A Home Of Innovation

Due to a potpourri of knowledge from various parts of the globe, Baghdad became a melting point of many innovations, like an early version of the telescope. Baghdad was tolerant towards all kinds of races and nations, and welcomed opinions from people who were in the minority, learning from everyone, albeit for a short time.

Baghdad became well known for serious scholarly work like the 9th Century fables called Arabian Nights, and had a lasting image of a city full of wonder and adventure.
