The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that guickly led to advances in technology.

The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings. " At this time, London was a small town with dirty streets, and Berlin was a farming village.
In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.
