Evliya Çelebi ottoman traveller

Even though those who know him call him 'the cheerleader', 'the master', he called himself the one he knew (hezar-familiar), the non-hypocritical (bi-riya), human friend. He has traveled a lot, has seen a lot, and the most beautiful is what he has seen. Who am I talking about: Evliya Çelebi. When we say traveler, Evliya Çelebi comes to mind first. He traveled from one end of the Ottoman Empire to the other with his travels. He went beyond the Ottoman borders, either in the nature of the pashas or as a government official. He made notes about the places he visited and made comparisons. He collected these near-death notes in the Book of Travels. He says that he was born in Istanbul on 25 March 1611 AD, 10 Hijri Muharram, 1020. “10 Muharrem” is an important day for Evliya Çelebi: the day of Ashura. 

He gave the dates of the days he considered important, as "10 Muharram". He started his education in the primary school in his district and then continued in a madrasah. While he was a hafiz in Ayasofya Mosque in 1635, IV. He entered the palace with the admiration of Murat and received education for 5 years. Apart from Turkish, he learned Arabic, Persian, Greek and Latin. Evliya's life changes with the dream she saw on 10 Muharram 1040/19 August 1630 (another day of Ashura) . In his dream, in Ahi Çelebi Mosque, Hz. He saw Muhammad and his companions together. Hz. While kissing the hand of the Prophet, he would say "Intercession ya Rasulallah" and said "Travel or Resulallah". Hz. The Prophet also smiled and prayed, "Make travel and visit easy for this servant, O Lord." After that, he kisses the hand of the companions in the congregation and takes their prayers. Sa'd bin Ebu Vakkas from among the Companions advised him to write what he saw during the trip. 

After the dream, Evliya Çelebi begins to explore Istanbul. He made his first trip out of Istanbul to Bursa in 1640. Bursa trip was

What do you think the lack of gay characters? I wished they show the homosexuality in Ottoman empire . Who was actually gay and wasn’t shown?

Might be shocking but I am actually happy with the lack of lgbt characters.Look in order to portray lgbt character while talking or showcasing the Ottoman Empire, they wouldn’t be showcasing homosexuality…they’d be showcasing pederasty. Pederasty is a sexual relationship between a man and a young boy or simply a nonconsensual relationship with power imbalance (ie,sultan and servant). The difference between homosexuality and Pederasty is that homosexuality is a consensual relationship between two adult men/women. Pederasty is not. In Ottoman Empire homosexuality is okay as long as it is between high prolific person and a servant, prostitute…etc

So you want them to portray this? An old man humping on a young boy?

Who was possibly gay? Well Idk we will never know who was into boys but rumors has it that Mehmed II , Sulieman the magnificent and Murad IV were probably gay.

Mehmed II kept a young boy called Jacob Notaras for sex. There was also a story with a boy named Radu (later Radu III) that he tried to kiss but Radu managed to climb a tree and escape his fatass.

Sulieman one has to do with Ibrahim pasha. Ibrahim was a beautiful young slave boy that prince sulieman met and was “in love” with. Some say Ibrahim was an eunuch pasha that only married for political shit. Some said they wore each other clothes and were intimate. All this ties to the fact that Ibrahim became the grand vizier untraditionally and was favored. No proof of any intimacy with SS tho..

Murad IV is rumored to be gay too or bisexual for the Musa Celebi thing. It was said they were close and he was murad’s favorite who was brutally murdered and Murad mourned for his death. He called Musa his “beloved” in peoms. Evilya Celebi said he was there with Murad to replace the “beloved” aka Musa.

As I said we will never know if all of these things were true or not. There were definitely homosexual people in the empire (ie, Fatma sultan husband) but it was likely pure pederasty that these old fat men practiced on young fragile boys. Not sure there might be an actual love consensual story we aren’t aware of.

Similar why some characters are aged up like Sultan Ahmed because they ain’t gonna show a 13 years old banging girls of his age, will they?
