The '''Golden Horn''' (Ottoman Turkish: '''Haliç''') is a horn-shaped inlet on the European side of [[Constantinople]] that is fed by two small streams. It is a natural harbor where both Byzantine and [[Ottoman Empire]] fleets and commercial ships were anchored.

The Golden Horn was an old trading harbor and a popular residential area during the Byzantine period. Its entrance was blocked by a huge chain to stop unwanted ships from entering.

In 1502, [[Leonardo da Vinci]] projected a bridge to be built over the Golden Horn for the Ottoman Sultan. It was intended to be a single span of 240 meters (787 feet), 8 meters (26 feet) wide, and 24 meters (78 feet) high from the water, but it was never built, as the Sultan didn't believe a bridge could cross such a distance without breaking.

Really? I've still got it loaded in a tab.
It's the full cinematic trailer. Might as well tell you what's in it.
*SPOILER*

The first scene shows Ezio being picked up from the ground by templar guards and being taken somewhere in Masyaf. The video fades to show how Ezio got there - travelling via a ship with Constantinople in the distance; crossing a mountain range; going past some ruins (Palmyra?) and overlooking Masyaf from a cliff. As he approaches, he gets shot with an arrow and lots of templar guards show up to what appears to be an ambush. Epic fight ensues, but all of a sudden Ezio sees Altair in the crowd of templars, loses concentration and lets his blade get broken. He is caught soon after. The action jumps back to the present where he is confronted by a templar leader atop the tower of Masyaf, where they proceed to hang him. As he walks along the leap of faith platform he sees another vision of Altair walking on the one next to him. As the leader tightens the rope around Ezio's head, Ezio quickly strikes and the ACR logo flies in.
At the end you see the box art (pretty much the Gameinformer cover), and the exclusive content for the special edition - Turkish Assassin Armour and 2 multiplayer characters; The Crusader and the Ottoman Doctor.

There are barely any sound effects throughout the whole video - just a rather suitable "epic" song.
