A Great City
A fit with Babylon the Great. Constantinople is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. This is a mystery and likely to remain so. It had seven mountains, many waters, and many merchants. Constantinople is the only city with all these characteristics. Why it is being ignored is definitely a mystery.

A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. It has many waters, seven hills, and world trade. It is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all.

A Great City
A mystery and likely to remain so. Chapter 17 has it all. Seven heads and ten horns. Seven mountains. A beast that was, is not, and yet to come. Five fallen kings. In chapter 18, this great city has merchants, has fallen twice, and can be found no more at all. Constantinople has it all. No other city comes close.
A Connection With Daniel
A different beast in common with John. The “ten horns” ties it all together. They “shall hate the whore” and John provides enough clues to identify Babylon the Great. Islam can identify ten dynasties. Constantinople was attacked by the second one in 666 and fell to the tenth one in 1453.
A Dynasty
A whore will hate. Babylon the Great fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam. Who can count dynasties? Islam can. Constantinople started with the fifth dynasty of the Roman Empire. Just look at the numbers. The “ten horns” connect John with Daniel. Daniel knows beasts and John knows Daniel and numbers.
A Great City
A mystery and likely to remain so. Constantinople can be found no more at all and the merchants of the earth shall weep over the city with many waters and seven hills. Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen. 1204 and 1453. No other city has all these characteristics. Babylon the Great is Constantinople.

A Mystery And Likely To Remain So
A perfect fit in history. Constantinople. No other city has all these characteristics: many waters 17:1, mystery 17:5, seven hills 17:9, merchants 18:11, is fallen, is fallen 18:2, and can be found no more at all 18:21. Constantinople was the capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years.
A Caliph
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. A little horn reinforces the belief that horns are dynasties.

A Whore
A hatred thereof. The Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty of Islam, ended the Byzantine Empire by attacking Constantinople where they reigned with Christ a thousand years. It started with the fifth of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Check the numbers: a thousand, 666, ten, seven, and five. Numbers can verify your interpretation.
