How could a market in Egypt be responsible for the founding of the United States? Khan el-Khalili, once known as the Turkish bazaar during the Ottoman period was built in 1382 by the Emir Djaharks el-Khalili in the heart of the Fatimid City. Perhaps this very market was involved in the spice monopoly controlled by the Mamluks, which encouraged the Europeans to search for new routes to the east and led Columbus, indirectly, to discover the Americas, who knows?
