Ibn Battuta - The Great Traveler - Extra History - Part 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- 📜 Ibn Battuta: The Great Traveler - Ibn Battuta set out for the city of Mecca and expected to be gone for a little over two years, maybe three if he took his time. He had no way of knowing that he would not see his home city or town for another 24 years. In that time, he will have traveled almost the entirety of the Islamic world, gone for over 75,000 miles, and write a travelogue that scholars still refer to understand the world of the 15th century. He's also a bit of a narc.

Correction: Muslims do not bow down to the footprints of Abraham near the Kabba. Instead, they pray and bow down to the God of Abraham near the Kaaba
Yes I was about to point out this correction myself
Near the kaaba? Our god does not resoded here it's his house but doesn't mean he live here
@@bosbanon3452 I understand what he meant, wrong choice of words probably
@@bosbanon3452
No one said that.
Yes, agree. Thank you for pointing this out. We muslims only saw the footprint as a monument. Kabba meanwhile only serves as a main center point for our prayer to god.
I'd like to point out that Hajj isn't only an Islamic duty of men but also women
By any Muslim memory serves.
Was just about to say 👍
yup

Ibn Battuta: is a judge.
Also Ibn Battuta: is very judgemental.
That makes sense.
Yes, interesting remark.
That's match his career 😂🤔
It’s his job to be judgmental😂😂
If I see U doing wrong by god law is that make me judgemental
I guess he kinda has to be. What kind of judge would he be if he didnt do everything to enforce the law? Cant just let things go on a whim.

@@instanttregret Actually that would make a fun game, although it would probably play more like We The Revolution. A game where the main mechanic is mediating disputes. We start off with simple cases, and by the end the player is either very familar with Islamic law, or the fictional law code of the fantasy world if this isn't a Travels of Ibn Battuta game. The other part of the game would be a walking sim with RPG elements, as you explore cities and experience the overarching plot.
Not exactly he was a travelling judge in a time when 99% of the laws in islamic countries were coran verses and holy scriptures.
I need to be able to that
No. He was more like a judge.

@@dengajing2015 Syams means Sun, and Din means Religion in Arabic, if I'm not mistaken
Since ‘Ibn’ is mentioned twice in the full name, so was Batutta the name of his grandpa?
Just call him shams

Dont know why you are portraying Tangier (a big city in North of Morocco) where Ibn Battuta was born, as a desertic/arid area ? Check your facts, that region of Morocco is green and full of forests and water.

😂😂😂😂
Oh, that's natural.
Who doesn't?
I mean they eat pork so yeah
They eats anything that moves 😂
Ah yes. Traveling back when you didn't need Passports and visas. Those were the days of true freedom.
Not entirely correct.
Many of these places had border outposts that rigidly enforced who came and went. The video itself even points out he had to meet with the Turkish Slave Empire (The Mamluks).
To be fair though, this was mostly due to regulating material. Some stuff was taxed heavily while other things were illegal to bring in entirely.
@@Hagashager True. Then again they don't really need much of a paperwork to settle in said "country" like we do nowadays
ah yes, back when the world was so lawless that literally every other kilometer there were cutthroats, robbers, murderers, renegades, wild animals, war, famine, chaos and of course psychotic rulers.
those were the days indeed... -_-
And also under tyrant rulers
@@amerlad Speaking purely in the context of travel paperwork, there were basically no restrictions on immigration. That's all I meant.
Correction:
At 7:40 there's no bowing to the footprints in Hajj.
yeah is it not like to just as in "here you are, witness it yourself one piece of the past history of Ibrahim/Abraham his search and quest of Allah"
not a place to worship of Abraham.
but i guess in this video context and creator intent maybe bowing as in paying respect to the dead and not as a bowing worship type ? i guess the earlier one was correct.
probably they mean the sunna prayer after the tawaf, which is usually behind the foot prints
@@12mjk21 yes, it is recommended, though not required, to pray from behind maqam ibrahim after completing tawaf. I'm not 100% sure on how historical it is because I seem to remember the fatwa declaring such was issued in the 20th century. I could be wrong though, Islam theology is not my expertise.
Don't worry brother, hopefully it will be corrected in the "Lies" video
Ibn Battuta: far from home
Lonesome cowboy
7:20 That isnt the correct location of Mecca , Mecca is way closer to Medina on the map
Yeah. He showed Mecca at Yemen for some reason.
Honestly, I picked up on that too. Still. The maps aren't exactly supposed to be to scale.
It is placed where Sa'na would be.

I don't know exactly when they decide to go with the 5 videos format to everything, but is been a while. Remember, extra credits initial focus was not history videos.
Justinian didn’t really get one 12 episode series, but rather two 6 episode series. They did one series then let their Patreons vote on whether to continue the story or not.
5:50 I think the term you’re looking for is snitch
No, since he wasn't reporting breaking of a law but rather the complacency of the law itself.
Hell yeah!I still can’t believe you haven’t done Ibn Battuta yet.
Edit: Also,I’m really excited for the rest of this series,but these pronunciations are kinda killing me.
This is only the 39th full series (so also sponsored and one of two parters). So nobody has been snubbed if they have not gotten episodes yet.
Noor Azraq: could you reply to my reply with a list of mispronounced words (and the correct way to pronounce them) for those of us English-speakers who want be batter able to pronounce Arabic words? Thanks. I don't care if its long.
Jeff Benton I speak urdu not arabic, but the only mispronounciation i could find was “Hajj”. the a should just be pronounced fast instead of how he pronounces it at around 3:22
Noor Azraq they did briefly mention him in their series about mali
JTA True,but that’s not really a dedicated series.
Thank you for saving my world history grade.
I really liked the nod to the old Acclaim game NARC with the font you guys used.
“Name’s Battuta. Ibn Battuta. How yOU doin’?” Man’s an ancient James Bond, or Joey.
