The History Of Baghdad: The Medieval World's Greatest City
Ew, ads! Want to see this without ads, earlier, along with exclusive content? Go to nebula.tv/videos/cogito-the-h...
Baghdad is home to 7 million people. This sprawling urban jungle is the second largest city in the Arab world after Cairo. But between the skyscrapers and honking cars you can see remains of this city's magnificent mediaeval past. This once Round City’s walls crumbled long ago. But a thousand years ago brilliant scientists, architects, writers, and merchants of different races and religions made massive contributions to the knowledge of humanity. Back when Paris and London were home to 20,000 people over 1 Million Baghdadi's lived here among canals, libraries, and palm trees.
So what is the history of Baghdad, what’s a House of Wisdom, and what does it all have to do with Mediaeval Robots trying to get people drunk?
This video was researched and written by Deborah Oliveira.

Hmm then think of all the other cities that Arabs got to ruin.
Fun fact: When Charlemagne had the Pope crown him the first Holy Roman Emperor in 800 AD, Baghdad was at its peak as a great global city. Tales of the splendor and magnificence of Baghdad were so widespread that they reached Charlemagne's ears. Wanting a bit of that Baghdad magic to rub off on him, Charlemagne ordered that a new palace be built for him in Aachen, the capital of his empire. At its peak this capital of mostly wooden structures had only about 10,000 people, a mere neighborhood within the teeming 1 million metropolis that was Baghdad. It was a round palace built in stone instead of wood, imitating everything Charlemagne had heard about the "Round City" and the Abbasid caliphs with their marvelous round buildings. That palace, small and circular, still stands in Aachen today.

Baghdad was a great experience of an urban metropolis before the age of Industry. million people living there, urban planning of the city-skape, modern hospitals, research facilities, multi-cultural hubs etc..... their transportation system was still under-developed, with horses and carriages, there were no electricity, no electonics, and had an authortrian government, but aside from that, it would feel like a modern city, like New York, or Hong Kong, or London etc...

The destruction of Baghdad by the Mongols is an event that brings tears to my eyes every single time. Much like the library of Alexandria, so much history, so much knowledge, wiped off the face of this earth, pushing humanity back 1000 years. To anyone who loves topics like these, there is a book called "Science and Islam" by Ehsan Masood, it is very insightful, and details the achievements of Muslims since the birth of Islam.

I really enjoyed this video. How magnificent places like Baghdad, Alexandria, and others were in their day. Old civilizations were much richer than most people realize.
I’m extremely impressed with what I see especially those animated shots of the city and suburbs that was incredible.

I really wish Patreon had a one-time contribution option to say extra thank you for videos like this one - Great quality & content. LOVED every minute of it - well except the 30 seconds where the rivers ran red & black with the blood of the people and the ink from libraries :(
