Arabs after death of Muhammad. True old-school Islam. Umayyad Caliphate. Khirbat al-Majfar castle. Muslim girls Muslim guys Khaliph castle Qusayr ‘Amra As we can see here Arabic culture don't change so much after appearance of Islam. This is explain why original Islam spreaded so fast and many people prefer Islam ( liberal, sexy, oriented to human nature progressive religion) and rulership of Arabs instead of tyrannical Byzantine rulership.

continue of pre-Islamic Arabia. Moar here

Kingdom of Saba (9th century BCE – 275 CE) Matriarchy, women played important role here(Queen of Sheba, lots of priestesses and goddesses). Symbols of Islam much more ancient than Islam. Though this is not surprising, even main muslim shrine IRL is ancient temple of Arabic goddess, where muslims secretly worship erm... something.

Let's talk about how some creators use such Cultural stuff for inspiration. It's mostly old-school examples. J.R.R. Tolkien use Central Asian, Persian and Russian\Slavic heritage ( for example legends about Turanian 7-walled great capital Kangha, names and other cultural things ) for Gondor. Robert E. Howard use Heritage of Sassanid Empire, Black sea and North Caucasian regions for Conan. H. P. Lovecraft use Phoenician, Arabic, Russian and Tibetan cultural heritage in his works... etc Though in present time creators mostly avoid do this, society just don't like any thing what can ruin their believe in "Western way of life" or "Western exceptionalness" and "European superiority". In result today we have strange situation when people's dreams are much poorer and much primitive than rich cultural heritage of Humanity in real world. On periphery of Western world situation with culture is better and here we has this: http://www.bedetheque.com/serie-5910-BD-Empereur-Ocean.html http://www.bedetheque.com/serie-12227-BD-Danse-du-temps.html instead of this ( Westlings instead of Persians, western consumers do want see yourself everywhere, its some sort of cultural narcissisms). From Internets. It's to long to explain and this information so helpless for anyone who cant into Russian language anyway (Russian scientists traditionally don't translate own works to other languages and this knowledge actually don't needed for globalized and standardized western world, where all cultures must die and be replaced by anti-culture of average consumers from Marketeers dreams, no reasons for translations exists).

Ukrwanda. Is Hohlutu land. No Rutsi! Message to the Western artists. Portraying of modern Russia ( Putin for example ) with Soviet symbols is same way as portray of G. Washington as British patriot (and this pic show how this is stupid looks like).

Though Mongols are most true "nomads" ever (they has best mobility in the world and they can produce all goods what they needed in fields, cities not necessary for them), they build cities and other structures too. XIII-XIV century Capital of Mongolian Empire. Meanwhile biggest European city from same time looks much smaller than city of "nomadic" Mongols. Mongolian Empire build network of roads with Caravanserais also. This play extreme role in progress of backward Europe, and explain why Europeans became of best allies of Mongol Empire and their descendants (as Golden Horde is). XIV-XV centuries - dark ages of Mongolia because of unsucessful wars against China. Everything has been destroyed. Plan of small Mongolian settlement Evolution of Yurt Types of mobile Mongolian houses XVI-XVII centuries - Mongolian Renaissance. XVIII-XX centuries Post-Renaissance.

Our real knowledge about past of humanity is very small. Trusted sources begin only from The Renaissance time. Even in this case we can say something about some culture only if this culture not die completely during conquests and disasters. Winner's often totally destroy all evidences of defeated people and obviously don't say truth about own enemy in chronicles, white spots in history Africa and America before European conquest prove it. Another example is Roman Empire. On huge territory of Empire archaeologist find only around 300 Roman helmets. 300 artefacts covering around 1000 years of Roman existence in whole mediterranean region. In other words we IRL known nothing about them, waves of invasions erase all evidences of their presence, all what we have is pathetic small fragments of Roman material culture and huge amount of Eurocentric fantasy cool stories from XV-XIX centuries. Just throw away all your books about Romans, 99% of their content is lie. Same story (even worse) about Khazar khaganate. All what we known - they have mixed populace (Turkic, Slavs, Alans, other North Caucasians, Bulgars), they're stop expansion of Islam to the North, as all Turkic people they use fortresses for expansion, They control part of Silk Road, they probably are founders of Kiev and Rus statehood (Kievan Rus probably is just their rebelled province), Caucasian national costumes are descendants of Khazarian costumes, the first used early sabres in Europe. It's all, Kievan Rus conquer them, destroy their cities, massacre populace, after this serial waves of Cumans, Mongols and other invaders erase almost all evidences of Khazarian existence. Reconstructions of their fortresses. Their costumes women men warriors Tombstones plumbing Coin Early sabre (replica)

I consider people staying close than 5 meters to me as harassment (if some unknown people try talk to me something i just become outraged). Because of this i don't like Western countries and live in Russia instead, we just have different concept of personal space. Though it's a funny to watch, how foreighners make unsucessful attempts to meet with Russian tourist girls at street's.

What point? On video foreighners act's as foreighners, i'm don't notice nothing unusual.
