Baha al-Din Qaraqush
Cairo Citadel in the 19th century
- ... that Baha al-Din Qaraqush built the Cairo Citadel (pictured) on behalf of Saladin? Source: Sobernheim, p. 613: "Saladin gave him the task of building the citadel of Cairo"
- ALT1: ... that Qaraqush, a regent of Ayyubid Egypt, was highly esteemed by medieval historians, but in the centuries since his name has become a 'byword of stupidity'? Source: Sobernheim p. 613: "was appointed to represent the Sultan when the latter was out of Egypt...he designated his son al-Malik al-Mansur his successor and Karakush his regent." and the direct quote by Sobernheim later on.

Overall: 
The article is new enough, as it was created by Cplakidas on January 23, 2022, and it is long enough at 5680 characters (941 words) "readable prose size." The article is well written, with verifiable sources and inline citations. The hooks are each an appropriate length, and they are interesting with verifiable content. The image is released into the public domain. QPQ is confirmed as complete. I prefer the original hook with the image, but both hooks are acceptable. Thank you for another thorough and comprehensive submission! West Virginian (talk) 02:50, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
