@@wesamalkenai from 2500 years ago، In old maps, written the Persian Gulf. When Iran had the Parthian and Achaemenid civilizations. (over 3000 years ago). Otherwise, the Arab civilization of Saudi Arabia and the small Gulf states Arabian countries are all after Islam.(just 1400years,nothing more) (Aside from all those small Arab states in the Persian Gulf once belonged to Iran and from Iranian soil) if you want any old map to prove it, just a little search it in Google. Good luck. ❤️

I am curious as to why you want to see other cultures as basically the same as one another. That just sounds like a boring mindset to me. So much less to discover.

@@suckmyartauds sorry for being reductionist but it actually expands my musical diversity if i discard huge chunks of 'same' music and search for something really different. example: almost all music from countries surrounding the Mediterranean sound so alike that just one song in my collection is enough to fully represent the entire area. and that is just a very slight tweak from arabian music, 2 tweaks away from indian music. in my opinion it is these cultures that lack imagination and progress in musical styles, as with many other aspects of life, technology, and social structure. music really is a window to the soul, and a sad indictment to mediocre ethnicity.

@@ergodana3433 not only are you objectively wrong about music, but you're also an ignorant moron. no one from europe can talk about superiority in imagination when they played the same soulless classical music for centuries only for that same music to be replaced by blues-based genres like pop, hip-hop, soul, jazz and rnb. all of which were invented by african-americans. no one lacks imagination more than eastern europeans. just look at anything that was ever designed by slavs.
