This sounds interesting

I think that there are not enough subtitles in different languages.

Name Byzantine newer existed,,it's first mentioned in 16 century,it's called Romej empire or Easter Rome empire ...this video is video is false and lie...slaves didn't come,they always been there!Cyril and Methodius didn't teach slavs to write, because South Slavs or Serbs write Long before them..

As for the various languages - did you check Interslavic by any chance? This artificial language is fascinating - it's constructed in a way that all Slavs should understand it more or less. So it's language that the listener doesn't need to know to (mostly) understand it. It would be interesting to have some short video in it 🙂

nije odlicno vec hrpa gluposti i lazi🙄

Slavic Viking means Varangians aka Eastern Vikings.

Nahh. It should have fell far earlier, before they begun converting our ancestors with their false god and their fake book to control the masses with.

ikr if it still existed the world would be 10 times better

​@@l705 How ?? Do you think that Byzantium empire could stop the animality and barbarity of USA, Russia or Israel ??

Daaa, to bylo by odlično

Soglašu se s toboju

Great idea

Правильно надо продвигать межславянский и словио

Дааа

Not only that, but there will always be that one guy, who comes along and sabotages the collective culture, and starts a civil war to suit their own self interests.

Thanks! I was using Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.

Moravia dissapeared before the catholic /orthodox schism.

Lol albanians are not even mentioned until late 11th century 🤣

If you're referring to 6:00, it's Bulgarian 🙂

Sto ?

Furthermore, ERE literary accounts (i.e., John of Ephesus, etc.) mention the Slavs invading areas of Greece during the 580s. According to later sources such as The Miracles of Saint Demetrius, the Drougoubitai, Sagoudatai, Belegezitai, Baiounetai, and Berzetai laid siege to Thessaloniki in 614-616. However, this particular event was of notable significance. A combined effort of the Avars and Slavs two years later also failed to take the city. In 626, a combined Avar, Bulgar, and Pannonian Slav army besieged Constantinople. The siege was repulsed, which had repercussions on the power and prestige of the Avar Khanate. Slavic pressure on Thessaloniki ebbed after 617/618 until the Siege of Thessalonica (676-678) by a coalition of Rynchinoi, Sagoudatai, Drougoubitai, and Stroumanoi attacked. This time, the Belegezites also known as the Velegeziti did not participate and in fact, supplied the besieged citizens of Thessaloniki with grain. It seems that the Slavs settled in places of earlier settlements and probably merged later with the local populations of Greek descent to form a mixed Roman-Slavic community. The process was stimulated by the conversion of the Slavic tribes to Orthodox Christianity in SE Europe, during the same period. A number of medieval sources attest to the presence of Slavs in Greece. While en route to the Holy Land in 732, Willibald "reached the city of Monemvasia, in the land of Slavinia". This particular passage from the Vita Willibaldi is interpreted as an indication of a Slavic presence in the hinterland of the Peloponnese. In reference to the plague of 744-747, Constantine VII wrote during the 10th century that "the entire country [of the Peloponnese] was a Sclavinia". Another source for the period, the Chronicle of Monemvasia speaks of Slavs overrunning the western Peloponnese, but of the eastern Peloponnese, together with Athens, remaining in Byzantine hands throughout this period. When the Romans were not fighting in their eastern territories, they were able to slowly restore some figment of Roman rule. This was achieved through its theme system, referring to an administrative province on which an army corps was centered, under the control of a "Strategos" ("general"). The theme system first appeared in the early 7th century, during the reign of the emperor Heraclius, and as the ERE recovered, it was imposed on all areas that came under Roman rule. The first SE European theme to be created was that in Thrace, in 680 AD. By 695, a second theme, that of "Hellas" (or "Helladikoi"), was established, probably in eastern central Greece. Subduing the Slavs in these themes was simply a matter of accommodating the needs of the Slavic elites and providing them with incentives for their inclusion into the imperial administration. It was not until 100 years later that a third theme would be established. In 782-784, the eunuch General Staurakios campaigned from Thessaloniki, south to Thessaly and into the Peloponnese. He took many Slavs prisoner and transferred them elsewhere, mostly in Anatolia (these Slavs were dubbed Slavesians). However, it is not known whether any territory was restored to imperial authority as a result of this campaign, though it is likely some were. Sometime between 790 and 802, the theme of Macedonia was created, centered on Adrianople (east of the modern geographic entity). A serious and successful recovery began under Nicephorus I (802-811). In 805, the theme of the Peloponnese was created. According to the Chronicle of Monemvasia in 805 the Byzantine governor of Corinth went to war with the Slavs, obliterated them, and allowed the original inhabitants to return, the city of Patras was recovered and the region re-settled with Greeks. In the 9th century, new themes continued to arise, although many were small and were carved out of original, larger themes. New themes in the 9th century included those of Thessalonica, Dyrrhachium, Strymon, and Nicopolis. From these themes, Roman laws and culture flowed into the interior. By the end of the 9th century, most of Greece was culturally and administratively Greek again, with the exception of a number of Slavic tribes in the mountains such as the Melingoi and Ezeritai. Although they were to remain relatively autonomous until Ottoman times, such tribes were the exception rather than the rule. Apart from military expeditions against Slavs, the re-Hellenization process began under Nicephorus I and involved the (often forcible) transfer of people. Many Slavs were moved to other parts of the empire, such as Anatolia, and rendered military colonists. In return, many Greeks from Sicily and Asia Minor were brought to the interior of Greece, to increase the number of defenders at the emperor’s disposal and dilute the concentration of Slavs. Even non-Greeks were transferred to SE Europe, such as the Armenians. As more of the peripheral territories of the Roman Empire was lost in the following centuries, e.g., Sicily, southern Italy, and Asia Minor, their Greek speakers made their own way back to Greece. That the re-Hellenization of Greece through population transfers and cultural activities of the Church was successful suggests Slavs found themselves in the midst of many Greeks. The success of re-Hellenization also suggests the number of Slavs in Greece was smaller than the numbers found in the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. For example, Bulgaria could not be Hellenized when the Roman administration was established over the Bulgarians in 1018 to last for well over a century, until 1186. Eventually, the Romans recovered the imperial border north all the way to today's region of Macedonia (which would serve as the northern border of the Byzantine Empire until 1018), although independent Slavic villages remained. As the Slavs supposedly occupied the entirety of SE Europe’s interior, Constantinople was effectively cut off from the Dalmatian cities under its (nominal) control. Dalmatia came to have closer ties with the Italian Peninsula, because of its ability to maintain contact by sea (however, this too, was plagued by Slavic maritime raiders). Furthermore, Constantinople was cut off from Rome, which contributed to the growing cultural and political separation between the two centers of European Christendom.

What?

Also Perun is a pagan god, its like saying Zeus blood runs trough someone veins

Glagolictic probably already existed, even if a Basic form.

Cyril and Methodius was Greeks, they uppgraded Slavonic letter, not Glagolic, if you see closer it's very similar today Cyrillic letter with Greek letter, that's the biggest proof

@@arenaforgamers5650 That's no proof at all. They were greeks indeed, but knew multiple languages and scripts from their time. The glagolitic script was created by St. Cyril for the christianization of Great Moravia. While the general system and numbering of the glagolitic script was based on greek, the letters were composed of christian symbols, like circles, triangles and squares. Some letters were heavily influenced by letters from various othe scripts. Cyrillic was devised by their apprentices and is basically "modified greek" with a few additional letters for sounds, not found in greek. (Many were taken from the glagolitic script) Of course, the modern cyrillic alphabet developed to look slightly different, but that's to be excpected. These illustrations are just illustrations and shouldn't be seen as fact. Glagolitic was solely designed for clerical purposes and didn't exists before the christianization of slavs.

@@Automatik234 And where's the proof that some ancient script except Greek script existed? Tell me just one book? Orfika book (described 4 world cataclysms in the only book existed from 3.000 bc) is the oldest book proofed by NASA, so don't talk things you don't know

@@arenaforgamers5650 I litarelly have my information from college lectures. And why do you suddenly talk about "other ancint scripts than greek"? There's etruscan, phoenician, Hieroglyphs and many more, attested by archeological discoveries. But that's besides the point.

I see you in a lot of slavic related videos,you seem very knowledgeable on the subject.Why don't you post videos yourself?

"Leftover Germanic tribes"....this is the case with central and western Europe, yes.

The Umayyad caliph Muawiyah the first is my great-grandfather and he is considered the founding father of the Islamic Umayyad empire and he is also more considered among the three best kings in history and also the Umayyad family is an authentic royal Arab family

Not Russian but Rusyn bro get it right Slavic Affairs.

Rusyn is an East Slavic language spoken in Slovakia, Serbia, Ukraine, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic. In the year 2000 there were about 636,000 speakers of Rusyn, which is also known as Ruthene or Ruthenian in English.

Agreed there have been many new sources and findings that prove that at least some of the Slavic tribes have been on the area of today's Slavic countries since forever.

@xNAJAFx byzantine sources have been read many times over. It can be concluded that they don't claim that Slavs appeared from somewhere. It is evil will to misread them.

Can you please share your sources?

@@hiqhduke It did happen no one is denying that and these chronicles document that pretty nicely, however have you heard of the early Slavs whom the Roman and Greek sources refered to as Sclaveni or Venetians, because you have to understand that Slavic people as you probably know were not just one group of people, but several tribes that span from a region to region. My point is that our ancestors couldn't have just appeared out of thin air in the 6th to 7th century, where were they before that??

Southern Slavs are not native to the Balkans, but throughout time they mixed with Illyrians, Thracians, etc.. Asia is also right next to Europe, and people moved around. Even some of the "indigenous" Mediterraneans could have came from North Africa and the Middle East thousands of years ago. Do some research on the white mummies found in Chinese tombs. The Ainu of Japan also look m1xed with European.
