That's why byzentine architecture is so different from the classical era Roman architecture and arts.

I said something similar some days ago but I was superficial. It was not so much the influence of the church but the fact that the West was much densely populated, not affected by invasions and these offered a better environment for development, advance of science, circulation of ideas.

In middle age, Scandinavian or Baltic countries were as backwarded, if not more than Orthodox countries and this backwardess lasted up to the industrial revolution. That happened because of their geographical isolation and late Christianization.


So you have to analyse the phenomenon of the rise of Western civilisation in a more complex approach.

Forexample most westerners think that medieval and early modern era russian churches look like mosque.

Just compare the medieval Orthodox Russians or balkan slavs with Hungarian culture.... Enormous differences.

2. What is the "Eurasian culture"?

Eurasian civilization began with the migration of proto-Indo-Europeans from the Russian steppes into the Altai, and then to the Tarim Basin, where an advanced civilization flourished in the oasis towns around the edges of the desert. From this civilization, China acquired bronze-making, wheeled vehicles, and later, Buddhism. It was the Huns, who at that time were nomadic barbarians, who chased these people out, from where they moved into Afghanistan and northwest India. A group that didn't move west was absorbed by nomadic Tibetan tribes, from whose ranks came the later kings of Tibet.

The OP is working hard to repackage history, because he can't handle the truth, lol.

There are no relation and connection between Hungarians and Huns. You can't prove your fairly tales with a single modern source of academic historian (university press books)

Use google books for searching.
