Talk:Seljuk Empire

Through Darkest Europe
It just occurred to me that the continued existence of the Seljuk Empire suggests a larger POD before 1157, way before Thomas Aquinas' 1225 birth. Maybe Al-Ghazali's reversal somehow butterflied the Seljuks to success? In my headcanon, the fact that the Seljuks didn't fall, and the Ottomans didn't have to reinvent the Turkic peoples' imperialism a century later, led to Constantinople falling long before 1453. Once again, HT shows his propensity for leaving out important information where it would have been really helpful.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 22:44, October 3, 2018 (UTC)
