Original Note:
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. Video is 99% wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visigothic_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reccopolis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Andalus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_renaissances https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/who-were-moors https://www.medievalists.net/2022/05/dark-ages/ https://www.getty.edu/news/no-such-thing-as-the-dark-ages/ https://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2019/05/25/debunking-the-so-called-dark-ages/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-myth-of-the-dark-ages-ignores-how-classical-traditions-flourished-around-the-world-180982190/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_university https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrasa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap#Roman_Empire https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1731865574248948098 https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1724028943324373228 https://twitter.com/TimONeill007/status/1694816860674609562 https://x.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1865454710733381971 https://twitter.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1641588288887685126 https://www.famsf.org/artworks/the-bath https://exarc.net/issue-2024-3/at/experimental-exploration-earliest-soapmaking https://www.medievalists.net/2022/12/scientific-facts-black-death/ https://youtu.be/RdNCVCKL6Rg?si=1mQpnApVpkQi0Agn
