Europe already had all the things mentioned in this video long before the Moors invaded. Historians no longer say dark ages, Moors didn't cause the Renaissance, literacy rate wasn't 99%, Moors had zero universities.

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1888554253578317930
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
