@cira.history: The Basilica Cannon, a massive superweapon, helped bring down the walls of Constantinople in 1453, thereby ending the Byzantine Empire and ushering in centuries of Turkish rule. Music: Holy Land by JayArk #fallofconstantinople #ottomanempire #history
the Byzantines didn't refuse him they were broke because the western Roman empire in particular Venetian treachery had sacked the capital during the 4th crusade. Christians against Christians.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 History shouldn't be diverted, the super canon wasn't built by the said Hungarian engineer but it was built by the Turkish themselves as they wouldn't have become a superpower of the time if they weren't able to build weapons themselves.

The main cannon can be detached into several parts or 'lenght' inorder for easy transportation and reassemble at the conflict area.

Another version of the story says that Orban was in jail in Constantinople and the Sultan freed him and the cannon exploded and failed to damage the walls.

the Basilica cannon failed after six weeks (2 weeks before the fall of Constantinopel) due to fissures in the bronze barrel. The cannon cracked while being fired, splitting into many pieces.
