It is a collaboration between Eastern Roman History, HistoryMarche and Warhawk.
I was responsible for the research and script of the video with some helpful edits from HistoryMarche's team. I also outlined the Egyptian campaign and battles.
Man, I`m happy your channel is thriving and growing I remember when you were at a thousand subscriptions or so, keep up the great work 💪
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the trailer! And yes, I am watching the video from the other channel right now!
Looking forward to this. Specially after seeing your collaboration with History Marche on the same subject.
Nice adaptation of the intro from War of the Worlds!
I'm a sucker for this kind of late roman / early byzantine content. I know a lot of useless trivia nobody cares about lol.
Sorry if I take for myself some space but if anyone plays Age of Empires 2 DE I made a custom campaign called "Constantinople - The end of the ancient world (324-627)" that, like the title implies, aim to capture the transformation of the eastern roman empire (from the late Constantine to early Heraclius) into its own new medieval/christian thing.
From the same series I made a campaign about Kusaila and Dihya, the last rulers of pre-muslim Romano-Berbers, in that very peculiar time between the Vandal defeat and the coming of Islam (covers from 647 to 703). And two custom scenarios, one about the battle of Adrianople (378) and the other about Augustianis/Wogastisburg (631), the latter is not too well known but deals with Samo, the Gallo-Roman merchant who created the first slavic kingdom!
They're all very tough I must admit but I think there's a lot to enjoy if you like the late antiquity theme!
PS: I'm also in the process of making a western roman campaign set in the 4th century.
I hope you talk about the reaction of the local Christians to the Muslim invasion I've seen many people say that the local eastern Christians welcomed the Muslims but if you read contemporary Christian sources like John of Nikiu you get the opposite impression.
I extensively read John of Nikiu for the research of this video. He is often horrified by what is going on but it is also true that many of the persecuted Monophysites joined with the Muslims. For some people the Muslims were liberators from oppression for others they were terrifying and bloodthirsty conquerors. Most of this is from John of Nikiu.
In addition to what EasternRomanHistory said, we shouldn't forget that the authors of our sources also had other motives such as political ones. It's possible that stories were exaggerated to paint the "enemy" in a bad and themselves in a good light. I presume, a measured judgement wouldn't have been a good look for a devout Christian in this case. Although it's hard to tell admittedly.
Always seems that people just say "and then Egypt fell to the Muslims". Love to see a more in depth look on the topic.
The roman republic was greater then the empire
Fun Fact:
The invaders never called themselves "Muslims", nor did they call their belief system "Islam" at that time.
Huh, so what did they call themselves? Do you remember your source for this information?
The God's sent the Arabs to destroy the romans
I refuse to accept this calamity! You are lying! Take it back! Roma Aeterna!
I blame Sophia Loren
That would certainly be the Carleton Heston response.
The Egyptians were never Romans they were colonized by Romans no one felt sorry for the Roman fail in Egypt
I did 😢
