@engilizia It's funny how Rome and Greece was the West... because philsophy? I mean they might as well have included Mesopotamian civiliziations, Ancient Israel and Egypt. And of course let's not ask what the Romans and Greeks thought of the barbarians in the North...

@AlleyDanesh @FloofKing @onegoodsam You should read about Roman architecture, particularly its Byzantine successor. This is where all the non-Islamic influence comes from. Domes and arabesque originate there. There was also no Persian architecture before Mesopotamians built the first pillars and domes.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@TheHazhir @FloofKing @onegoodsam There were no Persian architect in Islamic Iberia. Iberia and North Africa were Romanized and adopted arabesque style and domes (from the Byzantines). Cordoba was mightier than any Iranian city ever were at the time. No Persian influence or army was able to set foot west of Egypt

@engilizia @adjmacro @k1_mya It's funny how he has yet to show a single one. I've never seen dumber nationalists.

@sundghtr @forrestmari This guy doesn't show a single source of evidence. Iran had not a single structure cointaining a murqana as shown in the image before Islam. And that rendition is due to more recent restructuring during 16th to 18th centuries. In fact, even domes were Mesopotamian in origin.

@ashkan_ik @FloofKing @onegoodsam There's no evidence of any Persian artisan setting foot In Islamic ruled Iberia, which was a continent away from the Middle East and established by a runaway dynasty that East Iranians hated. The mosque shown had its muqarna built long before any of those modern additions in Iran

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Fair enough. Misunderstandings happen.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Read the tweet I first replied to. Then you will see the position I took in my first tweet in this whole thread.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld No offense, but is English a language you're fluent in? "He has green skin" does not indicate the existance of the god in question. It's like saying "Vishnu has multiple arms, he is not human" in reply to a tweet with a picture of Vishnu with multiple arms.

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld I never claimed the god of the underworld existed. Re-read the tweet and realize that the tweet was not made as a reply to you.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Some pharaohs were more worshiped than others so it's up to debate as to how much of divine they were. Either way, they are depicted to look 100% like human beings in murals. Whereas gods (Egyptian had a specific word for them) are not.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Hathor? She was not seen as human. She used to be worshiped as a horned cow. Later in history, artists gave her a human form and made her look like she was radiating sun light. Her gold skin tone is not just yellow, it's literally meant to look like the metal (gold).

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Osiris was not seen by Ancient Egyptians as a human being. Afterall, he was a god they never saw. Of course, the gods of Egypt did not exist. The pharaohs did. No real person has gold or green skin. Artists painted the pharaos as they were, and painted the gods as they imagined

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Which difference? Golden skin of Hathor? That's a divine feature unique to a goddess. The green skin of the god of the underworld? That's not a human feature either.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Ancient Egyptian called people "rmṯ", gods were called "nṯrw" (plural). They were not seen as the same thing. Gods were not depicted to be confused as humans.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@karmellle @ayaayaayahhh @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld That figure you showed had a golden skin tone. No Egyptian women was every depicted with the same skin tone that Hathor had, or else they'd also be called "Golden One".

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Anyone can say anything and when someone ask for source they can reply with "just google it". Lack of evidence is evidence of absense. I already explained the depictions shown in this twitter thread.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Two pictures, no sources, no detail as to which site in Egypt they're from or if they're redone based on papyrus found. If you're not going to respect yourself, at least respect others by taking the time to do proper research.

[Emiya @SwordsIntensify]

@ayaayaayahhh @karmellle @parragabry @YomnaHosny_ @BBCWorld Gold skin, green skin are quite unrealistic.
I'm not sure why you have such a hard time understanding this: There were no green people in Ancient Egypt and the skin tone of Egyptians in murals are the same as Egyptians of the past and today. Is that clear?
