00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,640
Hello! We are going to continue talking about Spain in the Middle Ages. The Muslims built many

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:19,440
beautiful buildings like the Great Mosque in Cordoba and the Alhambra in Granada. First,

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:28,199
let's look at the Great Mosque of Cordoba. In the top diagram, you can see the fountain,

4
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:41,460
courtyard, minaret, and prayer hall. The horseshoe arch is characteristic of Hispano-Muslim

5
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:51,820
architecture. And here you can see the beautiful prayer hall. In December, I got to go to Cordova

6
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:57,979
and see this mosque. I thought it was beautiful and I felt grateful to be standing in a place

7
00:00:57,979 --> 00:01:07,019
where so much history has taken place. I'm curious if any of you have visited the Great Mosque of

8
00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:18,219
Cordoba. Now let's look at the Alhambra, which is in Granada. In the top picture, you can see

9
00:01:18,219 --> 00:01:25,980
the courtyard of Camaras. Here's the entrance. We've got the Hall of the Two Sisters,

10
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:39,500
Courtyard of the Lions, and Hall of the Kings. There are many details within this historic

11
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:50,090
building. You can find geometric patterns and calligraphy. This image shows the Hall of the

12
00:01:50,090 --> 00:02:08,400
two sisters. You can see the plaster work and tiles. Here we have a concept map for

13
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:22,219
all Andalus. It is divided into four groups. We have the four stages, society,

14
00:02:22,219 --> 00:02:36,569
parts of the city, and legacy. First, we have the four stages. Al-Andalus went from a dependent

15
00:02:36,569 --> 00:02:49,860
emirate to an independent emirate. Then it was the Caliphate of Cordoba, and then the Taifa

16
00:02:49,860 --> 00:03:04,039
kingdoms. Society. Muslims, Christians, or Mos-Arabs, and Jews all lived together in

17
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:12,270
Al-Andalus. Christians and Jews could live anywhere, but they had fewer rights than the

18
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:22,599
Muslims. Parts of the city. There was the mosque, where Muslims would pray, the suq,

19
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:26,759
which is the marketplace where the merchants bought and sold things,

20
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:29,240
the Medina,

21
00:03:30,539 --> 00:03:35,439
and the Alcazaba, which is the fortress where the governor lived.

22
00:03:37,629 --> 00:03:38,069
Legacy.

23
00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:46,229
Al-Andalus introduced new agricultural techniques,

24
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:48,530
papermaking,

25
00:03:49,909 --> 00:03:50,389
mathematics,

26
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,990
and language.

27
00:03:53,909 --> 00:03:58,349
Okay, that's all for now. Goodbye!
