History provides crucial evidence for communities to inform about their past, and also to guide their future. People who came to Anatolian lands from different geographies provided important resources to the history. Undoubtedly, the people of Çatalhöyük in Anatolia during the Neolithic Age were not aware that they would inspire people who would come after them. During the Neolithic Age, Turkish myths’ formation in Central Asia and the Ottoman Empire, the notion of the connection between living things in nature and sacred beings in the sky are connected to the lives of people was one of the factors that played a decisive role in history. People wanted to behave like birds, wild animals such as leopards, or Angels. One of the concrete examples is Deli cavalry, a military structure of the Ottoman Empire Army. Deli cavalry influenced the European states with their unusual images and fearlessly tactics against the enemy. One of the European States, Poland, was aware of the power of the Ottoman Empire Armies. In the fifteenth century, Polish soldiers called Hussars started to get dressed and fight just like Deli cavalry. Hussars would affect the military structures of Europe in the future. In this study, the clothing of Deli cavalry and Hussars were examined in the light of historical information, artists’ works and photographs. It has been concluded that the clothing and military equipment of Deli cavalry and the Polish Hussars showed similarities.
