Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Since the profound impact of the Moors on European civilization is not taught in Western schools, almost no Europeans or Americans know about it now. It was erased from Western history after President Jefferson defeated the Moors in 1804. It was also then that Europeans and Americans started claiming that the ancient Greeks were the authors of Western civilization. However, recently, British authors have explained that all the ancient Greeks studied in Egypt, the center of learning, which is the real source of Western culture. Because the US Founding Fathers worshipped ancient Egypt, we are all living in ancient Egypt now -- with eyes wide shut. Egypt's profound influence was not just on the Greeks. When "The Hermetica" (Egyptian knowledge) was introduced in Europe in the 1500's, it jump-started the Renaissance and Reformation and may have led to the Enlightenment. In his book "Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization Volume I: The Fabrication of Ancient Greece 1785-1985 (Volume 1)" British author Martin Bernal took some steps in the right direction. You may be interested in my article "Oscar Is Based on Egyptian God Ptah" at https://www.activistpost.com/2022/03/oscar-is-based-on-egyptian-god-ptah.html which discusses the work of British author Peter Gandy, co-author of the book "The Hermetica: The Lost Wisdom of The Pharaohs."
