The Arab Empire was a theocratic state!
In the early days of the empire, it was undoubtedly a very effective system, and thoughts and actions could be highly consistent
In just a few decades, this super empire was quickly established, spanning three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa
The territories conquered by the Arab Empire included the eastern Mediterranean, Persia, Egypt, the Spanish Peninsula, the Transcaucasia, Central Asia and West Asia, and vast areas east of the Indus River
It is one of the empires with the largest east-west span in the world's ancient history, with a land area of 13.4 million square kilometers
The Islamic world we see now is relatively backward and conservative
Let their development stagnate
But in the early days the Arab Empire was a completely different face,
In Europe, the people are in deep water, there is no day, after today may not have a time for tomorrow
The people of the Arab Empire were bright, prosperous and stable, full of momentum for the future
First of all, during the period of the Arab Empire, medicine was greatly developed, and many new medical works appeared, and many new medical theories were born.
As a result, the average life expectancy of the people of the Empire, whether they were nobles or ordinary people in the imperial palace, increased to a certain extent on average.
And their Arabic medicine and our Datang Chinese medicine exchange and study with each other. It has promoted the common progress of both sides
And the voyages of the Arab Empire around the world, in Europe, fell into a period of thousands of years of darkness.
The age of great navigation was dominated by them and another world power.
The other is our Chinese Empire
But one thing to be clear. The Arabic numerals that we all use every day are not invented by the Arabs.
Her inventor was an ancient Indian, and it was the Arabs who brought him out of the world. So when other civilizations came into direct contact with the Arabs, they thought that this was what they had invented.
This is a major proof that the Arab Empire sailed the world to do business, and also promoted the exchange of world civilizations
The most important feature of the Arab Empire's being used by other ancient empires was: [their astronomical calendars were very advanced]
And with the strengthening of trade, relevant astronomical knowledge has also entered our lobby.
It has also promoted the development of our Chinese astronomy, especially the manufacture of astronomical instruments
Together with our Datang culture, he has led the world for more than a thousand years.
