Sultans of Science, an online version of a travelling exhibition

“One thousand years ago in ancient desert cities, Islamic scientists discovered the principles of flight, defined the theory of vision, developed trigonometry and the numeral system that we use today, and pioneered techniques in quantitative chemistry. While Europe languished in the Dark Ages, Islamic cities had paved streets with kerosene street lights, and they used advanced methods for town planning and architecture. When these important scientific advances were transferred into Europe, they laid the foundation for the Renaissance. Sultans of Science, an MTE Studios travelling exhibition, brings this remarkable story of achievement to the world. Explore the scope of knowledge presented by this exhibition, showcased by some of the most prestigious museums in the world.” View it at http://www.sultans-of-science.com/
