- Paul Cobb, Professor, Islamic History, University of Pennsylvania presents Traveler's Tips from the 14th Century: The Detours of Ibn Battuta. In 1325, a Moroccan scholar named Ibn Battuta set out to do a bit of traveling. When he finally returned to his homeland 30 years later, he had visited the equivalent of over 40 modern countries, traversed the entire eastern hemisphere, and logged about 73,000 miles. After his return home, the sultan of Morocco commissioned a writer to record Ibn Battuta's recollections of his journeys. The result was a book known as the Travels of Ibn Battuta, one of the world's classic travel narratives and a key window into the cosmopolitan world of medieval Islam. The 14th century offered a different world of travel than the one that confronts us today-or did it? What advice can Ibn Battuta provide the globe-trotting public of the 21st century?

i'am from Morocco and watching you Professor Cobb ! Thanks for sharing ! "Seek knowledge, even if it’s as far away as China."
Unfortunately, this age nobody bears even read a book.
People's brains are locked into heaven hell stories no one wants to learn outside religious boundaries

Ibnu Battuta was a great traveler in his time.
Thank you for this seminar. The story telling is awesome and I love how the professor made great effort to pronounce the names properly
Great lecture. I love the stories of battuta
@ 37: 30 was some great words as was the complete saminar. Thanx for presenting it in a smooth and enjoyfull manner.
This guy is awesome, he needs his own TV show
We Indian Muslim community love ibn battuta Ra
When I visited his house and burial place in Tangier.I couldn't have imagined this man travelled Al these places .
I went there too. In the old Medina Al Kasbah of Tangier. Also breath taking view at the see from his house.
also love and respect for ibn battuta RIP or travel in peace may be.😊
nice story and a even better storyteller.
I realize it's kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Ares Micah meh I watch on flixportal. Just google after it=) -dakari
@Dakari Jamari thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !
@Ares Micah happy to help xD
Love from India!❤
Great video thanks
Köszönöm a videót, bevallom soha sem hallottam Ibn Battuta-ról, ellenben érdekelne a kereskedelmi utak fejlődése, nyomvonala, változása. Hogyan merre mentek, mit vittek, miért, miért érte meg ekkora kockázat, miért volt fontos. Halvány emlékem akad a múltból ezekről a kérdésekről, de nagyon sekélyes, és egyszerűen érdekelne a valós válasz erre.
Thanks Paul.
Ibn Batuta is very well known in the east.
good lecture thanks and thanks to in batutta
You glossed over the trip in India/Bengal where he met great Sufi dervishes who recently conquered Bengal, Shah Jalal and in India he met the Turk Sultan I believe Iltutmish or Qutubudeen Aybak
I would like to read more about Ibn Battuta. What book do you recommend in english about his travels and experiences?
He actually wrote a travelogue at the end of his extensive journeys around the globe. His travel book is known Rihla.
Yeah just read his writings dude. He wrote it down
Great lecture .
Thank you Penn Museum.
aaaugh! why would anyone stand in front of the projector screen?
❤❤❤
Good
Nice
he traveled At 21 years old
By the shorter Islamic lunar calendar he would have been 22.
What's the music in the beginning
Ibn Battuta was far away better than Marco sthg. You have to accept this evidence!
You can't say that clearly haven't even researched marco POLLO properly.
@@Nozylatten lol it's funny you tried correcting how he spelt his name by spelling it wrong yourself, it's Marco Polo not Marco pollo.
Well all explorers are great. Marco did his part and Ibn Battuta did his part. Just be happy for the history.
LOL NO
🇲🇦💪☝️Respekt
Ibnu Batutta
thanks to Allah the greatest
Make a Film Hollywood 😮
I watched 2:23 of this before I stopped. I cannot abide so-called lecturers who um and ah all the time!
That's a pity, you missed a lot. The man is erudite, funny and engaging, and there's actually very little umming and Ah-ing. Give it a nother try!
More order, less fun.

"Uhmmm uhhhh....uh... uhmmmm... "
His travels was not on his own initiative. In fact, what he had shown us is that he followed the foot step of the Quranic Seal of the Prophets!
And what that means?????
foot step, how u know this
You really need to learn more about the prophet and his life...your comment is very wrong
@@marke2233 Do your research and dont be PARROT & BLIND FOLLOWER!
@@kasheefb128 Do your research .....
Good lecture, however as far as public speaking goes, he says "Uh" and "Um" way too often! It is a little distracting
tuff crowd

shouldn't look down upon marco pollo and take his adventure lightly because he planed to goto china and be back in half a decade but was held by Khan Kublai and tried to get the best of it. Bhattuta travelled through the Islamic world at the time and most of the places he had been were at LEAST similar to what he was accustomed to. A European in Asia is very different at that time culturally religiously and of course politically so please guys cut the "oh u don't like musulmans" act, ok? one its like going in a different city in your country and the other is going to an other world. And are u serious about making Italian jokes in Penn state get your act together. Peace Out
Ibn Battuta traveled to most civilized places on the world at that time
Marco Polo did amazing and dangerous work. And so did Ibn Battuta. They both accomplished amazing things for their time. So, we should not push down one explorer to raise up the other.
As usual with these kinds of lectures, he just has to wax romantic at the end. The transregional zone that he referrences was made possible by the aggressive imperialism of first the Islamic empire and then the Mongols. It was created via the death or opression of millions. The Muslims built the Bagdad so admired by Ibn Battuta after destroying and assimilating the Persian empire, and then the Mongols vengefully destroyed this, the world's greatest city (along with its massive population), because it would not bow to their dominance. So yes. If you don't mind being carried around by slaves through violently conquered nations, not needing a passport is nice. Trying to replicate the "one-ness" and "open-ness" of that age without the subjugation of local soveriegnty that made it possible is probably not an experiment worth the risk.
do not talk none sense
Western Anglo anger at a successful empire. I can't wait for the American Empire to end, which appears to be close. FuK off.
True the Muslim Empires were brutal. But this was about the life of a man who benefited from the United Empire. So the Book by Ibn Batutta would not state the cruel realities of his world. He would not state the taxes Christians and Jews Payed for not being Muslim OR the Fact only Muslims could have Political Office and Join the Military. BUT I enjoyed it for a historical record of the Ancient World and the descriptions of now dead cultures.
All Empires are created by blood. True some Empires are more tolerant, less brutal and less dictatorial than others. And an empire changes over time so it may be better OR worse to live in as a subjectgated people at any point in time.
Covena White You sound like a white supremacist
@@covenawhite4855 ,
My criticisms were not so much aimed at Ibn Battuta's writings. They are an artifact of the times and of priceless historic value. I was more annoyed by the modern romanticised presentation of the facts.
