“....Sack Rome” is an extreme misnomer. It was the looting and pillaging of two churches and the surrounding suburbs of the city, all containing civilians. The city walls were never breached. Although many gold and silver religious items were taken as if the invaders knew exactly where to find them in the churches, they never entered the city but did camp outside the walls for some weeks. This leads a lot of scholars today to argue whether it was just a raiding party or a planned invasion. In addition it was not wishful thinking regarding the storm that destroyed part of the fleet. For weeks afterwards Arab bodies were washed on shore containing many of the jewels taken from the sacked two sacked churches. There are also conflicting stories about whether the invaders split into 2 armies and were attacked and defeated as they withdrew. This is one of the repeated perils of relying on ancient or even medieval sources. They were not written by historians rather by religious institutions or by writers slavishly following their patron’s beliefs. Also a minor point. Rome does not have a harbor. The Arabs would have landed at Ostia and marched the 16 kilometers to Rome.
Quite so, DA. It was, simply put, a clear reminder to the belligerent Christian resistance that nowhere was safe .. from militant Islam. Spain and Asia Minor were the key targets of conquest, brigandage .. or in modern terms terror attacks .. was a nice News Headline side show (and in this case a good little earner). Of course the assailants knew where to go, what to take, and how to make a spectacle - without having all the fuss of dealing with Rome's walls. The Leonine walls were constructed to offer similar protections to the shrine of St Peter on the Vatican Hill, outside the Aurelian walls. That same pope, St Leo IV, organized a naval coalition to meet - and defeat - a later Saracen assault at the battle of Ostia AD 849.
@@acchaladka The harbour was at Ostia, but the Tiber was navigable for some kinds of seagoing craft. That is DA's point about the possible splitting of the armies used in this smash and grab (terror) attack; the shrines of St Peter's on the Vatican Hill and St Paul's on the Ostian Way were outside the Aurelian Walls and were attacked. However, Rome's major churches, its cathedral and its senior or maternal church were inside the walls, that is, St John Lateral and St Mary Major.
@@HistoryTime What about any documentaries about the Bulgarian Empire wich has done so much for the slavic culture like inventing their alphabet and then baptizing and giving culture and knowledge to most of them(slavs) and its still yet neglected
Samo is curiously not well known, in France or Germany in spite of his remarkable achievments : He was a frankish (probably) merchant/mercenary captain who was chosen by a slavic tribe as a leader for his military expertise. He united the first slavic "kingdom" in central Europe and even successfully fend off an invasion by Dagobert's army (the last significant merovingian).
I have observations on the narrative of this historic event. The comparison of Arabs and Muslims to the Viking people is a great injustice, and a repetition of the description of plundering and enslavement is unacceptable at all! Muslims and Arabs brought new civilization with them to almost everyplace they went to, for example Andalusia in Spain and India and the borders of China, unlike the Viking savage!! But according to your words, it is my right to describe the Roman Empire as a plundering and enslavement empire!!
@Samer Nattifi Well in a wider sense of the word theiy were pirates as they came by ship and intended to raid (similarly to the vikings of the same time if we look for other European experiences) In a more narrow sense of the word, the corsairs between the 16th and 19th century bc are the best example of muslim pirates in the Mediterranean sea. But I guess it is it that narrow definition makes more sense, so I partly agree with you.
@Samer Nattifi They DID however go there to plunder. Capturing slaves was one of the targets for example. Also the Ottoman corsairs have nothing to do with the Umayyads. Just some 500years+ in between. And thinking that just because someone is rich he/she will not use a means to become even more rich is ridiculous.
@Samer Nattifi I mean I too think that some of the history told in the video is a bit biased, but you are next level, just the other way. No Slaves? Are you kidding or deluded? Imo this kind of delusion is at the heart of why the Arab World is in that state. You should listen more to university professors instead of the imam. Before you exposed your "knowledge" by putting the Osman corsairs into the 10th century bc. and now this? What are you doing here? I will not waste more time. bye.
@Samer Nattifi Mohammad had slaves. He bought a slave Merium al Qibtiya, she wasn't even married to him but he had a son with her. Stop being an apologist.
Europeans sack Rome over 6 times : It was normal to sack cities back then... Nothing special. Arabs sack Rome : REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, THEY ARE STILL DOING IT TO THIS DAY. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
@The Owlets jesus fucking christ, my fucking eyes hurts after reading that. What on earth are you trying to say? Please consider using google translate next time. Thanks.
Imagine what the idea of (Western) "Rome" must have been like to them. By 846 the fall of Western Rome was 300 years ago, in the Western Europe Charlemagne was ruling as a new Emperor. 300 years ago from today is 1719. Imagine until 1719 there had been an Empire that had stretched across say all of Europe, then ceased to exist, and now you're looting what used to be its capital
@@yavyav2281 I mean, even London was an Empire until after WWII. So more like the Holy Roman Empire, I suppose, which stopped existing around 1800 (would be a better comparison if the HRE had actually had had real power)
Thats his story for you. If you rule the sea, you rule the world back then. You think he will call " british ships" pirates when they were sailing east and conquering india?..hhh
Awesome video. I hadn't heard of the Naval Battle at Ostia by Pope Leo's forces. Garigliano, i had heard of. It was good to know that we will get to see a discussion of politics between Lombards, Popes, Saracens and the Catepans in the coming years. I've been reading "Normans in the South" of late, and the Catepans were interesting men. Even a cursory reading reveals that the Greeks sent some truly remarkable expeditions into the south, from the time of Nicephorus the Elder all the way down to the time of Comte Robert, and i hope to hear these stories told in your exceptional style. Great work.
TheSamuraijim87 It’s a fascinating topic. Much more to come on the Lombards of southern Italy. Luckily for us the source material is rich and varied, which as you know is very rare for this period. Having learned this i was very surprised that relatively little has been written on the Lombards
Are you ever going to talk about some of the Germanic tribes? like the Alamans, Langobards, Franks, ext absolutely love you videos man. keep up the great work.
@@schechter01 franks - "the brave", saxon - "sword men", german - "spear men", teutones - "part of the people/ army", cimbri - "the plunderers", goths - (possibly)" from gotland (that skandinavian island)", bajuwarians -"men of bohemia" etc.. I fear our ancestors really lacked creativity in naming. (Well i guess we continued that tradition of giving uncreative names... "stinky animal", "lazy animal", "flying stuff" etc.)
At this point I’m entirely convinced that every civilisation to ever have existed has attacked the city of Rome at some point lmao. When exactly are you going to fulfil the wishes of the people and make a video on the infamous Chechnyan occupation of Rome in 720BC??
I already watched much of youre videos but never knew about the arab sack of rome and the quality of the introduction threw me back too. This is a quality channel covering historical events that practicle none else does, keep up the great work.
if this was a video about vikings sacking of paris i am 100% most wouldnt say such hateful things in the comments because those are our great pale skinned FORFATHERS but muslims are not , so lets just blame muslims for warmongering and lets ignore what our european ancesters did from the days of goths to the belgium and french massacres in africa . lets blame muslims for raiding europe and lets praise the vikings for raiding europe .
@@blaccbeard what ? I am not . I criticize them because they are the hypocrites who praise crimes made by Europeans but criticize war acts made by Muslims and they try to show them like if they were always like isis .
Gosh, I hadn't realised the Muslim kingdoms had reached so far around the Mediterranean. No wonder the modern extent of Islam extends to this former border - minus the edge territories of Spain and India, cultural blending being what it is.
I heard somewhere that the Saracen pirates sacked a village somewhere in modern day Switzerland. I dont know how they got there lol but again they were raiders
Me, an Arab, enjoying the introduction: "Professional soldiers" Yeess "Bloodied from a lifetime..." Indeed "...on the high seas" NANI??!? I mean yeah the Arabs raided throughout the Mediterranean but equating that to "a lifetime on the high seas" is a bit of a stretch. Most of those boats only went along the coasts I believe. We're not exactly known for our shipbuilding skills.
@Chris Perkins they built + bought .. that's for sure the Arabians were fierce sailors centuries before Islam .. but in Trade they traded with the Indians .. east Africans since the times of Kingdom of Saba (Sheba) and Kingdom of Dilmon (establish 4th millennia B.C in eastern Arabia) trading with Indus Valley and Sumer Islam reached Eastern Africa coast lands .. and South East Asia thanks to Arabian sailors but yeah i don't like making things a bit too much .. so i'm not sure about "a lifetime on the high seas"
@@kesorangutan6170 a Turk pretending to be Arabian ... trust me .. it does add up, you can ask the Persians and Romans for that or maybe your ancestors in Central Asia .. because that's how Islam reached them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Talas or this battle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kharistan or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Defile en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Khazar_wars and much more if you want Arabians being a fierce warriors is no question it's merely a fact
Can you do a vid or series about Steppe peoples of any era? I fell in love with the Scythians/Sarmations of Hellenistic period, slightly before and after. I love how that lifestyle in that area of the world persisted for centuries. Could even say they produced the best pound for pound empire in the Mongols but idk if its right to include them in the same group as the Scytho-Sarmations but they're obviously steppe people so I consider them all cousins in a way. Even though they would have probably cut each others heads off and eaten the others' family. They were all lorss of the horse!
Absolutely. I’m gradually covering the entire history of the Seljuk Turks. I will also be covering many more steppe nomads. One of the most fascinating of all subjects in history.

Afaik Mongols incorporated all the forces that submitted to them. So if Sarmatians submitted, they would be plundering together.

@kiril marinov Check the comment that I am replying to. Obviously they cannot cut each others' heads off, too. These are just hypothehical comments.
There are quite a few liberally-minded people jumping to the defense of Islam and accusing this guy of bias in the comments here. As someone who is learning Arabic and studying the Islamic sources and history on a frequent basis, I can say that your eagerness to excuse the brutality of Islam throughout history or defend the narrative that "Islam is a religion of peace" is completely unwarranted, and, quite frankly, bizarre.
@Samer Nattifi I didn't claim that. I was pointing out how foolish it is to claim Islam is a religion of peace. Just the opposite, my friend. Salaam. الحمد لله والحمد للمسيح
The first Arab invaded and besieged Rome was Hannibal the Phoenician or hanna-ba’al in Arabic. Phoenicians inhabited the Levant modern day Syria.They were a clan from the Canaanites Arabs.

Just found your channel and I am really digging it. Just a quick question could you link your sources in your descriptions or links for further learning. Thanks for your hard work and I hope you keep it up.
Hello, great job on those videos of yours!! Could you be so kind as to tell me the title of the song in 12:40 that you always use in your videos and is so hauntingly beautiful?
The Arab history is very interesting, as the Middle East region through the centuries was the subject of the struggles of all the empires. Despite that, the Arabs were strong, defeating the empire after another, weakening for a period to regain their strength and return to brutality in their enemy and the victory is amazing.
Arab or Middle Eastern? Because Arabs were but on tribe in the region for most of history. They didn't expand and conquer until the invention of Islam. It became the impetus for the Arab peoples to end up rising and conquering majority of the Middle East and parts of Africa.
@@SefniAsheforr Arabs did have history before Islam in arabia and southern levant like the Ghassanids, Lakhimds, tanukhids, Nabateans, Sabaeans and himyarites
Going through your past videos and quite enjoying everything. Rome and Jerusalem are my two favourite cities, though Delhi is a close third. Would love a series on Jerusalem and environs and the Jews of medieval Iberia and Africa -? Also, let’s be honest, you could make this whole channel about The Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and I would eat it all up.
Don't be surprised it' has been like that long ago..... Hahaha E. U. HAS COLLAPSE UREADY RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYE HISTORY WILL Repeat himself again.... Greater Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️
@@marathonman1205 Wow! If only research were that easy, why would we even have universities or academics? Why have a bibliography in a book when one line: "sources are everywhere" will suffice!
I always wonder what it must have been like living in Rome during the "dark ages", from a city of over 1 million to 10,000 at its lowest point, from great philosophers and orators like Cicero, great statesman and generals like Caesar, to illiterate peasants living and farming in the streets of the forum and Colosseum. It must have been very strange indeed.
@Syed Ahmed Since when are Tunisia, Libya and Egypt considered middle eastern? Also, those other countries aren't as bad as you try to make them seem to be.
@Syed Ahmed No definition of the middle east includes north Africa as a part of it. The middle east is from Egypt to Iran and from Turkey to Yemen, and the Sinai peninsula is the only reason Egypt is considered middle eastern
29:57 You are showing a image that is supposed to represent Simeon the Great a Bulgarian tsar! Definitely not a Roman emperor, in fact this isn’t the first time you have made such a mistake.
The War between Rome and Semitic People was happening before Islam. The Phoenician fought them and so did the Arabs after them. It's more a fight between the East and the West. Two different Cultures two different Religions two different Worlds. Orient vs Occident
Thanks for making this video. The history shared here is often just a footnote in high school/college world history courses. Now is this still considered "The Dark Ages", or is this as you say early medieval (I know, dumb question). It must have been one hell of a time to live...never knowing when your city/village would be raided by attackers from another land.
Arabs: Surrender your riches Romans! Pope Sergius II: Uuuh what riches are you talking about? The Goths and the Vandals already took all the gold, the Ostrogoths took out what was left. Hell, we don't even have bronze or iron left, our own Emperor Constans II took it all from us two centuries ago. What do you want to loot from us? The marble of pagan ruins? Go ahead we have a lot of those rubbish in the Roman Forum
It should also be known that the Roman's were never able to conquer the Arabs like they conquered everyone else in their prime. Arabian queen mawia for one example was known for beating the Roman's so badly at their own game that they even hired her and her army as mercenaries to fight the northern Europeans.
Syria is a desert, Egypt is a desert, Iraq is a desert, north Africa is a desert. Europe itself during the fall and winter is more desolate than all the above deserts. Arabia, however, during the fall, winter, and spring seasons is more colorful and much cooler than the Alps in the spring. Arabia remained unconquered not because it's a desert, but because it's filled with ferocious warriors and proud knights.
This is among the best presentations of primary source of human history I have ever seen. Having just read the Myth of the Andalusian Paradise, this sharply brings the aftermath of the fall of Rome, to technicolor life. Sets the imagination into high gear. A fine effort, pictorially captivating, scholarly methodology that is entertaining. Thank you dear sir.
You do realize that the "europeans never bathe" is a myth, right. And I dought they needed someone to teach them how to put on clothes since they came from the north.
scooby 123 yes i agree in the 200, 300 years nothing, because of the Mongols and then the Ottoman Turks took control But 1000 years ago, we were superior to you in every field, and we fought East and West.
Guys, please help! I need to know the name of the song between 27:11 and 28:33 ! Its probably something by Derek & Brandon Fiechter, but I can't seem to find it.
under the Caliphate true but they were an Automanmous state in North Africa "iFRIKIA" "Tunisia along the eastern part of Algeria and west of Libya" with their own Capital Kairouan, that time the Caliphate had spiritual status even Autonomous or Independent states recognize the caliphate as the true ruler of all Muslims ,
@@granda2126, yes Aghlabids were Semi- autonomous province of Caliphate. Early Abbasid Empire (750 - 861) ruled as absolute monarchy like Umayyads but during Abbasid decline period (861-940) Abbasids started loose power during this time independent states recognised Abbasid as nominal head of state.
No cause arabs brought civilization and architecture to europe like all arabs say cause we had nothing before they came. This also counts for egypte sumer etc 😂
I think this is one of the most underrated moments of European history. People often point to the battles of Tours, Lepanto, and Vienna as crucial to the survival of Western Christianity without mentioning that Rome itself was attacked by Muslims once.
Congratulations on your new status! So glad you managed to reach such a step thanks to your videos. Great storytelling in my opinion, always a hard task to overcome when dealing with our History. And I feel like in this one, you found a great balance between music and commentary, even in the field of volume. What Dagon, Lovecraft? And I didn't know about this chan? I'm such a moron! Edit: you always refer to Arabs but what about the Berber proportion in such raids ands piracy actions. I remember when I first read about Al-Andalus yeaaaaaars ago, one of the first thing that stroke me was the Berber proportion in the Muslim armies. And as you know it lead to many internal crisis among other reasons! Thank you for your help in this matter.
A bit of a contradiction as @ 3:55 you say "THIS WAS NO MERE RAID" due to it being 11,000 men....but late in the video you describe this as a "scouting and expeditionary raid" .... How ?? I mean how often did scouting parties contain 10k+ men? unless we're talking about nomadic horse empires like Huns or Mongols, who could easily send thousands of horsemen on "scouting & raiding" missions...Common sense tells one that your earlier description was the correct one.
Will you ever do a video on Emperor Theophilos? He had to fight quite a few battles. From his movies leading camp again in the east to fighting in Anatolia and into the fertile crescent. Also has refugees coming into the empire from the east, and appeals for help to the est to fight the invaders (that fell on deaf ears, however). Yes, massive armies and naval conflict.
Yep, this video was just a ploy to get more white supremacists to subscribe, which judging by a lot of the comments seems to have worked. "omg the arabs have been raping us forever guyz seeeeeee".
that's right Kids don't be ISLAMAPHOBIC BIGOTS to our peaceful Arab invaders burning down churches and killing civilians, it was only a "peaceful raiding party"
Those were not mere "pirates"!! that's utter nonsense and falsification!!! You can't simply discard the mightiest super global power at the time "Abbasid Khalifate" by saying the raiders were "pirates" and their origins is not important!
Ahmad Mahfouz Yes. They were pirates. Just like there were pirates throughout Europe and the Mediterranean at this time. These guys had very little to do with the caliphate, which was based half a world away and had already run out of military steam by this time, being more focused on society rather than outward expansion.
Those pirates raided only non Islamic cities paying their due tribute to whatever Caliphate or Sultanate they worked for ! ... while practicing their peaceful religion !!!
i agree .. calling arabs simple pirates this is european leftwing liberal antiChritsian ProIslam propaganda they use to whitewash Islam .. the arab armies were Fatiheen ( conquerors ) attacking europe to destroy christianity and spread islam ..all attacks were aimed at destroying christians and not dumb pirates attacking for materialistic gain
The city of Rome was more like a rural town but remained the capital of Western Christendom. Pope Leo IV really saved the day rebuilding and augmenting the city's defenses plus pleading to Italian cities to send a navy to avoid military and spiritual disaster!!
Apparently every non western navies are pirates and armies are nomadic barbarians. And west is a victim of every other aggressive culture. The part where he described the rise of Macedonian dynasty made me lol. Dramatic much?
The mention of raiding for camels might give some people the impression that camels was the main way the Arab army got around, but contrary to the stereotype we’ve all come to accept the arabs conducted most of their warfare on horseback: the arabian horse. Islamic historical sources widely document that while Muhammed himself owned hundreds of camels, when on his military expeditions and raids around the Hejaz region of western arabia he and a majority of his army did this on horseback. Camels were used largely for supply and logistical transport for his army. The histories of Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari and Ibn Is’haq inform us that Muhammed the prophet of Islam owned seven war horses that he would use to ride in to battle and command his fanatical army.

Although many gold and silver religious items were taken as if the invaders knew exactly where to find them in the churches, they never entered the city but did camp outside the walls for some weeks.

For weeks afterwards Arab bodies were washed on shore containing many of the jewels taken from the sacked two sacked churches. There are also conflicting stories about whether the invaders split into 2 armies and were attacked and defeated as they withdrew. This is one of the repeated perils of relying on ancient or even medieval sources. They were not written by historians rather by religious institutions or by writers slavishly following their patron’s beliefs.
Also a minor point. Rome does not have a harbor. The Arabs would have landed at Ostia and marched the 16 kilometers to Rome.

That is DA's point about the possible splitting of the armies used in this smash and grab (terror) attack; the shrines of St Peter's on the Vatican Hill and St Paul's on the Ostian Way were outside the Aurelian Walls and were attacked. However, Rome's major churches, its cathedral and its senior or maternal church were inside the walls, that is, St John Lateral and St Mary Major.
...because historians never slavishly follow a narrative that doesn’t accurately reflect reality.
Walls work!
Can we get a video about the Merovingian dynasty and/or samos slavic kingdom at that time?
MrChubbysuperhero Yes absolutely. Samo’s Kingdom is coming later this year, as well as Great Moravia. The early Slavic states are fascinating.
@@HistoryTime What about any documentaries about the Bulgarian Empire wich has done so much for the slavic culture like inventing their alphabet and then baptizing and giving culture and knowledge to most of them(slavs) and its still yet neglected
FRICK YEAH.
also hire people
If you get enough money to pay them
Samo is curiously not well known, in France or Germany in spite of his remarkable achievments :
He was a frankish (probably) merchant/mercenary captain who was chosen by a slavic tribe as a leader for his military expertise.
He united the first slavic "kingdom" in central Europe and even successfully fend off an invasion by Dagobert's army (the last significant merovingian).

I have observations on the narrative of this historic event. The comparison of Arabs and Muslims to the Viking people is a great injustice, and a repetition of the description of plundering and enslavement is unacceptable at all!
Muslims and Arabs brought new civilization with them to almost everyplace they went to, for example
Andalusia in Spain and India and the borders of China, unlike the Viking savage!!
But according to your words, it is my right to describe the Roman Empire as a plundering and enslavement empire!!
Hugo Holesch all?? Your wrong pal
Also the only places that even today allow and promote slavery are all islamic countries.
@@Judge_Magistercan you prove that?
calling the arabs of that time pirates is the same as calling alexander a pirate
There is a difference between THE arabs and those arabs, don't you think?
@Samer Nattifi Well in a wider sense of the word theiy were pirates as they came by ship and intended to raid (similarly to the vikings of the same time if we look for other European experiences)
In a more narrow sense of the word, the corsairs between the 16th and 19th century bc are the best example of muslim pirates in the Mediterranean sea.
But I guess it is it that narrow definition makes more sense, so I partly agree with you.
@Samer Nattifi They DID however go there to plunder.
Capturing slaves was one of the targets for example.
Also the Ottoman corsairs have nothing to do with the Umayyads. Just some 500years+ in between.
And thinking that just because someone is rich he/she will not use a means to become even more rich is ridiculous.
@Samer Nattifi I mean I too think that some of the history told in the video is a bit biased, but you are next level, just the other way.
No Slaves? Are you kidding or deluded?
Imo this kind of delusion is at the heart of why the Arab World is in that state. You should listen more to university professors instead of the imam.
Before you exposed your "knowledge" by putting the Osman corsairs into the 10th century bc. and now this?
What are you doing here?
I will not waste more time. bye.

I hadn't heard of the Naval Battle at Ostia by Pope Leo's forces. Garigliano, i had heard of. It was good to know that we will get to see a discussion of politics between Lombards, Popes, Saracens and the Catepans in the coming years. I've been reading "Normans in the South" of late, and the Catepans were interesting men. Even a cursory reading reveals that the Greeks sent some truly remarkable expeditions into the south, from the time of Nicephorus the Elder all the way down to the time of Comte Robert, and i hope to hear these stories told in your exceptional style.
Great work.

Can you do a vid or series about Steppe peoples of any era? I fell in love with the Scythians/Sarmations of Hellenistic period, slightly before and after.
I love how that lifestyle in that area of the world persisted for centuries. Could even say they produced the best pound for pound empire in the Mongols but idk if its right to include them in the same group as the Scytho-Sarmations but they're obviously steppe people so I consider them all cousins in a way. Even though they would have probably cut each others heads off and eaten the others' family. They were all lorss of the horse!
Absolutely. I’m gradually covering the entire history of the Seljuk Turks. I will also be covering many more steppe nomads. One of the most fascinating of all subjects in history.
Afaik Mongols incorporated all the forces that submitted to them. So if Sarmatians submitted, they would be plundering together.

There are quite a few liberally-minded people jumping to the defense of Islam and accusing this guy of bias in the comments here. As someone who is learning Arabic and studying the Islamic sources and history on a frequent basis, I can say that your eagerness to excuse the brutality of Islam throughout history or defend the narrative that "Islam is a religion of peace" is completely unwarranted, and, quite frankly, bizarre.

The Arab history is very interesting, as the Middle East region through the centuries was the subject of the struggles of all the empires. Despite that, the Arabs were strong, defeating the empire after another, weakening for a period to regain their strength and return to brutality in their enemy and the victory is amazing.
Arab or Middle Eastern? Because Arabs were but on tribe in the region for most of history. They didn't expand and conquer until the invention of Islam. It became the impetus for the Arab peoples to end up rising and conquering majority of the Middle East and parts of Africa.
And now the arabs are back in the middle ages and italy has envolved to become one of the Most beautiful countries in the World.

Arabs: Surrender your riches Romans!
Pope Sergius II: Uuuh what riches are you talking about? The Goths and the Vandals already took all the gold, the Ostrogoths took out what was left. Hell, we don't even have bronze or iron left, our own Emperor Constans II took it all from us two centuries ago.
What do you want to loot from us? The marble of pagan ruins? Go ahead we have a lot of those rubbish in the Roman Forum
It should also be known that the Roman's were never able to conquer the Arabs like they conquered everyone else in their prime. Arabian queen mawia for one example was known for beating the Roman's so badly at their own game that they even hired her and her army as mercenaries to fight the northern Europeans.
Arabs had nothing at the time just desert dwellers
Arabia was nothing but deserts nobody wanted it
The Roman and the Greek themselves believed Arabia and the Arabs to be the richest and most prosperous people.
Syria is a desert, Egypt is a desert, Iraq is a desert, north Africa is a desert. Europe itself during the fall and winter is more desolate than all the above deserts.
Arabia, however, during the fall, winter, and spring seasons is more colorful and much cooler than the Alps in the spring.
Arabia remained unconquered not because it's a desert, but because it's filled with ferocious warriors and proud knights.

Ahmad Mahfouz Yes. They were pirates. Just like there were pirates throughout Europe and the Mediterranean at this time.

Those pirates raided only non Islamic cities paying their due tribute to whatever Caliphate or Sultanate they worked for ! ... while practicing their peaceful religion !!!
i agree .. calling arabs simple pirates this is european leftwing liberal antiChritsian ProIslam propaganda they use to whitewash Islam .. the arab armies were Fatiheen ( conquerors ) attacking europe to destroy christianity and spread islam ..all attacks were aimed at destroying christians and not dumb pirates attacking for materialistic gain
The city of Rome was more like a rural town but remained the capital of Western Christendom. Pope Leo IV really saved the day rebuilding and augmenting the city's defenses plus pleading to Italian cities to send a navy to avoid military and spiritual disaster!!

The mention of raiding for camels might give some people the impression that camels was the main way the Arab army got around, but contrary to the stereotype we’ve all come to accept the arabs conducted most of their warfare on horseback: the arabian horse. Islamic historical sources widely document that while Muhammed himself owned hundreds of camels, when on his military expeditions and raids around the Hejaz region of western arabia he and a majority of his army did this on horseback. Camels were used largely for supply and logistical transport for his army. The histories of Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari and Ibn Is’haq inform us that Muhammed the prophet of Islam owned seven war horses that he would use to ride in to battle and command his fanatical army.
