Istanbul is the pearl of the Black Sea. The five seas of the middle east.

 In the name of God who placed two iron walls between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea of The Middle East as a barrier from the north to the south, named The Caucasus Mountain Ranges.  Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia.

The Black Sea is one of the five seas of the Middle East.  The Middle East is the landmass east of the White Sea (Mediterranean) and ends where you arrive in Asia at the east and Russia at the north.  You can say that the Middle East is between Asia, Russia, and the White Sea.  Asia and Russia are The East. 

For thousands of years the city at the south west shore of the black sea was the most powerful city because it controls the economic connection between the Black Sea and the White Sea. The pearl of the Black Sea is the city named Istanbul.  Formerly known as Constantinople, the city of Istanbul has been the gateway for the economy of the Black Sea and the White Sea to merge and intertwine. 

The Black Sea has very fertile flatlands at the north shores.  The country of Ukraine occupies the beaches of  the north west.  A peninsula extends one-hundred kilometers from the center of the north shore into the Black Sea, named Crimea.  The north east shore is Russia. The north east of the black sea has a mountain range that extends from the coast of the Black Sea to the shores of the Caspian Sea, dividing the north of the black sea from the east of the black sea.   

The Caucasus mountain range rises ten thousand feet and more, like an iron wall, separating Russia from the east shore of the Black Sea.  At the east shore is the country named Georgia, which controls all of the east shore of the Black Sea because the east shore has mountains in the north and mountains in the south.  Georgia is the land between the mountain ranges of the upper and lower Caucasus. Georgia is the east shore of the black sea within a fortress of mountains.

At the south east of the black sea, the Lower Caucasus mountain range divides the east shore of the black sea from the south shores by extending three-hundred kilometers east and raising ten-thousand feet above sea level.  God has set two iron walls, an upper and a lower, to divide the shores of the black sea at the north and at the east.  The two mountain ranges each having peaks over ten-thousand feet, are the protection of the south shore of the Black Sea.  The mountains stop the north of the black sea from traveling via land to the south of the black sea.  The only way to travel is by sea. 

At the south shore of the Black Sea the country of Turkiye entirely occupies from the south of the east mountain range named lower Caucasus to the south of the east land bridge where the city of Istanbul oversees the crossing from the Black sea to the White Sea.  On the south shore of the black sea in Istanbul looking westward upon the west shore of the Black sea is the country of Bulgaria and further north on the west shore of the black sea is the Country of Romania who shares borders with Ukraine. 

Istanbul is a city that looks north and see the Black Sea, who looks south and sees the White Sea.  Istanbul is the gateway for economies of the north countries of the Black Sea to access all of the south of the planet through waterways.  Waterways are a powerful force of the economy of any land because it is the fastest and most economic mode of transporting economic assets.
