They are playing a game called 'oğlancılık'. Very common in the palaces of the Ottoman Sultans. It is likely they are 'devshirme' from the Balkans.

Don't worry Deniz, just say it, Greeks, it's alright, Bumbulla will not get upset, he knows about it, how else would he have the picture?

yeah and the clan latched on it straight away huh?... :lol:


You can imagine that a lot of offsrping would sprout out from the 'cariye's' as well. I suppose it was a kind of 'entertainment' for the residents of the seraglio (read prison). Some of these became high ranking officials at the 'Porte'. I wont say incest too was unknown but a few of the Sultans were 'mad'. The most famous being 'Deli Ibrahim'.

Yep. It did catch on, from wherever it appeared.

My sources were books written in Turkish, published in Turkey many years ago. I guess you'd say more Turkish propaganda. :lol: :lol:

That wasn't a fez Boomers The fez was still a Greek/Macedonıan fingy which the Ottomans adopted from the Greeks much later. That pic ıs a sixteenth century erotica/mınature. Runaway more likely. :lol: :lol:
