Through out history, even before the written word, music told our stories.
Through Music, we learned of the great wars, the great kingdoms (both low and most high), our greatest fears, and our greatest victories
..And Through Opera we also learn About, #Tartaria
A Thread~
2/
You may be surprised at the amount of #Tartarian history that can still be found inside these sonnets and stanzas
Curious, did Opera originate with the #Tartaria empire?
The #Usurpers would have you believe that it was invented in Europe "..in the 17c.." but they lie, soo..
3/
Take a close look at the below passage.
There were Opera songs written in Tartarian language.
Being neighbored by such languages as Russian, German, English, French, and Italian suggests that Tartarian language was one of the major languages in the World at the time.

Take this Opera for instance:
The conquest of China
by the Tartars ~a tragedy
circa~ j676

Did You Read It?☝️
You should.
Here is a little ditty.
Did you know that Persia, ruled Asia first?
Before China?
You would if you listened to Turandot
(Persian face and name even)

Synopsis:
Persian prince tries to marry a Chinese princess who refuses his love unless he can solve three #Riddles Riddles
7/
In Thomyris j717 we learned of a Persian queen Thomyris who ruled Central Asia.
(The origin story of the Amazon warriors)
King of China~
"..If in this Fight Fate on our Champion frown,
We're Tributaries to the Tartar Crown.." twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Credit @jerymck for the Thomyris connection, great work.
How far back does the #Tartaria empire go?
What if I told you that so-called 'China' and the Tartarians have been fighting for over 4000 years?
(who built that wall again?)
