Culture and Civilizations

I stumbled upon this link, pre-islamic Arabic culture:
http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ISLAM/PRE.HTM

At that link, the drop-down menu gives other informative links:
interestingly the Memluks page is blank, so is the seljuks, mongols, timurids

check out this database:
http://library.uncfsu.edu/databases/subject_results.asp and look for the music d'base

Here is another one I found - what a great treasure - in alphabetical order - Armenian History glossary:
http://www.armenianhistory.info/glossary.htm

Update: In this thread I will be updating links to cultural sites on Social Media:
