center of Turkey, combining the ancient and the modern. Its streets are filled with bustling markets, such as the Grand Bazaar, along with cosmopolitan neighborhoods and modern skyscrapers. It is a popular tourist destination for its unique mix of cultures, history and modernity. Istanbul's Old City reflects the cultural influences of the different empires that ruled the region.

Istanbul Airport (IST) has achieved an impressive milestone: it is now the most connected airport in the world, with direct flights to 310 international destinations. This vast air network makes it a true global hub, connecting Europe, Asia, Africa and even parts of the Americas quickly and efficiently. Despite this, IST only ranks 7th in the world ranking for passenger movement. In other words, although it is the absolute leader in connectivity, there are still other airports with a higher volume of travelers, such as Atlanta (USA), Dubai and London-Heathrow. This difference shows that connectivity is not the same as volume. While airports like Atlanta concentrate domestic flights and local passengers, Istanbul focuses on connecting between continents, serving as a strategic point for international stopovers. The airport's success is also linked to the growth of Turkish Airlines, one of the companies that flies the most to different countries in the world.
