Rabat Casablanca Settat Mulay Abdallah ... Chellah This third itinerary could be classified as an Almohad journey par excellence Throughout this period the city of Ksar el Kebir was an important convergence point of this network. Heading north-eastwards from Marrakech, the traveller must first cross the 27-arched bridge which, although originally of Almoravid construction, was rebuilt by the Almohads in the twelfth century. Further on is Sidi Bou Othman the first important stop where an important hydraulic complex was built in the Almohad period. Settat Back From here we move on to the prosperous industrial town of Settat alcazaba al-qasbah , fortified enclosure) was constructed here by Moulay Ismaïl at the end of the seventeenth century and beginning of the eighteenth. Settat, with its traditional "Fantasia" stud-farms, has long been an important trading centre for Arab horses. The route of the Almohads uniting Marrakech would once have headed towards two ports, Tit (present-day Mulay Abdallah south of El Jadida) and Azemmour, both of which became religious pilgrimage sites from the twelfth century. The ruins of important Almohad fortifications can still be seen in Tit.

54. Arabic Numerals numerals that the Indian number system reach Europe. alBanna al-marrakushi sform of the numerals. He gave this form of the numerals in http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/HistTopics/Arabic_numerals.html

The Arabic numeral system Arabic index History Topics Index The Indian numerals discussed in our article Indian numerals form the basis of the European number systems which are now widely used. However they were not transmitted directly from India to Europe but rather came first to the Arabic/Islamic peoples and from them to Europe. The story of this transmission is not, however, a simple one. The eastern and western parts of the Arabic world both saw separate developments of Indian numerals with relatively little interaction between the two. By the western part of the Arabic world we mean the regions comprising mainly North Africa and Spain. Transmission to Europe came through this western Arabic route, coming into Europe first through Spain. There are other complications in the story, however, for it was not simply that the Arabs took over the Indian number system. Rather different number systems were used simultaneously in the Arabic world over a long period of time. For example there were at least three different types of arithmetic used in Arab countries in the eleventh century: a system derived from counting on the fingers with the numerals written entirely in words, this finger-reckoning arithmetic was the system used for by the business community; the sexagesimal system with numerals denoted by letters of the Arabic alphabet; and the arithmetic of the Indian numerals and fractions with the decimal place-value system. The first sign that the Indian numerals were moving west comes from a source which predates the rise of the Arab nations. In 662 AD Severus Sebokht, a Nestorian bishop who lived in Keneshra on the Euphrates river, wrote:-

Editor by Nidhal Guessoum, Kuwait College of Technological Studies (c) 1996 Astronomical Society of the Pacific ``It is hard to describe what it is like to be living in a society whose culture is dying,'' wrote Egyptian human-rights activist Karim Al-Rawi. In Algeria today, to express an idea is to invite death, and the guns make little distinction among activism, apostasy, or astronomy. Algerian astronomy goes back over a thousand years to the times when scholars such as Al-Bitruji (known as Alpetragius in the West), Ibn-Rushd (Averroes), Al-Marrakushi, and Al- Qusuntini lived in Andalusia and North Africa. Their observations and calculations led to the design of astrolabes, the construction of time-keeping tables, and the critique of the Ptolemaic system [see ``The Science of Knowing God,'' March/April 1995, p. 28]. As Western Europe rose to dominance, the Arab-Islamic civilization faded away, leaving only the memories of great science. In its place came ignorance and antagonism toward astronomy, the products of a widespread confusion with astrology and suspicions of a clash with religion. A thousand years after Al-Battani (Albategnius) proclaimed astronomy the noblest and most perfect of sciences, second in importance only to religion, who could have believed that Algeria would have no astronomy education whatsoever at any level? There was the beginning of a renaissance in 1991 when a few American-educated Algerian astronomers established a graduate program at the University of Blida, 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Algiers. The physics faculty at the time included me and two other astrophysicists, and we had assistance from the dozen permanent and visiting astronomers at the Observatory of Algiers.

Shortcut to: th th th th ... th Centuries. th Century Muslim merchants reach China (Canton). Foundation of a paper factory in Baghdad; the first in history outside China. The Muslims use different materials from the Chinese, though. This is a development that would subsequently revolutionise learning. The paper industry spreads from Baghdad, to Syria and further West, until it reaches about a century later Europe (Spain) via Morocco. Mash'allah writes on the Astrolabe. He was one of the earliest astronomers and astrologers in Islam. Only one of his writings is extant in Arabic, but there are many medieval Latin and Hebrew translations of it. His most popular book in the Middle Ages was the `De scientia motus orbis,' translated by G. Cremonna in the twelfth century. Al-Tabari writes on Astronomy. Harun al-Rashid gives Charlemagne a clock that struck the hours. Foundation of the city of Fez by the Idrisids in Morocco.
