Shocking images of Black African rule in Europe!

Can somebody tell me why we do not teach this glorious African history to Nigerian youths?

Moors are islamic fighters from north Africa and Saharan countries of Mali, Senegal, Morocco, Mauretania,Tunisia, Algeria, Ethiopia, Niger, Libya, etc who invaded Spain, Greece, and other parts of Europe, conquered and forced them to accept islamic rule between 700CE and 1460CE. Islam is moribund and doesn't innovate. As a result, the Europeans who were Christians were able to innovate, experienced an industrial revolution and with their futuristic technologies, were ale to dismantle the black Muslims and push them out of Europe. The moors were a mixture of peoples but especially blacks, then small number of Arabs from Yemen.

You are talking absolute RUBBISH AND GARBAGE.

It was Moorish presence in Europe that brought about the European RENAISSANCE or 'rebirth' after a millennia of European stagnation that followed the fall of Rome.

It was the Moors who brought literacy back to Europe, and established libraries and universities where there were none.

These were black scholars educated in African universities like Sankore University in Timbuktu, Mali Empire (establIshed 7th Century AD). They stormed Europe and began running things there for over 800 years up till the 16th century!!

The Moors introduced paper to Europe. They invented the Astrolabe, for navigation, and introduced the compass from China. They took architecture to a whole new level. Many other things. How dare you?

The only reason they fell was because Europe had become sufficiently educated and exposed following MOORISH INFLUENCE THERE, and then used their overwhelming population advantage to dislodge the Moors, who of course were a foreign minority. It had NOTHING to do with any 'superior technology' of the largely illiterate Europeans. The Moors were the owners and masters of technology of the day.

- Pioneered the concept of zero, critical for modern mathematics.

3. Medicine & Health

- Built hospitals and medical schools, including the one in Córdoba, the largest in medieval Europe.
- Practiced advanced surgery techniques, including cataract removal and dental care.
- Introduced herbal medicine and pharmaceuticals, writing medical encyclopedias that were used in Europe for centuries.

4. Architecture & Urban Planning

- Designed beautiful palaces, mosques, and fortresses, like the Alhambra in Granada.
- Introduced water irrigation systems, enabling advanced agriculture in Spain.
- Built streetlights, public baths, and underground water channels, improving hygiene and city planning.
- Used mosaics, arches, and intricate geometric designs, influencing Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

5. Agriculture & Engineering

- Introduced crops such as oranges, lemons, rice, and sugarcane to Europe.
- Revolutionized farming with terrace agriculture and advanced irrigation techniques.
- Developed windmills and water wheels, increasing agricultural productivity.

6. Philosophy & Literature

- Translated and preserved the works of Plato, Aristotle, and Ptolemy, shaping European thought.

You are too arrogant everytime you comment on people post. Please work on your personality complex. You have this superiority complex that makes you proud, arrogant and talk down on people. At your spare time, go through all your comments to other people's post on nairaland and notice the way you talk. You need healing

The moors are Muslim - undisputed fact
Muslims invasion of Europe was religiously driven - undisputed fact

The moors introduced different kinds of architecture, medicine, music - I agree with you

The moors didn't invent what they introduced to Europe.

Moors were predominantly black Muslims but there were also few Muslim Arabs among them that invaded Europe. - undisputed fact

By virtue of the islamic wars which began with Mohammad in 600BC, the Muslims travelled as far as India, china, Russia, Pakistan, Egypt, Mali, turkey, Ethiopia, Spain for wars. That gave the Muslims ie black moors and few Yemeni and north Africa Arabs the needed exposure that the Europeans lacked. The Muslim invaders brought university education from Egypt, learned music, and brought crops from different parts of the world that Muslims have previously invaded. They learned that compass from some other part of the world and brought it to Europe.

If the moors were innovators, why couldn't they innovate their home countries in Africa or why did the Europeans innovate and outpace them eventually? Moors simply brought what was already existing from all parts of the world Muslims invaded into Europe. They didn't innovate and weren't capable of innovating. Islam is not innovative but primitive. North African science, medicine, art, education, etc stopped growing from the time of the Mohammadans took over north Africa. North Africa was doing better than Europe before then. No body argues that

The Moors invented the Astrolabe, and advanced irrigation systems among numerous other things, and established the first modern universities in Europe.

The Moors invented the number ZERO. As a mathematical number, for calculations and mathematical equations without which most of the technology you see today would be NON EXISTENT.

HOW DARE YOU CLAIM THEY WERE NOT INNOVATIVE?

Why didn’t your white “innovators” build universities before the Moors invaded? Why were they all illiterate, including their kings?

Africans established universities in the Middle Ages. The Mali Empire had over 30 universities, while Europe had none till the Moors got there and began building universities in Spain and Portugal.

The Moors ruled for 800 years. At what point did the white serfs you worship turn “innovators”?

After 500 years of Moorish rule?

Or after 700 years?

Rubbish.

If they were as “innovative” as you claim, the Moors would not have RULED them for 800 years uninterrupted.

The colonial era in Nigeria was 80 years.

So Moorish rule there was TEN TIMES LONGER than the colonial era in Africa.

So what “innovators” are you talking about in the subjugated white population?

The only reason the Moors were dislodged was the same reason the British were dislodged from Nigeria in 1960.

The natives, following long association with the invaders, had finally “opened eye”, and knew what the invader knew, and used their natural rights to the land and overwhelming majority to remove the invaders.

Simple. End of Story.

Take your little racist, white-worshipping garbage and stick it up where the sun don’t shine.

Who told you there was a person called Muhammad in 600 BC?

He was born at least 1,000 years after that date.

Also, asking “why did the Moors not innovate in Africa?” shows your lack of understanding of the fact that for 800 years, Europe WAS in effect ‘AFRICA’. And was the playground for the West African elite.

Europe was a continent with HUNDREDS OF AFRICAN KINGS and THOUSANDS OF AFRICAN NOBLES.

THE BLACK NOBILITY.

Europe WAS “Africa” for all intents and purposes.

As early as the 12th century, over 200,000 Africans lived in Spain alone!

So THAT PLACE was ‘AFRICA’ for them.

Why would they leave the bountiful, fertile land they had conquered, with its conducive Mediterranean climate and environment, and strategic sea access, to go and struggle in the isolated Sahara Desert of Mali and Songhai?

They conquered the Mediterranean and it was THEIRS for many centuries.

Countless generations.

They probably expected to rule Europe forever.

Dumb and dumber.

Zombie.

Unless CNN or BBC white mainstream media “confirms” it to your slave head incapable of a single independent thought, it will remain “fictitious alternate universe”.

Programmed, low IQ pea brain in a forum of self-loathing dunderheads.

Of course if it was a history suggesting African barbarism and backwardness, you stupid animals would flood this thread in support of it, since you are cursed with colonial self-hatred and racial inferiority complex.

Useless, stupid wastrels.

Just keep your dirty nose off this thread if you have nothing positive to add to our knowledge of the African past, or I will scatter you with abuse here. Understood?

IDIOTS.

DO YOU KNOW some polish people are worshipping a Black deity ?

panafrican:
DO YOU KNOW some polish people are worshipping a Black deity ?

YEP. Not just in Poland. All over Europe, especially Eastern Europe where they still keep the old traditions.

The Pope also worships black Jesus and Mary in private.

They gave Africans none-existent white saviour to worship, while worshiping the original one behind the scenes.

And you wonder why things are going well for them.
