The citizens were asked who they would like to meet in history: The first row is Atatürk and Fatih Sultan Mehmet.

We asked the citizens on the streets of Bursa, "Who would you like to meet in history?" The majority of participants highlighted Atatürk and Fatih Sultan Mehmet, expressing their desire to meet these important leaders. One person said, "Of course, Atatürk, I am very curious about what he would say, he has worked hard for our country," while another said, "I would like to meet Fatih Sultan Mehmet because he is my ancestor," emphasizing the impact left by our historical heroes.

FATIH SULTAN MEHMET AND ATATÜRK AT THE TOP

Interestingly, some individuals showed interest in lesser-known leaders as well. One participant chose Hammurabi from the Ancient Period and used the expression, "I would like to meet the man who established the first laws." Another opinion was, "I would like to meet Metehan, whom I consider one of the greatest leaders in history." The selection of leaders from different periods highlights the public's interest in and diversity of history.

PROPHETS AND CONTEMPORARY FIGURES

There were also those who desired to meet the prophets. One person chose to meet the Prophet Muhammad, saying, "I would like to meet our Prophet, to be by his side during the spread of Islam, and to hear the revelations from him," thus preferring a religious figure. Another citizen, referring to the modern era, said, "I would like to meet Fatih Terim," imagining a meeting with a figure from the world of sports.
