Answer 1

what are the answers?

Answer 2

Mosaics were more central to Byzantine culture than to that of Western Europe.

Byzantine church interiors were generally covered with golden mosaics.

Mosaic art flourished in the Byzantine Empire from the 6th to the 15th centuries.

The majority of Byzantine mosaics were destroyed without trace during wars and conquests, but the surviving remains still form a fine collection.

Islamic architecture used mosaic technique to decorate religious buildings and palaces after the Muslim conquests of the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire.

In Syria and Egypt the Arabs were influenced by the great tradition of Roman and Early Christian mosaic art.

During the Umayyad Dynasty mosaic making remained a flourishing art form in Islamic culture and it is continued in the art of zellige and azulejo in various parts of the Arab world, although tile was to become the main Islamic form of wall decoration.

The first great religious building of Islam, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which was built between 688–692, was decorated with glass mosaics both inside and outside, by craftsmen of the Byzantine tradition.

Only parts of the original interior decoration survive.
