in the year 711, these north african muslims crossed the straits of gibraltar and quickly conquered theentire iberian peninsula, eventually converting most of its inhabitants. throughout the middle ages, for over 700 years, spain was a predominantly muslim society living under muslim rule. and that age shapes today's sight-seeing agenda. granada's dominant sight is the alhambra, the last and greatest moorish palace. nowhere else does the splendor of that civilization, al-andalus, shine so brightly. for two centuries, until 1492, granada reigned as the capital of a dwindling moorish empire. as christian forces pushed the moors further and further south, this palace was the last hurrah of a sophisticated civilization. while the rest of europe slumbered through much of the middle ages, the moorish civilization was wide awake. the math necessary to construct this palace would have dazzled europeans at that age. the moors made great gains in engineering, medicine, even classical greek studies. in fact, some of the great thinking of ancient greece had been forgotten by europe but was absorbed

exact source of the dollar sign, but the theory that i like best traces it back to the strait of gibraltar. long before columbus and others set sail for the new world, legend held that on each side of the strait of gibraltar was a pillar. and the story goes that on those pillars was an inscription meant to warn sailors who tried to venture out west, and the inscription said nec plus ultra. translated from the latin, it means nothing further beyond. for centuries, most europeans believe that there was nothing out there beyond the waters edge. of course, all that changed when columbus reached the americas, on what i would call europe's first trade mission. after word got out of the new discovery, king charles and agreed they the old saying, nec plus ultra, would be changed to simply plus ultra, further beyond. those pillars became some of the world's most enduring symbols. a symbol but still reminds us that opportunity and prosperity aren't confined within our own borders. they can be found further beyond, and that's exactly what i want to talk to you about today. at acxiom, we want to be th
