In this history documentary we cover the Islamic Golden Age and the House of Wisdom. The video begins by tracing the life of Muhammad and the rise of the early Islamic Empire under the Rashidun Caliphate. We then follow its charge out into the wider world in wars against both the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire. Following this clash, the Umayyad Caliphate pushes the borders of the empire yet further east into India and west into Spain. This period saw the very beginning of change with the start of the translation movement. However it would be the rise of the succeeding Abbasids and the founding of Baghdad which truly kicked off the Islamic Golden Age.
At this point our history documentary focuses on the emergence of the House of Wisdom. What it was, who worked there, and what they accomplished. Finally we conclude with the fall of Baghdad and the tragic end of the Islamic Golden Age. Stay tuned for more medieval history!

Invicta - Father of surgery
is ancient indian doctor Sushruta Samhita (ca. 600 BCE) - he is described as the "father of plastic surgery", and the "father of surgery"
Al-Zahrawi
is the founder of modern surgical and medical instruments and pioneered neurosurgery and neurological diagnosis. But Sushruta Samhita is first. The rest is right as far as i know.
I love your work and i watch your videos regularly.
I have one question - can you make video for Carthaginian Army during Barcid family (the reforms which they made - weapons and armor, organisation)
Here is what i know - Hamilcar organised army in some form of regiments with manipular system, he armed Carthaginian and Lybophoenician cavalry with falcata sword and Carthaginian, Lybophoenician, libyan infantry with iberian sword similar to gladius, olso he give them so called iberian scutum shield and falarica spear.
Iberian troops were armed with carthaginian armor and helmets and organised and trained in regiments.
1. How much this is true
2. If you dont make video - can you tell me for a book or articles with information.
Thank you in advance and keep up your work.
@@jivkotodorov84 Al Zahrawi made the biggest contribution to that field though.. Sushruta's work is basic in comparison. In addition, Al Zahrawi's tools are still used today.. even after over a thousand years.
Yo, you already have a real problem with white fascists raiding this comment section...
They "sponsored" you generously I guess.
@@user-pv9vs9mx6q - Al Zahrawi had 1500 years medical texts before him one of which is Sushruta Samhita
which he probably studied.
I dont denied Al Zahrawi work - but Sushruta is first.
Yes his work is basic but Sushruta Samhita is written in 600 BC and for his time is revolutionary.
Here is article for him
www.ancient.eu/sushruta/
www.livehistoryindia.com/snapshort-histories/2017/11/27/sushruta-samhita-the-ancient-treatise-on-surgery
Read it and you will understand why he is considered for the father of the surgery -
the text he wrote have details for 1120 medical conditions, 700 medical plants, 121 surgical instruments. All this written 1600 years before Al-Tasrif
There are some salty people in the comments. Why cant people just accept that Islamic empires actually contributed to our advancement as a a species? When other empires do the same thing we talk about how great they were, point in case the Roman empire, ancient Egyptian civilization, but we have some issue accepting this part of islamic history? Modern day fundamentalism and extremism is a result of several things (dogmatic and literal interpretations of islamic texts, colonialism, etc) but we shouldn't project our opinions about the current state of Islamic communities onto the past.
@Lucius Sulla Wahhabism would've propelled the Islamic world back in the Golden era. Abdullah Ibn Wahhab dreamt of just that.
They can't fathom the fact that Sharia Law was the driving factor behind all of these achievements.
Because there is and has been a very real movement to disrespect history and lie about Islamic accomplishments in order to make islam more acceptable to westerners. Most of the time achievements accredited to Islam did not actually come from Muslims or Islam. Islam retards the pursuit of knowledge
@Lucius Sulla Name me a pre-Islamic Persian scientist who was on par with the likes of Ibn Sina,Al-Biruni,Al-Farabi,Al-Khawarizmi,Omar Khayyan,Al-Razi and so on. I'll wait. Oh and btw,all of these people were religious and even claimed in their books that religion was what drove them to do what they did.
@Lucius Sulla the story of Omar ordering the destruction of Persian books is a very weak story because the main Persian libraries were in ctesipan which was conquered by treaty while the story talks about a non identified city in Persian land making it a weak story also ctesipan most prestigious learning institute the Jundi Shapur survived till the 3rd hijrah century (9th century AD) 270
As a book translator, I'm thinking now about using the book's weight in gold as means of payment.
Careful, some wiseguy will try to argue that an ebook has no physical weight, and therefore you should have to work for free.
@@jesseberg3271 perfect response! Unless you think further. I work in a semiconductor manufacturer, and let me tell you that campus weighs a quite a bit, plus all the weight of fuel it is using, materials needed to synth the chemicals etc etc etc.
Taking everything into account, the storage of data, that whole system, could be heavier than those mutilated plant corpse 'books'.
Just some perspective
Al-Asmaʿi Arabic philologist written his magnificent poem on stone pole, and when they asked him to exchange the paper with the gold, he showed them the stone pole and take it's weight gold 😅
@@jesseberg3271 just ask for the its data space in gold
1 GB = 1 kilogram of gold

You should. If you can get away with it, of course.
It was a lot of fun working on this video. Thank you for the opportunity.
thank you SO MUCH for making the video finally something GOOD about Islam IN the Internet
Your pronunciation of the arab words and names definitely added great value
In Which Dan Carlin podacst did he talk about the Islamic world? I'd like to listen to it
@@dedsecwd This is called Da'wa, islamic propaganda. The islamic golden age happened not because of Islam but in spite of it. Many scientist had to fear for their lives whilst inventing things that went against islamic teachings. Most inventions were made by former christians or pagans who were forced to convert to Islam. There is nothing scientifical in Islam, the Quran teaches that the earth is flat and that the sun sets in a muddy spring...
@@DantesDarkside what are your evidence? no evidence,not true...i am tired of telling the truth when everyone just sucks and just gonna go to hell when they die...da'wa is not a propaganda...propaganda tells about the lies....the only good things...hear one of the sermons...they are not biased...the earth is not flat because they were evidence of it and the sun does sets in the muddy springs...it means it was saw sets in the ocean...
Fun fact: There is a chapter (surah in Arabic) of the Qur'an, more precisely the 30th chapter, titled Ar-Rum, meaning "The Romans" in Arabic, which at the time, referred to the Eastern Roman Empire.
The first verses of the surah (chapter) refer to the defeat of the Byzantine Empire at the hands of the Sassanid in the spring of 614 during the Byzantine-Sassanid War of 602-628.
While in the third and fourth verses, the Muslim community is promised that the Byzantines will reverse their defeat into a victory "in a few years' time".
It just very interesting for me when learning about this (I am a history student)
Wow

@@tasinal-hassan8268 well done that's the entire summary of the comment section
The library was really destroyed by Christians because, among other reasons, the head was a girl. They burnt it to the ground. By the time muslims arrived, there were hardly anything left (comparatively) and they burnt all but a few books a renegade stole.
Weird that kings and generals have similar episode few hours later.
it's called telepathy
Would not be surprised UA-cam data feedback tells them Thursdays at this time is the optimal moment to release videos. Combine that with it currently being Ramadan, and the coincidence doesn't seem so strange anymore.
I was actually quite surprised as we did not coordinate. However this episode was prompted by a specific Patron request so its possible the same individual requested a similar topic from them. At the same time its a great topic to explore so I'm sure they would have gotten to it at some point anyways.
Honestly I was very happy because they're both two of my favorite history channels ever. And they actually tackled different aspects of the topic which made this even more enriching.
The patron must be twice as happy. Just imagine: "Hm, let's try it on both channels, maybe one day one of them will use my idea. Wait, what's that? They both heard my request and released the video just few hours apart? It must be my birthday today!"
When you feel that you have reached the peak of glory, be sure that this is the beginning of your downfall .. This is the lesson from history
*Looking at modern society ..*

@@Real_Tower_Pizza it could still happen if the west stops interfering
It is sad to see how many of the Middle Eastern people have forgotten their own scholars. When visiting Morocco and UAE, people in the bazaars and local universities, knew very little of the titans mentioned in this video. In contrast, I have little trouble finding people who want to talk about titans of the West like Neitzsche, Galileo and Da Vinci in countries like Germany, Australia and UK, not only in universities but also in common Cafe.
What do you expect from people that never advanced past the 1200s?
ua-cam.com/video/t_Qpy0mXg8Y/v-deo.html
The main reason for such ignorance is colonization, it was hard for those living under colonies to remember the giants of philosophy and science when they were denied education and their homeland was being leeched by foreign powers and to top it all of political authority was fractured, corrupted and the people divided.
We do not forgot our own scholar nor we will in the future
That is what happens when your countries get "arabized". The "islamic" golden age happend because the arabs conquered peoples wwith the richest intellectual traditions. You don´t have many famous arab intellectuls because most of them were Persians, mediteranian, syrian etc...

Babylon was such an amazing city...Sad that we can't admire it's former glory now
Yea because America had to "free" it
It’s still there for archeologists. It’s been in ruins for millennia. It was surpassed by Alexander’s military camp outside a city which became Baghdad. It was totally gone by the time Europe was an idea.
Nothing good lasts in the hands of backwards, murderous fanatics. Look at what they've done to all the former Isis territories.
Babylon was invaded and faded before Islam.. there was NO Arab role in its destruction and loss of influence. The Babylonian Empire invaded by the Achaemenids at first in around 500BCE, then the Achaemenids were invaded by Alexandar and the Greeks around 330BCE, and Babylon was under Greek control for the next 100 years or so, until the Parthian Empire invaded it again. Even after the Parthians, the Romans invaded around 120AD, and by then, Babylon was not heard of. And then, there was 400 years of Sassanid Rule.. until 640AD, when the Arab Muslims invaded. In reality, the Arabs toke over Mesopotamia over 800 years after its decline. Also, the Arabs actually rebuilt Mesopotamia and gave it influence by making their capital Baghdad situated there.

You sure about that? Their annual budget was only 950K Gold Dinars ($150 mil). Those guys had nothing to do but argue, read, write, and only grow and prosper as they did more.. it is risky when you reward research for research sake like the Caliphs did. They had little red tape and even the worst hand writers could make a living..

Everything in this video is done exceptionally! Good job guys!
Nice episode, I wish you could mention that the golden age was able to exist because of arabic monopoly on trade with india and china, ended with the mongols taking control of the silk road and placing own rulers in india. Similar trick was later used by the ottomans and for that reason portugal and spain (using italian sailors) started looking for their own path to gold.
mongols didn't conquer India. they didn't cross the Indus River. but their descendants like Mughals ruled it , starting from 1526
Thats how it works, when you dominate the trade networks of the world economy, you get a golden age. When you don't anymore, your golden age stop
@@EmilReiko china is making their own now
lqqw123 That’s not the reason why Portugal and Spain started looking for paths towards India.
In short, if you control the silk road, you get rich enough to spend money in education and writing which back then was almost a luxury
Thank you for adding the fall part at the end for some dummies asking why this all declined.
The house of wisdom consisted so many books that when the mongols destroyed the library and threw all the books on the river, the flow of the river stopped and its colour turned black due to the ink of
the books.🙁🙁
You might want to correct your spelling there, it's 'Mongols' not 'mongs'. The word 'mong' is a slang term for someone that is an idiot. It's sort of like saying they are retarded. I just thought you should know :)
That’s a LIE! They are talking about the knowledge used to pump oil... the books are the instructions, the river is the source/location of the oil, the flow of the river stopping and turning black from the ink is the pollution and destruction caused by the oil to the natural environment... even though the oil is not directly underneath the river, the river is a source of knowledge and wisdom and wealth(like a river bank or the Egyptian Nile river) rivers are symbolic of mankind, culture, wisdom, community, it’s a singularity that brings man together as one single source for life because of its multi dimensional use and free flowing qualities much like oil is used in modern economy...
Bullshit
@@ethanallenhawley1052 it's not bullshit. If you don't believe me then Google it.
Sounds like the slight retelling of a story about Islamic conquest where the heads of kafir's were stacked in a dry river bed until a stream of blood ran from the nonbelievers.
All Empires are inherently unjust, but we got a lot to thank those scholars for. I hope one day we'll live to see Baghdad become the cultural hub of museums and history it's meant to be!
Great video about a subject not often talked about. I'd just like to point out that the Carolingian empire was also going through the carolingian reneissance. It was not comparable at all to the Islamic golden age, however it shows that Europe of the late antiquty wasn't completely abandoning education.

An amazing insight into a world that already lost long ago. Wonder what happened if the Abbasid never got decentralised and eventually conquered by the Mongols and the states continue to flourish.
One of the great what ifs of history. Honestly the crusades didnt help either.

I will say this Colonialism has not ended..... it evolved. let me explain. before colonialism " ends " the west chose the leaders of countries to keep their interest in regions take france for example.
www.ieri.be/en/publications/wp/2019/f-vrier/france-still-exploiting-africa
and take me for example. i am from the middle east and here our " dictators" have been chosen by the west not by us and here they uneducate people Historically , economically and religiously because that's what sustain their rule and my country is rich ,but money is nothing for me and for us muslims in general and here we eat we drink and we sleep ( not me i always study and seek knowledge in all fronts as best as i can and am a civil engineer ) even the cattle eat drinks and sleeps. here🇰🇼 courrption is too obvious and we muslims are in phase one and that's " Realization " to be fully aware from politics to history to religion. and every time a Muslim nation rises the west is unsatisfied and want to overthrow the government. Gaddafi,mursi,Yemeni leader Salah , King faisal in the 70s ( he got assassinated) ....etc way a lot i can't go over them all.
HOWEVER, before the Arab spring this i admit was not clear to all of us ,but after the Arab spring EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR. we now came to realize misery is built by the happiness of others and our leaders and boarders were chosen and drawn by the west and we must amd will over throw our governments and stop the western intervention in our lands. sorry forgot ( the western people have nothing to do with their governments in fact we are all slaves to this corrupted system we live under " capitalism " or communism both you use " banks" made you know by who i don't have to explain).
now about "slavery has evolved" and this time it favors no race only one in fact 👃 and it favors mostly the dollar. we are born to serve and sustain the system and the system milks the life out of us and we gain " invaluable paper money " in return and sometimes we get in debt which is literally an invisible chain in the neck. basically we are living inside bank and the bank choses who succeed and who doesn't and the bank plays with economy and who built it? "the red shield" known as the rothschilds.
our muslim lands are the battlefield of the super powers and when you say next time why refugees are in Europe ask yourself what caused them to be there? that's the correct question.
Russia is causing the refugee crisis in Europe by bombing the Syrians and helping Assad to kill his people and the refugees are a toy to send them to Turkey and Europe to weaken their economy and make the left wing fight right wing start wars. Russia has an agenda and don't get wrong Russia, china and America/western Europe are fighting for their agenda to who rules who. all of them are trash.
now i want to put it in conclusion. " REALIZATION LEADS TO REVALUATION AND REVELATION LEADS TO REVOLUTION " SOMETIMES IT LEADS TO A VERY DIFFERENT R AND THAT'S RADICALIZATION AND THAT HAPPENS WITHOUT BACKBONE. that's why people go far left or far right. because they are weak in character and btw left wing right wing is a toy for the system no matter who wins the system decides everything not the people nor the government.
We muslims are in phase one ,but obviously Turkish people has finished phase three. and we look forward to unite with our Muslim brothers and sisters and no islam is not an Arab please don't let me write about it and Arab is not an ethnicity it's a language.
the world is Suffering from western imperialism ( not the people unlike you we understand) most people walk with where the wind pushes them am not like that i hope you understand now.
@Jimmy Neutron being bad at fighting? it's not about fighting you obviously don't understand at all the history and the politics. my ancestors literally took your ancestors head and wiped the floor of Al Sham ( Levant) with it. what i mentioned previously is true my previous comment, but obviously you lack reasoning and want to take things personally with me.

I think every Tunisian has a copy of it in his home , it must be one of the first non fiction books I have ever read . IT maybe important to point out that there are inaccuracies and wrongful conclusions in it ( for example the origins of the Amazigh) but as a whole it's a great read , I never did read it in any other languages except Arabic so there maybe a different feeling to it . All in all that book and Ibn Khaldun
are considered as source of pride in Tunisia.
Respect to Invicta, not many channels that would reflect on the history of Islam
Are you going to continue the What if Caesar survived? #CAESARLIVES
The lesson: Every time you will try to create open society dedicated to progress and wisdom some idiots with sticks will come and ruin it.
Nowadays the idiots with the sticks are mostly funded by the CIA
Just don't forget that in all that "openness" and "progress" they still had institutionalized slavery and they still did military conquests. Today that's often brushed under the rug and they are viewed as some kind of a perfect utopia by Westerners laden with guilt and self-doubt.
@@praevasc4299 1. "had" is not the correct word... Slavery still exists, we just call it with more pleasant word. 2. I didn't ignore the fact of military conquests, but I was talking holding in mind later phase, when they became more civilized. 3. By no means I believe in possibility of existence without wars, nor into utopias. 4. Thx Cthulhu Im not Westerner laden with guilt and self-doubt. And PS My comment must be concerned as a warning to anybody thinking about the idea of purple-happy, free society...
@@praevasc4299 most ancient socities had slavery to some extent. Even those in ancient greece, even in the Arab caliphates, in china, etc. The arabics were pretty damn advanced for their time, especially with the tolerance of other cultures in their empire, as a lot of places still had religious violence against those they disagree with. Slavery was a more publically accepted institution back then, and a society from back then having slaves doesnt necessarily take away from their advancements (that being said, im not sayin slavery isnt bad. It definitely is)
@@Number1Irishlad I wasn't saying other civilizations didn't have slavery. I'm just saying that those who attack Western civilization and romanticize the Islamic one, are hypocrites, because they all tell about slavery in the West while they don't mention slavery elsewhere.
Did you and Kings & Generals coordinate or something because its so cool to have two videos today on the same topic.
Cool that you and Kings and Generals did pretty different videos on the same subject!
The next part should be: The descent of Islam from the Golden Age to Al-Daesh. That too would be very interesting.
That's a thousand year jump so much more happened in the time between those two events
It will be painful to you white folks. Because the cause is obvious.
Judging by the comments, many viewers would expect that video to blame Islam for Daesh. There'd be a lot of butthurt when Colonialism and current Western foreign policy is brought up. The existence of Daesh is Cause and Effect. Without certain events, like the Sykes-Picot Agreement between France and Britain after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, or the US invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, Daesh wouldn't exist.
@Lachlan Allen There isn't an ounce of self-hatred in me. Pointing out the truth isn't self hatred. Western foreign policy has a role in a plethora of issues ranging from terrorism to mass immigration.
Regarding Wahhabism, Britain did actually support the Wahhabis revolt against the Ottomans.
Also, imagine blaming Islam for Takfiri groups when Takfirism is condemned in the Qur'an as a major sin and Muhammad's son-in-law, Ali, the Fourth Caliph, was assassinated by Takfiris.
Sure, it technically wouldn't exist without Islam also existing, but to make it out to be Islam's fault is disingenuous.
started with the era of Vizier Nizam Al Mulk nepotism and prohibition in the freedom of speech
this video felt incomplete since there was no mention of Al Ghazali and how he influenced many people to practically abandon math and science.
Al-Ghazali was a great scientist.
Tasin Al-Hassan maybe so but he still influenced many to abandon math/science. “manipulation of numbers is the work of the Devil” his words and also Neil deGrasse Tyson mentioned it as well.
_"The second evil likely to follow from the study of the mathematical sciences derives from the case of an ignorant friend of Islam who supposes that our religion must be championed by the rejection of every science ascribed to the philosophers. So he rejects all their sciences,claiming that they display ignorance and folly in them all. He even denies their statements about eclipses of the sun and the moon and asserts that their views are contrary to the revealed Law. When such an assertion reaches the ears of someone who knows those things through apodeictic demonstration,he does not doubt the validity of his proof,but rather believes that Islam is built on ignorance and the denial of apodeictic demonstration. So he becomes all the more enamored of philosophy and envenomed against Islam. _*_Great indeed is the crime against religion committed by anyone who supposes that Islam is to be championed by the denial of these mathematical sciences."_* - Al-Ghazālī, Deliverance from Error (al-Munqidh min al-Dalāl), trans. Richard J. Mccarthy, S.J. (Boston: Twayne, 1980), 8-9.
So no,Al-Ghazālī not once implied that mathematics was the work of the "Devil" or whatever that means. These are orientalist myths,much like idea that harems were orgy houses for Muslim Kings. Al-Ghazali's concern for studying mathematics rested not in its inherent opposition to religion or science,but in the philosopher’s monopolization of it solely for the sake of their unsubstantiated metaphysical views. So he was not against the study of mathematics per se; rather, he attempted to facilitate it by pointing out its licentious misuse by his intellectual opponents.
The irony here is that he was warning us about exactly what Neil Tyson pulled off in that seminar a decade ago. (2009 in Switzerland?)
The fact that Neil,a mediocre science writer,attempted to talk about a subject matter he was not an expert in (History), is a textbook example of what Al-Ghazali was so worried about.
He then went on to say that Muslims having only 12 Nobel Prizes despite outnumbering Jews,who have more than 10 times those prizes,is an indication of what Al-Ghazali inflicted upon the Islamic Golden Age.
He missed out on two important things here:
1. Jews are a race. Those Nobel Prize winners vary in terms of personal faith. Einstein was an agnostic deist,for example. A better comparison would've been with Christians.
2. Majority of the Nobel Prize winners are predominantly from the white race. In fact,black people virtually have no Nobel Prizes. Not even compared to the few ones Arabs,Persians,Indians and Bangladeshis received. So does that mean Neil,a black person,is unintelligent and incapable of scientific thought? Is he useless? Does he speak in ooga boogas?
It's amazing the coincidence. K&G just released a video with a similar topic.

Al-Kindi was born in Kufa (modern Iraq) a Muslim Arab polymath. He was a philosopher, scientist, astrologer, astronomer, chemist, mathematician, musician, physician and physicist who was well known for his utmost interest in Greek philosophy. He was the first prominent philosopher of the Islamic world and was a member of the former Christian Arab tribe of Al-Kinda and was the only pure blooded Arab philosopher. The Italian Renaissance scholar Geralomo Cardano (1501-1575) considered him one of the twelve greatest minds of the Middle Ages.
Al-Kindi became a prominent figure in the House of Wisdom, and a number of Abbasid Caliphs appointed him to oversee the translation of Greek scientific and philosophical texts into the Arabic language. This contact with "the philosophy of the ancients" (as Greek philosophy was often referred to by Muslim scholars) had a profound effect on his intellectual development, and lead him to write a number of original treatises of his own on a range of subjects ranging from metaphysics and ethics to mathematics and philosophy and pharmacology. In the field of mathematics, al-Kindi played an important role in introducing Indian numerals to the Islamic and Christian world.
His own thought was largely influenced by the Neo-Platonic philosophy of Proclus, Plotinus and John Philoponus, amongst others, although he does appear to have borrowed ideas from other Hellenistic schools as well. Earlier experts had suggested that he was influenced by the Mutazilite school of theology, because of the mutual concern both he and they demonstrated for maintaining the pure unity (tawhid) of God. However, such agreements are now considered incidental, as further study has shown that they disagreed on a number of equally important topics. Al-Kindi is regarded as the "father of Arabic philosophy" for his synthesis, adaptation and promotion of Greek and Hellenistic philosophy in the Muslim world.
During his life, al-Kindi was fortunate enough to enjoy the patronage of the pro-Mutazilite Caliphs al-Ma'mun and al-Mu'tasim, which meant he could carry out his philosophical speculations with relative ease. This would change significantly towards the end of his life when al-Mutawakkil supported the more orthodox Asharite school, and initiated persecution of various unorthodox schools of thought, including the philosophers. He also engaged in disputations with the Mutazilites, whom he attacked for their belief in atoms. But the real role of al-Kindi in the conflict between philosophers and theologians would be to prepare the ground for debate. His works, says Deborah Black, contained all the seeds of future controversy that would be fully realized in al-Ghazali's "Incoherence of the Philosophers".
Al-Farabi (known in the west as Alpharabius), the Kazakh thinker, was the greatest scientists and philosophers of the Islamic world. Among the scholars of the Middle Period - (tenth and eleventh centuries ad) al-Farabi was considered the foremost Aristotelian, and was indeed known as the "Second Teacher" (Aristotle himself being the First Teacher). He made notable contributions to the fields of mathematics, philosophy, medicine, sociology and music. He was inspired by the Platonism and Neo-Platonism and was a great exponent of the Aristotelian school of philosophy. He wrote rich commentaries on Aristotle and like al-Razi, he considered reason superior to revelation and advocated for the relegation of prophecy to philosophy. According to him as quoted by Nicholson, “…reason should govern and control the life of man. He definitely did not believe in the inherent doctrines of the Islamic creed and wished it could be reformed guided by philosophy. He was also a major political scientist and may rightly be acclaimed as one of the greatest of Islamic philosophers of all time. While his name tends to be overshadowed by that of Ibn Sina, it is worth bearing in mind that the latter was less original than the former.
I like how you released this video in concert with KandG.
It's sad to see that in none of these videos is Alhazen mentioned - the greatest genius to have lived between Ptolemy and Newton himself.
Mind blown at the numerals images... Each number needs the number of traces it represents
Dude, I'd love to subtitle this to Portuguese, though youtube doesn't allow me, Is that something you set? Or is it the platform?
In the past, Muslim dynasties felt honored to have greatest minds at yhier courts. Omar khaiyam,Nijam al mulk,Mavlana Rumi got patronage from seljuqs,Ferdawsi from Mahmud of ghazana,Abbas ibn firnas at umayyad Cordova, Amir khosru from Delhi Sultanate, Hafiz of Shiraz got lots of gift from Bengal Sultanate, Great Admiral Zhang he also described many Muslim rulers were fond of curiosity and wise persons. It was enabled due to religious tolerance and encouragement towards knowledge.

I was born in Baghdad Iraq and it's crazy to think that my ancestors did all that
So many people asking about Kings and Generals. You should definitely coordinate on a future release.
During a quick search I could find literally nothing about the archaeology of modern Baghdad. Is all of the information in Arabic or is there actually nothing left?
Try looking in French and German
Yes James because the Internet is the one that erase all of it
@Muhammad Haider Ibn Akhlaq so there is surviving history and archaeology? I was worried all had been destroyed
@@jamesporter628 there isnt much surviving in baghdad, as unfortunate as it is, due to the mongols. Like they fuckin went at it, and got down to the Persian gulf. A lot of the arcitecture from spain and morocco when they were under arabic rule are some of the best preservations of what buildings in baghdad might have looked like back then
there is a second golden age which capital was cairo under the mameluk sultanate from 1260-1517
Greatly explained
Geber, aka Abu Mūsā Jābir ibn Hayyān, was a prominent Islamic alchemist, pharmacist, philosopher, astronomer, and physicist. He has also been referred to as the "father of Arab chemistry" by Europeans. The historian of chemistry Erick John Holmyard gives credit to Jābir for developing alchemy into an experimental science and he writes that Jābir's importance to the history of chemistry is equal to that of Robert Boyle and Antoine Lavoisier. His ethnic background is not clear; although most sources state he was an Arab, some describe him as Persian. Jabir was born in Tus, Khorasan, in Iran, which was at the time ruled by the Umayyad Caliphate. He was the son of Hayyan al-Azdi, a pharmacist of the Arabian Azd tribe who emigrated from Yemen to Kufa (in present-day Iraq) during the Umayyad Caliphate.
Jabir is mostly known for his contributions to chemistry. He emphasised systematic experimentation, and did much to free alchemy from superstition and turn it into a science. He is credited with the invention of many types of now-basic chemical laboratory equipment, and with the discovery and description of many now-commonplace chemical substances and processes - such as the hydrochloric and nitric acids, distillation, and crystallization that have become the foundation of today's chemistry and chemical engineering. Jabir's alchemical investigations were theoretically grounded in an elaborate numerology related to Pythagorean and Neoplatonic systems. In his writings, Jabir pays tribute to Egyptian and Greek alchemists Hermes Trismegistus, Agathodaimon, Pythagoras, and Socrates.
His books strongly influenced the medieval European alchemists and justified their search for the philosopher's stone. In spite of his leanings toward mysticism (he was considered a Sufi) and superstition, he more clearly recognised and proclaimed the importance of experimentation. Jabir became an alchemist at the court of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, for whom he wrote the Kitab al-Zuhra ("The Book of Venus", on "the noble art of alchemy"). In the middle Ages, Jabir's treatises on chemistry were translated into Latin and became standard texts for European alchemists.
Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas Al-Zahrawi (known in the west as Abulcasis) was an Andalusian Muslim Physician born in 936 A.D. in Zahra in the neighborhood of Cordova, Al-Andalus, present-day Spain. He became one of the most renowned surgeons of the Muslim era and was a court physician to the Andalusian caliph Al-Hakam II. After a long medical career, rich with significant original contribution, he died in 1013 A.D. He is best known for his early and original breakthroughs in surgery as well as for his famous Medical Encyclopedia called Al-Tasrif, which is composed of thirty volumes covering different aspects of medical science. He is considered the "father of modern surgery" and as the greatest medieval surgeon to have appeared from the Islamic World whose comprehensive medical texts, combining Arab medicine and Greco-Roman teachings, shaped both Islamic and European surgical procedures up until the Renaissance. His greatest contribution to history is the Kitab al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume encyclopedia of medical practices. According to Dr. Cambell (History of Arab Medicine), his principles of medical science surpassed those of Galen in the European medical curriculum.
Very interesting video, I didn't know much about the islamic empire.
The house of wisdom, shame it was destroyed, same with the library of alexandria. I wonder where we would be should those ancient hubs of science never been destroyed
@Aléxandros ho Mégas some would argue that the link was more direct than that. The Ash'ari school that was more similar to modern fundamental Islam gained prominence after the razing of Baghdad, and they believed that he Mongols were god's punishment for their liberal, open, scientific ways.
@@firmanimad If the sack of Baghdad was the coffin, the Ash'ari school is certainly the nails and Wahabii is being the deep dark hole where it is thrown into.
@@EloHellResident the Communists tried that theory out. In practice, people can still be dangerous violent extremists without religion. Sadly, there is no simple solution to human stupidity.

Ibn Rushd (1126-1198):
This great mind born in Andalusia, present-day Spain was an important philosopher and scientist, known in the Western world as Averroes. His influence on European thought tends to be forgotten by Arabs and Europeans alike. But in the 13th and 14th century Averroism was as influential as was Marxism in the 19th century. Ibn Rushd worked as a mediator between the Arabic and the Western world by commenting and interpreting Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato, making them accessible to Arabic culture. He considered Aristotle as ‘the Prefect Man’. He wrote extensive commentaries on Aristotle and earned the epithet of "The Commentator". “He expounded the Quran in Aristotelian terms. In many of his works, he also tried to mediate between philosophy and religion.
Religious leaders did not always praise his works; he was condemned for heresy by the Christian, the Jewish and the Islamic orthodoxy and his works were frequently banished and burnt. Ibn Rushd fell out of favor with the Caliph due to the opposition that theologians had raised against his writings. He was accused of heresy, interrogated and banned to Lucena, close to Cordova. At the same time, the Caliph ordered the books of the philosopher to be burnt, with the exception of his works on Medicine, Arithmetic and Elementary Astronomy (around 1195). Somewhat later the Caliph revoked the banishment and called Ibn Rushd back to Marrakesh. The works of Ibn Rushd also aroused admiration in Europe, even among those theologians who saw a danger for religious faith in his writings. In the 13th century, Ibn Rushd was condemned by bishops from Paris, Oxford and Canterbury for reasons similar to those that had caused his condemnation by the orthodox Muslims in Spain.
Abu Yaqub, the Caliph of Morocco, called him to his capital and appointed him as his physician in place of Ibn Tufail. His son Yaqub al-Mansur retained him for some time but soon Ibn Rushd's views on theology and philosophy drew the Caliph's wrath. All his books, barring strictly scientific ones, were burnt and he was banished to Lucena. However, as a result of intervention of several leading scholars he was forgiven after about four years and recalled to Morocco in 1198; but he died towards the end of the same year. Ibn Rushd was a liberal, an exponent of liberation of women and regarded “much of the poverty and distress of the times arises from the fact that women are kept like “domestic animals” or house plants for purposes of gratification”, of a very questionable character besides, instead of being allowed to take part in the production of material and intellectual wealth, and in the preservation of the same.
Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (780-850):
Al-Khwarizmi was born in Khwarizm (now Khiva) in Uzbekistan. He worked most of his life as a scholar in the house of wisdom (established by Caliph al-Mamun) in Baghdad. He was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and geographer. Some of his contributions were based on earlier Persian and Babylonian Astronomy, Indian numerals, and the Greek sources.
His "Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing" was the first book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. Consequently he was considered "father of algebra", a title he shares with Diophantus. Latin translations of his Arithmetic, on the Indian numerals, introduced the decimal positional number system to the Western world in the 12th century. He revised and updated Ptolemy’s Geography as well as writing several works on astronomy and astrology. His contributions not only made a great impact on mathematics, but on language as well.
Most of the positional base 10 numeral systems in the world have originated from India which first developed the concept of positional numerology. The Indian numeral system is commonly referred to the West as Hindu-Arabic numeral system, since it reached Europe through the Arabs.
History of Algebra: The Chinese, the Persians, and the people of India used algebra thousands of years ago. The Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks contributed to the early development of algebra. Al-Khwarizmi a teacher in the mathematical school in Baghdad, collected and improved the advances in algebra of previous Hindu and Arab scholars. His works included the translation of Greek and Sanskrit scientific manuscript.
Some words reflect the importance of al-Khwarizmi's contributions to mathematics. "Algebra" is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations he used to solve quadratic equations. Algorism and algorithm stem from Algoritmi, the Latin form of his name. His name is also the origin of (Spanish) guarismo and of (Portuguese) algarismo, both meaning digit.
According to the historian al-Tabari, al-khwarizmi was an adherent of the old Zoroastrian religion. Others considered him as orthodox Muslim. Nevertheless, Al-Khwarizmi never indicated that he was influenced by religiosity or he received any scientific theory out of Koran or hadiths.

The comparison with "Europe" during this period is an illusionary one. There was no such thing as Europe at that but rather the slow emergence of "Christendom" which came about as an alarmed reaction to the growth and vitality of the Islamic world.
