the third caliphate, the abbasid caliphate was ruled by the abbasids, a dynasty of meccan origin which descended from hashim, a great-grandfather of muhammad, making them part of banu hashim, via abbas, an uncle of muhammad, hence the name. caliph al-mansur founded its second capital of baghdad in 762 which became a major scientific, cultural and art centre, as did the territory as a whole during a period known as the islamic golden age. from the 10th century, abbasid rule became confined to an area around baghdad. from 945 to 1157, the abbasid caliphate came under buyid and then seljuq military control. in 1250, a non-arab army created by the abbasids called the mamluks came to power in egypt. in 1258, the mongol empire sacked baghdad, ending the abbasid caliphate, and in 1261 the mamluks in egypt re-established the abbasid caliphate in cairo. though lacking in political power, the abbasid dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until the ottoman conquest of mamluk egypt in 1517.
