The Islamic Golden Age and The House of Wisdom DOCUMENTARY
history documentary we cover the Islamic Golden Age and the House of Wisdom. The video begins by tracing the life of Muhammad and the rise of the early Islamic Empire under the Rashidun Caliphate. We then follow its charge out into the wider world in wars against both the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire. Following this clash, the Umayyad Caliphate pushes the borders of the empire yet further east into India and west into Spain. This period saw the very beginning of change with the start of the translation movement. However it would be the rise of the succeeding Abbasids and the founding of Baghdad which truly kicked off the Islamic Golden Age.
At this point our history documentary focuses on the emergence of the House of Wisdom. What it was, who worked there, and what they accomplished. Finally we conclude with the fall of Baghdad and the tragic end of the Islamic Golden Age. Stay tuned for more medieval history!
