00:05In 651, a delegation from Arabia arrived at the gates of Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Empire.

00:11They brought gifts, gold, silk, spices, and sacred words.

00:16But it wasn't just what they carried, it was how they lived.

00:19Chinese records described them as people who prayed five times a day.

00:23They washed before each prayer, and they traded with a kind of honesty the empire had rarely seen.

00:28Emperor Gaozong welcomed them with full honors.

00:30He gave them audience not just for their offerings, but for their presence.

00:42That single visit sparked centuries of exchange, ideas, faith, art, trade, flowing between two of the world's oldest civilizations.

00:50No conquest, no campaign, just a quiet beginning and a legacy that still echoes.
