The French in the 12th century called themselves the "Franks", still we call them the French because their society and language already changed back then compared with the Frankish times. How people called themselves is irrelevant, Byzantine is an "historian" name to make it easy to differentiate the latin-based Roman empire and the medieval hellenistic Roman empire. It's convenient, so both names are correct.

Whenever seeing map videos about the middle ages, I feel that it is overwhelmingly surprising for the Roman state to have existed since the archaic regal times, with Ancient Carthage, Athens and Sparta as its contemporaries, until the times of Mongols and Ottomans, with relatively prolonged and strong cohesion as a state. Arab Caliphates from the Rashidun to the Abbasids, after making the Roman state a shadow of its former self and depriving it of the naval superiority within the Mediterranean, along with of the long-held name Romans' Sea(Mare Nostrum), could maintain its unified hegemonic status only for 2 century and some decades from mid-7th to midlate-9th century.

Can’t wait to finally see this video. I can’t wait to see the conclusion to this 3 part series. Edit: Just saw the video. The amount of detail you put into these videos never ceases to amaze me. I only have 2 questions. What does the asterisk by the Khazars mean. Also why did you decide not to include the rulers of Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu since they controlled a significant amount of the Middle East.

[@renerpho]

I'm not entirely sure what the asterisk refers to, but the word "unknown" deserves an explanation here. We do know many Khazar rulers by name, but we don't know exactly *when* they ruled (there is usually an uncertainty of many decades). This makes it impossible to add them to the video.

[@avantelvsitania3359]

What a coincidence, I was just seeing right now your previous videos about the History of the Middle East. This one is also an incredible work, but I was surprised not to see the effects of the recent Civil Wars, like ISIS. For example, you could also have put the Iraqi Kurdistan in a lighter purple colour, like you do with client states, since it’s a very autonomous region, culturally different from the rest of Iraq. In the Caucasus, Artsakh could have been mapped as well. But I understand recent history is not easy to interpret. Great work anyways, congratulations.

[@Albukhshi]

Frankly, when you compare it to the history of the Near East as a whole, ISIL isn't more than a blip--random noise. It's not even the most important thing he left out (though admittedly you're right that it would be nice to see). The guy making the video for example failed to show a LOT of things: the Zubayurid state, the Blues (Azariqah in Arabic: it literally means "the blues ones"), the first Muslim Civil War, the Abbasid revolution, the effects of the Tahkim afterward, or the civil war between Al-Amin and Al-Ma'mun, or the anarchy at Samarra (though he does show the aftermath). And that's just in the span of 200 years marked simply as "The Caliphate". It's like Showing the Roman Empire without its crises...

Remember that when the Roman Capital of New Rome fell along with the last Roman Emperor in 1453 AD, the government was exiled in the Despotate of Morea, still free Roman territory. After the Despotate of Morea had fallen (along with other roman polities), this government fled to the Mani peninsula, and formed the Republic of Mani, by Roman Greeks who were still free. This Republic of Mani never fell to the Turks, always repeled their occational invasions and declared war on them.
