Hall of Scholars

Where books are translated and preserved, and art and science are advanced.

The eastern nations are renowned as centres of learning and enlightenment, creating some of the earliest universities. Although institutions such as the Platonic Academy existed in Greece hundreds of years before, these new centres of learning were more philosophical clubs than schools per se. For instance, the Sassanid Academy of Gondishapur and the Persian School of Nisibis, as well as the Pandidakterion in Constantinople, are widely regarded as the world's first universities. Gondishapur became such a centre of medical learning that many scholars credit it as the birthplace of the modern hospital system. The 'House of Wisdom', also, established in the late 8th century AD in Baghdad, became a repository of knowledge and progressive thinking, and as such attracted many scholars and intellectuals to creating a melting pot of ideologies. As a result, the House of Wisdom became, by the ebbing of the 10th century, the largest library in the world.
