Abbasid

Exploration

Unified by the new religion of Islam, the early Arab caliphates expanded rapidly across the Mediterranean and eastward into Persia. In this world, Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid dynasty, thrived as a center of learning and culture. Arab scholars advanced astronomy and mathematics, philosophy and art - until, like the fall of night, the Mongols appeared on the eastern horizon.
