@_felipeeli_ Why Parthia over the Sassanids?

The best civilizations. In the case of Russia, I included it because of the Novgorod Republic and the Principality/Tsardom of Moscow up to Alexios I Romanov.

@suviesuvorov A coin of Theodosius II, an Eastern Roman emperor, was found in India and a coin of Constantine the Great was also found in Japan. Byzantine coins also circulated widely, from Western Europe to Japan.

the fact that sasanian coins have been found in russia, britain, japan, namibia, and mali is genuinely insane

@Gawain66 Seria muito melhor ela usar de argumento que Cristo parece Orfeu, que apesar de diferenças substanciais, é o que mais se aproxima da figura de Jesus dentre as figuras pagãs.

@Gawain66 Eu simplesmente odeio o povo que afirma isso, primeiramente porque não sabem bulhufas sobre o Mitraísmo, segundo não sabem quem é Mitra e a diferença entre os Mitras romanos, iranianos e dos vedas e terceiro é que existem figuras mais parecidas com Jesus, no caso Orfeu.

Porque ele não é.

@Gawain66 Eu botei os maniqueus como uma heresia que saiu do Zoroastrismo junto com o Zurvanismo, até queria saber se é viável colocar o mitraismo romano como uma heresia do Zoroastrismo. Inclusive, esse Zurvanismo é bizarro, crença totalmente fatalista.

@_felipeeli_ E os Maniqeus também eram heréticos, a propósito. Tu deve ter confundindo com os Mazdaístas

Beck is always right

It’s Palm Sunday. Listen to the bells ringing from Holy Resurrection Cathedral - St. Nikolai in Tokyo, Japan 東京復活大聖堂 🇯🇵 ☦️

@angcathalex The Western (Latin) Church has its own iconography; it's a shame that this isn't explored much nowadays.

@Wolfgang18842 Where did Enver invade Georgia? The Turks lost the Battle of Batumi and lost the province. Ardahan and Artvin are only in Turkish hands because the Soviets ceded those regions.

@ConsulofRome_ I'm torn between Basil II Porphyrogenitus or John II Komnenos.

Who is your favourite Roman Emperor?

The Anastasis (Harrowing of Hell) — Byzantine Mosaic

@HanyuBosatsu @Gnosisinformant Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan—all were predominantly Buddhist regions, and yet they were easily conquered by Islam. Buddhists are the last ones who can say anything, lol.

@Gnosisinformant "As a matter of fact, it was Apollo’s wrath that sent Islam to take your cities. Because they deserved it." That is my unironic belief

Whenever Christians make these “pAGAN gOd dEd cUz tEmPlE rUiNd” They tell the world they have no understanding of history. Under this logic your god failed to protect Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, Damascus, Pergamum, Carthage, Nicaea, Constantinople, Athens, Edessa, Cappadocia, etc from Islam and thus your god is false. Then Christians lost 7/10 of the crusades and couldn’t even get those lands back and had to wait til the world was secular for parts of Greece to gain independence but Constantinople (now Istanbul) Antioch, Nicaea and Alexandria, the major churches of the 1st-4th centuries are still under Muslim occupation. You can’t kill Apollo. Because you can’t kill Truth, Order, Light, and Perfection. Those things will always eternally exist among the flux of our reality and because of that Apollo is eternal. As a matter of fact, it was Apollo’s wrath that sent Islam to take your cities. Because they deserved it. How do you like that?

@Gnosisinformant Apollo's wrath? Then why is Greece still orthodox? Why didn't the Greek gods prevent them from being raped by the Parthians in Central Asia and the Iranian Plateau? Why didn't they protect them from being easily conquered by the Romans? Your argument is also stupid lol.
