Tongwancheng, The Ancient Capital Of The Huns

[Onur]

When the Moghuls settled in India, many fo their buildings were built in a manner to resemble a nomadic tent. Old habits die hard.

Yes thats true and here is another example of that but this is from today`s Ravenna, Italy.

The Mausoleum of Theodoric the Great. He ordered the construction of his own mausoleum while he was still alive and it resembles a yurt, mimicking his early life from pannonian plains. He was the king of eastern Goths who were allies of Attila`s Huns but later separated from them after Attila died and then they invaded Italy afterwards.




The main upper floor is definitely a yurt, nomad tent like this one;

Then the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella in Rome should be a yurt too:




and the mausoleum of Hadrian an uberyurt




This moron called Onur is incapable of writing something about European history without vilifying in a way or the other the ancient Romans or at least downplaying their history

Every scholar of history of Italian art (and, like it or not, the mausoleum of Theoderic in Ravenna belongs to history of Italian art) knows that the mausoleum of Theoderic was inspired by Roman models. He had not even to go abroad to take inspiration from but he could admire them into his own kingdom, Italy. You turkey

You have no clue about this issue.

He was a Goth, speaking a language between Flemish and German. They were semi-nomadic people like Huns and Theodoric himself born in Pannonian plains. After they have been separated from Huns, they invaded Italy and ruled in there for half a century `till eastern Romans comes, beat them.

So, what Italian culture, art, Roman model you talking about? Theodoric and his people were the enemies of Romans with their so-called "heretic" Arianism belief and thats why eastern Romans came to Ravenna to end their reign.

Gothic was an East-Germanic language, closer to modern North Germanic ones than West Germanic ones.

I'm talking about what I know for sure better than you, Italian history, to which belongs Theodoric, king of Italy for 33 years, one of longest reigns in all Italian history.
As a young boy Theodoric was brought as an hostage to the court of Constantinople and there educated for ten years as a Roman. After his coming in Italy he always presented himself as a defender and a promoter of Roman culture, of course in order to gain support from his Roman subjects.
Almost all of his ministers and secretaries were Romans and Catholics (Cassiodorus and Boethius just to name a few).
Talking about religious issues, his policy of religious tolerance was well known and praised by the Catholics too. He even sponsored Latin as liturgical language instead of Greek in order to promote an Italian national church less linked to Constantinople.
It's even said that he took up official residence in Verona (from which "Dietrich von Bern" as he is known in German history) to attend with the greatest pleasure the Circus games in the Arena, a typical Gothic entertainment .

Interesting. I knew about the mausoleum, btu not its origins.

On the debate over its origins, it looks to be a hybrid of Roman and nomadic styles. The supporting arches are Roman, but the overall design is not. Theodoric himself was a Goth, but was highly romanized.
