Invented by Muslim’s used by the world.
In 9th century Spain, Muslim inventor Abbas ibn Firnas designed a flying machine -- hundreds of years before da Vinci drew plans of his own.
so i know we have heard a lot from our parents, grandparents, teachers and historians as to how great the Muslims were and how they invented most of the things. You must have also heard about Muslim’s being really good eye doctors, dentists and flying around on glider kind of things. Some of them must have looked to you like jokes, to me they sometimes felt that way as theres a famous qoute that history usually is Biased. So it depends on who is writing it.
