Message: <blockquote data-quote="imagineGod" data-source="post: 8281670" data-attributes="member: 32454">Correction, the culture in Coriolis is inspired by The Golden Age of Islam and Persian Renaissance  which is intertwined with Arabian and Asian cultures but not exclusive.The Shiite Islam of Persia is NOT Arab and neither is the Sunni Islam of Turkey. The Golden Age of Islam was followed by the Timurid/Persian Empire Renaissance with roots in Mongol. The richness of the art also has influences from the Mughsl Empire of the Indian sub-continent, all united by the commonality of Islam, not Arabia, though the Mughals were not majority Muslim. This was then followed by the Ottoman Turks of ancient Anatolia, not Arabs.Obviously, in the far future the Islam of our world is not the faith in Coriolis, which uses the phrase Church of The Icons. However, you can see this cultural evolution and interplay in Turkey which was built upon the fallen Constantinople of the Eastern Roman Empire of Byzantium after it fell to the Islamic expansion that started out from Arabia but the moved east and north. The East began the new fulcrum, not Arabia.. After the fall of the Christian Empire, the Ottoman Turks who were conquerors were influenced by Byzantine culture much more than Arabian culture.This, the united cultural thread through all the above is Islam, not Arabia.Before making corrections, please understand Islamic culture better. It is more than one tribal group and was part of a world Renaissance before the European Renaissance.</blockquote>
