Orban, an Hungarian engineer, offered his cannon-making skills to the Byzantine Emperor but couldn't agree on payment. So, he went to the Ottomans, creating the Great Turkish Bombard. This cannon played a pivotal role in the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Throwing water on the ground before or during a great event (wedding, long travel, exams..) is a Balkans tradition very popular in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and even Albania . It's a pagan tradition so it's probably older than the Byzantine Empire.

That is a fact. Balkan women used to be in charge of all the tasks inside and outside the houses, on the fields also - especially for peasants. Balkan men only existed to bring money, protect them and make children.

Video shows the language that was spoken in the Bulgarian Empire until the 9th century. Then Bulgarians gradually switched to Slavic. Although Volga Bulgarian contained more Arabic words than Danube Bulgarian because the Volga Bulgars converted to Islam, the basis was the same.
