Many know the power of the Greeks and Romans on our modern culture, but few reminisce the significance of an equally great people: the Moors. In the book, The Moors of Spain, Stanley Lane-Poole reminds the world just how significant the Moorish culture was to the formation of the modern world. Lane-Poole retells how the Moorish Empire took hold of Spain when the Muslim leader, General Tariq Ibn-Ziad and his 7000 men and voyaged to the Iberian Peninsula. The army was “led by a hero”(hhhh) and took Spain by storm, leaving few cities untouched. The Spaniards fell to the greatness of the Moors. As the Moors took the land over, they brought with them a rich culture encompassing unique architecture that would leave a lasting mark in history.
