See in Istanbul

See in Istanbul 




Topkapi Palace is the symbol and the center of the Ottoman Empire. Overlooking Istanbul Bogazici (Bosphorus) and the Marmara sea, stands this amazing building that was the great palace of the Ottoman Sultans. The palace is a collection of buildings arranged around a series of courtyards and has incredible collections of jewels, China, pieces of Ottoman and Islamic artwork.

Asian side is mostly a residential area. There is not much of historic interest except the Asian side of Bosphorus. It is nicer to live there since it is quieter compared to European side.

Bermuda Triangle

 

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which ships, planes, The triangle doesn't exist according to the US Navy and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.For decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s fabled Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people.

 Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis. Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances. The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea. The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place.  This is true all over the world.
