<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7401959, member: 110350"]I noticed the same thing. I suppose whoever created this based the date on the idea that that's when the Ottoman Empire reached its peak. Probably they put the end of the Roman Empire's "reign" in 180 AD, the year that Marcus Aurelius died, for the same reason. Both of which are silly in equating the supposed high point with the "end." And reflect a rather transparent "massaging" of facts to fit a pre-existing theory, going about things the other way round from forming your theory based on facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
