      If he were a good genie I would give him his freedom from the lamp. If he’s wicked? Sorry dude, you have to stay in the lamp. Can’t have wicked genies roaming around causing havoc!

    Aladdin is fascinating to me, because you can clearly see that Hanna Diyab put his own twists and ideas into the story. But if you you have an eye for folktales, you can see that he was using another tale for the groundworks, called "The magic ring" or "The helpful/grateful animals". It is located at place 560 in the Aarne Thompson fairy tale index, and the oldest version I could find is from the oldest european folktale collection, Gianbattista Basile's "Tale of tales" or "Pentameron" (IV, 1 "The rooster's stone").

    Aladdin = Alaa al dean
    Which means praise the faith or religion.
    The Genie origin comes Djins from old desert folklores. Short version (mischievous desert demons). Solomon was able to communicate and command them. One of the Powerful Djins refused to obey Solomon. He cursed(bannish, punished) that Djin to be a slave to whoever holds the lamp.
    Before Solomon passed away. He locked all his artifacts away inside a tomb underground. So nobody can find them. He also put barriers that only good at heart person can enter.
    The rest were pretty similar as in the video. Magical ring Genie who was weaker than the one in the lamp. Wanting to marry the sultan’s daughter. These named places are up for debate so take them with a gain of salt. Sultan was from (Persia Shiraz county) Aladdin was Middle Easten origin. When castle were transported it went from Persia to Africa. (Morocco) . There was no Mention of the roc bird.

    I know another fact about Aladdin's story. Aladdin's original name was Ala-lad-din. Over time, the name was corrupted into Aladdin. Also, a Roc is an enormous legendary bird of prey in the popular mythology of the Middle East.

    China may have been the location due to the number of Arabs living there, along with Arab conquests of the Western part. There is a famous battle between the Abbasid Army and the Tang Army at the Talas River in the year 751. So cultural overlap certainly existed.

    Give credit for ONCE to the original Arab and muslim writers and translators of the 14th century manuscript Arabian nights: Muhsin Mahdi and Husain Haddawy for their Arabian stories (who were then taken by European writers and Disney lately).

    • @cramerfloro5936
      @cramerfloro5936 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's important also to recognize WHAT these people did, as their work is fundamental for modern philological and literary studies on the Thousand and one nights: Muhsin Mahdi was the first to reconstruct and publish the original text of the Thousand and One Nights, and Husain Haddawy was the first one to translate it since Galland and Mahdi. A new, poetic translation based on Mahdi's edition, that also contains Diyab's Orphan Tales recently came out, by British Syrian poet Yasmine Seale and scholar Paulo Lemos Horta.

      @@zalkona5051 Funny story to share. I have always loved fairy tales, legends, and ancient lore. So, since I was a child, I researched for the originals. A few decades ago I had bought The Brother's Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen's collections of tales (his own). But at that time, I had not bothered to sit down to read any of them. One night my sister's children were visiting my children. The oldest were only five. They were all prime to have their favorite Aunt read to them. Two sentences into the chosen tale, I had to do some quick editing. After another two sentences, I chose to read from the 'other' book. Same problem. So I closed the books and just told the kids one of MY made up stories. What I learned that night, and after further reading and studying, is that the original 'childrens' story is not always written for children. The first Disney television show aired in 1954 on the ABC network. I was about four years old then, and we were one of the few families in our neighborhood to own a television at that time. Also, we could not get ABC in our area. So, no Disney exposure for me or my fellow childhood friends. We did have Golden Books, (first published in 1942), although I do not recall reading fairytales from them. But we did have wonderful grandparents, parents, and aunts who read to us or shared stories they had collected. 'Many' of 'MY' generation learned a LOT before the advent of Disney, Golden Books, and even television. And those adventurous readers who searched for more books to read, found them in books from far away places.

    10 Of The World's Funniest One Liners!
    1. Few women admit their age; few men act it.
    2. If everything is coming your way, then you're in the wrong lane.
    3. Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?
    4. The Big Bang Theory: God Spoke and BANG! it happened.
    5. You can't have everything; where would you put it?
    6. Nobody's perfect. I'm a nobody.
    7. Nothing is fool proof to a sufficiently talented fool.
    8. Who is "General Failure" and why is he reading my hard disk?
    9. The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
    10. Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
    Editorial: Maybe the most thought-provoking one-liners is "Eat right. Stay fit. Die anyway." It's sad but true -- no matter what you do, you will die. This is because you have sinned against God. Let's see if that's true: Have you ever lied (even once)? Ever stolen (anything)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we've only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. How will you do on Judgment Day? Will you be innocent or guilty? You know that you will be guilty, and end up in Hell. That's not God's will. He provided a way for you to be forgiven. He sent His Son to take your punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death. God promises everlasting life to all those who confess and forsake their sins, and trust in Jesus Christ. Please do that today . . . you may not have tomorrow. See John 14:21 for a wonderful promise. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. God will never let you down.Visit needgod.com
