Both stories of Tariq and Cortex could have been made up. But the concept is interesting - both men were arriving in a new continent and about to fight an entrenched civilization for the glory of their own. Full circle indeed =)

Thank you!

Thanks! The series is growing - sic parvis magna!

TRULY!!

Amen!

I finally found the gold you where talking about!

a mistake .....is reconquest

Thank you! Yes, spread word and share if you don't mind. Would really appreciate it

I agree - it sets the mood and keeps the narrative fluid. Most of my budget goes to buying music or finding it on the internet for free. It’s hard to come across copyright free music that sounds right. For episode V, I pulled out all the stops and contacted the musician himself - definitely let me know what you think of the music on that one!

Thank you! Part 2 will be out shortly

Agreed!! Very Well Done!!!

Here!; Here! DMM

Nice - let me know what you think

@@FlashPointHx Great job. Honest. Giving credit where it is due. Keep up the good work. Most European and those brain washed by Europeans call Muslim expansion. You are the only one among those I heard call CONQUESTS of the known world.

I have seen your comments on a bunch of my videos - happy to see you’re enjoying the series!

VERY MUCH!! THANK YOU!!

Because only white people can be portrayed as colonizers. No one else.

Hollywood ha it would be white supremacy everyone would be white apart from the slaves.

Orisha they stopped because there was nothin more to conquer

the Moors was Black tribes of North west Afrika kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prKSnZpnranaqIk.html

Egypt, warred with Nubia, and Kush, to the point where they were absorbed into the Egyptian Empire. And Egypt fell, therefore rendering your comment inaccurate.

@@randee4550 uhhh kemet was the daughter of kush. Stop it. Not to mention, they were a mixture of Afrika.

@@Bigg_C-Nile1 don't come here with that HOTEP bullshit. FOH

Thank you! I’m happy you liked it !

Thank you i am glad you like the show. I’ve been to Morocco - spent a month out there. You’re right, the medieval architecture in Fez and Marrakech are similar to what you have in Granada and Córdoba. Morocco was such a wonderful trip, I’d recommend to anyone to travel there.

AFRICANS were ALSO in Berber tribes and are decendants of the Moors

Anthony Fields-Bey No... The mauris=Moors are ancient MAURERANIAS... Actual Morocco... But there is a lot of Berbers tribes...

Do you call them morrs or moops

@Ayoub That's pretty wrong. Moor is the word that designates North African Muslims that invade Hespania. Morocco is a Spanish / Portuguese pronunciation of the word "Merrakesh" , à city founded by the Lumtuna Almravids ( A berber tribe that INVADED Morocco and founded that city). The architecture in AL Andalus can be found everywhere I the maghreb please correct your information.

Thanks again!

Now it is not just a mountain - but an icon

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!!

Well Said!! DMM

Hey thank you! Really appreciate that !

You bet!

Where do I find book?

Yes! There are so many what if’s in history. What if Constantinople fell to the Early Islamic Conquest in the 7th century - or if the Mongols didn’t turn back in the 13th ? According to Gibbon - if Charles Martel hadn’t have won at the Battle of Poitiers / Tours in 732 - the Koran would have been taught at Oxford during the Renaissance. I’m really glad you like my series - spread word of it, if you don’t mind.

Flash Point History I most definitely will share your page 😊😊

Thank you

To be honest I don't think they would be able to consolidate their rule. It would end up something like the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula due to the decadence and softness of living in abundance.

@Scott Whatever hatred?!?!

Someone asked me earlier today why I liked history - this is exactly one of the reasons. It allows you to put yourself into the human experience that you might never get to experience otherwise. Thanks for sharing your insight !

Thank you! Cheers!

I’ve read this too and initially I wanted to add it into the narrative as I would tie into Cortéz later , but I’m not sure if it is actually true. Tariq kept his forces near the port of Algeceras specifically so he could use the port to retreat if needed.

i always wondered what happened to Tariq Bin Ziyad (my nephew is named after him, ziyad) . because Musa bin Nusayr ended up being a beggar. the same ummayyad caliph did the same to the Muhammad Bin Qasim who conquered the southern part of the modern day pakistan. In the year 711 AD. My ancestors were the soldiers who who followed Muhammad Bin Qasim.

Tariq dissapears from the records that I read. He and Musa ibn Nusayr were recalled back to Damascus and Musa was stripped of everything. If I had to guess - I’d say Tariq probably got executed for being his right hand man. Impressive that you can track you family lineage back the the 8th century!

to be even more precise. my ancestors were soldiers from the city of Areeha also known as Jericho. Read about Arain tribe if you get the chance. if you decide to do any video about Indian subcontinent.

Wow, that goes into near antiquity - No wonder you’re such a big fan of history.

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks!

I agree - history books gloss over this era right to 1492

Glad you like them! I'm hoping to get back to Southern Spain one of these days

A great People,the Amazigh,i feel Much satisfaction,to have them in my DNA. I love Azul.👤

Again - thank you. I'm glad you're following the series. Would love to hear your thoughts on Abd Al Rahman III when you get to him

They may have been able to do it. Perhaps if Constantinople fell it would have been a different story. . .

one should ideally not underestimate the desire for self rule and liberty of a people; the franco-germanic tribes had been able to resist a millenia of roman conquest and rule, they were used to foreign conquerors with lofty ideals coming to their land in search for glory and power so it is not as cut and dry as you might think.

nope, they would get crushed by the germanic people. You only beat beat the visigoths, with the help of Jews.

@Alliam Isaman maybe The European will be more anti Islamic and the clash lf Civilization still going on Wallahualam

Atlanta?

Andalusia.... Whenever I asked our local so called historians where that name came from, they would never say or bring up any Muslims. Everything is Spain this and Spain that....but no Islamic reference at all. I had to research the name on my own.

Andalusia was around longer than ‘Spain’ has. How could you possibly tell the history and exclude the Islamic influence ?

@@JC33455 😂😂 andalusia is an arabized name meaning the land of the vandals. The history of spain is much longer.

Its totally fascinating. Have you read Maria Menochal's "Ornament of the World"?

E Leon same basically as a Mexican but now Native American culture has been added to the mix lol

Thanks! But why not platinum ? 🤣😂

thanks!

Sam - are systematically going through this entire series? I’m delighted you’re liking it.

Yes pretty much. I have always enjoyed history, and this is the first time that I have really tried to take in and understand the initial spread of Islam.

Yup

@truth seeker Wrong

Thank you! Happy you like the content. I used the title more to indicate monumental and pivotal points in history. I didn't want to be tied down to any particular topic (e.g. History of Rome - or whatever). Plus flashpoints can be associated with more than military but cultural watershed moments. Again, happy you like the podcast!

I want you to listen to the ‘Homeworld Deserts of Kharak Battle sound track’

@@FlashPointHx Wow, thanks!

It captures the mood nicely though

@@FlashPointHx It does. My comment was not intended to diminish the excellent and very detailed history of Al-Andalus. You are to be commended for this fine work.

No - its just stock footage I ran through a filter

@@FlashPointHx you should watched it then, good series about early islamic history, at least from one side of history source,al-hadits (don't expect level of GoT production value of course), its available for free in its tv station youtube channel with english subs. There you will also saw, prophet Muhammad and the rashidin didnt command from a throne or palace like depiction in the painting from your series before , they mostly talk all political, economic and military inside the mosque of nabawi (which is didnt more than a field of sand with a roof made from dates leaves and poles from dates woods with wall made from mud all around ). The series also depicted how one of romans or persian ambassador that came to meet omar and asking around people of medina about the palace of the caliph and instead he was shown the way to mosque of Nabawi which is not more than looks like half finished wall of mud and Omar laid down, taking a nap under the dates tree in front side of the mosque bare chested due to tired after working in the market. Yes,there lies the answer of why Khaleed didnt reject the order of Omar that put him down from his ranks as the field general. Omar, like Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr gives example of humbleness and dignity as a leader among their people,an opposite of other leader at the time. Omar also never take from his spoil of war stakes and donate them all instead.

Yup - you got it

Been meaning to respond to you for a few days - been trying to finish the next video. Thank you for this amazing remark! I’m so happy that you find my series to be to your liking. To answer your question, the focus of my education and career are completely outside of history. I did get a minor in it. However, I lived in several countries and have always been exposed to history growing up. Now it is a passion of mine to travel and explore - and of course to read extensively on the history of the places I go to. Again, I really appreciate the kind remark and I think I’ll add this comment to the next video as well. All the best!

Flash Point History no problem, you deserve it! The only improvement I could think of would be a source list in the description, but I know it could get tedious to do that. In any case, thanks again! And whatever you do, keep posting :)

So glad your back - appreciate your comments

Flash Point History de rien ;)

Flash Point History dont mention it,

Thank you so much! I’m really happy that you liked my video. I am like you, I believe that in order to really understand the history on must be able to visualize it. Thus, I spent a lot of time to create the Maps for the series. In reference to your question, I mentioned it in a previous episode. The term Moors Comes from the Roman name for the province of northwestern Africa - Mauritania . This area was heavily populated by the Berber tribes. Eventually the name was abbreviated to Moors.

@@FlashPointHx How do they relate to the ancient Numidians?

@@Sovnarkom Numdia was a kingdom just to the SW of Carthage. It was integrated into the Roman Republic and later empire. I wouldn't know the exact specifics of how they were directly related. But I'd have to say that there must of been a lot of Berber tribes in the area that would later join the Islamic Conquest of the 7th century

@@FlashPointHx It seems like both the Mauri and Numidians were Berber people who spoke a mutually intelligible language but they formed separate states due to some geographic distinctions, predating the formation of Carthage. This separation continued through Cananite, Roman, Arab and European domination and exists today with the distinct Maghrebi power centers of Morocco and Algeria. I never understood what this deep-rooted political difference was, if it didn't extend to the spheres of language and religion.

The moors are Moroccan Moroccans actually in northern Africa

Thanks for that! Good company to be compared to. There are two ways about this. If you’re into audio you can download the episodes from where ever you get your podcast from and they will be in order. Alternatively, if you go to my main page by clicking on my icon, you can hit my playlists and the Videos will be in order as well. I hope that helps. Again, thanks for the awesome comment

Which tune?

@@FlashPointHx at the beggining of the video, is it your own music ?

I love this story - it’s obviously just a legend. I didn’t have time to mention the dispute between Tariq and Musa in detail - but yes that is what is supposed to have happened. Happy you liked the video!

Interesting line

You get a nomadic people, used to getting by with little, organized and motivated - and you have a powerful force, period.

Why did they murder every single inhabitant of cities (baghdad and many more) they conquered? And almost run ethnicities to extinction (the persians)

@@haitamc5611 can you elaborate on this because it is so hard to find any atrocities the moors committed.

Thats most - if not all - of history

I’m really happy that you gave the series another chance. From someone who does not speak Arabic, it was hard for me to learn the words. There are certain sounds that I still have difficulty hearing. I reviewed all of the names with some friends who are native speakers. I even had one of my fans record the names and send them to me so I could practice. I felt like in time I got a little better. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

Ha! Don’t forget to sleep. There are few sources in English. I’m a fan of the works of Hugh Kennedy and Brian Catlas - but for the tower itself it’s mostly legend

@@FlashPointHx thank you. After a marathon round I have to stop now and sleep. Your pointers are appreciated a lot. 🖖🙏 I find that tower legend fascinating. I first heard of it 40 years ago. You reminded me of its existence. 👍
