    Interesting that the segment on the Ottomans at various points shows without explanation depictions of men impaled on poles which was practiced by Vlad Țepeș, the Voivode of Wallachia, a Christian. Hardly surprising for a fluff piece designed to titillate audiences rather than to offer a balanced presentation of the good as well as the bad sides present in any empire.
