[00:00:00]Baghdad did not yet exist in 800 BC. The city was actually founded in 762 AD by the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mansur in what is now Iraq. So, the more accurate reference would be Baghdad around 875 AD when the city was at the height of its golden age. During the 9th century, Baghdad became one of the largest and most advanced cities in the world. It was the center of science, trade, and culture within the Abbasid Caliphate.

[00:00:29]Scholars from many regions traveled to Baghdad to study mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and ancient Greek philosophy.

[00:00:37]At that time, the famous Bayt al-Hikma or House of Wisdom was established as a place where scholars translated and expanded the world's knowledge. The streets of Baghdad were filled with busy markets, massive libraries, and magnificent palaces, earning the city a reputation as the heart of Islamic civilization. Its location near the Tigris River also made Baghdad an important trade route connecting Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. At the peak of its power, Baghdad was considered one of the richest and most influential cities in the world.
