    Al-Sūfī-the Persian astronomer, was a major contributor to the translation into Arabic of the Hellenistic astronomy that had been centered in Alexandria, Egypt. His was the first to attempt to relate the Greek with the traditional Arabic star names and constellations, which were completely unrelated and overlapped in complicated ways.

    The calligraphy at 11:18 is Farsi and not arabic!
    It's a Hafiz poem and NOT a sentence from or about Koran.
    Huge difference.

    8.01mins This 12th.century lamp has cutwork panels which have perhaps been cut using metal dies and a press? The earliest examples of die cutting in Europe is in the 18th century ,but the Arab Artisans may have been using such methods 600 years earlier. On this lamp you can clearly see where the dies were attached when it was being pressed. I would suggest that this lamp is made of brass ( an alloy of copper and Zinc) rather than just copper?

    So, Ibn Khaldun was right 800 years ago when he wrote that the so called "Islamic" science and art were actually "Ajam" (greater Iranian world and the Hellenic world) science and art.. Just look at this entire video: from the book of the astronomer Sufi Shirazi (the discoverer of the Andromeda galaxy) , to the astrolabes, the ceramics, the calligraphic works, the architecture, the fabrics, the utensils...... all are greater Iranian (Iran-Afghanistan-Central Asia-Kurdistan), or done by them working for the Mughals of India or the Ottomans of Turkey---that is, -except the two pieces from Egypt shown in this entire video! Geeeez vizzz, only the the very end of this vid has anything at Met or the Louvre that cover any other groups! So, why not just call it "Islamic art of the Iranic World at the Met"? I have visited it many many times, and that is the correct statement to make.

      @@MANCO513 So very true. Nearly all the people of Afghanistan and Iran (Ariana and Persia) are of greater Iranian world, in their roots and at present. There is a Turkic addition in Central Asia and Anatolia, but that can be distinguished easily by its simplicity. The art from Herat is supreme: better than those from either Samarkand or Isfahan. It was the apex. (And yet, the bloody British with the help of Abdulrahman Khan of Kabul, dynamited most of the priceless buildings and art work there in the 1880s. God damn them both)

Iran was given to khorasan in the book of kings by Daqighi or Ferdowsi 1000 years ago. More than 90% of places in the book of kings of khorasan are in todays Afghanistan. The rest 10% are located in modern day Iran, tajikistan, Turkmenistan, uzbekistan and so.. . The country of Iran is making big crime and No one can see it, it's ridiculous.

    "Now all we have to do is convince you that there is something wrong with all of your stuff": I heard you folks over the radio, talking about how you planned to take all of my things. You have already stolen about ten million dollars worth of my personal possessions, plus my family's land, by doing just that - convincing us through acts of subterfuge, that there is something wrong with us. You have stolen at least two waterfront houses, plus another four homes from my family, by constantly distressing us until we fled the area. The "Ivory" box that appears at video minute 29:45 could just as easily be made of bakelite, or white wood, or anything else like white clay. You already know that collecting the tusks, or 'Ivory" from the animals is a felony. You already told me that over the television. Since I have no way of knowing for certain what this white box is made of, you imply that it is against the law to own this object. Right, Luke?

    "americanmorningsupply.com", with Chuck Norris; My mom told me in 1998 that Chuck Norris studied Martial Arts with Mark Favre, her boyfriend. John Townsend studied Martial Arts with this same group of people. I paid for my two older children, Molly and James, to take Martial Arts with Mr. Townsend. This was before John Townsend at his DoJang in Poulsbo, Kitsap County Washington State, sexualy assaulted my orphaned daughter, Molly Lynn Dorsey. He took photographs of Molly with her shirt off, fed her alcohol and told her he was going to take her in his hot tub. My mother's boyfriend, Mark Favre, committed suicide with one of his guns about five years after this. I am not interested in anything that has to do with fighting or the Martial Arts. I think it makes friends into enemies. They all then ganged up on Molly and put her in jail. Molly has been a good and helpful child since she was a baby. She has never done anything to deserve any of this abuse. She has been mercilessly tortured since she was an infant, by the devil and his demons. Your efforts to sell me a product by using Chuck Norris are not going to be successful. I am not a fan of Martial Arts, or of John Townsend and his friends. They are determined to torture me until they have an excuse to put me in jail, as well. Violence is not the answer to our problems. I believe that Mr. John Townsend and his friend tortured my children and myself, hoping to put us in jail and to take our money. "We have thrown everything we have at this man, and we get nothing back" was John's comment to me in 1998. He did not elaborate, but after all the following events, like Mark Favre's suicide, I see a pattern of conduct; to foster a hostile environment until they provoked us to commit acts of violence, thereby giving themselves an excuse to take away our freedom and our money.

    Curator Sheila Canby unwittingly makes a big mistake. There have been many changes in the words of the Quran, from the beginning until 1924. This used to be known only to Islamic Western academic scholars - the Islamic ones covered it up even from their own people, and the Western academics either were too ivory scholar or too afraid to make their findings known.
    The truth is easily uncovered now, in RUclips videos and books, such as by the best-selling scholar Ibn Waraq, and the entertaining and well-documented adventure novel "The Topkapi Secret" by Terry Kelhawk.

Replication of Moroccan court using mixture of modern decor and stunning pieces of the past looks like beautifully illustrated old books augmented where the missing pages with new pages done in the same style.

The Arabs of today are the grand grand children’s of these tribes , Arabs from Mecca and Medina who defeated the persian Greek and Roman’s were very welcomed by the native people from Iraq till North Africa since they were ethnically and culturally as well as language wise very related.

    Talking about all the art shown in the film as Islamic art is the same as talking about the art of modernism, impressionism or post-impressionism as Christian art. Art critics of the 19th century were pathetic idiots who divided art according to the map and calendar, and not according to the morphology of its origin. It's time to stop this idiotic practice! Just because an image contains the Arabic alphabet does not mean that it is Islamic. In the Islamic country of Afghanistan, a monument depicting Buddha was carved into a rock. Everyone knows perfectly well what happened to him later - and this was done by people who consider themselves true followers of Islam. The very term “Islamic” or “Christian” or “Hindu” means one thing - religious doctrines. And if art does not follow the dictates of these doctrines, such a term cannot be applied to it.
