Türkiye Müzeleri.. 319 Müze

England attracts tourists to London by exhibiting the archaeological documents collected from all over the world in THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

In our country, despite our 12.000 years of human existence in Turkey geography, the archaeological artefacts of our thousands of years of history are scattered in many museums. As in the case of the UK, for example, the re-evaluation of a huge building as THE TURKISH MUSEUM and the evaluation of the artefacts in museums such as Topkapı Palace, Archaeological Museum, Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, etc. in a single structure will make it possible to collect the archaeological artefacts related to our 16 states in a single place and support them with new excavations.

Western and eastern cultural styles and images are found even in the architectural heritage of Turkish cities and antique cities as well. The richest collection in Chinese porcelain is found in Topkapi Palace Istanbul Turkey.

The heritage of the key is the round is with several empires say Hittite empire, eastern Roman empire Assyrian empire Seljuk Empire, Ottoman empire, Alexander the Great Empire and Turkish Beyliks just before Ottoman Empire the several antique civilisations inside Anatolia.

So, all of these empires and states have their traces in the, in architecture and in arts.

What is missing is the Turkish museum as in the example of the British Museum if it becomes visible so we can trace all these heritages in a single museum environment for the business as well.

12th Century Trade Ways 

Why the Turks were negatively selected by their own empire

The idea of the Ottomans negatively selecting Turks within their own empire isn’t entirely accurate. Here’s a breakdown:

The Ottomans weren’t purely Turkish: The empire incorporated many ethnicities, with Turks being the dominant group.

• Meritocracy over Ethnicity: While being Turkish might offer some advantages, the Ottomans often relied on a meritocratic system. People of talent and ability, regardless of ethnicity, could rise through the ranks. This included non-Turks like Albanians, Greeks, and Armenians holding high positions.
• Devşirme System: There was a system called Devşirme, which recruited young Christian boys from conquered lands. These boys were converted to Islam and trained for military and administrative positions. This could be seen as a disadvantage for some Turkish families, but it also ensured loyalty and fresh perspectives in the ruling class.

Possible Reasons for Misconception:

• Later Decline: In the later Ottoman period, with decline and corruption setting in, there might have been a shift towards prioritizing those close to the Sultan, regardless of ethnicity. This could be misinterpreted as favoring a specific group.
• Nationalist Narratives: Modern national narratives in the region might emphasize ethnic differences to create a sense of identity. This could lead to an oversimplification of the Ottoman past.

Further Exploration:

If you’re interested in learning more, you can explore these topics:

• The Ottoman Millet System: This system defined the legal and social status of different religious groups within the empire.
• The Devşirme System: Understanding how this system functioned can clarify the role of ethnicity in the Ottoman power structure.
• The Later Ottoman Decline: Investigating the factors contributing to the decline might shed light on potential changes in the empire’s treatment of different groups.

Why though non muslims were selected for trade Turks were neglected and discouraged

There isn’t clear evidence that the Ottomans actively discouraged Turks from trade. Here’s why the assumption might be off:

• Turks and Trade: Historically, many Turks were involved in trade. Early Ottoman success relied heavily on control of trade routes. While the ruling class might have been more focused on administration and military, there were definitely Turkish merchants.
• Non-Muslims and Trade Networks: Several factors might explain the prominence of non-Muslims in specific trade networks:
• Established Networks: Some non-Muslim communities, like Armenians and Jews, had well-established trade networks even before the Ottomans. The Ottomans might have leveraged these existing networks for their own benefit.
• Specialization: Certain communities might have developed specific skills or knowledge valuable in trade. For example, Armenian merchants were known for their expertise in long-distance trade.
• Language Skills: Non-Muslim communities sometimes spoke multiple languages, facilitating communication across different regions.

The Ottomans and Trade:

• Support for Merchants: The Ottomans generally encouraged trade through a system of guilds and tax breaks for merchants.
• Focus on Control: The Ottomans likely prioritized controlling key trade routes and levied taxes on goods, benefiting the empire regardless of the merchants’ ethnicity.
  Further Considerations:
• Limited Sources: Information about the everyday lives of people, especially ordinary Turks, might be less readily available compared to ruling elites. This could create a skewed picture.
• Regional Variations: The Ottoman Empire was vast, and trade practices might have differed depending on location.

Overall:

While non-Muslims might have been prominent in certain trade sectors, it’s unlikely the Ottomans actively discouraged Turks from participating. The reasons for non-Muslim prominence are more likely due to pre-existing networks, specialized skills, and language advantages.

Did Ottoman empire prefer Turks for military services instead of trade activities

The Ottoman Empire did tend to favor Turks for military service, but it’s not quite as simple as them being discouraged from trade. Here’s a breakdown:

Military Focus:

• Early Ottomans: The Ottomans were a warrior society with a strong military tradition. Turks, being the dominant group, were seen as a natural fit for military service. This helped maintain control over a vast empire.
• Timar System: The Timar system rewarded military service with land grants. This further incentivized Turks to pursue military careers.

Trade and the Ottomans:

• Not Discouraged: There’s no evidence the Ottomans actively discouraged Turks from trade. Many Turks participated in commerce throughout the empire’s history.
• Focus on Control: The Ottomans likely prioritized controlling trade routes and taxing goods, benefiting the empire regardless of the merchants’ ethnicity.

Possible Reasons for Non-Turkish Prominence in Trade:

• Established Networks: Some non-Muslim communities, like Armenians and Jews, had well-established trade networks even before the Ottomans. The Ottomans might have leveraged these existing networks for their own benefit.
• Specialization: Certain communities might have developed specific skills or knowledge valuable in trade. For example, Armenian merchants were known for their expertise in long-distance trade.
• Language Skills: Non-Muslim communities sometimes spoke multiple languages, facilitating communication across different regions.

Overall:

While the Ottomans favored Turks for military service due to their cultural emphasis on warfare, they didn’t actively discourage Turks from trade. The prominence of non-Muslims in certain trade sectors was likely due to pre-existing networks, specialized skills, and language advantages.

Türk İnsanı’nın Ruhu

*******************************

Okul müfredatlarında dini referanslardan yola çıkarak tarikat ve cemaatlerin nezaret ve yönlendirmesiyle müfredatı ideolojik bir içeriğe büründürmek, geleceğimizi de kendimize yabancılaştırmanın en kestirme bir yoludur.

Oysa ki çıkacağımız yol kendimiz ile başlamalı, bu da kendi tarihimizden süzülen karakter ve ruhumuzun açıklanması ve aydınlatılması ile mümkün olacaktır. Kendimize ilişkin destanlar ve ardından yazıtlar çağından başlamak üzere ardından yazmalar ve matbaanın ülkemize gecikerek de olsa girişi ile birlikte yazılar ana referans kaynaklarımızdır. Bu eserlerde biz kendimizi bulmaktayız ve kaynağımız dilimizdir Türkçemizdir.

Sistematik bir inceleme neticesinde Bilge Tonyukuk’u ilk yazılı metninden başlayıp Yunus Emre’nin şiirleri dahil olan 700 yıla yaklaşan dönem içerisindeki yazılmış metinlerde kendi gerçekliğimiz ve karakterimiz olanca çıplaklığı ve netliğiyle düşünürlerimiz tarafından ortaya konulmuş bulunmaktadır.

Önemli olan bu kendi referanslarımızın çocuklarımıza ve gençlerimize eğitim öğretim sistematiği içerisinde aktarılması ve üzerlerinde istişareler, münazara ve söyleşiler yapılarak derinliğine içselleştirilmesidir.
