  1. Rome fell by its own decadence, christianity just filled the religious void, an its true that helped Europe to rise. And you think that germanic religion or mithraism would have helped science? No way, the mindset of a warrior and a scientist are completely diferent, a scientist is more similar to a priest.

  3. Great observation! In reality arian christians converted to Islam, so this could drive to a: What if France became muslim.

  4. And what make yo think persians would desire such marriage with non aryan unbelievers? I think roman-sasanid wars would still happen. Here, christians of Syria and Egypt would have far more in common with Islam, so they would totally accept them be4 the romans, like in fact happened in our reality. In fact due to the religious difference, I can totally see queen Mawiya putting a Zaynab and make those regions seccede from Rome. Wow, that could totally direct to the rise of a feminist Islam!!!

  7. I think this video could need a remaster, some variables to add: The author didnt heard of Sol Invictus? A solar deity wich was declared main god by Aurelian and Julian. To make paganism monoteistic could had been part of the recipt to adapt it. Being Mitra too a solar god, it would had been easy to the priests to mix them in a single god, so, no division of Europe. Still, due to the commented difference, I could totally se a schism between a catolic solar cult in wich the greek gods are present as minor gods or saints like in catolicism, and a protestant germanic version without the greek gods. Would that still make the germans mysoginists? Still, the goddesses are too much present in european mindset from the european pagan past, so I guess any kind of sincretised female goddess/saint would provide spirituali reference for women. Obisp Wulfila had already converted the goths to arianism, so east germans were arian christians. That coud had lead to a divided Europe, an arian western Europe, or who knows... like... as in reality christians not believing in the trinity tended to convert into Islam, this could be a POD for a muslim West Europe. Wow, now I realiz rhis timeline could drive to the rise of a feminist Islam. Lets explain: Official neopagan/solarian Rome becomes in conflict with Syria and Egypt who are christian. In fact in our, reality, they were in confict because those were monofisites instead of nicean. So, the christian arab warrior queen Mawiya, in her wars against Rome, would be welcomed by the rebel provinces, probably making them secede, like Zaynab did. She could become a cultural hero and inspire the rise of a feminist Islam later, maybe. Wow, this timeline should be explored.

  8. Well: First map: 1 AD, aogeum of greek religion. Iran is ruled by the partians, a scythian tribe, who enables greek gods and cultre live along the persian religion (mazdeism) and culture. The eprsians after the butal colonisation by Alexander, were centurys submitted. 3rd century crisis: Decadence of both romans and partians power and religious structure. That makes the persians able to revolt and impose again themselves as the iranian ruling class and make mazdeism again the official religion.

  10.  @jamesives4375  Anarchism has in fact all the non civiliced human past. But it has consistenly failured as basis of civilisation. Communism always end failing too, but at least in the initial phase triumphs enough that still has many supporters. Thats the same difference btween christianity and the greek gods: The number of supporters.

  11. Why would golden age coitinue with kharijites? Muslim science died in all Ummah, I dont see how would continue with the berber integrsits and arab invasions ravagining Magreb. Even Egypt wasnt ravaged, but still science didnt contined there.

  12.  @carmensavu5122  kopernik was a catolic priest. Or gregor mendel. Or geores lemaitre With galileo the church stopped to support progress, and even after that there were catholic scientists.
