[historycisalpin]

Even Naples was partly affected by the expansionism of the medieval caliphates.

Cool.

The Emirate of Sicily was an emirate on the island of Sicily which existed from 831 to 1091. Its capital was Palermo. Muslim Moors, who first conquered in 652, seized control of the entire island from the Byzantine Empire in a prolonged series of conflicts from 827 to 902.

You can see it in the architecture.

what is "cool" about it? The Moorish invasion of Sicily created the BLACK HAND-----the origin of the
CULTURE OF THE MAFIA ----which still infects the world with EVIL Architecture? There is no "arab
architecture" There is Egyptian and Greek Architecture. The worst thing that happened to Italy was the Moorish invasion

There is Arab architecture. You can see the influence of Muslim Spain even today in the architecture of Spain and Portugal.

The Black Hand was founded in 1901.

"arab architecture" ? "muslim spain" ? The only
"arab aspect" of both the architecture and SPAIN is the fact that imperialist arab invaders, INVADED, ---raped, pillaged and murdered. Arab architecture is
in arabia-----(mostly Saudi Arabia-----TENTS) The "black hand" was a criminal organization that has its
roots in MOORISH invasion (read that rape, pillage and murder) of Sicily) and the resistance thereof. Suggesting that it is arab would be about the same as suggesting that British culture was invented by THE VIKINGS

Tents? What are you talking about? LOLOL.. You have never set foot in Arabia if you think they were all Bedouin. Those same Arabs were navigators for the Vikings..

LOL arabs from arabia were not "navigators" for the Vikings. The SEXTON was not invented in MECCA Invaders into Christian and Jewish
Baghdad-----CO-OPTED the genius of the Greeks (and also the Persians---read that ZOROASTRIANS) I should add that my very own husband was born in "arabia"----the land of the ILLITERATES

Has your husband never heard of the Kamal for determining latitude? It dates to the 9th century.. There are many common issues in navigating the desert and the ocean.. Remember the Arabs were merchant traders.. trading with Egypt Mesopotamia, the Levant, East Africa and the Indus Valley long before Islam.

Is your husband a Saudi or an expat?

LOL ninth century. Hubby is of a community that resided in arabia----as merchants and traders with Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Levant and the Indus valley for more than 2500 years. ---and---also ---LITERATE

So is your husband a Saudi or an expat? Everybody lives in "a community"

nope----not everyone

Sure they do .. Everybody lives in a community.. not everybody lives in a compound.

your statement is meaningless in reference to this discussion. You referred to "arabic" ----is that a
"community" ? The COMMUNITY of ancient arabs
developed the sexton and somehow guided the VIKINGS using it and also developed an "architecture"? and invented the culture of Sicily?

ok-----so? Japan was affected by the CULTURE OF THE USA -----and the history of Rome----and Greece and Egypt

 

[historycisalpin]

So? Northern Italy was influenced by both the ancient Ligurians and the Celts, Romans, Germans, Scandinavians and Spaniards, French. So?

 

[historycisalpin]

This is because southern Italy looks to the Middle East, while the north looks to the West. So?

The Kamal predates the sexton .. its an Astrolab.

Lots of ancient navigators for the Vikings in the 10th century thru the 15th century were Arabs.

10th century thru 15th century is "ANCIENT"? What calendar are you using? What are you calling "arabs"?-----any land INVADED by arab barbarians? ----kinda like called GAUL "ROMAN" ------in more modern time that would be something like calling
MYSORE ---"english"

It 's time for exaggeration apparently!

One could say, etiam tempore, the same of Italy
