[QUOTE="tchetcha, post: 26949, member: 111"] [b]Re: Your favourite Alternate History[/b] Hi Lucidus, Yes, at least in the Iberian Peninsula. The Arabic Invasion started at 711 and remained until the 12th century. The first Portuguese King, was not just the king that gave birth to this country, he was also the one that reconquest the territory to the Arabs. They were very "positive invaders", because they brought with them the Arabic numbers, really good knowledge about the world, the sky, the sea... We still have many buildings from that time. Here is a pick of how it looked like in the 10th century: [img]http://www.orbilat.com/Maps/Iberia/Iberia_0900.gif[/img] Here is a pic on how it looks today: [img]http://www.enchantedlearning.com/europe/iberia/outlinemap/map.GIF[/img] They were very advanced. Portuguese sailors used the knowledge they gained with the Arabic sailors and use them to discover the passage by sea to India. Here are some of those instruments: [img]http://www.mat.uc.pt/%7Ehelios/Mestre/X147qua.jpg[/img][img]http://www.dlh.lahora.com.ec/paginas/infantil/astrolabio1.jpg[/img] They are still good instruments for sailing, I know that they point them to the sky and calculate the distance from the stars. Hi ironside100, Yes, always. But I never understood this alliance, because we don't have that much in common, but the truth is that it exists and as brought really good things for both countries. :) [/QUOTE]
