How Did Religion Spread Along the Silk Road? Crash Course Geography #31

Рет қаралды 225,011

Күн бұрын

Today we’re going to talk about the collection of routes known as the Silk Roads, and explore how worldview and other ideas spread along those trade routes. The Silk Roads are responsible for everything from the spices we use when we cook to the cloth we see as beautiful, but today we’re going to focus on religion, and show how these routes influenced the beliefs of billions of people through time and space.

Always refreshing when Crashcourse mentions religion. The Greco-Buddhist statue near the end is such a fascinating example of religious objects and artistic forms spreading across the Silk Roads (in addition to religious ideas/stories).

8:01 The University of al-Qarawiyyin was founded by a Muslim woman, Fatima al-Fihri. It started out as a mosque and grew to become an incredible educational institute that shaped the modern university structure! Thanks for mentioning it!

@gunner4ever924 2 жыл бұрын

There were several big universities like Nalanda and Takshila pre-dating al-Qarawiyyin though.

@kght222 2 жыл бұрын

the problem is that modern education and uni structure is kinda worthless to most people, and that certainly has nothing to do with fatima.

BUT also remember what she is saying. That the establishment of the university system, was a product of the diffusion of Islamic culture with preexisting Greek and Roman cultural traditions that valued scholarship and education. The point being that everyone exchanges and grows from that exchange, as explained in S49V13 as ta'arrafu. That our Islamic instruction is to know the other, so that we can be known too. Not to isolate ourselves away from each other at all.

Religions follow their communities, and MOST human interaction is NOT through war or violence. Most cultural exchange, particularly before Colonialism, has been through trade and mutually beneficial across cultures. We have a warped Imperialist understanding about the nature of civilization.

Word of mouth was important for the spread of Buddhism, as it took over 400 years for Siddhārtha Gautama's (The Buddha) teachings to be finally written down. One can imagine how some oral transmission concepts could've been distorted in just a matter of moments when playing a schoolyard telephone game, let alone a span of centuries.

My cook friends insist on Fresh spices. People have been taken by the silly concept that medieval foods were over spiced. Those medieval spices like Pepper had been picked years before, packed in bags or boxes, put on a ship, to a ship, to a ship, to a camel, to a ship. Others were put on a camel, to a donkey, to a camel, to a camel, to a ship, to a horse cart, to a donkey to a ship.

It is currently blowing my mind that there is no reason why we don't view the Earth and maps in the south to north orientation, other than because of named polarities.

@mahnas92 2 жыл бұрын

Have you considered that even the naming themselves really doesnt imply what is "up" and what is "down" It's just arbitrarirly pracitce to put the north upward, but really, we could simply put south up... or even e.g. West/East, if not because of the polarity of the earth!

I know this is for kids and school but geography isn't a real field of study more a Frankenstein like mash of many other fields of study, it's a highly politicised subject and littered with colonialism and imperialism this cannot end well
