Here's a fascinating video about Arabic numerals, and the Islamic golden age. For 4 centuries, the area now defined as Iraq and Iran was the center of intellectual wisdom. Then, a religious leader declared that numbers were the work of the devil - and that era died, never to return.

Never seen those in Spain from 711 to 1492, truly an amazing feat.

Excellent read, thank you. Had no idea this was even a misconception people had. It's really annoying how some atheist dude bros go out of their way to make religion and belief look bad when compared to science and rationalism, as if they did not and do not coexist peacefully. There is way more credible things to be critical abour.
