thanks for answering my questions, apologies i didn't make my last question clear 😅 i meant the difference between western islamic historians (Maghrebi/andalusi historians) vs middle eastern historians (mashriqi masri historians) but this was much better tbh and you are right, it is very interesting how pre colonial historians viewed history compared to after colonialism, specially with how for example the sons of Al'adil alayubi were seen as great kings in their time, while in post colonial historians usually see them negatively. thank you once again, and happy new year, i hope you continue making great videos
👍 Happy New year to you too! And I will continue to make videos! of that you can be sure Regarding the difference between eastern and western Arabic writing historians, I think the main difference is that many of the trends I describe in the video are somewhat extended for example, historical writing with analytical components do continue into the 18th century rather then ending in the 16th and you do get kind of less extreme tendencies afterwards caused by colonialism too, at least this is something I think I have noticed in my opinion (this is though something I am not 100% sure about though as I have not read as much from the western historians as from the eastern ones. And, this is weird considering the brutality of French colonialism, but this might be connected to less of a gap to previous traditions of writing history? and more of a slower mixing and maybe due to other local conflicts between various groups taking prominence?) As for Al'adil al-ayubi's sons, I would also kind of see them less as bad or great and more like rather unremarkable kings that did not really change the core issues of the Ayyubid dynasty (a dynasty that I generally also view as being rather politically unstable through its history) such as the constant fiscal deficits and over extension of borders in comparison to the necessary military & political support and then the later infighting between various branches of the dynasty and then later infighting between factions of the military. Their issues with the Crusaders and such are more of a side piece of a mosaic of far greater issues to which they simply were not up to the task.
@theculturedjinni yeah that's true, i think it's because many historians of pre colonial era taught during colonial era and raised a new generation of post colonial historians who were more connected to the past (for example ibn zaidan in Morocco) but what i originally noticed is for example western historians usually focused a lot less on institutions when talking about nations, and somewhat limited their studies to events and personalities, when in comparison eastern historians had many who focused on institutions (like how alqalqashandi wrote about mamlukian institutions, and how his student, ibn tigri birdi usually focused on the effects of policies on these institutions in his analysis, same with Ibn ilyas. i was wondering if this is just a coincidence or something that is noticeable
@thedeadwarrior1828 I honestly cannot tell if this is a coincidence or not, but if it is the case that there is a noticeable trend towards a focus on institutions in the east then that might be a result of the more institution based history of major institutions being built up (and replaced with the rise of the Mamluks and then the Ottomans) that occur in the east, wheres the west traditionally had many more minor more localized ones that might locally be important but did not become the sort of major power players that dominated entire regions in the same way nor did they get replaced in one fell swoop like often was the case in the east. Though this view I have here might also just be a result of the more institution focused view on history that was the case in the east.
1:23:16 after thinking, I wanna know why you dislike him so much looking into other philosophers in your list. I’m kind of confused and making a video your top 10 hated philosophers would be very interesting
It is complicated and would require a very long essay style explanation as to why I am not a fan, but let's just say that I have major issues with his philosophy and the impact it had later.
1:40:15 yes we need this video and 1:40:21 we need to I recommend you to give different example examples in different medias what I mean some TV shows others in video game and anime and manga and book and because writing for different type of media is very challenging example like video games have choices, environments, and other stuff
1:40:00 first I’m exciting for the videos and second would be interesting if you make a video how a certain magical index light novels/anime, use religion and mythology and ideas of magic of the 19 and 20 century for world building and characters and themes and another idea is to do a video about the history in the the dark souls, blood-borne, and the others I recommend you to watch tarnished archaeologist channel will be great if you could do different types of video than him. His channel is great, but I wanna see how you do it. and will be cool if you make a video about a fate and if you wanna make a video about a certain magical index please read the light novels. They are much better. and maybe if you like it, you could read the sequels.
Dark Souls is one of the series I plan to make a video about sometime in the future (where I connect it both to the original God of War trilogy and where I will describe the shared mythological background that they rest upon). The fate series I also have some ideas about too. Regarding magical index, I need to first to see it in order to see if I make some sort of analysis of it .
1:37:21 i’m kind of confused I heard he was not a descendent. The reason why he cannot take the titleof Mongol ruler and you need to make a video about him he’s very interesting person
He claimed common descent with the Genghis though some claim that he rather shared a common ancestor with Genghis wheres other sources claim that he was a descendant. And I very much plan to make a video about Tamerlane due to his historic importance.
Thank you very much for the Himyarite kingdom video
Bro 😮😊
Don't worry
Take your time my dear 😘

Thank you for a great year of videos, Happy New Year and all the best in 2025! Xo
👍 Happy New year to you too!
Hey thanks for answering my silly question!
👍, I did not think it was that silly and it was fun answering it.
1:41:57 first you need to do it will help a lot of people
I will consider it!

Those are some things I can take into consideration if I make videos about this.
1:40:00 first I’m exciting for the videos and second would be interesting if you make a video how a certain magical index light novels/anime, use religion and mythology and ideas of magic of the 19 and 20 century for world building and characters and themes and another idea is to do a video about the history in the the dark souls, blood-borne, and the others I recommend you to watch tarnished archaeologist channel will be great if you could do different types of video than him.

Hello cultured jinni do you know that guy who is with you in jinn and tonic show with that Ali profile what is the name of his channel.
I think it is stop spamming you are referring to, as he usually had that profile.
could you do a video about Dark Side History of Qatar
👍 I might do that.
