>How dafuq did a bunch of Turkic nomads conquer the whole empire of Byzantine?

Barbarians from the north kept conquering Iran for centuries, it was just that none managed to go further than that until 1071.

They thought that history is divided into "Ages" and that the old age is ending and a New Age of spiritual revelations is beginning.

It's probably derogatory because by and large "New Age" types believe in silly things and buy silly products.

>>2280427
Its the fast food of spiritualism.
A bunch of principals from different cultures in a degenerated form and mixed with some mysterious not so healthy ingredients. Prepackaged to serve a mass American audience.

Also, why is that l all the art related to this stuff is so damn nauseating?

>>2280280
The Islamic world sparked the 12th century Renaissance and Scholasticism, which in turn helped spark the early Renaissance. Western Europe and the Byzantines had a fair bit of knowledge of the Classical world, they just did not consume, criticize, and build on it the way the Muslims were doing until the High Middle Ages.

>>2280280

That's a misrepresentation. The Islamic world preserved classical knowledge that had been translated into Arabic until it was translated back into European languages during the Renaissance.

It wasn't so much that Muslims came along and taught anyone anything, they simply preserved European knowledge during the Christian Ages.

>>2280329
So Europeans had no knowledge of the Greeks and Romans before Islamic translation

weren't the majority Greeks?

>>2280252
this

>>2280252
Yes. The ERE was composed of a Greek majority along with Slavs, Bulgars, and Armenians. They held Terronia for a long time, as well small parts of the Levant.

The Library of Alexandria was empty by the time it finally burned down. The "destruction" wasn't some cataclysmic event, but a gradual decay where most of its contents were copied or moved to different libraries.
