43 in all these countries words were used as design elements for creation of CPs, and along with words these patterns may be considered as different examples periodic tiling of the plane with polygons. And it is not surprising that they happened to be isomorphic with inorganic crystals which have been decoded in our own time... From the fact that words and phrases were widely used as pattern elements one might conclude that indeed the inclination toward geometric patterns is connected with the Islamic religion. Here arises a natural question: If this is really so, then such a trend should not be observed before Islam Kh. S. Mamedov
