My admirations to the video. It's a very comprehensive one. In fact, this is one the best videos on history topics I have ever seen. Coming from Bulgaria, I have always been interested in the history of Byzantine and Southeast Europe but I lacked a detailed knowledge about the history of the Arabs and the Middle East. I realize that the founders of the First Bulgarian Empire took advantage of the problems Constantinopole had with the Arabs and now I'm just "connecting the dots" and filling the gaps in my knowledge of the bigger picture in the 7th century... Thank you once again.

Thank you for calling them "Romans." This is historically accurate. The Eastern Empire and its citizens called themselves "Roman." Even up until 1453 there was no longer an Eastern Empire outside of the Theodosian Walls when Constantinople fell to the House of Osman. "Byzantine" was not used until a few hundred years ago. It was Western European bias and prejudice because "Rome wouldn't fall to Muslims," but they did. Even today in Romania, they strongly consider themselves the remnants of the Eastern Empire and "Roman." Romanian is a Romance language. They claim to trace their origins back to Trajan's conquest of Dacia.

As a Black man I Iove your impartiality. Most European based history channels shy away from things like you showed at 27:24 where the Byzantines had painted the native Egyptians as Black people.

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, with stars to fill my dream. I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been. To sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen. Who talk of days for which they sit and wait When all will be revealed.

Talk about some amazing lyrics ! I was listening to this when I was traveling up the Nile and watching the sunset over the desert

You should’ve mentioned the name of the berber king who wiped out the muslim army In biskra Aksil AKA Koceila, which is my name ❤️. And my sister’s name is Kahina the queen who wiped out the muslim army after Koceila’s death. Thanks a lot I learned so much from your videos. Thank you
