| LEGACY OF ARAB CULTURE
The Arab genius,which grew out of the meeting between“the marvels of Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt,the mysteries of India and the Far East, the exploits of the Phoenicians, the boldness of the Carthaginians and the wisdom of the Greeks and Romans, left in its wake - more than the astrolabe or the calligraphy – the mark of a model form of tolerance. Such was the Andalou wonder: a great moment of the past to meditate in the present. |
