    At 23:27 I can't help but notice the spirit darting into the dressing room! As it is February, there wouldn't be insects, upon slowing it down and going frame by frame, it appears to be a luminescent blue color. Fantastic! Perhaps letting you know that... "These are my clothes and shoes!" 😂

    I’ve always thought that the crux of the art nouveau is the exuberance, celebration of craftsmanship and imagination and whimsy in the enduring examples. I think of Art Nouveau illustrators like Maxfield Parish, or Mucha as well as buildings from the time and I feel that they’re incredibly whimsical and joyful. That’s why I’ve always been drawn to the style. This building is such a find. I think I could spend all day in there.

    15:01 again, what is this? overdone, turbo ornamentalization, but then it ends around 2 meter high and from that point on you got just white wall? zero taste, tilework spam, that's what this is.

    The portrayal of the Harem in Western culture is often seen through an Orientalist lens. In reality, the Harem was a significant institution involved in politics, waqf, palace politics and the education upbringing of Sultans. It was not simply an Ottoman version of a modern-day playboy lifestyle, which most Westerners accept and tolerate under notions of sexual liberty and personal freedoms.

    10:57 very unfortunate that you had to give a typically fake Western narrative we are all fed up with about the conquest of Constantinople. The very opposite happened when Mehmet entered the Hagia Sofia. The people of the city were crammed in the Church and feared for their lives when Mehmet entered and said you are free to live about your lives and your belongings are safe guaraded. The following days he issued and edict guarantying this as the head of state and and the edict still to this day with Fatih Sultan Mehmet's signiture.

    I wonder if the garden area with the 2 red eyed dragon animals, turrets, and stone patio was the place for ceremonial induction of a Templar or increase in ranking. I believe all the ceremonies were held at night. The place illuminated with candles tucked in the holes of the In the gratto walls. My grandfather was the Grand master of his lodge, my grandfather an eastern star. All there ceremonies were held in the evening. I want to go here. ❤
