Why are the Arabs considered the heirs of ancient culture? What did they themselves bring to world culture?

Arabs are considered the heirs of the Roman Empire, because these peoples were careful about the evidence and achievements of antiquity. They contributed to the development of science and art. They did not seek to destroy objects of ancient culture. Often, thinkers used Greek research results. The main feature of the Arab peoples was the avoidance of images of people and animals. They did not depict the listed figures in their paintings and frescoes. Arabesques and calligraphy were popular among these peoples.
