I think Byzantine history is absolutely fascinating. I’m interested in numismatics and lately I’ve started to acquire Byzantine era coins. It led me down quite the rabbit hole and it’s become my new favourite subject.

Short Answer: Muslim Long Answer: East and West Catholic Church split. And as Medieval era slowly declining so does Constantinople. When Mehemet II conquer Constantinople and change it Istantbul. The West quickly reject East Rome.

I think Byzantine history has had a great surge in popularity over recent years thanks to platforms like this and the great history channels like this.

Is because they’re “speaking Greek”

The Message is a western made film

Roman Empire was mediterranean empire not European Slavic, German and Scandinavian they destroyed the empire While Egyptian Levantine North African were the most important part of the Roman Empire and there’s a lot of Roman emperors were Arab and Semitic (Aramaic Syriac and Phoenician) or partly Arab Even when Arab control the land from China to France They didn’t destroy the Byzantium (eastern Roman ) actually they translate all the Greek philosophy and Latin manuscript Till the central Asian Turk arrived to the Middle East with the German/French crusader And destroyed both the Byzantium and Arab empires Even the Ottoman when controlled the Byzantine empire they called themselves as sultan of Rüm which means the Roman Emperor

Current conflict should be solved this way .

The thing so annoyed me is how dude so convince one side of the story is unreliable & acting the other side is like 100% facts, while we all know the history that we've been taught today is distorted on so many level. let alone history about 1000 years ago, the history of ww2 which is less than 100 years ago is fuked up big time by those so called historians lol

Ricimir was an excellent ruler. While the Roman elites watched the empire become a Germanic mess, he won countless battles. He forced the capital to invest in the frontier and was shrewd diplomat, ruling behind the throne but is written like a villain since he forced the elites to spend money on the state. Majorian gave tax cuts to earn his good name before his incompetence got him killed.

1:55 what’s always interested me (and what I feel like has never been discussed), is that the ottomans were weakening as a world power in the 17-1800s, but that’s also the time period in which ottoman culture became more widespread in Europe. Part of it is probably just that I was born after 2000 and so have never lived in a time when even a memory of Turkish power existed, but the place of “the Turk” in European politics and culture in the long 17th century has kind of fascinated me the last few weeks. It’s so hard to explain what I mean specifically, so hopefully I’ve gotten my point across

They had a few chances after Manzikert. The Seljuks collapsed. If anything, the warring between eastern and western Christians led to the Fourth Crusade and allowing the rise of the Ottomans.

Slight nitpick: 'Caesar' is third declension, so the nominative plural of 'Iulius Caesar' (which we use to reference the stirpes of the gens to which he belonged) should be 'Iulii Caesares' rather than 'Iulii Caesarii (as the nominative plural is the word stem plus -es in the third declension masculine and feminine).

Sufyan was main enemy of Prophet ﷺ , leader of idolaters (mushrikin), he lead their army against Muslims in Battle of Uhud and Battle of Trench, and he, as well as his son Muaviya, became a Muslims only after surrender of Mecca, with little choice left. Yet among Arabs it was considered too shameful to directly lie even against enemy. Another ruler who considered Prophet ﷺ to be truthful awaited "Paraclete", as described in Gospels, was Negus of Ethiopia, and he gave early Muslim refugees a shelter. So Negus and his kingdom kept in tact for 1400 years, until Muslims became too weak to shelter Christian Ethiopia against fascist Italy in 1936

5:46 it is not true by rule that his son in law turned to Christianity though I hope you fact check stuff like this about our religion and not share misinformation although you are way better than other non Muslim content creators but still this is very sensitive for us so please try harder and maybe try asking Muslim scholars near you alhamdulilah they are everywhere, thanks.

Jade is a stone ? How Carbon Dating 750 A.D. ?

Cyril and Metodius, Byzantine Christian theologians and missionaries, known as the Apostles to the Slavs, are very popular in eastern europe. Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron saints of Europe.

Basically , the "Enlightenment" being savage , barbaric , ignorant and stupid and Germanic writers being Xenophobic and appropriating .

BYZANTIUM BELONGS TO THE HISTORY OF THE ORIENTAL CULTURE. IT ONLY CALLED ITSELF "ROMAN" IN GREEK BECAUSE OF THE GOSPELS.

BYZANTINE EMPIRE WAS NEVER AN EXTENSION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, BUT AN ENEMY OF ROME.

It’s only not popular because it makes the Catholics have doubts.

Although I personally don't really like the term "Byzantines", I think it is valid for an essential reason: you can't talk about Romans who don't speak Latin.

Because muslims.

Octavian: I need to bribe my soldiers more than my illustrious grandfather.

People called Romans they go to the house?

Absolutely worth every minute!

If you draw a line from northen Africa to Mesopotamia then Persia and last but not least southern Europe, you get the most interesting historical area of the world.

Because their overly pious Christianity intrudes on modern sensibilities and makes them on the surface extremely mundane, combine that with the poor written sources which are a secondary symptom of said religion.

Voltaire on his way to have the shittiest takes in human history

Europe and North America successfully removed Egypt from Africa. They de-Africanised the culture, heritage, history and legacy of ancient Nile Valley civilisation, bequaething it to Europe and Asia. Yet, the genetics (y-DNA E1b1), language (Sudanic or Afrisan), Osteology (Africoid), hair texture, geography (Africa) and roots (Nabta Playa in East Sahara) point to the civilisation as native African

Ok German

I thought that was Shane Gillis in the thumbnail

byzantine is not based as ancient greece

I think the term is starting to be questioned because it was not used in the time of this empire

I think part of it was that the Habsburgs saw the Holy Roman Emperor as the true successors to Rome. Another thing was that Enlightenment rationalists and secularists saw Byzantium as an example of the divine right monarchies they disliked. Also some French Republicans were more interested in the Roman Republic, rather than the empire, though Napoleon felt differently.

Germans, thats why!!!

Mehmet II declared himself as the “Emperor of Romans” after conquering Constantinople in 1453. Hapsburg Frederick III was also calling himself the Emperor of Romans.” Hapsburgs found a solution to this problem by making up a name as “Byzantine Empire” for the real Roman Empire whose seat was in Constantinople. Holy Roman Empire headed by the Hapsburgs was the imposter: it was neither holy nor Roman.

Man, those doctrinal debates like the Filoque one seem so strange in modern times. They are literally debating an unfalsifiable question, if there is no conceivable way to check where does the holy spit originate from then why does it even matter? How many angels can dance on a head of a pin? Who cares, it’s unfalsifiable, so it’s not even worth thinking about. I’m so glad I was born after we came up with the scientific method and with empiricism.

I’ll bet it’d be much more popular if it was referred to as the eastern Roman fuckin’ empire as it was known to its citizens.

What this film name?

If Constantine XI and his followers hadn't persisted with their Unia with the Latin heretics, just 5 of them would have been able to save it, in accordance with Mehmet II's repeated dream showing a hand which only anti-unionist Patriarch Gennadius Scholasticus was able to interpret.

Anti-Christian bigotry among the intellectual class.

That thumbnail deserves a click.

I think it makes sense to say the eastern empire became Byzantium with the ascension of Heraclius. A new dynasty is established out of a provincial governor. They stop trying to reconquer the western territories. Their primary threat shifts from Iran to the Arabs. And shortly thereafter, the western empire is restructured under foreign rulers with no Roman heritage. The Roman Empire was The Empire. The Byzantine empire was just one power amongst a multitude.

If I were to venture a guess, it's because there were scant few conquests during the Byzantine period. It was mostly them stabbing each other in the back, then losing more land, then stabbing each other in the back and losing more land. The Turks invaded Anatolia in 1071 because the Byzantine Emperor who hammered out a perfectly reasonable compromise treaty with them was deposed and replaced by a new emperor who tore up the treaty and wouldn't pay the Turks their bribe money. The Crusaders sacked Constantinople in 1204 because the Byzantine Emperor whom they were allied with was killed, and the new emperor ordered the Byzantine army to attack them.

Nonsense history, next video he will probably say that the Russians invented the double headed eagle, and the next one we will hear that the Slavic people brought the civilisation to Europe! Double headed eagle was used widely throughout the Balkans by the Illyrian tribes who habited the southern Europe prior to Greeks the romans and the later Byzantine empire, there is plenty of evidence crafted on stones but all of that evidence excludes the Russians and their side of history! Also Russia isn’t the only country that uses double headed eagle on their flag, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia also use the double headed eagle!

constantine the illyrian the gave the pathetic greeks and serbs their pathetic christianity

Actually catherine did controlled the romanian principalities of moldavia and walachia. She minted sadagura coins from 1771-1774 from bronze that she got by melting the turkish cannons and than she used her own grivnes as a currency around here. Her influence in europe is much more than in your video

The west always had an inferiority complex towards Byzantine thought. If it wasn't for the fall of Constantinople and the Italian renaissance (brought to you by Byzantine scholars and thought leaders leaving from the conquered empire) the west would still believe in Wotan and sacrifice children and virgins. It is poetic for the student to try to discredit the teacher. To try to saw the branch you are sitting on.

Are we finding out the origins or is this just a tale?

Honestly, I think Byzantine sounds cooler than eastern rome, but I think both names are good and valid.
