OMG this is so beautiful >>MUST SEE Persian Art..so dreamy

LOL
dont compare the Arabic arts with the persians man
the Persians or (islamics) constructed the Taj Mahal so don't go there

look at all the palaces in Iran like the "chehel sotoon" for instance
its freaking mind blowing

Beautiful, real Art makes you Cry!

See
This is why i love GLP. Iran is sooooo misrepresented and I'm learning so much about Iran or any other culture more on this site than what i get from my t.v

5* OP

Please if anyone is a member and has karma's to spare, please pin this so every American out there can see this thread
i would've if i had karma :(

thats so dumb bra..how can you speak of arabic and persian culture in the same breath?
they're very different n only just share the same religion (not entirely cuz there are like shias and sunnis )

we get it you hate muslims, now move on
but be smarter next time you post

okay i cried too

Dude, you're so off man.
Some of the architectural work in Iran is beautiful.
But here I was referring to the standard interiors of mosques the world over. Its all the same.

And oops, you really don't know your facts about the "Taj Mahal".
First the Persians didn't construct it.
Second its real name is "TEJO MAHALAYA" meaning the great palace of Tejo. Tejo is another name of SHIVA.

Tejo Mahal was built by the Jaipuri Maharajahs.
Infact if you care to goto Rajasthan, you will see that all the Hindu palaces in Rajasthan resemble or have similariities to the Tejo Mahalaya.
Tejo Mahalaya , or the portion you call the Taj today was a Shiva temple.
Even today villagers from Rajashtan have an ancient tradition of going to the Tejo Mahalaya to offer Shiv poojas.

Shah Jehan, and his Mughal forefathers were raiders, they didnt have the breeding nor education to build something like the Tejo Mahalaya. The Mughals were the kind of peole who murdered thier own fathers.
No way they could built it.

Go ahead google it and study.
I hate it when Muslims cream themselves about the Tejo Mahalay calling it Islamic art . It isnt'
Granted Rajasthani art was influeced from Constantinople and Turkey for the most extent.

Look at some of the striking similarities of this, the Amber Palace , of a HINDU maharajha, to the 'TAJ MAHAL'.

[link to www.google.co.in]

quote:
Raja Man Singh built Amer Palace in the 16 century. It is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Rajputs made use of the Amber Fort in the 16th century until the founding of Jaipur in 1727 both for defense and for residential purposes. Thus, in its mighty walls, there are beautiful gardens and magnificent palaces made of marble and precious stones, richly decorated with paintings and complex masonry, representing the royal splendor and luxury.

Situated in Jaipur, Amber Fort reflection in the lake below seems almost divine. It is not surprising that this very majestic and impressive was the capital of Minas. Amer Fort houses Jai Mandir, Sheesh Mahal a famous temple has a beautiful hall of mirrors that are so artistically together that even a small ray of light is reflected in the mirrors and dazzling lights up the room. Sheesh Mahal is known worldwide as one of the most desirable attractions. Other attractions of this fort is Sukh Niwas and Ganesh Pole.

it is actually incredibly detailed sacred geometry.

no he meant that the engineers were persian sir. we all know that the Taj Mahal is Indian, but actually is a prominent iranian architectural work and was constructed by the persian engineers and architects
thats a fact
its up to you ..you'll only be an ignorant if you disagree

what do you mean about everything being repetitive? do you mean that the art is in a synchronies order. or do you mean that mosques in iran look the same? well, each one had its own unique style thats for sure
their just mosques

Im speaking only of Mosque interiors.
Persian architecture is beautiful I agree.

But mosque interiors are mostly the same.
Reptetive designs, hypnotic, reptillian.

Makes you want to puke.

each mosque from different province have their own unique style like persian rugs
mosques in Isfahan share the same interior design, but they differ with the mosques in Shiraz for example

maybe you;ve seen the same mosques from one province when you visited

It is a Mosque, correct? What does time frame have to do with anything? A building that took a lot of resources and man power to create all in the name of a brainwashing religion.

who cares , just enjoy the art. how expensive you think that is to cost them placing shattered mirrors on to the walls?

much thanks for the pin

mucho gracias

So...

let me get this straight...

you are saying that "Heaven" will look like the inside of a mosque? And, the Christians are down with that?

you should hurry before the yanks and the israelis flatten it...

Actually, did you ever see Passage to India? It kind of portrays how the pagan architecture and art take the mind to places that are strange and dangerous.

Also, the poster was in the Middle East for a year. Were you? Someone with an opinion who is speaking from experience is worth twice as much as someone with an opinion who is not. Regardless of whether you agree. They never said they hated anyone.

I've been immersed in Hindu art and frankly I find it disturbing and grotesque.

well aren't you the smart one
its a figure of speech

there won't be any war
relax

I'm with the indian guy..

Beautiful! 5*

Too much artistic 'clutter' and a mindfuck to look at. Japanese homes are more subtle.

it looks like a dmt experience

Made to look like an OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE.
HINT HINT.

Can I get a link to YouTube?
