Goofs: Anachronisms: When checking Lukan’s tent, Kazanzaki tells that the experts had verified a Turkish document granting Lukan all authority he needs: the signature and the seal are authentic. First of all, such kind of experts didn’t exist back then. Secondly, seals weren’t used by the Turkish back then neither.
