ottoman cultural influence in europe is unprecedented too
in 1651 la varenne publishes his book telling the french to stop putting sugar on meat and start making cakes for the end of the meal
by then ottoman sultans had been finishing their banquets with perfectly layered syrupy baklava for almost two centuries
and right as france discovers modern cuisine it also discovers coffee, made fashionable in paris by the ottoman envoy soliman aga in 1669
then the french copied the kahvehane of istanbul and turned them into the cafes
so today almost every "european lifestyle" brag and "the american mind cannot comprehend this" post has a piece of ottoman culture in it
If the Ottomans were in China they'd probably survive until the day of judgment - but defeating over a 100 states just in Europe and surviving every empire in Asia and Africa from medieval warfare to modernity then falling after 623 long years is unprecedented in human history.
