The sharing of culture was vital for the Abbasids. Even their predecessors, the Umayyads, had been fascinated by the knowledge of other cultures and societies. The Abbasids took things one step further when they created The House of Wisdom: an important library and institution that funded scholars, learning, and most importantly translation.
This is the final episode of Baghdad Soundwalks, but stay tuned for Season 2 where we introduce you to those who lived, schemed, and made medieval Baghdad what it was. From brilliant scholars, to powerful caliphs, from eloquent poets to the women behind the throne, Season 2 brings you the lives at the heart of the Abbasid empire. **Episode 1 drops October 16**
