Guest: Aamer, podcaster & writer Recorded: September 13, 2020 We're joined by fellow history pedant Aamer to tell the story of one of the great military empires in history—the Arab Conquests in the 7th and 8th centuries, stretching from modern-day Portugal to Kyrgyzstan. In part 1 of our series with Aamer, we go back to pre-Islamic Arabia to better understand the world that the prophet Mohammad was born into, and end with the death of Mohammad in 632 AD.
