The Myth Of the Dark Ages (to hide the Moors' massive contribution to Science and Art)

[Dzali OG]

Moors weren't black tho, they were Berbers who were ruled by Arabs. All the leaders were Arabs.

Can you tell us what the word "moor" mean?

They were Muslims..but Mulsim isnt exclusive to Arab (though nowadays I wish it was)..the Moors were a mix.
Mansa Musa was a Muslim but Black..
smh at you gleefully handing your history to those camel fukkers on a plate.

Any idea on where i can find historical documents or books on the moors 700 year reign?

Golden Age of the Moors - Ivan Van Sertima

EDIT: Here's an article you can start with The History And the Age of The Moors in Spain: How The Moors Civilized Europe - The History of Africa

OP speaks the truth

I went to an elementary/middle school in the Middle East run by the British and Dutch embassies. We were taught about all the English monarchs, Intra-Euro conflicts and the Viking culture century by century in great detail. Then they reached the dark ages and jumped several hundred years with nothing to say about that time. Even as kids, we could tell something was up with that.

also back then when referring to the Arab race of today, they used the word Saracen

and the word Arab was used to interchangeably with Muslims who were Arabic speakers

so for example Persians were also called Arabs, and so were the Moors of Spain

thats why so many people to this day still think the Moors weren't black

Ibn Hazm is most well known for being the father of comparative religions and hes a philosopher but he was a polymath which means he was a master of multiple areas of study, he also studied astronomy and physics. He wrote 400 books but only 40 survived

Ibn Hazm supported the view that the Earth was a sphere, and he is known to have started his debate by stating verses from the Quran: "He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night" (Zumar;5)- the word "to make [something] overlap" here, in Arabic kawwara ( كَوَّرَ ), is derived from kura( كُرَة ), which means "ball" or "sphere". And after detailed studies using celestial globes he concluded proof, and the now astronomer Ibn Hazm stated publicly that: "the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth". Ibn Hazm's proof inspired generations later on including the geographer al-Idrisi, who depicted the world as a globe

Ibn Hazm's views on sound is that it travels at specific speeds. He gave examples of echo inside the Mosque of Córdoba to prove his statements; among the examples he proposed was the reference to the interval between lightning and the thunder that follows it. He also implicitly believed that lightning causes thunder.

Ibn Hazm also presented a notion on Dynamics regarding the "nature of motion of bodies". Ibn Hazm explained that: "there are mobile objects and stationary objects, but there is no motion nor staticness"

nah out of a total of 9 crusades, the europeans lost basically everyone (Unless you count the first where they took Jerusalem unexpectedly with no real opposition)

the humiliation of the crusades was a big part of the resentment that lead to the schism of Christianity and the emergence of Protestantism. they were tired of being sent to war by the Pope and humiliated

Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.

The Spanish Inquistion was what you're probably referring to, where all the Moorish people were expelled from Spain and everything that wasn't related to Christianity was illegalized
