St. Mark was one of the Gospel writers, and a companion to St. Peter. He died in Alexandria, Egypt, but his amazing tale has much left to be told. St. Mark was buried, and in 828, Italian sailors went to recover his body, as a relic. The problem was, the Muslims were in control of Alexandria, and getting something such as this out would prove very difficult, but the sailors came up with an impressive plan.
Muslims are very much against anything to do with pork, so with this knowledge, the Italian sailors took the sarcophagus of St. Mark which they had located, and placed it beneath a large shipment of pork. The border inspectors would not go near the pork, and let the boat go out of port without being thoroughly inspected.
The body of St. Mark was transported to Venice, where he soon became its patron saint. A most unbelievable Basilica was built in honour of St. Mark, which is adorned with gold, rubies, diamonds, and many other fine jewels.
The design of St. Mark's Basilica is inspired in some ways by Muslim architecture. At the time, Muslims were very advanced in science and math, and several Muslim architects were hired to work on this magnificent project. At the time, Muslims may have been more advanced technologically than Christians.
The Basilica of St. Mark is an amazing Church and Shrine to one of the writers of the Gospels, which record to life of Jesus Christ.
muslims were never advanced at any time in any field ; proof is that in saudia arabia the cradle of islam there isn't any sign of civilization or advanced technology left by islam from any era
ReplyDeletewhat you think about islamic advanced technology is incorrect; what muslims did was they invaded and islamised the old civilizations surrounding arab peninsula and translated all science books to arabic and learned all the professions from the masters of that time and killed them afterwards then took credit for themselves, you can see mosques of India look like Indian architecture in Turkey they look like Byzantine heritage and so on and so forth
