The Abbasid Caliphate Medieval History Documentary (750-833) mohsen: Unfortunately the documentary is full of mistakes. First of all neither Ma'mun nor Amin had the support of Shia Muslims. In fact, Shia Muslims were mostly concentrated in Medina at the time and considered this a war between two enemies. It is correct that Persians were more lenient toward Ma'mun though. But, Shia's religion started gaining ground in Iran few generations after this Civil War and at the time Iranian were mostly Sunni too. Also, there is a confusion between Fadl-Ibn-Rabi who was a known orthodox Arab loyal to Amin and Fadl-Ibn-Al-Sahl who was the newly converted Persian advisor of Ma'mun. Furthermore in the beginning there is a huge mistake in the historical time of Hussain Ibn Ali uprising. That uprising happened more then a century before Abbasid Caliphate was even founded and is the most important event in creating the modern day Shia religion. Getting this wrong puts entire documentary in doubt, since that is the one of the two most defining events in fights between Shia and Sunni Muslims that is going on to this very day.

The Abbasids are Turks / Persians And all the scholars and leaders from the Persians, Turks, Chaldeans, Sumerians, Syriacs, Assyrians, Jews,
and I didn't find a single Arab scholar
except Ahmed bin Hanbal He is not a scientist, thinker, philosopher, linguist, physician, mathematician, or historian with the mentality of Herodotus or the Chinese historians.

What so sad is that many of the so called Arabic sientist and poem writers were persians but had to take Arabic names and write in Arabic or they had big problems, likely they were killed if they could not speak Arabic. and now because people dont know much we call them Arabic sientist or poem writers.

I think the translation of Greek knowledge into Arabic being its only saviour is a commonly held fallacy and simply untrue. what about the eastern Roman Empire / Byzantium or indeed plenty of westerners like the Holy Roman Empire too. knowledge was not just simply lost or abandoned in a dark age

It is said the books of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad were so numerous, the Mongols used them to construct makeshift bridges for their army to cross.
Apparently this is the origin of the saying the rivers turned black for days due to the ink used.

reply

It did not matter that the Latin and Greek was translated to Arabic because the European Renaissance started when scholars went into Christian monasteries and rediscovered Roman and Greek texts. The Arabs had nothing to do with Europe's reawakening.

Beautiful presentation. Thank you. Also like the British accent. Three defining moments in history, the fall of Baghdad, the fall of Constantinople, and the fall of the Ummayad Caliphate in al-Andalus(Spain, not to mention Carthage and others.

Imagine comparing Raid to the best console and PC titles out there
Even if it is a sponsor spot and they sponsored a great video, those are still claims that one would not expect a historian to make.

It only shows half of Sicily under their control. They had the entire Island until Robert Giskard and his brother drove them out with a small army and incredibly gutsy strategy.
reply

Its AD and BC. Nobody wants C and CE. Im really over this. Get with it dude. This clown shit has me unsubscribing. Cant take history from a dude who can't get right with AD/BC.
reply

People often think the separation of religion and the state began in Europe. However this is not true, it began with the Abbasids with the creation of the role of Vizier.
reply

If only Christians and Muslims made an alliance against the threats from the east rather than raiding, enslaving and crusading against each other respectively.
reply

If we talk about the origin of the Abbasids, they are not Arabs from the Nejd desert or the wasteland of Hejaz or the desert of Sham

Shame they burned the Baghdad Library, they must've had copies from other ancient libraries like from Alexandria.
reply

The dark age, also called the muslim golden age. We got the ball & chain, and the sub Saharan slave market, good job.

I like his brand of UK English so much that i can forgive his pronunciation of the word dynasty.
