Learning and knowledge is Magic! Since we now have a Sultan's Palace, we should have a new land to go with it. The new land could be based on Mesopotamia (current day Iraq). (Iraq, Turkey, & Syria). Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Akkadians, Phoenicians (modern day Lebanon.)
Many great things have come from the Arab world. Arabian Nights stories, Epic of Gilgamesh, House of Wisdom, Writings of Aristotle, Mathematics (Arabic number (Just count from 1 - 10, etc.), Cuneiform (Writing), Mesopotamian Mythology - Lamassu, Ishatar, Marduk & Shamash, etc. The Wheel (Transportation and Potter's Wheel (for Pottery).
I love this idea! I learned about mesopotamia in history class and immediately knew what you were talking about. Mesopotamia is based on the sumerians who were the first culture ever on earth. Keep coming up with great ideas! :D
