@Trapset_Agent Ukraine, USA, UK, North Korea, URSS, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, France... all of them westernnized societys with feminism, nothing to explain there, we already know those.
Why you didnt mentioned Vietnam?
We dont know if the scythian fighting women were a defensive militia or true warriors, but I dont think they were soldiers.
So, in the end the only non western female soldiers presented are the agoji.
Why you didnt included the army of Nzinga?
Or the female guard of the mauryas? They were the indian version of the agoji.

@awabgabir1972 And wich new discoveries did the ottomans with the observatory?
I hear that they just kept observing the moon for calculate dates and counted stars, but discovred nothing new.
Or the gurkhanis, what they did discover?
Not really, although with a lesser size, still was a big city and the house of wisdom still existed. Or not?
Ibn Khaldun said that one of the worst type of rulers is the nomad herders, he treats his subjects as cattle.
He said too that any family not working for the ruler died in povrty and any rich man who wouldnt kiss the ass of the ruler family would be killed for steal him.
😆, and if we mention the opinion he had about the arabs 🤣
Ibn Yubays said that Saladin was the only muslim leader in Levant who wasnt strangling his subjects with high taxes, some even went with the crusaders fleeing from the taxes.
The fitna was unavoidable, just after muhamamd death eveyone started to kill each other in the ridda/first fitna, the winners were divided in 2 parties who ended killing each other too later.
The waa ruined the state, and for cpmensate it they had to start colonial wars.
In a city state everyone knows the politicians, but not in an empire, there each region has his favored politician and woont agree in an ellection, at elast with the tch of the time.

@PigeonJr. Guy, are you saying that muslim science was stopped by an european colonialism who hapened 6-4 centuries after the stop?
Not traumatic for Egypt, India, Sahel or swahili. Magreb has its own mogol invasion in the form of the fantic berbers.
Well, muslim india was basically a turk/iranian colonislism, so if iranians were traumatised and bookless and turks only thought with the sword, is comprehensible.
Why muslim golden age simply didnt continued in Africa?
Or returned with the ottoman splendor?
Egypt... Oh, right, Saladin burned the libraries of Egypt.
Sahel was being isalmised, no books in others, no knowledge to them.
And why not in the swahili city states? too small?
I know he was a scientist, but didnt he said that if science cant proof God existence, then is lesser to faith?
You are sure occasionalism didnt influenced?
That muslim golden age depended on Iran and alAndalus? Then it wasnt muslim, just iranian and iberian.
I think Ruyard ha a strong point with the reason being th replacement of the arabs with turks as the ruling chaste.
Warriors arent scientists. Merchants can be.
Mmmm, another theory comes to my mind.
Civs are like people.
New ideas come only from young.
So, once the civ matures, is unable of do science.
I think that was what Spegler thought.
Mmm read about algazali existencal crisis? Interesting. Where I can?
