Click here to visit this great online exhibition. Europe almost didn’t survive it’s early Christian seclusion. Most knowledge of the romans and Greeks had been lost, science and exploration grinded to a total stop. Good thing that the Muslims / Arabs kept the Light of Knowledge burning. Europe had to re-import all that old knowledge via trade with the Muslims with Italy or Spain. This restarted the European spirit - the Renaissance heralded a new era.

So enjoy and explore this interesting exhibition that shows how advanced the Arab / Muslim world was. Too bad they also had their falldown and still haven’t recovered the cultural and scientific greatness they once had.
