BBC Documentary - An Arab Islamic History of Europe

[ArabianEmpires&Caliphates]

You know it is bullshit, when the first thing you read on the title is ... "BBC" the very first News Network of the Zionist-Swines, the epitome of lies and deception. Now the trick is, to detect the lies wrapped in half truths. They are masters of misleading the world to follow their narratives. Never trust these old-farts, they have no dignity, no morals and are rotten at the core. But they put on quite a show, displaying themselves as some benevolent, honor stricken, halo wearing imbeciles.

BBC is trash indeed but at times even a blind hen sometimes finds a grain of corn.

Just a tiny glimpse. Not to mention the huge influence of Arab/Semitic civilizations/civilizations native to the Arab world that Rome received after interactions and before that what the neighboring Greeks were exposed to. No wonder that this relationship continued so many millennia later.

Ironically the best kept (and largest) Roman artifacts, for instance colosseums, are found in the Arab world today.

The armor and sword of the last Sultan of Granada, Muhammad XII of Granada.

The armor has clear European influences. Probably ceremonial more than anything else but it looks really cool.

The last Muslim ruler in Iberia that was deposed in 1492 when the Reconquista was completed after 800 years of Arab Muslim presence in Iberia (Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar).

He was part of the Nasrid dynasty that ruled the Emirate of Granada from 1230 until 1492. It was the last remaining Muslim dynasty in Iberia when it got conquered in 1492. The Nasrid dynasty descended from the Banu Khazraj of Madinah (Hijazi).

It was a successful dynasty with significant artistic, scientific and economic prosperity.

Most famously the dynasty built the magnificent Alhambra Palace (a World Unesto Heritage Site) which is one of the most visited tourist sites in Spain and one of the most iconic palaces/castles in the world.
