No.269303
>>269224
The notion that Arabs were civilized is propaganda from Jewish historians in medieval Europe that basically had no contact with Muslims and were just sticking a thumb in the eye of Christians by portraying their rivals as zipping around the desert in flying cars.
The Arabs were a barbarian client of the Romans and initially wound up inhabiting abandoned Roman infrastructure and then taking over other civilizations. The "Golden Age" is something portrayed in literature but the archaeological record shows Arab Muslims taking over more advanced civilizations to enhance their own wealth which lead to rapid declines as the subjugated population became Arabized and converted to Islam destroying their native folkways that led to success.
We see things in stark contrast between the literary record and the archaeological record where pre-Islamic settlement declining in population, the number of buildings in settlements decreasing over time, the decline of artistic sophistication and technological know how, rampant illiteracy, et cetera. This all during the "Golden Age of Islam".
By contrast the upper class Scandinavians who were never squatters in a more advanced civilization would have been comparatively well educated, less superstitious, and involved in a civilization that was widespread, and on an incline in terms of population growth, sophistication, et cetera.
tl;dr Arabs were then what they are now, and an Arab traveler among Scandinavians would have been the superstitious barbarian, and in fact the real Ahmad ibn Fadlan's specific criticisms of Europeans was their ritual uncleanliness. That they did not conform to sharia which to a Muslim makes them inferior. It was not a reasoned critique but one of a religious zealot whose co-religionists stifled the productivity and spirit of half the planet and was aghast at there being places that existed where this wasn't the case.

>propaganda from Jewish historians in medieval Europe
The term "Islamic Golden Age" first appeared in 1858 in A Handbook for Travelers in Syria and Palestine, which was written by Josias Leslie Porter, an Irish Presbyterian minister, while on a mission of conversion in the region from 1849-59. That's him in the pic so you can measure his nose for yourself.

>that basically had no contact with Muslims
I find this difficult to believe. Judaism was tolerated better in Muslim-ruled territories than in Christian, and Jews could easily cross religious borders because they belonged to neither and existed as a minority in both. Could you point to the specific Jewish historians that you're citing?
>were just sticking a thumb in the eye of Christians
Why would a medieval Christian audience even care about what a Jew had to say? How would such a manuscript even get published in a medieval Christian society?
>Arab Muslims taking over more advanced civilizations to enhance their own wealth
The more advanced civilizations you're talking about would have been the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanian (Persian) Empire. The two empires had been locked in a costly on-and-off war for three centuries, and their exhaustion made them easy pickings. Islamic taxes were initially very light, a welcome change from the heavy war-time taxes levied by Roman and Persian. Other than those two, I'd say that all of their other conquests, including the Visigoths (who also "inhabited abandoned Roman infrastructure", just like the Franks, Ostrogoths, and Anglo-Saxons), Berbers/Tuaregs, Sindh, Bukhara, and Samarkand were less advanced if we're talking about technological and cultural sophistication.
As for the Golden Age itself, it's generally considered to have started in 786 AD, with the reign of Harun al-Rashid, declined under the stricter Al-Mutawakkil who saw Greek learning as un-Islamic, and ended in 1258 AD, when the Mongols sacked Baghdad. If we're talking about population declining, Baghdad is still below it's pre-1258 population. (http://lostislamichistory.com/mongols/) By the way, Baghdad was built in 762 AD by the Abbasid dynasty, on the site of a Persian village. No Roman infrastructure needed there.

In 751, paper was introduced to the Islamic world from China, making it easier to make books and transfer information. The House of Wisdom in Baghdad was the most important driving factor behind Muslim intellectual achievement during this time. It did indeed translate many classical texts into Arabic, but also innovated in several fields. Here's a just few of the scholars that it housed and funded:
>Algebra: Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi who named the field of algebra (Persian, not Arab), Abu Kamil Shuja ibn Aslam, Omar Khayyam,Sharaf al-Din al-Tusi, our post numbers are in Arabic numerals which Europeans adopted because of they are easier to work with than Roman numerals.
>Trigonometry: Ibn Muʿadh al-Jayyani
>Calculus: Hasan Ibn al-Haytham
>Astronomy: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi,
>Anatomy/Medicine: Ibn al-Nafis, Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi
Instead of Jewish historians, we know of all these scholars because their work survives, and was translated from Arabic into Latin once the Crusades exposed Europe to Muslim, and through them Classical, learning.
As an interesting aside, one of the professors that I looked at for this, George Saliba of Columbia University (author of this: https://books.google.com/books?id=Boc0JjGRPF0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=george+saliba+islamic+science&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ULgwT4OMKcfgggfxmM2nBQ&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false), was accused of discriminating against students that held pro-Israel views. He successfully dismissed these accusations as outright lies, and restated his opinion that Zionism is fundamentally wrong.

http://columbiaspectator.com/2004/11/03/rebutting-misguided-political-project
It's true that the modern Middle East is plagued by anti-intellectualism and fundamentalism. When Islam was new, however, it inherited a tradition of scientific inquiry that went back to the Greek philosophers. The debate among various schools of Islamic theology controlled Muslim intellectual direction, and the decline of the Mu'tazila school, which encouraged reason and logic as tools to know the world, steered thought away from innovation. It lingered and finally disappeared in the 15th century, just as Europe was about to undergo the Renaissance. Once the Portuguese discovered a direct path to India and China, it meant that Europe could cut out the Ottoman middleman, and the Silk Road became obsolete.
Your narrative that paints Islam as a destructive force that leeched off of the Roman and Sassanian Empires ignores all the nuance of the period. I assume that you want to connect the terrible political situation of the modern Middle East to a static, biologically determined trait that has always existed. And if you can't point to a specific Jewish historian in medieval Europe, the fabrication of a Jewish boogeyman also gives you away.

It's a fucking post-apocalyptic setting , those films were a dime a dozen during the 80's ; from Damnation Alley to Mad Max even the cheaper ones managed to actually look the part and none of them even got near to $80mil. budget
The only reason those movies were able to gather that kind of budget was because he was Kevin-fucking-Costner at the high point of his career and anything with his name attached to it was considered solid gold and since his name was involved in those movies people took that as a guarantee of success and their money back 10 fold ; i guess the hollyjews had to learn what they know today for certain the hard way those 2 times , that there is no guaranteed 100% fullproof "sure thing"
And mind you those were times when the studios were still chasing the prospect of movie making because even if a movie ended up only breaking even there were still big tax write-offs , that should be another indication on how hard this movie aimed for the moon and landed flat on it's face

Still waiting on you to name the Medieval Jewish historians that fabricated the Islamic Golden Age, and also explain how their writings reached a Christian audience. On that note, please give us some evidence that the Norse were less superstitious than Arabs at this time, if such a thing is even objectively measurable. People like you usually have a poorly organized infographic with no citations laying around, right?
Look, I'll start:
William of Malmesbury was an English historian living in the 12th century. He tells us in his Gesta Regum Anglorum (1125) that Pope Sylvester II, while he was still a monk named Gerbert of Aurillac, went to Barcelona in 967 to study mathematics. Since the southern half of the peninsula was Muslim, he was able to read Al-Khwarizmi's On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals (the book that gave Algebra its name, al-jabr or "the reunion of broken parts"), along with the concept of the abacus and the astrolabe. Before and during his Papacy (999-1003), he promoted these things and learning in general. He was one of the influences that brought Arabic numerals to Europe, along with Fibonacci. In addition to William of Malmesbury's work, Pope Sylvester II himself also wrote prolifically on the importance of Greco-Roman and Arab learning, you can find these documents in the Patrologia Latina.
There, see? I pointed to specific people and documents, instead of using nebulous phrases like "the archaeological record shows" and "the stark contrast between the literary record and the archaeological record". Which authors, which books, which archaeological sites?
So I don't continue to shit up the thread with off-topic shit, Triangle is a both a good horror movie and a good time-travel movie.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody really talk about Life of Brian, it's always just Monty Python's Holy Grail.It's difficult to even find decent quality torrents of it.

I mean, Russians talk about it (White Sun of the Desert) all the time, but I never see it get mentioned here. Overall just a really good take on the American Western genre with a bit of subtle social commentary slipped in past the soviet censors

It's an interesting movie, although not great. It's like a group of actors filming themselves talking all day about a good movie plot.
I like those movies where they make a good story with 2 bucks. Here you got two more that i really liked, especially the first one.

>About the only reason I can see that his movies fell flat at the box office is that they are long movies without the constant excitement required by your typical braindead theater goer who requires constant stimulation, explosions, and robot monsters, all packaged in an easy to digest 90 minute movie.

NightWatch was a solid slavic fantasy film, DayWatch felt a little short. It kinds of reminds me of Underworld (the first movie) how they manage to create the sense of a greater universe while doing very little.

This and it's sequel are really REALLY good. A Chinese epic by John woo. I think it's his latest work so far.
NO do not watch the butchered American release. They took two 2:30 hour movies and condensed into one, leaving so much character development and crucial scenes out, it's a fucking crime what they did to it.

He is. The people who made the posters and the American trailer fucked up. The original Italian title was Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo which is literally The Good, The Ugly, The Bad. The people who did the promos fucked up the order based on this little miscommunication.

The proof that a movie can carry an epic feeling without relying on CGI. I like to rewatch it every now and then. Some scenes are very powerful (carmina burana, finding the grail…).

It's to market a movie that tells and doesn't show. It was clearly conceived as a play, but I can't really complain about the movie format, in a way, it forces the viewer to stay rational and undistracted. I must admit I often find myself thinking about this movie.

Find a version with commentary and watch it if you can even under the laws and regulations of the time it was made in as lax as they were when compared to contemporary ones this movie shouldn't even exist , Hertzog is fucking madman
