What's the Connijogzmann?

The Battle of Manzikut took place in 1071, the modern Turkish town of Malas Gert. The Emperor Romana was defeated and made to supplicate or pay homage after being captured during battle. Historians used to think this opened the floodgates to the invasion of Anatolia but it actually stopped them from happening for 25 years. It has become a huge, it's become a totemic moment for the Turkish people - every year you get a million people on the streets in Istanbul in Turkey. This week we go through one of the most interesting and neglected periods of history as our guide leads us towards that important date.
