HOW BAGDAD BECAME THE CENTER OF THE WORLD

For over 500 years, Baghdad was the center of the known world. Home to the legendary House of Wisdom, the city became the heart of science, mathematics, medicine, philosophy, and trade during the Islamic Golden Age. Scholars from across the world came to Baghdad to study, translate ancient knowledge, and make discoveries that still shape our lives today. But in 1258, the Mongol invasion destroyed one of the greatest centers of learning in human history. This is the story of Baghdad's rise, its golden age, and the catastrophic fall that changed the world forever.
