The History of Ibiza - Dominique Sanson

X - The Moors I

IX - Byzantinians	XI - The Moors II

In 707 A.D., the captain ABD Allah Ibn Musk raids the Balearic's with his fleet. From then on the islanders will feel the Arab influence and from 902 A.D. on will be integrated into their civilization over a long period of tolerance and prosperity. Arabs bring with them improvements in agriculture and irrigation.

You can see A noria (water wheel), peasants going to market, an orchard where Sufi teachers sit and converse deeply in the shady orange and lemon groves.

Below: An astrolabe, coins, delicate earthenware and earthen stove.
