@kaylak What do you think the answer is?

kaylak:

kaylak:

could i get math help gotta finish something

ThisGirlPretty:

the mosaics decorating its interior draw extensively on Byzantine mosaic techniques and aesthetics in their execution of vegetal motifs (while combining them with Sasanian iconographic elements). Thus, although the Quranic inscriptions adorning the Dome of the Rock promote the virtues of the Islamic faith over Christianity, the architectural and decorative programs are heavily indebted to the Byzantine Christian artistic tradition, which they recombine and reinterpret to create a triumphal message."

ThisGirlPretty:

"the mosaics decorating its interior" ", the architectural and decorative programs are heavily indebted" Hint

kaylak:

The interior is extensively decorated with vivid, colorful patterning wrapping the walls, but the focus is the rock inside, as it was the location in which Muhammad was taken into heaven. Mosaics represent the gardens of paradise and consist of lush, vegetal backgrounds, crowns, jewels, chalices, and other royal motifs. This is possibly a reference to the victory of Islam over the Byzantine and Persian empires. There are also inscriptions in gold mosaic on a turquoise background of Koran verses communicating both as text and as an impressive visual display. This text is the oldest surviving written Koran verses and the first use of monumental Koranic inscriptions in architecture. The exterior has been extensively restored with tiling from the 16th century and later, replacing the original mosaic that had become dislocated with a heavy rain.
