Ew, ads! Want to see this without ads, earlier, along with exclusive content? Go to https://nebula.tv/videos/cogito-the-history-of-baghdad-the-metropolis-of-the-medieval-world
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.
