>In the year 987, as the result of a consultation with his boyars, Vladimir sent envoys to study the religions of the various neighboring nations whose representatives had been urging him to embrace their respective faiths. Of the Muslim Bulgarians of the Volga the envoys reported there is no joy among them; only sorrow and a great stench. In the gloomy churches of the Germans his emissaries saw no beauty; but at Hagia Sophia, where the full festival ritual of the Byzantine Church was set in motion to impress them, they found their ideal: "We no longer knew whether we were in heaven or on earth," they reported, "nor such beauty, and we know not how to tell of it."
Byzantine diplomacy was ridiculously good actually. That's one of the main reasons why they lasted so long despite being invaded almost constantly for over 1000 years
No barbarians is the equavilant of being called a Black person, ever civilization did it, even African civilizations called their non city slicker neighbors . Eunuchs were the ancient equivalent of trannies. Despite being hated they always managed to get into positions of power like how modern transgenders tend to be mods or friends with mods.
What the other poster was referring to was that eunuchs were the medieval scapegoat for chuds. Anytime something bad happened, “must be the eunuchs at it again”.
Iberia was depopulated and the Caribbean alone had a population in the millions. New England had a population of around 70,000 indigenous Americans, and the Caribbean had 3.4 million. Do you see why it was so difficult now?
Then how come literally no one liked them?
because barbarians are naturally envious

The byzantines had friends, it was just they are bad at keeping them...

Miss these little homies like you wouldn't believe
i realized "le barbarian" is the ancient equivalent of "le trannies" for chuds

Eunuchs were just neutered servants. The idea that a man can change his gender is modern gay shit.

They were white
The guy on the right is a white tanned man
If Iberians weren’t horny then Central America and the Caribbean’s would’ve been a new Mediterranean.
Iberia was depopulated and the Caribbean alone had a population in the millions. New England had a population of around 70,000 indigenous Americans, and the Caribbean had 3.4 million. Do you see why it was so difficult now?
This still doesn't explain why they all mixed with natives and Africans. Poor excuse. Plenty of Europeans could’ve migrated not just Spaniards.
This
If only europeans genocided all natives and never brought slaves
Guys, let's fricking do it.
I miss them so much
And now we have fricking t*rkroachs and gayreeks instead of literal Eastern Romans.
Late Roman style is so fricking aesthetic
Byzantine long gone. Just let go the past.
Too bad they didn't have the birthrates or civilizational vigor to keep up with their enemies. They had a good run though all things considered
