WHEN BLACK-MEN RULED THE WORLD

Some Things You Did Not Know About the Moors of Spain

1. The Spanish occupation by the Moors began in 711 AD when an African army, under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from northern Africa and invaded the Iberian peninsula ‘Andalus’.

2. A European scholar sympathetic to the Spaniards remembered the conquest in this way:

a. The reins of the Moors horses were as fire, their faces black as pitch, their eyes shone like burning candles, their horses were swift as leopards and the riders fiercer than a wolf in a sheepfold at night . . . The noble Goths [the German rulers of Spain to whom Roderick belonged] were broken in an hour, quicker than tongue can tell. Oh luckless Spain!

Quoted in Edward Scobie, The Moors and Portugal’s Global Expansion, in Golden Age of the Moor, ed Ivan Van Sertima, US, Transaction Publishers, 1992, p.336

3. The Moors, who ruled Spain for 800 years, introduced new scientific techniques to Europe, such as an astrolabe, a device for measuring the position of the stars and planets. Scientific progress in Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geography and Philosophy flourished in Moorish Spain.

4. Basil Davidson, one of the most noted historians recognized and declared that there were no lands at that time (the eighth century) “more admired by its neighbours, or more comfortable to live in, than a rich African civilization which took shape in Spain”

5. At its height, Córdova, the heart of Moorish territory in Spain, was the most modern city in Europe and the world. The streets were well-paved, with raised sidewalks for pedestrians. During the night, ten miles of streets were well illuminated by lamps. This was hundreds of years before there was a paved street in Paris or a street lamp in London. Cordova had 900 public baths – we are told that a poor Moor would go without bread rather than soap while the then

Queen of England never had a bath!

6. The Great Mosque of Córdoba (La Mezquita) is still one of the architectural wonders of the world in spite of later Spanish disfigurements. Its low scarlet and gold roof, supported by 1,000 columns of marble, jasper and and porphyry, was lit by thousands of brass and silver lamps which burned perfumed oil.

7. Education was universal in Moorish Spain, available to all, while in Christian Europe more than ninety-nine percent of the population were illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At that time, Europe had only two universities copied from Spain, the Moors had seventeen great Universities! These were located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo in which the majority of the lecturers were women.

8. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, public libraries in Europe were non-existent, while Moorish Spain could boast of more than seventy, of which the one in Cordova housed six hundred thousand manuscripts.

9. Over 4,000 Arabic words and Arabic-derived phrases have been absorbed into the Spanish language. Words beginning with “al,” for example, are derived from Arabic. Arabic words such as algebra, alcohol, chemistry, nadir, alkaline, and cipher entered the language. Even words such as checkmate, influenza, typhoon, orange, and cable can be traced back to Arabic origins.

10. The most significant Moorish musician was known as Ziryab, the Blackbird who arrived in Spain in 822. The Moors introduced earliest versions of several instruments, including the Lute or el oud, the guitar or kithara and the Lyre. Ziryab changed the style of eating by breaking meals into separate courses beginning with soup and ending with desserts.

11. The Moors introduced paper to Europe and Arabic numerals, which replaced the clumsy Roman system.

12. The Moors introduced many new crops including the orange, lemon, peach, apricot, fig, sugar cane, dates, ginger and pomegranate as well as saffron, sugar cane, cotton, silk and rice which remain some of Spain’s main products today.

13. The Moorish rulers lived in sumptuous palaces, while the monarchs of Germany, France, and England dwelt in big barns, with no windows and no chimneys, and with only a hole in the roof for the exit of smoke. One such Moorish palace ‘Alhambra’ (literally “the red one”) in Granada is one of Spain’s architectural masterpieces. Alhambra was the seat of Muslim rulers from the 13th century to the end of the 15th century. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

14. It was through Africa that the new knowledge of China, India, and Arabia reached Europe. The Moors brought the Compass from China into Europe.

15. The Moors ruled and occupied Lisbon in Portugal (named “Lashbuna” by the Moors) and the rest of the country until well into the twelfth century. They were finally defeated and driven out by the forces of King Alfonso Henriques. The scene of this battle was the ‘Castle of St. George.’

Beginning in the 12th century and continuing for hundreds of years, the Inquisition was infamous for the severity of its tortures and its persecution of Jews and Muslims. Its worst manifestation was in Spain, where the Spanish Inquisition was a dominant force for more than 200 years, resulting in some 32,000 executions.

day 43 - global weekly character illustrations ( blazpu / Kheng )

I had never paid much mind to the global weekly character stuff, do they all have their favorite foods there? If not ig it's just another way these two match <3

anyway I have hcs regarding these :3

one of my biggest hcs that you have definitely seen if you're familiar with any of my rp blogs is that rui is a lemon fanatic and this did stem from his favorite food being ramune soda candy ! because ramune is a lemon lime soda and named after the japanese phonetic spelling of lemonade, given that rui is sensory seeker 2000 I think he would like sour citrus fruits :3

i also hc that mizuki regularly makes fries herself. turns out that different cuts and different oils make them taste very different! her favorite to use thus far is shoestring cut + peanut oil (projecting. if you haven't tried this I beg you to).

[draculasstrawhat]

Also, going to throw in a non-linked bit about pigments - if you’re using commercial paints, the reason your purples, pinks, oranges, and greens don’t work is that your reds, yellows, and blues aren’t pure enough. Paint is made from blended natural or synthetic pigments and most commercial paints in the ‘primary’ colours are actually carefully blended ‘tertiary’ (or beyond) colours.

For example, a pigment labelled Scarlet tends to have a lot of yellow in it already - so if you mix it with blue to get purple, you’ll end up with brown. Lemon Yellow already has white and (I think) blue in it - which means it already has a slightly green tinge, but also that the “weak” qualities of yellow are exacerbated by the white. It’s going to *disappear* in to blue, and muddy in red.

If you want to get a handle on this, what you need to do is buy ‘true’ pigments that are essentially unmixed, and go from there.

(Everything below applies specifically to the UK and acrylic paints, so there may be some variance globally and in water colour/oil.)

My first term of studying art at A Level, our teacher instructed us to buy:

Cadmium Red

Cadmium Yellow

Ultramarine Blue

Titanium White

(And there were two other blues, one of which I think was Cobalt and the other I genuinely can’t recall because it was over 20 years ago.)

Any other colour we wanted, we had to mix from that. No black, no green, no purple. No beautiful yellow ochre. If you want it paler, add white. If you want it darker… work it out!

It was, and I cannot stress this enough, a massive fucking ballache, but it was also one of the most valuable things I’ve done. I don’t know that I could still do it now, but within four months, I could mix my own lilac, or black, or indeed yellow ochre.

And once you have a feel for that, you can start to get a feel for the colour composition of all those other colours the art shops sell, and incorporate them, too.

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

Kimchi vs. Indian Pickles: How Do Their Flavors Compare?

Few side dishes add a punch of flavor to your meals better than Kimchi and Indian pickles. These two culinary stars—Korea and India — may come from totally different worlds, but both bring bold vibes and major taste games.

Kimchi, the spicy, tangy Korean favorite, is all about fermentation and balance. It has a zesty kick and a unique flavor that screams “Korean soul food.” Meanwhile, Indian pickles are a flavor explosion, offering everything from spicy and tangy to sweet and savory, depending on the region.

Both are rooted in rich traditions, and their flavors are as iconic as their cultures. Whether you’re a fan of the bold and fiery or the tangy and funky, these two side dishes are proof that food can truly connect us across borders. Ready to dive into this flavor-packed journey? Let’s go!

The Origin of Kimchi and Indian Pickles

Kimchi is a staple in South Korea, made by fermenting napa cabbage and Korean radishes. It’s spiced up with gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), garlic, ginger, and sometimes fish sauce. Believe it or not, it’s been around for over 3,000 years! What started as a way to preserve veggies during cold Korean winters has turned into a beloved dish that’s full of bold flavor and culture.

On the other side of the world, Indian pickles reflect the country’s diverse food scene. Every region has its version, often using ingredients like mango, lemon, gooseberries, or veggies like carrots and cauliflower. The pickles are preserved with oil, salt, and a mix of spices, creating everything from tangy and spicy to sweet flavors. Each one tells the story of India’s rich food traditions.

Kimchi Flavor: The Heart of Korean Cuisine

Kimchi has a one-of-a-kind flavor that combines tanginess, spiciness, and umami. It’s a staple in Korean cuisine, loved all around the world, and a must-try for anyone who’s into food. But kimchi is more than just a tasty dish—it’s a symbol of Korean culture, often found in dishes like soups, stews, and pancakes.

What makes kimchi special is its fermentation process, which not only gives it that bold flavor but also makes it super nutritious. Packed with probiotics, vitamins, and antioxidants, kimchi is great for gut health and boosting immunity, making it a popular choice for anyone looking for healthy Korean food. From traditional kitchens in Korea to global food markets, kimchi is a key ingredient that represents Korea’s rich food heritage and vibrant flavors.

Indian Pickles: A Symphony of Spices

Indian pickles, or “achaar,” are all about bold and vibrant flavors. They’re a must-have in Indian homes, known for taking even the simplest meals to the next level. From the tangy kick of mango pickles to the rich, aromatic flavors of lemon or gooseberry varieties, Indian pickles have a wide range of tastes that suit everyone’s preferences.

While kimchi gets its flavor from fermentation, Indian pickles use a different method. They’re preserved with oil, salt, and a special mix of spices like fenugreek, mustard seeds, turmeric, and chili powder. This not only boosts the flavor but helps them last a long time. Usually enjoyed with rice, bread, or curries, Indian pickles are a key part of India’s food culture and have become popular all around the world.

Indian pickles are super versatile, adding bold flavors to even the simplest meals.

Korean BBQ Sauce and Its Specialty

Korean BBQ sauce is a basis of Korean cuisine, famous for its perfect balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. This versatile condiment is essential for creating the iconic Korean barbecue experience, where thinly sliced meats are grilled to perfection and paired with an array of side dishes.

The sauce typically features a blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and often a touch of fruit such as pear or apple for natural sweetness and tenderizing properties. The addition of Korean red chili paste or red chili flakes adds a subtle heat that enhances its depth of flavor without overwhelming the palate.

Each ingredient plays a crucial role in delivering a harmonious taste profile that elevates grilled meats like beef bulgogi, pork galbi, or chicken.

What makes Korean BBQ sauce special is its ability to transform everyday ingredients into something extraordinary.

It acts as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce, making it an indispensable element in Korean grilling culture.

The natural sugars in the sauce caramelize beautifully during grilling, creating a glossy, slightly charred exterior while locking in moisture and flavor.

Beyond traditional barbecue, this sauce has found its way into global cuisines, inspiring fusion dishes like Korean BBQ tacos, pizzas, and stir-fries. Its universal appeal lies in its adaptability and the tantalizing flavor it brings to any dish. Korean BBQ sauce truly captures the essence of Korean culinary artistry and continues to delight food enthusiasts worldwide.
