===Gerudo=== | |||
[[File:Old Gerudo Symbol.png|thumb|200px|right|The original [[Crest of the Gerudo]]]] | |||
The [[Gerudo]] are strongly influenced by the Middle East and the [[Gerudo Desert]] by desert on the Arab peninsular and the Sahara. Their original crest based on the Islamic star and crescent but was changed along with the [[Fire Temple]], which originally sampled a group of men singing Islamic prayer.<ref group=note>The first part of the Arabic samples were deciphered as "{{Wp|Peace be upon him (Islam)|Sal-Allahu-alayhi-wa-alik}}" which means ''"May God grant peace and honor him (Muhammad) and his family."'', followed by "{{Wp|Names of God in Islam|Dhul-Galali-wal-ikram}}," meaning ''"The Lord of Majesty and Generosity"''. The second part of Arabic samples was deciphered as the {{Wp|Basmala}}; meaning ''"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful"'', followed by the {{Wp|Takbir}}; literally meaning ''"God is Great"''.</ref> | |||

The Gerudo also based on the Egyptians. The [[Spirit Temple]]'s first room has two giant snake sculptures which based on the Egyptian ''Uraeus''. The entrance of the [[Desert Colossus]] and similar statues in the Spirit Temple and [[Arbiter's Grounds]] are (rock-cut) colossi similar to these in Egypt like in Abu Simbel; these statues either wear a head similar to the ''Khepresh'' or to the ''Nemes''. the [[Pyramid]] in {{FSA|-}} based on the Egyptian pyramids. | |||
Like the Amazons, they are a tribe of female warriors. Modern scholars often identifies the Amazons with the Scythians in the Eurasian Steppe or with Lycia in Anatolia. | |||
