Straddling Europe and Asia, and facing Africa, the city has exerted its influence across three continents throughout its history. First called Byzantium by the Greeks, then Constantinople before becoming Istanbul, it still bears the traces of a past of immense cultural and historical richness. For centuries, Istanbul was an essential crossroads between Europe and Asia. Pilgrims, merchants, soldiers, and travelers crossed paths there, while spices, silk, precious metals, and furs passed through this strategic city. Fred, Jamy, and Sabine take us on a journey to discover this cosmopolitan city, a crossroads of East and West, a place that has been both Christian and Muslim at different times. "It's Not Rocket Science," the science and discovery magazine presented by Fred, Jamy, and Sabine. Aboard their mobile laboratory, the three presenters take us to unusual and spectacular sites to explain the world around us.
