Read it.
One of Spain’s most enduring historical mysteries is close to being solved as experts undertake a project to decipher more than 10,000 Arabic inscriptions adorning the walls and ceilings of the Alhambra palace in Granada.
Wonder how many of them just say “Hey, we’re really great!” and “Kill the infidels!”?
The Nasrid motto – “There is no victor but Allah” – is the most common inscription found so far.
