Corn Bazaar

[edit]

I removed the section that claimed in the Byzantion period the place was the center for corn trade. This is not true. Corn was only introduced to Europe from the Americas. So there was no corn trade at the Byzantion times. In Englsih "corn" also means cereals, but in Turkish it only means misir. I guess someone extrapolated the English meaning to Turkish, and created some sort of folk etymology.
