the first historical accounts of Christianity in Ethiopia is from the fourth century. Missionaries actually coming from across the Red Sea and not down from Egypt as one would naturally assume. It makes sense since Ethiopia had long-standing trade contacts with Arabia. in the fifth century they followed Egypt into non-Chalcedonian Christianity. So they are Miaphysite Copts.

Fantastic Video Kings and Generals! A great historical first hand document for around 9:30 One description is given by the rhetorician Libanius of Antioch (314-392 CE) in a plea to the emperor Theodosius I: "(ed. the monks)...hasten to attack the temples with sticks and stones and bars of iron, and in some cases, disdaining these, with hands and feet. Then utter desolation follows, with the stripping of roofs, demolition of walls, the tearing down of statues and the overthrow of altars, demolishing one, they scurry to another, and to a third, and trophy is piled on trophy...and they are in disgrace unless they have committed the foulest outrage. So they sweep across the countryside like rivers in spate, and by ravaging the temples, they ravage the estates, for wherever they tear out a temple from an estate, that estate is blinded and lies murdered. Temples, Sire, are the soul of the countryside: they mark the beginning of its settlement , and have been passed down through many generations to the men of today. In them the farming communities rest their hopes for husbands, wives, children, for their oxen and the soil they sow and plant. An estate that has suffered so has lost the inspiration of the peasantry together with their hopes, for they believe that their labour will be in vain once they are robbed of the Gods who direct their labours to their due end." Source: Libanius of Antioch (314-392 CE) Oration XXX To the Emperor Theodosius, for the Temples, 8-10, trans. A. F. Norman, © The President and Fellow of Harvard College 1977, as found in Libanius: Selected Works Vol. II Selected Orations, Harvard Univ.

mate, you have the knack for creating wonderful content! first rate!

It's more complicated that that. The paganism in Late Antiquity's Greece had few in common with the Classic Greek Olympian dodecatheism. During this period, have been introduced in Greece many Eastern cults, like the one of Mithras, or even a mix of Egyptian and Greek divinities like Serapis, and even the Neoplatonic schools, didn't have much in common with the ancient philosophy (Neoplatonism had a lot of Oriental mystical elements in it, that the classic Platonic philosophy would have never accepted ). The decline of the old religion was already happening since the Hellenistic times. As for the destruction of the ancient monuments, well the barbarian invasions have a lot to do with this. The Germanic tribes, like the Herules and the Goths, launched devastating invasions to Greece for two centuries. Τhe Herules destroyed much part of Athens during the invasions of the 267 AD, and later the Visigoths of Alaric destroyed completely Olympia during their devastating invasion of 396-397 AD. Many ancient posts of Greece were sacked and destroyed much later, during the Ottoman occupation of Greece by the Europeans, like the barbaric French Catholic clergyman Michel Fourmont, who raised from the ground the remains of the Ancient Sparta in 1730 AD. Or the destructon of Parthenon by the Venetian troops of Francesco Morosini in 1687 AD. Or even recently the sack of many antiquities of Amphipoli by the German troops in 1917 during the First World War (old "habits" it's difficult to stop i guess...).

At a time when the majority of (those we call today Greeks) lived outside the geographic area of modern Greece, mainly Asia Minor, S.Italy & Sicily and many in Levant and Egypt (the two largest metropolitan Greek speaking cities then where Antioch in Syria and Alexandria in Egypt that where the third and second largest Megacities after Rome in the Empire) and all Hellenistic centres say in Syria Laodicea or Asia Minor (the 7 churches in west anatolia St. John mentions in the Revelations) Ephesos, Smyrni, Philadelphia, Pergamos etc speaking of the geographical region of todays Greece (if you did the video a little more than a century ago would you include only half of what is now Greece because these where the then borders?) makes little sense. Especially, if you still want to focus on the geographic region of mainland Greece and Aegean again cutting it off the western Asia Minor major Greek cities (most bigger than those of mainland Greece) distorts the reality of the time since west and east coast plus islands of the Aegean constituted an economic and cultural unity (outside the political wider one under Rome).

Not Rusia is to be mentioned ! Jumping history ? Russia was the last in christianisation . You will get used to mention Slav enlightening in Macedonia and canonical Old Slav language aproved by Roman autorities in Macedonian churches ! 1/2 of europeans are Slav by macedonian first monks and teacher not Greek enlighteners ! The new history fact you will start to put in your books now after our preposition "North" and after clearing up that Slavianisation was not Bulgarian but Macedono/ Bulgarian mutual succes ! With no primates because there isnt Slav nation but Slav enlightened entities and now nations after WW2 ! The end is near . Don't forget that Bulgarians and Macedonians are not the same neader Cristianisation was greek for us both ! Easy going and step by step everithing will be settled for you to get to know on Macedonian nation existing ! Helenistic culture was lasting 300 years for Makedonians and colapsed with colapsing of macedonian dinasty ! Dinasty only not population of Macediniae Province , Romam time ! And all these years you have apropriated the glory of Macedon in oblivion underestimating what was Makedonia Province ! You have pushed history that Slavs came but it will be cleared up that you Guptians came after Slavjanisation of Macedonians ! Anyway we are going to EU membership and don't make negative propaganda any more that we are asking Great Macedonia ! No my dear , if you are Europeans you will swallow it that European values are starting not Helenic" nation " over Europeans ! Ha ha ha ha ! It was a culture only !

As legend has it, this the last prophesy given from the oracle at Delphi: Tell to the king that the carven hall is fallen in decay; Apollo has no chapel left, no prophesying bay, No talking spring. The stream is dry that had so much to say.

Its a sad and bloody process that tried to erased persian and zoroastrian identity.

In the book "Hellenism in Late Antiquity" by Glen W. Bowersock, it was stated that Hellenism (in terms of the ancient practices and pagan religion) was synonymous with paganism at that time. That doesn't mean, however, that the Greek language and culture was perceived obsolete and insufficient to use during the existence of the Eastern Roman Empire (especially since it was the lingua franca at that time). In several cases, it helped modify the cultures of the Eastern Roman Empire's neighboring countries (e.g. Coptic Syria and Egypt). In the same book, Gregory of Nazianzen and Basil of Caesarea (two of the Greatest Fathers of early Christianity) are mentioned as the intellectuals who made the distinction of Hellenism as 1) spreading the Hellenic language and culture and 2) worship of the ancient pagan practices. They did make the distinction because of the reason that they saw the Emperor Julian's (also known as Julian the Apostate) goal to bring the ancient pagan practices and unite them with the Christian ones, which in the eyes of the Empire's dominant Christian population was unacceptable to see them happen, seeing them as a form of religious synchromysticism (combining and blending elements from other beliefs, religions, and faiths to make shape for the current existing religion).

We, Maniots, are a warlike people. Our clan-based society was not compatible with Christian values, thus it is clear why our isolated, rocky homeland was Christianised late. There are many words in our local dialect and many customs who are clear descendants of our ancient civilisation. After all, before the Oracle of Delphi, there was the Necromanteion of Poseidon, in Tainaron, which was a ψυχοπομπείον, meaning that souls crossed to the underworld through it. It is rumoured, that Herakles himself, crossed into the underworld through the cave of Tainaron. It is also worth noting that the Maniates claim descendance from Spartan citizens that fled to Mani due to the tyrannical King of Sparta Nabis, who favoured the Helots and altered the true laws of Lycurgus. The Maniotes were also the ones that stopped the Vandals of Gaiseric, near Kainipolis, modern Kyparissos, my village. Belissarius congratulated the Maniates himself, an event documented by Procopius.

It's genetic. You think it's a coincidence all of the major Christianity sects break down along genetic lines. Think about it. Protestanism for the Western Europeans ( The Germanic People), Catholicism for Southern Europeans, and Orthodoxy for the Greeks ( I don't consider the Russians in this statement since they choose their faith, it didn't arise naturally through conquest like the others). People tolerate their own, so eventually maps fracture along ethnic lines. Remember that before the European Union there was no common white identity in Europe.

Really appreciated the epitaph of Seikelos melody

I always had this question since childhood but it took Kings and Generals in 2022 to answer this doubt of mine !!!!!

Demographically in the late Roman Empire, the Old Hellas part of Magna Graecia, was mostly in Asia-Minor, then Macedonia, and finally Thrace. What we consider Greece today was underpopulated at that time by Greek speaking peoples. That being so, Christianity was mostly an Asiatic religion popularized in the Hellenistic parts of the Eastern Roman Empire according to the original non-Christian sources. The Hellenistic world stretched from Mesopotamia to the Pillars of Hercules. The majority of the Greek speaking world in the 3rd and 4th century A.D. lived on the continent of Asia.

Pletho ended up influences the renaissance through his time in Florence and his association with Ficino. But I would say his paganism was rather eccentric, as indeed that of Ficino, and was more philosophical than religious per se. It was more associated for his desire for a return to a pre-Roman conception of Hellenistic imperialism and culture more narrowly focused than Roman universalism that he saw as having slowly corroded the Roman empire to its full.. His interest seemed largely to enact a kind of new union of mystical lost ancient knowledge combining Platonism, Zoroastrianism and 'Babylonian' astrology which anyone familiar with Renaissance magic and alchemy can see exerting their influence of in things like Hermeticism.

Yes your right, it’s telling half the story so to speak as there were many Greeks living outside of the boarders of modern Greece in the Roman period.

Umm.. isn't using the modern political map of Greece misleading? Also quoting the video "Greece was an economic backwater and held a secondary position to the empire's economic and political life compared to the eastern provinces." What?? The eastern provinces WHERE Greece! After Constantine relocated the capital to Byzantium and renamed it New Rome (Constantinople) the city started it's path to becoming the most populous, most politically and economically significant city of the empire eclipsing old Rome in the west. Even before the Latin Romans out of Italy conquered the Greek Balkans and Asia Minor, this area and beyond into the levant, north Africa and even Egypt (remember Cleopatra ?) were hellenized (to differing degrees). Remember Alexander? There were Greek colonies as far east as Afghanistan! This made the Roman takeover of the eastern hellenized provinces a smooth transition since the Romans looked up to Greek culture and emulated it. The video skirts around the fact that a lot of Asia Minor WAS Greece. There's a reason why sometime after Justinian, the Eastern Roman Empire transitioned to koine Greek as the lingua franca. And why the Christian bible is written in Greek (the new testament).

One of the most heartbreaking facts of Christianisation of Greece is that when christianity became the dominant religion most of the ancient greek temples were destroyed and on top of them Byzantine Christian churches were erected as if they wanted to make sure that they would have never been used again. If you come as a tourist in greece and you notice carefully in these churches walls you will see pieces of columns or statutes embodied within the walls.... It seemed perfectly logical back then since the building material was all around.... Hardcore Recycling!!!!
