The theme song got in my head!
By the way, the show is about the struggles the nomadic Turks faced against both the Crusades and the Mongols, which was why they banded together and formed the Ottoman Empire--an Islamic State. This is central to the history-not propaganda.
We looked up things often and we're surprised to find the depiction of the Crusades were factual. We've been fed a bill of goods about that history.
Also, the horses they use are from a breeding program that is bringing these horses back. They are as close as possible to the horses used a millennia ago.
