Echoes of the Caliphate

Under a sky bruised by a burning sunset, the Mongol tides converge upon the great circular walls of Baghdad. The golden domes and turquoise-tiled minarets, once symbols of a flourishing Golden Age, now stand silhouetted against rising plumes of smoke and the glint of a thousand spears. It is a cinematic glimpse into the end of an era, mirrored in the dark, steady waters of the Tigris.

Commemorating the Siege of Baghdad, which concluded on this day, February 10, in 1258—a catastrophic turning point that marked the end of the Islamic Golden Age.

Wenn ich nicht jeden Tag jongliere,

würde ich mich alt fühlen.

Sehr alt.

Vielleicht sogar so alt

wie ich bin.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1258, the #Mongol forces of the Ilkhanate under Hülegü sacked #Baghdad, burned its great libraries & #BaytAlHikma, ending the #AbbasidCaliphate. The calamity is a symbolic end to a #GoldenAge of Muslim dominance in science, maths, philosophy, and the arts.
