Islam, a population of 800 millions whose flourishing civilization has shined during nearly ten centuries,
spreading from the foot-hills of the Pyrenees to the asian borders.
Descended from the Mesopotameans,
Greeks, Byzantines, Persians, Indians, the Arabs have constituted a relay between Antiquity and Renaissance and beyond,
by producing a knowledge and an intellectual crossbreeding that are unmatched, artistic and scientific and
brilliant in one language, the arab. Through arts, sciences, history and geography, time and space,
ISLAM LAND proposes a journey from Toledo to Lahore, crossing Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Syria,
Iran and India and discovering the writing, astronomy, architecture, mathematics, representational art, music,
medicine and literature, guided by the specialists of the arab world.
