Golden Ages
Almost everyone thinks that the Greeks and Romans invented everything that led to the industrial revolution in the modern world. The Orient has been assumed as a part of the world which was all mud, disease, death, and destruction with marauding mobs of barbarians ripping down the good of former civilization, burning and plundering as they went, nothing of any worth was invented? In a period considered to be the darkest of all in Europe, Dark ages or should be known as Golden ages, there was a part of the Orient which has the greatest impact on the industrial revolution. By omitting this fact from the dialogue of modern medicine, medical researchers are reinforcing the narratives of western superiority. Some of the inventors and their achievements will be highlighted.
In the Muslim civilization that stretched from Spain to China, the golden rays of discovery and invention shone over everything. Through scholars and scientists of various faiths and backgrounds, some of the most important discoveries known to man were made at this time, discoveries that drew on the knowledge of …show more content…
People like: Al-Jazari, an engineer and ingenious inventor who made some groundbreaking advances in engineering. The most significant discovery converted rotary motions into linear motions, using the crank and connecting rod. It is essential in pumps and engines that drive every plane, train and automobile on the planet. Without such a device, industrial revolution could not have happened hundreds of years later. Ibn Al Haytham, another great scientist whose ideas led to the invention of the camera, he laid the foundations for modern cameras by explaining how our eyes work, he found a way of projecting an image onto another surface through small hole in a dark room – later called, camera Obscura. There are several of the things that evolved from this discovery- cameras, cinemas all share the same
