Im speaking about the actual lore...(Alf layl waa layla..."a thousand and one nights" was lore compiled in Baghdad, in Arabic...translated into English as the "Arabian Nights" and introduced the non-arabic world to characters like Aladdin who was Uyghur, Sindbad who was a Sindhi (Pakistani today) living in Basra Iraq, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves who was Persian, etc etc)
