Science in a Golden Age - Pioneers of Engineering: Al-Jazari and the Banu Musa Al Jazeera English 2015-10-27 | From the Iraqi Banu Musa brothers of the 9th century to the Andalusian engineer Abbas Ibn Firnas, to Al-Jazari who lived and worked in the 12th century – Jim Al-Khalili guides us through the work of the engineers and innovators of the Golden Age of science (9th - 14th centuries).

In Istanbul, Jim is shown the intricate clocks and sophisticated water pumps designed by 12th century engineer Al-Jazari. And he analyses the claims made of Abbas Ibn Firnas – who supposedly managed to get airborne all the way back in the 9th century.

Letters of Love, Letters of War: Algeria’s war for independence | Al Jazeera World Documentary Al Jazeera English 2024-06-28 | Algerian resistance fighters wrote heartfelt letters home in the 1950s. Few arrived but many remained unseen, until now.Algeria lived under French colonial rule for 132 years, from 1830 to 1962. Letters and correspondence provided evidence of Algeria’s long struggle to end French colonial rule in the 1950s. They enabled resistance fighters to send news to their families back home. Also, they offered a means for Algeria's nationalist political party, the FLN or National Liberation Front, to communicate secretly with its people on the ground.In 2011, historian Malika El Korso discovered a handwritten letter in a French archive. In it, written by 19-year-old Hassiba Ben Bouali while she was in the Algerian resistance, the young fighter expresses her love for her family, her unyielding determination to free her homeland and the pain of separation from her family. Three weeks later, Hassiba was killed in the Battle of Algiers.A soldier, Colonel Lotfi, sent a farewell letter to his wife two weeks before he was killed in a fierce battle and Ahmed Zabana wrote to his parents only a few hours before he was executed by guillotine.The film Letters of Love, Letters of War uncovers long-hidden secrets and moving personal testimonies of men and women who fought for Algerian independence in the 1950s.Connect with Al Jazeera World:‣ YouTube: aje.me/AJWplaylist‣ Twitter: twitter.com/AlJazeeraWorld‣ Facebook: facebook.com/AlJazeeraWorld‣ Instagram: instagram.com/_aljazeeraworld‣ Website: aljazeera.com/program/al-jazeera-world#AlJazeeraWorld #documentary #algeria
