[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]even then they were freed from their renewed state of catatonia by the moors (Afrasians) - twice enlightened......with their first universities and even running water....even windows at their homes were brought during the dark ages from afar...not to mention bathing.....(lol)[/QUOTE] You can also look at as the demise of Africans and the beginning of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The Moors only preserved Greco-Roman classics and transported Asiatic technology[irrigation[from Persians],Arabic numerals[really from Hindus],lateen sails[was used in the east before the West]. I am willing to bet that without Moorish intervention that Europeans would have never developed the sea power or developed into the Age of Exploration. Sometimes bringing civlization to people is not always the best. The Moors should have stayed in their own countries and developed them. Prince Henery the Navigator asked the Moors about where their gold came from,and he told them and showed them exactly where it came from. Most people don't know that Moors[your heroes] were importing slaves from Timbuktu and other Saharan slave routes. Look up the Trans-Saharan slave route[it did not offically end untill 1950's in Libya] However, what you are glossing over is the Byzantine Empire. Unlike the Northern-Western Europeans, the Byzantines still had thriving schools and recieved technology and ideas from the east. [/QB][/QUOTE]
