Working with the world's leading academics, 1001 Inventions engages with the public through educational media and interactive global exhibitions, in order to highlight the shared cultural and technological inheritance of humanity.

Since it launched in March 2006, 1001 Inventions has successfully educated more than a million people, promoted cross-cultural understanding and strengthened social cohesion.

everytime they talk about muslim heritage and inventers they always make sure to ad " derived from the greeks etc ... " i hat eit when they say that they do it on purpose so people don't give to much credit to muslims..facts are muslims invented it and they should not say " but they got it from greeks " and this and that
