S2|E7|P1 - Middle Eastern history YOU NEED TO KNOW - Dr. Roy Casagranda

This is the history that was HIDDEN from us ALL our lives!In this episode, I'm joined by Professor Roy Casagranda, an American Political scientist and historian. This conversation tilted my worldview in a way I didn't expect... Throughout the episode, we created an alternative view of history, one that is absent the pen of the coloniser. We introduce you to figures from the Arab and Islamic world that rarely receive mention because it is an inconvenient truth that would dwarf the discoveries and inventions made by western scientists, mathematicians, and the like. It leaves one to question whether the discoveries and philosophies of people including Newton, Kepler, Bacon and Machiavelli where really their own or rather borrowed from those by Arab and Islamic scholars. The most fascinating point the Professor raised was that if the intelligence and innovations known more than 1500 years ago weren't skipped over, Man would have landed on the moon in 1469 not 1969. Let that sink in.Note: this is PART 1 of a 2 part series with Dr. Roy.In the second episode, we uncover the story of U.S. imperialism in the Middle East.Stay tuned!Timestamps⏱️2:07 Introduction6:20 Inside Dr. Roy’s life8:35 Global shift to the far right14:30 Power controls the narrative21:31 Erasure of Arab history29:07 Ibn al-Haytham - Newton’s untold teacher33:57 Was Machiavelli inspired by Muslims?36:56 European censorship of history44:09 Arab failure to create a narrative50:56 Middle East - a former beacon?54:48 Conclusion____________Support our work herehttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TEAEE8YVEU996
