It was a time of unprecedented developments in the fields of geometry, medicine, astronomy, philosophy, arts, algebra, and many others, as scholars from across the known world came to Baghdad, Cairo, Cordoba, and other major Islamic cities to practice and hone their crafts.

Truly they did a lot for medical science that is going under-appreciated today. Also nearly nobody in the West knows they preserved the thoughts and teachings of Greco-Roman philosophers, which is darkly, comically ironic. I'm no massive fan of Organised Religion in general, and very aware of the horrors done in it's name. It wasn't Religion who invented the Nuclear Warhead however. This problem of committing grotesque acts in the name of Justice is a higher, bigger problem than merely religion or science or atheism or economic / political beliefs.
It's all of them and more in the ludicrous Humanity VS Humanity Infighting of the Ideology Wars. Time for our species to stop being moody combative teenagers and grow up. Or we're doomed.
Thank you
"Yes, but apart from surgery, optics, chemistry, alchohol, algebra, names for multiple stars in astronomy, bringing numbers and paper to Europe, saving multiple Greek and Roman philosophical manusicripts, what have Arabs gave to us?"
ISLAMIC GOLDEN AGE!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT THAT PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH MATHS. WE WERE FINE WITH ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION AND SUCH. BUT NOOOO! YOU JUST HAD TO INTRODUCE LETTERS COULDN'T JUST LEAVE IT WELL ENOUGH ALONE! A POX ON YOUR HOUSES FOR 100 YEARS. STARTING IN 1100…
Yeah but the amount of documents destroyed by Islam during this time is unmatched. More knowledge was lost here than even WWII.
Greeks should be credited for atuomons since they created basically the first computer. Islams religion much like it's "golden age" is just plagerism and using other peoples ideas as and say it's their own.
Algebra is just a stolen work off previous Greek version of algebra and the stolen Indian numerals and mathematics.
Funny the Italian Renaissance only started when the byzantine refugees were coming to Italy, bringing with them their knowledge… Knowledge the Eastern empire already had, way before the Muslims even existed.
The Renaissance was a result of this flood of refugees, check the timeline they match up exactly.
And then the Arab world just stopped their rapid expansion of knowledge , why?
Give it a few hours and this comment section is going to get really ugly.
Pity that their culture hasn't really produced anything of note in the last 200 years besides problems and headaches.
Can you cover the Golden Age of Jersey Shore next? Many people don’t know it was the birth place of Alge-Bro.

One of the Islamic scholars who most interests me is Ibn Rushd, Latinized to Averroes, from Cordoba. He was another of those Islamic polymaths who wrote works on philosophy, theology, medicine, astronomy, physics, psychology, mathematics, Islamic jurisprudence and law, and linguistics. He was heavily influenced by Aristotle and in turn his commentaries and extensions of Aristotle's works, translated by Jewish scholars, made their way to medieval, pre- and early Renaissance courts in Europe. Thomas Aquinas learned Aristotle from Ibn Rushd's detailed commentaries on Aristotle's works and called him simply: The Commentator.
For anybody wondering why us Muslims stopped innovating, it's because we have embraced an addiction: infighting.

By "Golden age of Islam" you mean when they stole things from India and the Romans?
“Between wealth and knowledge, choose knowledge. Wealth must be looked after; knowledge looks after you.” – Hazrat Ali
The thing that hampered the spread of Islam was the non adoption of the guttenberg printing press

I never knew about these except for algebra.
and now backward
I say 'zee', you say 'zed'.
Nothing since then…just like the rest of the other "old" cultures.
The one thing I took away from this is that Arabic culture found a lot of innovations wherever they conquered and unlike Christianity they didn’t burn knowledge they built on it
11: "insert name of any remotely detonated explosive device"
Ah yes, so stolen byzantine innovations are now major islamic inventions?
Islam has never created anything of value in science. Brilliant scientists in the arab world innovated some great things. The religion had nothing to do it anymore than Da Vinci's inventions were "Christian inventions". Science and religion are two opposite schools of thought.
Odd religion, Islam. Spend half a millenia+ advancing science, medicine and technology, and then spend the rest of it's existence denying it as sinful western satanism. Whish they'd make their minds up! 😂
Thanks for the great and informative video. With so much anti-Muslim sentiment in the world, I hope this video helps to show the importance of some of their contributions to the world.
Wait… The man that invented the method of using sand to make clear glass was named Furnace? Which is not a Islamic/Arabic word…. I wonder where he got the idea to get into the glass making industry….
nice propaganda, the only thing they invented is goat sex and beaheadings
"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
In addition, they developed the first universities!
I always wondered who was the evil man responsible for algebra and now I know (I’m terrible at maths!).
The golden age of Islam and its scholars gave us so much! Why isn’t this taught in schools?
Very interesting video! Well done Simon and team 😊👏🏻💯🙌🏻🔥
Dude damascus steel is still a thing, its often replicated but people act like the knowlage is lost to time. Ive made it myself, i had to take a class and its hard but not mystical or impossible.
Are you sure it's Islam and not Arab? As far as I know, Islam is "kill the infidel" and it started with Mohamad when the Europeans, lead by the Catholic Church, decided to take back their countries from the Arab invaders. (Don't call me stupid, if I'm wrong. It's ignorance.)
I also notice that no women are listed among those who contributed to the Golden Age of Islam.
Was their extremist religion the reason the golden age ended ?
Theyve done nothing but fight and destroy each other now for the last 500 years no innovating at all since their golden age. A religion of barbarism and extreme suffering. The religion has not changed at all since the era of the crusades. Their "culture" is one of oppression and murder as well as sucking every dime out of any profitable business or natural resource. Slavery is alive and well within the Islamic culture and it sure as hell isnt one worth celebrating today. They have destroyed more history and knowledge in the last 20 years than the Europeans did in 200.
Algebreh😑
Islam and SHARIA law is the most evil thing on earth the quran is the most evil book ever written Islam didn't invent anything Islam stole everything it has Islam is guilty of more genocides and crimes against humanity than all others .this guy is a liar
I think it would be the annihilation of Baghdad and subsequent shift in theological thought towards the sciences is what caused the end of this era.
America is probably at the end of its scientific era considering half its population supports fascist regimes and anti-scientific thought. I doubt America will be a place of scientific achievement for too much longer.
The method of making wootz/true damascus steel has been re discovered. Theres a guy named fz knives here on youtube who specializes in making it.
Islamic mathematicians also made considerable contributions to geometry, especially spherical geometry. And of course astronomy, which is why so many star names are Arabic.
Islamic state in Syria, sharia law, Suicide bombing, ethnic cleansing, honour killings, radicalizing practices and women are 2nd class citizens.
Islam didnt contribute anything to mankind, it was stolen from the other civilizations conqured by the islamists
From the golden ages back too the dark ages, shame islmn didnt evolve with the times, imagine what those countries could have been. They could have had the greatest scientists and thinkers ever with the headstart they had.
Clinical tribes?
