#seriously just look up Islamic scholars in historical Africa and tell me you aren't impressed

[friendoftheelves]

I really just wanna see more (any really) dark academia aesthetic based off Islamic countries because they never get any love but their scholarly pursuits fueled the world back when Europe was too small to notice, I wanna see academia aesthetic from Egypt where the library of Alexandria was once the greatest in the world, from Asia where the countries thrived before colonisation

I just wanna see dark academia from not romanticised Britain or Europe for once

#none of the dark academia ever has any connection with the current Britain #it's all just a romanticised version of past Britain #but there are more academic hubs then Europe #and some of them had more to their name #seriously just look up Islamic scholars in historical Africa and tell me you aren't impressed
