The view of this place still amazes me." Moorish architecture have been modified and maintained for over six hundred years since the African Moors were sacked out of what became Spain on February 2nd, 1492 CE, as they lost their last stronghold; Granada. This had happened through onslaughts that were engendered by the efforts of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella de Castile.
The Moors( known then in Iberia as Mauri/moros), had marched out of Africa, through the strait of Gibraitar (gabrielle, Jabel Tariq), under the leadership of a warring, islamized African general, known as Tariq... and had taken over the lands of the Visigoths and parts of the land of the Franks(French people today), in 711 CE.

The question remains this, how come Africa(where the first universities came into existence and where the first group of humans to ever build in stone, existed) and India, China; some of the earliest civilizations, were pulled behind by western Europe, through the simple use of gunpowder that came out of China... and the simple use of a book: the Bible.... While Europe and her cousin, America, an entity built on stolen lands, with the sweat and blood of Africans, had maintained such dominance in modern times, through the Power of Nuclear bombs, jet fighters and 'economic manipulations'. And if Africa was pulled to the ground, as it was the case, how did China, under the same Yolk, shook it's head off opium and crack, to start building? But why has Africa not pulled herself up, faster, off her yoke, as did China, which was the initial target of subjugation, before Cristobal Colonand stumbled on the Americas, while seeking a western ocean route to Asia, in order to get resources to develop Europe out of the dire conditions of the 'dark ages?' And at the same time, Europe discovered the richness of Africa, and to a good extent, India from Marco Polo's writings.

We shall be taking a brief look at this, from a historical perspective.
