Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age

Baghdad (Arabic: بَغدَاد) is the capital of Iraq and originally the former capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. During the Abbasid period, it was one of the foremost cultural, intellectual, and economic centers of the world, presiding over the Islamic Golden Age, but this status ended with its decimation[1] at the hands of Hülegü Khan and the Mongol Empire in 1258.[2]

History

After Khepri completed her initiation as an Egyptian Hidden One, Bayek tasked her with establishing a home for the Hidden Ones in Baghdad, an order with which she complied, taking with her part of an Isu dagger.[3]

Around 820, the Persian polymath al-Khwarizmi was appointed as the astronomer and head of the library of Baghdad's House of Wisdom.[4] Among his students in astronomy and mathematics was Basim Ibn Ishaq, who was a frequent visitor of the library in his youth.[5]

At the height of the Islamic Golden Age, Thābit ibn Qurra emerged as a leading visionary in the fields of mathematics, mechanical engineering, medicine, astrology, and astronomy. Although born in Harran, he moved to Baghdad and occupied his years with teaching, study, and innovation until his death in 901.[6]

In 1936, archaeologists discovered a set of artifacts that they referred to as the "Baghdad Battery", which unbeknownst to them were Isu power sources that used temporal energy as fuel.[7]

Layout

The city was divided into four sections: the gardens of the central Round City or Madinat As-Salam, the southeastern trade region of Karkh, the northern industrial Harbiyah, and the western scientific district of Abbasiyah which contained the House of Wisdom.[8]

Behind the scenes

After being mentioned a number of times throughout the Assassin's Creed series, Baghdad make its first appearance in the 2023 video game Assassin's Creed: Mirage, which features Basim Ibn Ishaq as the main protagonist.
