This tells the story of Abul-Abbas, an elephant given as a gift to Charlemagne by the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid. Abul-Abbas became a popular figure at the court of Charlemagne and was often featured in artwork and literature of the time. The video goes on to discuss how, after Abul-Abbas's death, his skeleton was preserved and put on display in the cathedral of Aachen, where it remains to this day.
