>discovered the practice of 9 year old brides

>implying greeks weren't buttfucking underage boys

A lot of those claims are questionable OP.

But it doesn't matter, because the Arab world of today is not the same, just like Greece and Italy isn't the same as it was 2000 years ago.

Are you saying one should accept the murder of homosexuals and the stoning of women, and the general subjugation of Islam in the Middle-East simply because 1000 years ago they had a more open and scientifically minded culture?

>Are you saying one should accept the murder of homosexuals and the stoning of women, and the general subjugation of Islam in the Middle-East simply because 1000 years ago they had a more open and scientifically minded culture?

Are you implying all arabs are exactly the same?

Roman does not mean "Arab".

Roman does not mean "non-White".

The Roman empire had technology that is still being rediscovered to this day.

>remind me why you hate Arabs

Because of their acceptance of Islam as the one true religion.

and norway isnt a shit country?

>Are you implying all arabs are exactly the same?

No? Arabs are people just like anyone else, it's their totalitarian religion that's the problem.

What's your point?

can you gib eggzamples ?

>No? Arabs are people just like anyone else, it's their totalitarian religion that's the problem.

My point is that arabs have done way more for society than most. And what would you know about religion? All yours did was get shit on by christians

Misleading. They shaped European philosophy in earlier times, which went on to shape modern European philosophy.

>>Discovered and named most stars as well as the Andromeda Galaxy
Many cultures did astronomy independently, they're not special for this, and we get our names for most of the old stuff from the Greeks.

>>Discovered the Earth was round
Most people new that the Earth was round. The ancient Greeks had a rough approximation of its size, and they were pretty close.

>>Refined our understanding of the cardiovascular and nervous systems

Don't know about this.

Debatable.

Many people did this.

If all your technological and social achievements are more than a millennia old you just might be a Arab.

>My point is that arabs have done way more for society than most

No they haven't. A brief period of scientific endeavor of 100 years, 1000 years ago, isn't "done way more for society than most".

Besides, most of the living Arabs today probably don't even know who Aristotle was, what the scientific method is, or any of the other things you mentioned.

Actually it was the Byzantine empire that did that, and when they fell in 1453, the scholars fled west from the mudshits and were the catalyst that started the renassiance, which cemented European dominance for several hundred years.

I'm not even going to bother with the rest since this is just a shitpost anyway, I just love debunking that myth every time I see it.

Ancient Egyptians worked with geometry before Greeks

Giza nigger

also arabs pushed trig so much farther than the greeks

they also perfected the greeks works

ibn kaldun created what can be considered the greatest medical textbook ever "The Canon of Medicine"

Egypt has the world oldest college

The point is, every race has a golden age

For whites it was ancient to late antiquity

for arabs it was the middle ages to renaissance

for asians it was ancient thru middle ages

for poo in loos it was late antiquity and ancient

but not niggers

>Actually it was the Byzantine empire that did that, and when they fell in 1453, the scholars fled west from the mudshits and were the catalyst that started the renassiance, which cemented European dominance for several hundred years.

>Al-Jayyani

How is that an argument? The process that brought to the development of calculus, while not initiated by Newton, was not initiated by Arabs either. It's an entirely European discovery
>Alhazen aka the worlds first true scientist
Says you

>Refined our understanding of the cardiovascular and nervous systems

This is bullshit. It was quite a common past time for surgical enthusiasts in Rome's heyday to examine both living and dead bodies. The mapping of the cardiovascular system and initial nervous system research was done by bored patricians who may or may not have been sadists.

Not to mention Romans/Greeks identifying germs and the spread of disease through lack of cleanliness. They might not have been able to see bacteria under a microscope but knew of the perils of not washing ones hands and keeping wounds clean and covered to stop infection.

Roman medicine in Marcus Aurelius's day was more advanced than the medicine practised by "doctors" anywhere else in the world up until the 19th century simply because they understood and took the effort to combat infection and the spread of disease with sanitation.

Something as simple as washing your hands before tending a wound so the patient didn't die of septicaemia and other complications days later is why you were better off dying the in the field than being treated by doctors in the US civil war only 150 years ago.

ITT:

Butt hurt edgy white people who can't accept the fact they they went through a dark age and arabs aka their worst enemy for the past 1300 years actually helped them and invented stuff that they still use today

>Ancient Egyptians worked with geometry before Greeks
Not Arabs. I never said greeks invented it, only that they were doing it before the Arabs, which means that the Arabs can't have invented it.

Never claimed in OP

>news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6389157.stm

Doesn't mean Arabs invented geometry. There's a reason the Pythagorean Theorem is called the Pythagorean Theorem.


>Isaac Newton is only given credit because muh eurocentrism
Who did it then?

>Alhazen aka the worlds first true scientist
There is no reasonable definition for scientist which makes him the first scientist, and him being a scientist doesn't mean he invented the scientific method. The scientific method was developed far later.

>It's an entirely European discovery
no it isnt calculus was first found in europe and just like greeks contributed to calculus , chinese and indians did explore calculus too . also alhazan sure wasnt the first "true scientist" but he did achieve alot in different fields including calculus and he was an arab
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhazen

Multiple people saved the works at different times. The different cultures took turns acting retarded about pagan writings, and when they were doing that the other guys would save them and make copies. I'm happy to give OP that, but he's still got a lot of bullshit in there.

i love arabs, but as far as passing on knowledge to (western) european, the true heroes are the byzantines. they preserved it.

Yeah, and Arabs barely do. Did you know that the entire Middle-East has translated less books the last 1000 years into Arabic than Spain translates in 1 year?

>The process that brought to the development of calculus, while not initiated by Newton, was not initiated by Arabs either. It's an entirely European discovery
This doesn't even matter. Newton forumlated Calculus. You can't give credit to all the people who did everything leading up to it, because that would essentially be almost every physicist and mathematician who's cultures had been in contact with the Europe by that point.

>calculus was first found in europe and just like greeks contributed to calculus , chinese and indians did explore calculus too
This is true, but the European discovery and development of calculus is arguably indipendent from the works on calculus made by Chinese, Indians or Arabs.
People around the globe indipendently discovered the same basic things about calculus, but for a reson or another only Europeans extensively developed it.

>look at all those things arabs discovered 3000 years ago.
>remind me why you hate arabs?

If they did all that and they are so great then why aren't westerners flocking to their countries?

They are darker skinned Jews

Like i said to the other guy

nice mental gymnastics

So youre saying the people who have adapted to living on the mediterranean and in the desert for the past 5000 years, the same enviorment arabs come from, arent arabs?

enjoy telling yourself that MUH GREEKS AND MUH ROMANS are the only ones who invented anything before AD

>the dark age applied to all of europe
The byzantines didn't suffer a dark age, and the dark age is called that because few people were literate and consequently there are few records. Historians are "in the dark" about much of what happened in that time.

>implying every civilization back then wasn't raping young people

dont bother. if you havent noticed arabs are the new nigs. they will try to rewrite history in their image and still talk about flat earth faggotry

Because America fucked up theirs for oil

sand niggers

You went through a Dark Age to

not everything stays gold forever

Fresh Klav Kalatsh

Roman sex culture (gay sex positions and stuff)

...

>in the dark about much of what happened in that time

Because there were not that many writing pieces

so we can assume that culture and intellectual thinking stagnated and/or declined during that time

fucking retard

Whos denying the dark ages?
And stop taking credit for Byzantine its just making you look silly.

This + Sage

>So youre saying the people who have adapted to living on the mediterranean and in the desert for the past 5000 years, the same enviorment arabs come from, arent arabs?
You're a fucking idiot. The arabs are a specific ethnic group within the middle east, and they aren't even the only one. Bedouins are not Arabs, Persians are not Arabs, Kurds are not Arabs. The Ancient Egyptions were not Arabs. They were a distinct ethnic group. Also, for fuck's sake, not all of the Middle East is a desert. The main desert is at the center of the peninsula. There are mountains, green coastal regions, grassy plains, etc.

>resorting to ad hominem because you cant disprove anything and ultimately know im right

wew lad

>stole shit
>remind me why you call them sandniggers?

>Long history of calculus of which arabs created integral.
Alhazean used a similar method to find a formula for the volume of a paraboloid, but did not develop on the concept of calculus or integrals.
The works on calculus done by people such as Newton, Leibnitz, Fermat & others was much more comprehensive, and did not include the works by Alhazean
>news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7810846.stm
Many people have been claimed to be "The Worlds first true scientist". Only because you found an article that says that HE was, doesn't mean it's true. One could easily argue that Aristoteles was the World's first scientist, too.

Only in western and central Europe.

too bad the Arabs didn't save that one for us

>Are you implying people live in and are accepting of the culture around them?
Leftist go and stay go

Aristotle was also saved by monasteries in Europe, and was only endangered by the Burning of the Library at Alexandria

Arabic numerals are based on an earlier Indian idea

Geometry is not Algebra

Neither is trigonometry

Calculus was invented by Isaac Newton

Scientific method was developed by Greek logicians

The stars were always charted dipshit. Just because Arabs ignored everyone else doesn't make them geniuses

Again the Greeks were the first to say it was a sphere which was proven by a Greek living in Egypt

Cardiovascular system not understood until Da Vinci

I've not heard this smallpox thing so we'll call it a suspension of judgement

First encyclopedia invented in France

First colleges invented in Europe

No evidence for the Architecture or Art given.
Try harder.

There's a distinction between those who expressed the same concept somewhere else in the worlds and might have influenced it or not, and those whose work was used by Newton and incorporated into his own theory.

Man what a retarded way to kill an animal.

berbers, kurds, turks etc dont live near the arabian peninsula to actually move there realistically during that time period

but arabs can

congratulations you played yourself

The only good thing to ever happen from the Byzantines was the Hagia Sophia and maybe greek fire

They invented the word algorithm, granted, but the greeks used the living fuck out of them.

dude, what? They built off of the greek ideas, and al hazan did wonders with optics and was a pioneer into *sphereical* geometry, but the greeks did the living hell out of that crap.

The Arabs were important, don't get me wrong, but they were merely part of the progression of western development. I actually really like the medieval Arabs. They were bro tier, but they weren't the harbingers of modern civilization, I'd argue that it was a continuous development, albeit progression went to different regions around the Mediterranean.

>congratulations you played yourself
Still missing the point. We literally know who the Ancient Egyptians were. The Coptics still uses a variant of the language in their churches. That's how the french deciphered the Rosetta Stone.

Avicenna was Persian. And, like almost all works from the "Islamic Golden Age", his talent was primarily in translating Ancient Greek into Arabic. The Canon of Medicine was a regurgitation of some of Galen's work (written eight hundred years prior).

Khaldun was substantially more influential, and actually an Arab, but once again a large portion of what has been attributed to him is simply translations of the works of his intellectual predecessors in Europe. Almost all of the Prolegomena's contents relating to politics are heavily borrowed from Aristotle, for instance.

This is a tired old meme

Why does the middle east suck?
Is it because America overthrew the Iranian government in the 50s in favor of the Shah, who oversaw the most prosperous period of Iranian history before being deposed in the 1978 Islamic Revolution?

Or is it because of 6000 years of all hating each other culminating in the British partitioning of the former Ottoman Empire into "nations" made on arbitrary lines which immediately went back to killing each other on ancestral grievances Including a half dozed wars against Israel making them all look foolish
A decade long invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets
A decade long war between the Iraqis and the Iranians after the Shah was deposed.
The shifting of the lands of the Palestinians
The shifting of the lands of the Hashemites
And the continual shitfest created by the Kurds who demand their own state but continuously are murdered by the Turks, the Armenians, the Iranians, the Syrians, an the Iraqis because none of them like the Kurds?

Go on.
