Listen "S01 E03 Sultanate of Rum"
Episode Synopsis
Countries That Don't Exist Anymore whisks you away to the Sultanate of Rum, AKA medieval Turkey. Join Ed and Phil on a trade route through Anatolia, stopping at the caravanserais of conquest, gentrification and the Crusades.
Why did one sultan think he was German? What did Kilij Arslan have to do with the Anglo-Saxons? And could a lowly governor in the Sultanate ever become Emperor of Constantinople? Find out right now... or after that nap.
