@barkas, indeed. Also the triangular sail, which allow the Portuguese to navigate down the African coast and reach the Cape of the Good Hope, and then go “back up” via the other side of the Atlantic (possibly getting an idea of where is Brazil, decades before Columbus reached America).

On Judaism, consider the Persian influence in early Judaism – probably all 3 monotheistic (aka Abrahamic) religious are initially influenced by key concepts from Zoroastrianism… some of the tribes of Israel had links there… but that’s another story…

Odd thing to say, as the religion these people claim to follow (and the “book” attached to it) is a reworked and simplified (i.e. monotheistic) believe system started in what is now Iran and Iraq. And if it wasn’t for “Arab” maps and maritime science, Europeans would never been able to start their colonial sea expansion and, subsequently, the great-great-great parents of this scum would have reach the Americas … just saying.

The best TV show IN ENGLISH… plenty of better TV show in other languages… just saying.
