Long before laptops and programmable machines, three brothers in ninth-century Baghdad were building robots. Muhammad, Ahmad, and al-Hasan ibn Musa ibn Shakir — collectively known as the Banu Musa — authored the Book of Ingenious Devices, a collection of over one hundred automata including a programmable flute player, a self-trimming lamp, and a trick vessel that pours three different liquids from one spout. This episode explores how these polymath engineers, trained at the House of Wisdom, combined Greek hydraulic theory with their own innovations to create the earliest known programmable machine. Lucas and Luna discuss the political patronage that supported them, the mysterious 'Library of Wisdom' they endowed, and how their work influenced later European automata. They also examine the Banu Musa's other contributions: geometry, astronomy, and the translation of ancient Greek texts. A story of curiosity, creativity, and the persistent human drive to build things that seem to come alive. #BanuMusa #BookofIngeniousDevices #Automata #HistoryofEngineering #HouseofWisdom #Baghdad #Abbasid #IslamicGoldenAge #ProgrammingHistory #Hydraulics #RoboticsHistory #MuhammadibnMusa #AhmadibnMusa #HasanibnMusa #AlJazari #GreekScience #TranslationMovement #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
