About this episode
The episode explores the historical significance of the Banu Musa, the Sons of Moses, and their contributions to invention as featured in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage sheds a rare light on Banu Musa - the Sons of Moses. These genius brothers play a small but crucial role in the game, aiding the player with a wealth of revolutionary gadgets to overcome enemies and obstacles. Did these inventors really exist? And if they were so clever, why do we not list them alongside Archimedes, Thomas Edison or Leonardo Da Vinci? Dr Ali Olomi from Layola Marymount University returns to the podcast to introduce Matt Lewis to the Banu Musa. As an expert on medieval Baghdad and consultant on the video game, who better to shed light on these lost geniuses? Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
