Loving your vid. I'd like to add that when TARIQ and his forces sailed into Spain, he was said to have BURNED THE BOATS so the small force knew that there was no turning back. This was in the year 711. Thus, the reason those numbers were and still are considered "lucky". (Thank you Tariq for 711 stores lol). In episode one, you noted Cortes burning his boats when reaching the Americas. I mentioned this because Tariq doing that in 711 is so legendary, that Cortes doing the same thing almost 1000 years later really brings this story full circle.

Both stories of Tariq and Cortex could have been made up. But the concept is interesting - both men were arriving in a new continent and about to fight an entrenched civilization for the glory of their own. Full circle indeed =)

Love this! In Portugal a lot of us are Mouros, as in Moors, as in Morenos, as in Mauri, as in Mauro specially in the South. Were not different from Berbers a.k.a. Amazyh. Almoravids, Almohads, Ummayad Caliphate (Muslim Moors). But you're right we live in Europe therefore are Europeans and Moroccans and Algerians live in Africa and therefore are Africans. None of both represent a single ethnicity, culture or religion. But both us as Moroccans and Algerians share not only berber blood as Phoenician blood (Levante - Lebanon) as Arabic blood (Ummayad Caliphate conquered everything from 1AD to 15th Century. From Mesopotamia (Persian Golf) to Egypt to Mahgreb to Iberian Peninsula. The Reconquista weren't battles between different ethnicities but religions. Both Portuguese Kingdom and Spanish Kingdom incorporated millions of Moors that converted from Islam to Christianity. Search one of our first navigators João Vaz Corte-Real and the Corte-Real Family. Well that's a Portuguese Moor. Persian/Arabic looking AF. You can see it Cristiano Ronaldo, Cancelo, Daniela Melchior, Daniela Ruah, Sara Sampaio, Nelly Furtado and so on so on. Zidane could be Portuguese. We got a lot of Zidanes, Benzemas and Salahs too. Best Regards from Portugal ❤🇯🇵🇨🇳🇮🇳🇲🇿🇦🇴🇬🇼🇸🇹🇨🇻🇲🇦🇵🇹🇧🇷

Also Marrakesh, the capital of the Almoravid dynasty named 'Moor-Akoush' Moor = Land, Akoush =The Almighty God of Berbers 'Amazighs'. Most Moroccans are descendants of Moors and you'll notice the big similarities between the architecture in Morocco and Andalusia.

About the collapse of visigothic kingdom: it was written into its bone. I mean, the problem of visigothic kingdom wasnt the lack of army reserves, it was its flawed governing and administrative system. As most of post roman kingdmon, visigothic was authoritian, integrated ang highly centralised. Meaning, deccision werent made by a large decision making board, but by a small court, and this small court was both the leaders of the army and the high officials of the kingdom. Also meant the local government werent run by locals, it was run by the mentioned court high officials. This system was good for the kings (helped him keep in power), but was fragile against major defeats. If a major defeat occured, then the kingdom lost its officials, so there werent anybody to start to organise a new army, defence of cities and towns. In contrary, the roman republic could survive all its major defeats by its political and administration system. Having a senate of some hundred man, many of them ex officials of the republic meant they had the potential men to appoint to reorganise the army and enforce the alliance even after a major defeat. And election held annually meant even the loss of members of senate was fastly replanished....

The Moors made The Mongols look like saints.

Flash Point History no problem, you deserve it! The only improvement I could think of would be a source list in the description, but I know it could get tedious to do that. In any case, thanks again! And whatever you do, keep posting :)

“The darkest pot of the kettle as far as the eye can see” The Moorish warriors

I’m glad to have come across your channel. I’m a visual learner and your explanations coupled with the images really engage my imagination and keep me locked in. Keep up the work! Will definitely be spreading the word. In reference to this episode, I’m curious as to where the name Moor comes from. You didn’t speak on the origins of the name.They just appear during their battle with the Visigoths.

Thank you so much! I’m really happy that you liked my video. I am like you, I believe that in order to really understand the history on must be able to visualize it. Thus, I spent a lot of time to create the Maps for the series. In reference to your question, I mentioned it in a previous episode. The term Moors Comes from the Roman name for the province of northwestern Africa - Mauritania . This area was heavily populated by the Berber tribes. Eventually the name was abbreviated to Moors.

@@Sovnarkom Numdia was a kingdom just to the SW of Carthage. It was integrated into the Roman Republic and later empire. I wouldn't know the exact specifics of how they were directly related. But I'd have to say that there must of been a lot of Berber tribes in the area that would later join the Islamic Conquest of the 7th century

@@FlashPointHx It seems like both the Mauri and Numidians were Berber people who spoke a mutually intelligible language but they formed separate states due to some geographic distinctions, predating the formation of Carthage. This separation continued through Cananite, Roman, Arab and European domination and exists today with the distinct Maghrebi power centers of Morocco and Algeria. I never understood what this deep-rooted political difference was, if it didn't extend to the spheres of language and religion.

Good video. I was surprised you mention the Salomon´s Table. There is a leyend which says after the batle of Guadalete, the remains of the King army was destroyed trying to protect the Table. There were some musluns writings about what happened after that, saying there was a confrontation between Tariq and Muza about the table. During the dicssion, Tariq broke a leg from the table an took it with him. For several generations, his family was welthy. Did ytou know this second part of the story?

I love this story - it’s obviously just a legend. I didn’t have time to mention the dispute between Tariq and Musa in detail - but yes that is what is supposed to have happened. Happy you liked the video!

My books are loosely based on the Moors. The main character and the villian are descendants from the opposing sides.

@@FlashPointHx you should watched it then, good series about early islamic history, at least from one side of history source,al-hadits (don't expect level of GoT production value of course), its available for free in its tv station youtube channel with english subs. There you will also saw, prophet Muhammad and the rashidin didnt command from a throne or palace like depiction in the painting from your series before , they mostly talk all political, economic and military inside the mosque of nabawi (which is didnt more than a field of sand with a roof made from dates leaves and poles from dates woods with wall made from mud all around ). The series also depicted how one of romans or persian ambassador that came to meet omar and asking around people of medina about the palace of the caliph and instead he was shown the way to mosque of Nabawi which is not more than looks like half finished wall of mud and Omar laid down, taking a nap under the dates tree in front side of the mosque bare chested due to tired after working in the market. Yes,there lies the answer of why Khaleed didnt reject the order of Omar that put him down from his ranks as the field general. Omar, like Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr gives example of humbleness and dignity as a leader among their people,an opposite of other leader at the time. Omar also never take from his spoil of war stakes and donate them all instead.

I’m really happy that you gave the series another chance. From someone who does not speak Arabic, it was hard for me to learn the words. There are certain sounds that I still have difficulty hearing. I reviewed all of the names with some friends who are native speakers. I even had one of my fans record the names and send them to me so I could practice. I felt like in time I got a little better. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

Naseer was a mawla, not a slave, and the mawla means a subordinate ally, and they are closer to being from the family, and they think of them as Musa bin Nusair and his father were from the loyalists of the Umayyads, but the slaves were not given a leadership position at all.

@lemonaid8678

Жыл бұрын

The word mawla is derived from the root و ل ي w-l-y , meaning "to be close to", "to be friends with", or "to have power over". Mawla can have reciprocal meanings, depending on whether it is used in the active or passive voice: "master" or "slave/freedman", "patron" or "client", "uncle" or "nephew", or simply friend.
