3 Brothers, One Genius Mind The “Avengers” of Technology in Ancient Baghdad

More than 1,200 years ago, long before modern technology, something extraordinary was happening in Baghdad.

This episode tells the story of three brothers — Muhammad, Ahmad, and Al-Hasan, known as the Banu Musa Brothers. They weren’t just thinkers. They were builders. Inventors. Engineers way ahead of their time.

From self-adjusting machines to early programmable devices, their ideas sound almost impossible for the ninth century. Yet they were real — written, tested, and used.

How did three brothers create technology that wouldn’t be seen again for centuries?

And why does their story challenge everything we think we know about the history of innovation?

⚙️ This is just a glimpse.

🎧 For the full story of the ancient “Avengers of technology,” listen to this episode until the very end.

This is just a glimpse of a much bigger story. If you want the full experience and deeper context, the complete episode is available via the link in the description.

Harun-ul- Rashid was the fifth Abassid Caliph(786-809) A.D. Harun was son of Al Mansur, third Abassid Caliph. Harun-ul-Rashid ruled the Abassid Caliphate during the Golden age of Islam. This period is idealized in the famous The Thousand and One Nights but not only due to its wealth but attitude towards knowledge. As the translation movement was expedited, the works from Greeks, Indians, Romans and Chinese civilizations was translated. Harun-ul Rashid used to pay handsomely to scientists, translators and scholars and kept him in his court. Harun-ul-Rashid established the grand Bait-ul-Hikmah , House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where many scientists and scholars of the age would study in the future and enlighten the world by being the beacon of learning and advancing human thought in their respective fields. Harun-ul-Rashid formed Abassid's alliance with the Chinese Tang Dynasty. Harun-ul-Rashid received a Frankish mission offering friendship. Harun sent gifts with the emissaries, including a clock to Charlemagne's court where it was considered magic due to its hourly mechanical movements foretelling time. Harun-ul-Rashid died in 809 AD and is buried in Imam Reza Shrine, Mashhad, Iran. #harunalrashid #abbasid #abassidcaliphate #houseofwisdom #baitulhikmah #baghdad #khwarizmi #harun-al-rasheed #umayyad #knowledge #history #historia https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEAzhyjsAv/?igshid=16q3sv5vpwgsi

Taken from “The Great Bait Al-Hikmah: Kontribusi Islam dalam Peradaban Barat”, an Indonesian version of “House of Wisdom: How The Arabs transforms Western Civilization”, written by Jonathan Lyons

This book describe about the era of Abbasiyah and Umayyah Caliphate, especially describe about the muslim scholars who invented and discovered various disciplines, long time before the rennaissance era in the Western happened.

Inspired by Greek & Hindu tradition and religious belief, the muslim scholars developed and revised the old perspectives into more practical and understandable, such as the invention of zero number, hospital, and Astrolabe application which these inventions influenced the work of Western scholars in the medieval era.

Throughout this book, it can be concluded that science has no single history. While people acknowledge that the beginning of science invention is in the rennaissance era, the history shows that the science movement starts earlier.

The book also shows how one culture absorbs the science from another culture, and the absorption becomes new cultures for its civilization.

So, pointing those arguments above, why do we not try to learn something from other cultures?
