What was ibn battuta's impact on history?
he is important by his journeys--------------------------------------------Ibn Battuta is important because of the fact that he actually documented or recorded all of his travels. Wherever he went to and whatever civilizations he encountered, Ibn Battuta always documented his own feelings towards their customs and traditions, political and social setup. His recordings were all put into a book called the Rihla. What is important about this is that without his recordings there would have been many undiscovered civilizations. Historians would have never knew about these smaller civilizations without Ibn Battuta's book.
Who was ibn battuta?
Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta (Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد ابن عبد الله اللواتي الطنجي بن بطوطة‎) (born February 24, 1304; year of death uncertain, possibly 1368 or 1377) was a Muslim Marinid Berber[1] scholar and jurisprudent from the Maliki Madhhab (a school of Fiqh, or Sunni Islamic law), and at times a Qadi or judge. However, he is best known as a traveler and explorer, whose account documents his travels and excursions over a period of almost thirty years, covering some 73,000 miles (117,000 km). These journeys covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors and his near-contemporary Marco Polo. At the instigation of the Sultan of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, several years after his return, Ibn Battuta dictated an account of his journeys to a scholar named Ibn Juzayy, whom he had met while in Granada. This account, recorded by Ibn Juzayy and interspersed with the latter's own comments, is the primary source of information for his adventures. The title of this initial manuscript تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار may be translated as A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling but is often simply referred to as the Rihla الرحلة, or "Journey". Whilst apparently fictional in places, the Rihla still gives as complete an account as exists of some parts of the world in the 14th century. Almost all that is known about Ibn Battuta's life comes from one source-Ibn Battuta himself. In some places, the things he claims he saw or did are probably fanciful, but in many others, there is no way to know whether he is reporting or storytelling. However, due to the complexity and thoroughness of his accounts, we are left to assume that his chronicles were in fact true. An impact crater on the moon, the Ibn Battuta crater, is named after him. A themed shopping mall in Dubai, the Ibn Battuta Mall, also bears his name, with some of his earlier research and inventions in displays scattered throughout its corridors.
How did ibn battuta influenced the age of exploration?
He began his travels when he was 20 years old and the main reason was to go on Hajj. This took him 24 years and went to most of the Islamic world, North Africa, West Africa, Middle East, India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. His accounts were published in his Travels. European explorers didn't read his book and scholars do not believe he actually visited all the places he described. It wasn't until the beginning of the 19th century that he was known about outside the Muslim world. A German traveler named Seetzen got a collection of manuscripts in the Middle East that included an abridged version of Ibn Battuta's writings. Three extracts were published in 1818 , so this is 400 years after the first European explorers sailed.
