Best Answer

Constantinople wasn't really discovered. It existed for centuries as the city of Byzantium, its name was changed to Constantinople by the Constantine when he moved the capital of the Roman Empire to there. It was renamed Istanbul officially in 1930 during Turkish postal reform laws, but had been called Istanbul for centuries by Turkish speaking people before that.
