At a time when Europe had a mere two universities of any merit, the Moors had constructed more than 17 great universities, 800 public schools, numerous colleges and bookstores.
Moorish Spain had more than 70 public libraries, of which the one in Cordoba had a collection of 600,000 books. Students from France and England travelled there to study philosophy, science and medicine.
During the dark ages in Europe, the Black Moors were living in splendid palaces of highly polished marble and elaborately carved walls, with beautiful mosaic floors, while European kings (England, France, and Germany) were living with farm animals in big, cold, damp barns which lacked windows and chimneys.
The Black Moors built more than 300 public baths, introducing Spain to underwear and bathing with soap, at a time when taking a bath was thought to be a diabolical practice and regarded as a sin. Human waste was simply thrown into the streets because there were no bathrooms available.
In addition to 700 mosques, the Moors also constructed magnificent cities in Spain, but the incredible city of Cordoba was the most majestic with half a million inhabitants dwelling in over 113,000 homes. There were also well-paved roads with elevated sidewalks for pedestrians.
