The Nestorian cross — with four arms, all of relatively equal length, wider at their ends than in the middle — was found all over Asia during the early middle ages, when Christianity thrived there. Here’s one from Turkmenistan:

And from Iraq:

Watching Bucchigiri?! and seeing all the genuinely well implemented references to Arabic art folklore: 🥰🥰😍😘💙❤️🩷

Watching American YouTubers react to it all calling it "Indian" and not even doing that respectfully: 💀💀💀💀💀

#bucchigiri #seriously even if the plot doesn't seem too interesting rn i just LOVE the style #the main character s name is a hidden “Aladdin”#there is actually well written arabic #they even somehow correctly accounted for the difference in writing between modern and medieval #but i see YouTubers reaction saying it's set in some kind of Indian-china fusion #just because the main character lives with his mom in a Chinese restaurant #or another saying “oh yea it's from u know-*does the cliche hand above head Bollywood dance move*”#also the ending has the female character in actually accurate arab clothes that are nit just a sexualised belly dancer outfit #even though i don't like her character #but god dammit this was done with love for arab culture

Happy to be able to share new artwork for Epochs: Course of Cultures! This is the city of Chang'an the capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the herald of the Emperor speaks to the citizens of the city.

I think this is the first time I painted a cityscape in such a composition, a big step out of the comfortzone.

Hope you like it!

Best,

JCH

Tang dynasty period drama (Luoyang 风起洛阳) 2021

Vast majority of the C-drama costumes are restored based on real Tang dynasty paintings from the Mogao Caves. These are some examples.

original here

part 2 of "y'all please THEY WERE CHILDREN-"

can we also point out that China was like. Probably basically already full grown? Like I haven't fact-checked this but like....China is canonically 4000. He was around to see the Ancients. He has seen Things. There is not Ancient China, he IS Ancient China as far as we know.

China would have had to watch his friends kick the bucket and then watch the next generation pop up.

and if i'm not mistaken, China the country took a (sort of) break from the world around the time half of the world would have been kids minus maybe the silk road bit. I'm blanking on dates, but I dimly remember something about Chinese trade ships wandering around for a few years in I think the 1300s, and then they went back to doing their own thing away from everyone else for a while and just left the Silk Road because Europeans liked that stuff.

but like

in the Hetaverse, can we please consider the idea that China emerged to do some trading, saw all the children, and went "hell no" and just turneed around and went home? Like he's already got Japan, and then he looks over and Germania, Rome, Egypt, omfg please calm down with the kids but especially you Germania- and then suddenly they're gone and Europe is just one big kindergarden and like. China, this at-least-a-teenager-probably-older guy, is just like

"no."

"hell no. I am NOT a babysitter."

"i am NOT dealing with this on top of the Mongols."

you're welcome.

#hetalia #hetalia headcanons #hetalia hcs #hws China #europe in the medieval era was literally just one big kindergarden you can't convince me otherwise

What were the rituals and practices of the medieval Asian Christian? What did their worshippers look like? We don’t have many clues, but there are a few works of art that remain. In Qocho, a town that is today located in Chinese Xinjiang but, in the early Middle Ages, was part of a separate kingdom to the west of the Tang Dynasty, there are a few cave paintings of Christian practice. Here, Buddhism, Christianity, and Manichaeism all mingled and were memorialized. These murals, now in a German museum, were once on the walls of the Christian church.

We see a woman praying, perhaps repenting for her sins:

And a rite — perhaps a Palm Sunday ritual — in which worshippers bring branches to a priest:

10/10 I'd sleep with all of your CK3 rulers. ALL of them.

so would Herakles, anon... so would Herakles... thank you though, it takes a surprising amount of work!

speaking of Herakles and wanting to fuck everyone, have a silk road pair being unapologetically gay.

Herakles is trying to flirt but Yao is really enraptured by.... something.
