Why does nobody ever talk about the Byzantine-Sasanian War of 602-628? Personally I think it could be very popular if it had an easily accessible narrative history book and a catchier name.

are there any good books or reading on this besides the one you proposed
Why did colonial revolts fought in Asia, lead to more casualities among colonial powers than revolts fought in Africa? Again, I know that Asians initially had better tech generally than Africans. However, what I don't understand is why Africans after decades of colonial rule didn't copy some of the tactics and weapons of their colonial rulers.
Wars fought in Asia:

Wars fought in Africa

Cause the Africans were small tribes compared to larger in Asia

>conquer Chinese village

Huge rift in technology and natives having very little to NO access to it at all. Also the tactics an organized force users WILL NOT work with a ragtag group of rebels with much less resources and access to weapons and training. That's why guerilla warfare is a thing.

Tribe is a shitty term because its used to describe ethnic groups in Africa from the very small to the very large with nothing to distinguish the two or in many cases arbitrary distinctions because it's so vague. Are the Oromo, the Irish or Japanese a tribe? In Africa there were many groups that were large or small that rebelled and engaged in conflict in massive fights or wars if you read up on it. Africa also has a really a low population and population density compared to Asia so death counts are pretty drastic in difference.
How does one develop an absurdist view of the world?

Read Camus.
Or alternatively. Don't read Camus or be an absurdist and learn some worthwhile philosophy instead.

>>1953904
high-concentration of men named Alan, eventually collapsed in mass confusion
>>1953904
A Sarmatian tribe that escaped from the Pontic steppe in 3rd century fleeing the Huns. One half went West and ended up in Spain and later Africa, taking part in the fall of Roman Empire, the other settled in Caucasus mountains and mingled with other local populations. They had their state for a while. They were under Khazar vassalage for a while, some converted to Judaism. Then in middle ages they were Mongol subjects, Kublai Khan had 10k+ strong Alan guard.
Nowadays the Ossetian people are their descendants. Mostly Muslim or Orthodox, with some pagan stuff mixed in. The Russian-Georgian war in 2008 was because of southern Ossetia.
The Ossetian Nart Epic was influential in forming Caucasian folklore and mythology, and remains one of the most important sources for ancient Iranic culture.
>>1953940
Incidentally yes, the name Alan/Alain is sometimes theorised to indicate Alanic descent, since some of them did settle in Armorica/Brittany, where the name originated.

READ ::::::::: TL;DR
The Gospels were written in Greek after the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the war with the Romans, which event the Gospels are post-factum "predicting". Since the Greeks are most famous for writting satire, how should we interpret the similarities between Jesus and Josephus?
Jesus walked all over Israel warning people that their whole nation would be destroyed by the kingdom of God in his "second coming" within one generation if they did not repent of their sins. Forty years later, in ~70 AD, Josephus was captured by the Romans and carried with them all over Israel telling them that God's favor had gone over to the Romans and He was on their side, the Romans were now the kingdom of God, and they would be destroyed if they did not repent of their seditions and the entire nation was then destroyed.
Jesus was constantly saying "woe" to the scribes and Pharisees while Josephus was constantly cursing the Greek writers and the Jewish rebels while praising the Romans as the kingdom of God.
Jesus was the son of God and "the only son begotten of the Father" while Josephus was the adopted son of Vespasian who was a deified Roman emperor after he was be-gotten by him in the siege of Jotapata, the only son not begotten by his wife Domitilla.
Josephus frequently complained that the Greek satirists were mocking his histories:
“…He adds another Grecian fable, in order to reproach us…”
– Flavius Josephus Against Apion, Book II :8
“…There have been indeed some bad men, who have attempted to calumniate my history, and took it to be a kind of scholastic performance for the exercise of young men. A strange sort of accusation and calumny this!…”
– Flavius Josephus Against Apion, Book I, 1:10
What if the Gospels were originally intended as a satire of Josephus' writings.
In fact, it seems there are hundreds of these apparent satires of Josephus in the New Testament. Here are just a few:

Intredasting but i don't think that many Greeks were that knowledgeable of Judaism and Jewish ways present in the Gospels.
>>1953966
Of course they were, Josephus wrote "Antiquities of the Jews", "The Wars of the Jews" and "The Life of Flavius Josephus" in Greek especially so that the Greeks could learn about the Jewish history. And right after the "greatest war that either God or men ever b
"WHEREAS the war which the Jews made with the Romans hath been the
greatest of all those, not only that have been in our times, but, in a manner, of those that
ever were heard of" and "those that therein
perished exceeded all the destructions that either men or God ever brought upon the
world" this was the biggest news in the ancient world and in fact Vespasian went from general in that war to become the emperor of Rome, so that would have been the news of the day for a long time and those histories that Josephus, the adopted son of the living God, wrote would have been well read by the Greeks. And nothing in the Gospels or book of Revelation show any knowledge of anything besides those three works of Josephus as far as Judaism, language, typology and history. The gospels very much repeat the peculiar speaking style of Josephus.

There is no "smartest person in history" because intelligence is more complicated than that. And if there were it would almost certainly be someone lost to history.
He is, however, very very smart.
Say a protestant branch was so successful, all of Catholic Christendom switched over.
Would that mean there would be a protestant pope?
Are you drunk?
>>1953474
either way they're disgusting lawfags
>>1953474
Protestantism is sectarian, nationalist and balkanizing by definition.
There wouldn't be a Pope just like there wouldn't be a one and universal christian ideal, which is the essence of Roman Catholicism.
