Great video, would like to see more of Mesopotamia.

Have been searching this for months. First from Voice of the Past about Baghdad under the Abbasids then jump straight to read the Yaqut scription, then the second time with the Al Muqaddimah and for whatever reason he still haven't upload the second part. Then accidentally come to this video, so thanks a lot.

Now we know where the Apple campus was inspired from.

The round city of Baghdad was built by a Zoroastrian Persian architect *Nobakht Ahvazi* and influenced by the 2nd Persian Empire aka the Sasanian Empire which had many round & radial cities like Ardashir-Khawarrah (Gor), Spahan (Modern Isfahan) and Darabgerd.

I guess this is where the creator of attack on titan got his inspiration from! It's exactly the same

The city wasn’t 12 miles in diameter. It was shy of 3 kilometers. So less than two miles.

this is amazing

Is there any clues, evidence left of the original rounded city or any structure? Is it known where it was originally? Can we get the coordinates (google Earth) so we can see it?

Baghdad nowdays are like completely different city, no remaining of older circular wall ever survived. The only parts that still exist are probably the foundation beneath the ground. But according to some iraqis commenters in other videos, there are some building from 12th century that are still there, standing and well. But I think many archeologists should really need to give their attention on the much more larger medieval city named Samarra that served as Abbasid second capital. A city of 5 km (3+ sq mi) wide and 16 km (10 sq mi) long. With the Caliphate Palace each had more than 1000 m (3000+ ft) long and another 1000 m (3000+ ft) wide respectedly, that was even bigger than forbidden city of China. Though impressive that might be, the site it self currently are in a very bad shape and in a bring of collapsed. Albeit many historical buildings are still there, but they are only cover far less than 5 % of the originals. In short, the site is really need to be protected at all cost and reconstructed ASAP before they are gone forever. The first time i read the fact about this city, my mind was blown away that even my obsession on finding the original shape of baghdad was collapsed in an instant. I meant the city of that size was pretty much a MONSTER size in the context of medieval world. And i think it's pretty much in the same league as the city of Angkor from Cambodia.

He's the problem. It is. While the Christian world has for the most part managed for the most part coexist peacefully for the last few decades (Obviously there are exception, but you get the point) the Islamic world is still heavily divided and fighting over religion, ethnicity, influence etc. Like its the medieval ages. Even in richer places like Qatar stuff like slavery and human trafficking happens. The Islamic world is stuck in the past and untill it sheds it's religious zealotism similar to what Turkey has done (Despite Erdoğan's best efforts Europe to reverse it) Europe and the rest of Asia will likley always be one step above them.

@reteguy7338

It's a city populations, not as a whole nation. And if you are talking about a capital city at a medieval time, than 2 millions are trully large. I've come a cross some section on some video on toughty2 channels that said about at around medieval time, earth populations as a whole was less than or around 5% compared to today population. So 2 million for a capital city was a really huge thing back than. But again it's a capital city, not as a nation as a whole. Meanings just because the a capital city is very overpopulated, doesn't guarantee that another part in the nation have a big population if the area doesn't support. Nowdays population of 2 million would probably considered to be just a quarter portion on some very large industrial city.
