History is being told all wrong, purposefully, by modern European academia, to try to create a very distinct divide between the West and the East and pretending that the East wasn't an heir to Greco-Romanism.

Some sultans merged Iranian and Greek identities by claiming to be the khusraw-i Yunan ("the Chosroes of Greece").[67]

The Konya citadel (city walls of Konya), built and decorated by Kayqubad I in the 1220s, incorporated many Greco-Roman Classical elements for its decoration. Léon de Laborde, 1838
Architectural styles of the Sultanate of Rum were rather eclectic. The walls of Konya in particular, built by Kayqubad I, adopted many western decorative elements, such as a statue of Hercules, a frieze from a Roman sarcophagus, courtly scenes with seated figures in toga, winged deities around the figure of the sun, mixed with inscriptions in Arabic.[72] It would seem that such symbolism mixing Western and Eastern elements was mostly derived from the influence of the Artuqids, who were adept at combining Classical and Perso-Islamic approaches.[73]

"Rum" is "Rome", even the naming for Western audiences is to create a further divide, when other things that are named differently are translated whrn it serves the agenda.

It is more than likely that everything has been told wrong up until this point and will be told wrong about things going on now also.
