Sorry but speaking too fast! Cannot understand!

[@IstanbulClues]

You can try to turn on the original subtitle of the video. The narratives can be followed word by word from the subtitles. Or you can read the text version of this video from the article at this link: istanbultravelblog.com/istanbul-tourist-maps/

[@usmcgrunt3754]

I can understand. Most people on the comments understand.

[@umitertin4932]

It's not "Spice Bazaar", and it's not "Egyptian Bazaar": In Turkish it's called "Corn Market" (Mısır Çarşısı). So named because it was the grain market during Ottoman times. As it still was to an extent until recently. Why does a Turk have to repeat Orientalist stereotypes? And the Vyzas story is only a myth, and your pronunciation of Greek names are way off. A little more consideration, please, for all the people who have lived here for many centuries.

[@IstanbulClues]

Thank you for your wonderful information, Mr. Umit. Apparently, you claim that the information on the original site of the Spice Bazaar or on the website of the Turkish Ministry of Tourism or Wikipedia is incorrect. It's the first time I've heard the term "Corn Bazaar". You could at least cite sources for your claims. Of course, the founding story of Istanbul, which is related to Byzas, is a legend. Much of the information from the ancient Greek period is based on legends. Ephesus has a similar founding story and these need to be told. The words pronounced in the video are all in English and are correct. If you open the history documentation of channels such as the BBC and History Channel, you will see all the names pronounced this way.
