كنت محظوظًا بما يكفي لقضاء بعض الوقت في خليج العقبة، أتأمل جبال الحجاز الرائعة وأشاهد القمر وهو يرتفع فوقها في المساء، حيث يكون أحيانًا بلون وردي أو برتقالي بسبب الغبار القادم من صحاري الجزيرة العربية. منظرٌ خلابٌ بحق، وأنا أيضًا، إن شاء الله، آمل أن أتمكن يومًا ما من السفر أعمق داخل هذه المنطقة.

hi sorry i haven't used crypto in a while i'm not sure

That’s fascinating! I hope to visit North Africa again someday, as I’ve only been to Egypt so far. I would love to experience Fez firsthand, especially to witness the pilgrimage to the tombs of the Sufi saints. Fez looks so vibrant and colorful; it would make an amazing subject for a video on Morocco. Recently, I’ve been studying how Sufism is practiced in different countries, and Morocco stands out as one of the most interesting examples.

v @@bath_neon_classical your welcome if you want to visit Morocco i will invit you

@@terzamuir that's very kind. if i have the money i was thinking about getting a boat to Spain next summer and driving to the south so that would be perfect.

thank you

thank you for your comment. i never thought about the effect of Islam on gothic architecture before but it seems there are a lot of connections. heres a list from chat GPT: The connection between Islam and Gothic architecture, though not immediately obvious, is surprisingly rich, woven together through exchanges of ideas, materials, and techniques across centuries of medieval interaction, especially around the Mediterranean. This link is primarily architectural and mathematical, as Gothic architecture borrowed heavily from Islamic architectural innovations in Spain, the Levant, and North Africa. Here’s how these connections manifest: 1. Structural Innovations and the Arch Pointed Arches: Gothic architecture is famed for its pointed arches, which allowed for taller, more slender structures and larger windows. These pointed arches had already been developed in the Islamic world centuries earlier, seen in mosques and palaces across North Africa and the Middle East. The Crusaders encountered this technique and admired its structural advantage, gradually adopting it in European cathedrals. Ribbed Vaulting: Ribbed vaulting in Gothic cathedrals allowed for greater heights and expansive ceilings, using a lighter framework to support heavy stone roofs. Though ribbed vaulting was an original innovation in Gothic architecture, Islamic architecture had long used similar methods in dome construction, particularly in places like the Great Mosque of Córdoba. 2. Ornamentation and Aesthetics Geometric Patterns and Arabesque Motifs: Islamic art is characterized by intricate geometric patterns and arabesques, which suited both decorative purposes and mathematical precision. Gothic architecture, while initially more figurative in its sculpture and decoration, increasingly incorporated geometric patterns, particularly in its tracery (ornamental stonework in windows). The resemblance is most noticeable in rose windows, whose radial symmetry and complexity echo Islamic tilework and lattice screens. Light and Stained Glass: Light is spiritually significant in both Islamic and Gothic architecture, where it represents divine presence. Islamic mosques, especially in Persia and Central Asia, used coloured glass and perforated stone screens to diffuse light in symbolic, mystical ways. Gothic cathedrals expanded on this by integrating stained glass, often in massive rose windows, to create a similar, almost ethereal play of colour and light within sacred spaces. 3. Mathematics and Proportion Geometry and the Golden Ratio: Both Islamic and Gothic architectures are grounded in mathematics, with a strong emphasis on symmetry and proportion. Islamic architecture, especially during the Abbasid and Moorish periods, made extensive use of geometry, often employing the golden ratio and complex algorithms to create harmonious designs. This mathematical approach influenced Gothic architects, who aimed for precision and balance, particularly in cathedrals like Chartres and Notre-Dame. 4. Cultural Exchange via the Crusades and Al-Andalus During the Crusades and through trade routes in Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain), artisans and architects encountered Islamic art, science, and architectural principles. Many of these innovations - from hydraulics to geometry - were subsequently studied and adapted in Europe. This cultural exchange fostered a new architectural language, combining the spatial grandeur of Islamic structures with the vertical, light-seeking ambition of Gothic design. 5. Mystical Symbolism and Spirituality In Islamic art, particularly Sufism, architectural motifs like domes, arches, and intricate patterns symbolize the infinite and reflect a path toward divine union. Gothic architecture, deeply influenced by Christian mysticism, sought to elevate the soul through towering spires and light-filled naves, aspiring to transport the mind upward toward heaven. Both architectures, in a way, pursue this vertical movement toward a higher plane, although they differ in theological expression. In essence, Gothic architecture can be seen as a complex, inspired evolution of Islamic innovations, blended with Christian symbolism. This architectural lineage reminds us of a time when cross-cultural exchange laid the foundation for some of the world’s most awe-inspiring structures. The resulting forms, patterns, and light-play of Gothic cathedrals stand testament to the depth and beauty of Islamic influence embedded in Western architecture.
