Algebraic problems were being documented as far back as 1650 BCE - 2219 years before Mohammed was born.
Coffee dates back to the 9th century, 562 years before Mohammed was born.
The first astrolabe is documented c. 220 BCE in Greece, 789 years before Mohammed was born.

The Slavic people are not named after their connection to slavery.
The name “Slavic” originates from the ethnonym “Slověne,” which was used by the Slavs themselves.
This term is derived from the Proto-Slavic word slovo, meaning “word” or “speech.” The implication here is that
