Never forget, folks, that empires have been rising and falling since the dawn of civilization!
We westerners like to only think about the Roman Empire and the following dark age that followed its collapse 1600 years ago, but we should also realize that today's Middle East is suffering through a dark/Middle age of their own that was brought on after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire a mere century ago!
I have obviously oversimplified it with the time frame, but on the grand scale of time, this holds true.
Looking to the future, we could speculate that the US Empire is on the brink of collapse after it's relatively short reign but time will tell. as always

In today's world, we are the least developed race. I can't believe we are the successor of people who literally had knowledge of seven skies. By the way, you guys are the best, you cover almost all race, culture and traditions of the world in your videos. That's really great.

It's such a shame we in Europe only get to study the European history, starting from the Greeks. As if Arabic, Persian, Indian, African history didint exist at all. Thank you TedEd for letting us fill those educational gaps with your insightful videos

great topic, I love to see non-Muslims learn about the Golden Ages. But just a note, women DID also study and make science and religious careers back then, it was after that some slipped and refused women's rights!

Great effort, thank you.
Just as a matter of perspectives.
I don't like the word Medieval, maybe some parts of Europe lived In the midst of evils at that time, but I would use Middle Ages.

I have a genuine question. Why is the whole background text in Persian and not in Arabic? I was so surprised when I could read the whole thing.
