okay
class I'm giving each group of you a
different era of History to research and
the question is what impact did your era
have on the modern world so Sarah your
group has the ancient Greeks Ravi you
got the Romans and Danny's group gets ah
yes a bit of a challenge for you you get
the
middleages some even call it the Dark
Ages Waring
see how you get on yes Miss yes
[Music]
Miss so Serene yes you get
fa is that the library I guess
so how are the Dark Ages going to have

on the modern world never was a period
of History so poorly named don't
touch it's
Priceless and I suppose someone's been
filling your head with the usual
nonsense eh a thousand Wasted Years a
black hole in history am I right um yes
sort of you see it's always the same you
assume it was all mud disease death and
dis destruction with marauding Mobs of
Barbarians ripping down the good of
former civilizations burning and
plundering as they went nothing of any
worth invented either eh oh no no no no
no
no go on
Bey sorry to bother you come on it's
probably not worth it everyone knows
that the Greeks and Romans invented
everything anyway oh did they
now and you're sure about that are you
[Music]
you know I might just have something for
you you seem to be out for the
task
I suppose I
could follow
me I've got just the book for you

[Music]
indeed now I know I left it around here
somewhere
ah here it
is
now take take a
look if you
[Music]
dare what's going
[Music]
on Welcome to the Dark Ages or as it
should be known the Golden Ages who are
you I am Al
jazer engineer and ingenious inventor I
thought you said this was the Dark Ages
it doesn't look very dark that's because
it's all a matter of perspective my soon
to be illuminated friend of course there
parts of the world that weren't dark at
all but in a civilization that stretched
from Spain to China the golden rays of
discovery and invention sha over
everything what civilization the Muslim
civilization my young friend through
Scholars and scientists of various
faiths some of the most important
discoveries known to man were made at
this time discoveries that Drew on
knowledge of the Ancients but have more
connections with your modern world than
you could possibly ever imagine like
what
well all sorts of things I got to get a
picture of this
[Music]
I knew it was a good idea who are you
allow me to introduce iben
Alan a great scientist whose ideas led
to the invention of the camera you
invented the
camera I laid the foundations for modern
cameras by explaining how our eyes
work I found a way of projecting an
image onto another surface through a
small hole in a dark room later called
Camera
Obscura think of all the things that
evolved from this discovery cameras
Cinema all share the same
principle
[Music]
cool Look Out
Below who's that that's my good friend
abas iin fernas who gave raised up to
the heavens passionate in his belief
that man could fly whoo indeed he dared
to dream about flying a thousand years
before the right
Brothers do you know you all take your
jet setting holidays for granted so it
any seems fair to remember abas ibin
fernas stand by I'm ready for takeoff
[Music]
you did forget one thing though a tale
useful for landing ah my back is there a
doctor in the house did someone call ah
my old friend why don't you introduce
yourself to my young guests I am Abul
kasim alawi many call me the father of
surgery did you actually do surgery back
then of course we did in fact many of
the surgical tools that I invented are
still used in your modern
hospitals excuse me a patient needs my
attention scalpel I think I may need
some stitches in that case I'll use cat
gut cat gut from the gut of animals
perfect for stitching up internal wounds
your surgeons are still using it today
sorry mustache
[Music]
who's
she that's Mariam Al asabi one of the
many brilliant women of her time she
made sophisticated
astrolabes Astro what
astrolabes they show the sky and the
stars on a small flat plate you can hold
in your hand think of them as ancient
calculating or timekeeping devices today
you have your watch your compass
satellite navigation helping people and
explorers travel the
world science at its brilliant best and
all these things were developed during
the Golden Ages and that's just the tip
of the iceberg there were thousands of
other inventions covering all areas of
life and in the years that follow their
influence spread across the whole of
medieval Europe so you see
wasn't so dark after all what about you
me what did you invent well I don't want
to be bigheaded but I made some
groundbreaking advances in engineering I
suppose my most significant Discovery
converted rotary motion into linear
motion using a crank and connecting rod
it's essential in pumps and
engines in fact I have no idea how the
the industrial revolution could have
happened hundreds of years later without
such a device not that I ever get the
credit
I but my crowning Glory was my
amazing time telling
machine my legendary elephant
[Music]
clocker it's a clock
yes dozens of components
collected from different cultures around
the world Indian
Greek
Arabian
Egyptian
[Music]
Chinese wow a United Nations clock that
is pretty cool does it actually tell the
time wow yes of
course if it wasn't for me thousands of
people would be late for
everything speaking of time with better
get you back and remember spread the
word this was a golden age and I've only
shown you a tiny part of this wondrous
time there are countless other
scientists and inventions directly
connected to your modern world it is
going to have to find out for
ourselves no wait
[Music]
whoa did you
yeah that wasn't quite so
boring come on we're going to be
[Music]
late so what have we learned the Romans
the Greeks the Rance and the Industrial
Revolution all have great relevance to
us
today where's Tenny group
just ah our Intrepid Dark Ages group you
probably had a much harder time finding
any connections with the modern world
actually miss that's not strictly true
[Music]
the
[Music]
the truth is out there just keep
