Hi, it has to do with forms of erasure and an willful need to undermine any form of eastern Otherness through selective historiography. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

You need to go back and reread your own passage, then, and learn about demographics and economics of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. London at the time was being enriched by the global system of trade in the Age of Sail. Cairo was still very important, but sidelined.

...and that's not even something that affected powers outside of Christendom or the West entirely. If you would take your ideological blinders off for a moment, you'd see that the same thing happened to other Christian powers, like the Venetian Republic, which also suffered.

Perhaps you should spend less time looking up neat gifs and more time learning about how the Columbian Exchange and Atlantic trade from the late 15th century onward eventually put the entire Eastern Mediterranean into an economic decline, and no, not just Ottoman lands.

"Mansplaining". Haha! There's no way you're an "early modern prof." Professors, at least ones I'm familiar with, don't act childish. In either case, while Istanbul was one of the largest cities in the year 1600, with a pop of ~700,000, London was 200,000, so not a backwater.

Ugh. Please don't show me Tucker Carlson's smug mug again. The guy is insufferable, as is your professor, who has resorted to using gifs instead of actually defending her argument about London like an adult. I shouldn't expect more of a Twitter conversation, I guess.
