The Seljuk Empire (also spelled Seljuq) was a medieval Turko-Persianempire, originating from the Qynyq branch of Oghuz Turks. The Seljuk Empire controlled a vast area stretching from the Hindu Kush to eastern Anatolia and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. From their homelands near the Aral sea, the Seljuks advanced first into Khorasan and then into mainland Persia before eventually conquering eastern Anatolia.
The Seljuk empire was founded by Tughril Beg (1016–63) in 1037. Tughril was raised by his grandfather, Seljuk-Beg, who was in a high position in the Oghuz Yabgu State.

Die Hunnen (Wobei man sich bei diesen nicht sicher ist), die Seldschuken, die Mongolen, die Timuriden und die Osmanen sind die wohl wichtigsten Vertreter, die die Geschichte von China bis Österreich entscheidend geprägt hatten. Die Seldschuken prägten die Geschichte Zentralasiens und erst recht Anatoliens. Mit ihrem Sieg bei Manzikert waren sie maßgeblich am Untergang des oströmischen Reiches beteiligt und entrissen diesem fast ganz Anatolien. Auf diesem ehemaligen römischen Gebiet wurde das Sultanat Rum (Arabisch=Rom) gegründet, welches den ersten Grundstein für eine Türkisierung Anatoliens legte. Das Sultanat Rum wurde...
The Seljuk dynasty represents one of the most intensively creative periods in the history of the Islamic world. Turkish painter Murat Erkan is inspired by its architecture, rugs, ceramics and tile work. He spent 10 years creating oil paintings with motifs from this era.
