I know this article probably faithfully represents local mythology, it is a badly flawed myth ... either it is just that way, or someone needs to check what they've written and align it properly with some sort of historical reference.

Assuming that J.C existed (before anyone picks my grammar apart!);

There is no record in the new testament stating he was born in a stable, that's a misinterpretation, and as far as I know a fairly recent one, based on references to animals and mangers being inside a house.
The house in question is in Bethlehem according to two gospels and a prophecy.
Although the place of birth is disputed (and, I think, it is generally thought the original, unadulterated gospels had him being born in Nazareth) the passages about Mary and Joseph staying in a house/stable relate to a supposed trip to Bethlehem.
Bethlehem is a long way from Nazareth
So they were either at home in Nazareth, or staying over in a place in Bethlehem that has since been mistakenly described as a stable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.152.192 (talk) 16:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Either the story should say Bethlehem, or the stone is some sort of crib from a house in Nazareth, or the myth itself is based on an alternative historical version (I was going to say inaccurate, but given we've already got two contradictory and both disputed accounts of possible event it's all a bit of a matter of opinion anyway!)

Dolmabahçe Palace

"With the Ottoman dynasty's settlement in Dolmabahçe in the 17th century". But this palace was built 200 years later in the middle of the 19th century. Hunu (talk) 17:43, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of references

Most of the information in the history section is unreferenced. Where did all this info come from? Patryckstar (talk) 14:34, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
