Flushed with success against the Byzantine and Persian Empires, the Arabian forces now seek to push west into North Africa, across the Maghreb, and onwards to the Atlantic. Despite going through two civil wars, the Islamic Empire by 709 C.E. will stretch from the Atlantic to the Indus River.

They are the hipster version of Zeppelin. Stole nearly everything that wasn't nailed down. But in a way, I'm not angry about it - Zeppelin had soul that you don't always find in music that just seems manufactured for the masses. GVF does a good job on emulating the style and produces some good music for the modern ear. @MACK D

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.

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.
