The Abbasids: Islam's Golden Age (All Parts)

In the 8th century Middle East, a new dynasty seized control of one of the world’s greatest empires – the Islamic Caliphate. Though little remembered in the west today, the Abbasids reigned for five centuries. They oversaw an era of Islamic military dominance... city-building… brilliant scholarship, and technological innovation. It has come to be remembered as Islam’s ‘golden age’. This is the rise and fall of the Abbasid Caliphate.

What did you learn about the Abbasids? And what other lesser-known period of history needs more attention? Let us know in the comments!

[The_Daily_Tomato]

I may be a European atheist, but the sacking of the house of wisdom and the near destruction of Baghdad remains for me as one of the saddest moments in world history.

[nght_chf]

It is always so tragic to hear about the cities, architecture and libraries being destroyed throughout history. So much knowledge has been lost

[Haka]

This documentary opens my mind to go deeper into more exploration of the Islamic history, especially the books. Thanks.

[tabshoura]

As an Arab, I thank you. You've added nuance to historic events, which enriched my understanding.

[OreogudN]

There's no channel like yours, the narration, the script, the overlay just absolutely splendid. Keep up the good work

[mickeven]

This is why learning history is important….nuance.

[Blackzerowi]

The music, animation and the mesmerising voice of narrator..this is just perfect to watch and truly epic .
Thank you.

[timsexton]

Thankd for this. This channel is one of the reasons why I favor the YT platform over traditional MSM or TV media.
*_TRUST !!_*

[NadeemHayek]

A ‏shiver runs through me each time I hear how the newly Muslim state conquered both the great Byzantine and Sassanid empires in just few years while they both have tried to conquer each other for centuries. This is unprecedented in history

[romanStillmatic]

You can make anything watchable I swear to god I watched 80% of your videos 5-15 times

[MohamedGomri-qh]

THIS was one of the most informative and most entertaining 47 mins. you outdone yourself Epic History you’ve raised the bar way up there.

[PUZZEL.Ai.History]

شكرا على المحتوى الرائع والثري بالمعلومات، أحسنت في تلخيص خمسة قرون كاملة من تاريخ المسلمين. أرجو أن تتابع تقديم مثل هذا المحتوى الممتع والمفيد.

[mirali]

The narrator is so good with a great voice. The history is objective and shows how people of same faith can fight with each other for power.

[banjiakintoye]

A MESMERIZING PORTRAYAL OF ONE OF THE GREATEST ERAS OF HUMAN HISTORY. AWESOME

[Saadabbasi-bw]

May Allah bless you, this is the history of our ancestors and you made my heart happy by describing it in these golden words.

[MohammadAhmadNaz-jyfi]

The Abbasids: Islam's Golden Age (All Parts). Thank you very much for your video about the Islamic Golden Period. From the UK.

During the Second Gulf War, museums and archeological sites were sacked before the complacent eyes of American Soldiers, who were much more interested in guarding the Ministry of Petroleum. Thousands of ancients pieces disappeared for good while the Western media turned a blind eye on it. Some things never change.
