Seljuk Turks
Shelf by nono umasy
The Seljuk Turks, a prominent force in medieval history, originated from the Central Asian steppes. In the 11th century, they embraced Islam and expanded their dominion into the Middle East, significantly influencing Islamic and world history. Notably, they conquered parts of the Byzantine Empire, leading to the Crusades. Their establishment of the Great Seljuk Empire marked a turning point, as they introduced Persian culture and political systems into the Islamic world, laying the groundwork for future Islamic civilizations. The Seljuks are also renowned for their architectural legacies and advancements in science and education, epitomized by their founding of iconic institutions like the Al-Azhar University.
