The technological and scientific development of the Hispano-Arab Muslims allowed them to adopt and adapt various means and technical resources for the prospecting, collection, elevation, storage, distribution and use of water. The Muslims immensely perfected irrigation techniques, they became the masters of agricultural hydraulic technique, they took advantage of the Roman irrigation systems that they found here, and together with the Eastern techniques that they knew, they were able to achieve exceptional use of water.

La Alhambra la construyeron los hispanomusulmanes de Hispania y la Catedral de Santa Sofia,Turquía, hoy Mezquita la construyeron los cristianos de Oriente. 😊 Jajaja para Vds. Todo es incomprensible en el viejo Mundo. Granada es riquísima en agua , tiene enorme cordillera, Sierra Nevada, con nieve y picos de 3400mt de altitud. El Mulhacen, pico Veleta. En Granada hace mucho frío esta a casi 1000mts de altitud y hace calor en verano. A 60Km . está la playa de Granada clima subtropical .😂 España es difícil de conocer y de comprender.🤗🤗
Hola desde España, yo conozco la Alhambra y es una maravilla que cualquiera que pueda tiene que ver… respecto al funcionamiento de las fuentes cierto es que llevan funcionando mas de 700 años pero en Roma la Fontana son 2000 años funcionando con la misma instalación. Otra cosa también es que el edificio está preparado contra los terremotos con un sistema de plomo en las juntas de las columnas y ya tiene varios terremotos que certifican su espectacular diseño. Un abrazo
Por supuesto la Ciudad de Granada tiene mucha arquitectura árabe y hay otros sitios dignos de ver. Otras ciudades con arquitectura árabe y judía a destacar… Sevilla, Córdoba, Toledo
En el minuto 21:44 se ve el patio de los Leones y al fondo mas arcos y otra sala ...bien , pues el tejado piramidal que se ve encima , no es el original ...hasta 1920 ( creo ) el tejado era una cúpula de azulejos en forma de estrella y de colores verde y blancos ...tengo un cuadro al oleo de 1914 dónde se ve perfectamente la cúpula original...😮
Solo recordar que en el reino de Granada, habían cristianos, y musulmanes conversos del cristianismo. Estos obreros , junto a los arquitectos y otros profesionales MUSULMANES de origen, fueron los que construyeron la Alhambra.😊 vivían mezclados en la vida cotidiana.😊 Y...judios.
19:43 They used different methods besides gravity, things like 'hydraulic shock' (or water/fluid hammer) and communicating vessels, for example. They found ways to create pressure inside water pipes by connecting them in different positions in relation to reservoirs/water tanks that were built at different heights. They were pretty ingenious. 20:14
So hard to understand. When I was taking Calculus in college, I was complaining how hard it was to learn, then I realized someone had to invent it. LOL.
Para los árabes el agua era un símbolo de vida y riqueza. Hay que entender que era una cultura que nació en el desierto de Arabia. Por eso siempre en sus construcciones hay fuentes y canales de agua corriendo. También se producían alimentos dentro de la fortaleza, no al punto de hacerla autosuficiente, pero si para que un asedio durara más tiempo del que permitirían los alimentos almacenados. También habia un baño público y diferentes servicios que necesitaban agua. La guarnición en las ciudades musulmanas solía ser extranjera, de africa normalmente. Y se les daba todos los servicios necesarios dentro del castillo para evitar que establecieran relación de cualquier tipo con la población de la ciudad. Por la razón de que en caso de levantamiento no tuvieran remordimientos a la hora de aplastarlos. Un abrazo desde Jerez de la Frontera.
It gets pretty hot down there in summer. about the water at 6:52, canals and fountains realy bring the temperature down when youre in the Alhambra. In some places of the palace it can get really chilly even tho its 110ºF outside. The one running through the streets seems merely decorative tho.
Nice to hearing ur apretiation for Spain, because Spain also appreciates America, in fact Spain alongside France appears as a Usa founder in ur Constitution. Kind Regards
The imperial system you know is (was) just used in British colonies. Spain had it's own system with feet and inches and so on, but the actual measures were different from the British. For example one Castillian foot was 29.54cm vs one British foot being 30.48cm. Also in Spain several systems lived together. There was the Castillian foot, the Catalan foot and some really old systems like the Byzantine foot or even the Roman foot. Then the French came up with their metric system and most of the world adopted it, except for USA, Burma and Liberia.
The term “ingeniator” appears as early as the end of the 8th or beginning of the 9th century in connection with public works, fortifications and military machines. Already in Roman times, inclines were used to carry water from one point to another thanks to the aqueduct. The Nazaries applied all that knowledge in addition to having very good engineers, in fact, there in that video you have the proof.
Granada is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, where Spain's highest peak, Mulhacén, is located. It practically has snow all year round. That's where all that water comes from. One of the most famous brands of mineral water in Spain, Lanjarón, comes from the town of the same name that sits on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
In the Middle Ages, the Muslims were more advanced than the Europeans. They dominated mathematics, algebra, architecture... Christians lived in dark, unhealthy and smelly towns and castles. The Arabs washed daily and were masters in the use of water, both for ornamental fountains, hygienic and pleasure baths, and in the irrigation of crops, where they used regattas to bring water to the plants and gardens. When the Spanish Catholic Monarchs took the Alhambra after the surrender of the Moorish king Boabdil, In 1492, they were amazed by the architecture of the palace, and ordered it to be preserved. This scene from a Spanish series, from the life of Queen Isabel, recreates her arrival at the palace to accept the surrender of Boabdil: ruclips.net/video/w5vXalCtXWE/видео.html
Surely, brother, it's amazing because it's the Alhambra palace built by the Bani al-Ahmar ️👳♀️ ️the owners of ancient art and fine taste, whose lineage goes back to one of the Friends of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and they are Arabs whose origins date back to the Arabian Peninsula 🐪 and if you want something more amazing and more elegant as well as you, and not something I'm reacting to this passage, I'll put its title below it's talking about the Great Mosque of Cordoba in Andalusia 👇 Wonders of architecture in Spain: the Great Mosque of Cordoba

I visited it this year. The courtyard of the lions is probably the most serene and balanced architectural work I have ever seen in my life...
Cuando el presidente Clinton vio la Alhambra exclamo, ¡Dios mio, es el atardecer mas bello que he visto en toda mi vida!

Los nazaries tenian aljibes , una camara que recogia agua de la lluvia o nieve y la almacenaban por si acaso habia una sequia
Nice to hearing ur apretiation for Spain, because Spain also appreciates America, in fact Spain alongside France appears as a Usa founder in ur Constitution. Kind Regards
Check out to: Palacio de Aranjuez, Palacio Real de la Granja de San Ildefonso, El Escorial. All of them so beautiful
Thank you!

Oh, and you should *really* react to “europe explained to americans” by “hello erika”! :-]
Video coming soon!
Thanks!
Alhambra is pronounced Al-ambra, the 'h' is mute in this case, following the phonetic rules of Spanish.
The term “ingeniator” appears as early as the end of the 8th or beginning of the 9th century in connection with public works, fortifications and military machines. Already in Roman times, inclines were used to carry water from one point to another thanks to the aqueduct.

Los europeos tenemos el sistema métrico decimal desde el s. xix. Antes cada pueblo, región país nación tenia su medida, peso y longitud y moneda.😊

One of the most famous brands of mineral water in Spain, Lanjarón, comes from the town of the same name that sits on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Mulhacén is the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula, not in Spain. The highest peak in Spain is Teide, in the Canary Islands. Sorry for the mistake.
Thanks!
La montaña más alta de España es El Teide en las islas Canarias, el pico del almulhacen en sierra Nevada es el más alto de la península Ibérica.
