Fact
Apart from the Turkish dramas that remind us of the proverb that “until the lion learns to write, all stories will glorify the hunter”, the name of Artgrel, the leader of the Kayi tribe, one of the most important Turkish Oghuz tribes, is absent from any activities or tournaments recorded in history, as he proved his existence historically after his death thanks to Coins minted by his son, Othman I, which mentioned that his father's name is Artgrel.
In addition, none of the historians of that period mentioned this character, as the name Artgrel was absent from the writings of the Byzantine historian Georgius Pachymeres, born in 1242 and died in 1310, and also absent from the later sources of both the traveler Ibn Battuta, born in 1304, who died in year 1377 and Byzantine Emperor and Historian John VI Kantakouzenos, born in 1292 and died in 1383.
Fairy legends
Contemporary historians also agree that the little that was mentioned about Artgrel in a number of Ottoman sources that came late and dated back to the fifteenth century is nothing more than mythical myths that do not have any connection with reality.
According to the Ottoman heritage, the Kayi tribe, led by Suleiman Shah, came to Anatolia from Central Asia to escape the Mongol invasion led by Genghis Khan during the thirteenth century.
In addition, some sources reported that Suleiman Shah drowned during his attempt to cross the Euphrates River around the year 1236 and buried him near the Citadel of Jaabar in Syria.
It is historically credited with stopping the advance of the Mongols to the Mamluks led by Saif al-Din Qutuz and Rukn al-Din Baybars, where the battle of Ain Jalut on September 3, 1260 witnessed the defeat of the Mughal armies and the killing of Katabuga at the hands of Jamal al-Din Aqosh al-Shamsi at a time when the Seljuk state and its Turkish tribes were at the mercy of Mongols.
After the Battle of Mount Kousa in 1243, the Seljuk Sultan of the Romans, Kikhosrau II, was forced to pay tribute to the Mongols and accept their conditions, and the domination of the Mongol hordes over these areas continued for about 100 years.
In addition, the weakness of the Turkish tribes in front of the Mongolian element became clear again, less than 150 years after the battle of Ain Jalut.
During the year 1402, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I was captured by the Uzbek commander Tamerlane, who claimed his kinship with Genghis and his desire to restore the glory of the Mongols.
Battle of Ankara and the symbol of insult
As a symbol of insult after the battle of Ankara in 1402, Tamerlane forced Bayezid II's wife to serve him wine during his sessions, which led to the death of the Ottoman Sultan, grief and agony in his cell.
Meanwhile, the Ayyubids and the Seljuks played the most prominent role in repelling the Crusades, as
Saladin had a major contribution to recovering important parts of the Holy Land.
His descendants after him also had a prominent place in resisting the following Crusades. Concurrently, the Kayi tribe is not mentioned during the Crusades, as not a single historical source mentions their contributions in repelling the Crusades. In addition, some suggest the possibility of their participation in a very limited way as mercenaries on the side of the Seljuks.
Knights Templar and Conspiracy
In addition to all of this, history does not mention anything about Erturul or Suleiman Shah untangling the threads of a plot hatched by the Knights Templar or their success in attacking the Knights Templar castle and protecting them from a crusade over the next 60 years as promoted by Turkish drama.
According to most historical sources, the French King Philip IV dealt a decisive blow to the Knights Templar and ended their presence at the beginning of the fourteenth century, and their leader Jacques de Moulay burned alive in 1314 in Paris and before that, the Ayyubids and Mamelukes weakened the Templars and expelled them from their sites near the Holy Land.
Tournaments without historical sources
Through heroics that lack any stable historical source, the Turkish drama tries to dwarf the size of the real heroes mentioned by history and insert another intruder Turkish figure with no historical support to compete with Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi and steal his heroics and give his descendants the trait of traitors and show them the appearance of the weak and helpless, like the dear Muhammad the ruler of Aleppo, who continued the achievements of his father Architecture in Aleppo and restoration of parts of it.
On the other hand, the historical sources that confirm the meeting of Artgrel and Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, who is known as Ibn Arabi, are absent. The historical confirming it.
