Baghdad under the Abbasids? 1.2 million people. Seeing inklings of this in my lecture about the Crusades. The professor is fresh off the plane from U.K. Previous African and Asian history courses painted a much broader view than the assumptions that were made yesterday about the spread of Islam.You also have to keep in mind that Western thought is tediously European and if London had a population of only 50,000 while Henry VIII was busy making history than obviously there was nobody on earth back then duh. I mean, Troy could barely have fielded a AAA varsity football team.
