I really feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but perhaps it is not a good idea to take history lessons from a DAN BROWN NOVEL! Funnily enough: searching for 30secs on AskHistorians leads to an answer debunking the precise theory that you expound on your post! [0] TL;DR: The major cause of the end of the Islamic Golden Age was the catastrophic destruction of Bagdhad in 1258, and of surrounding Mesopotamia. It's a bit irresponsible to propagate misconceptions like this, especially when the source is Dan f*cking Brown. :) [0]: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/97rd7e/ |
