Episode Description
(710 – ~775 CE · Constantinople, Syria, The Holy Land, North Africa, & Spain)
The Narrator continues his lecture on world events with terrible updates from the Greek-speaking Roman Empire ruled from Constantinople that eventually led to the Iconomachy, the struggle over religious images that would torment Orthodox Christianity for generations. He also explains the rise and fall of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Abbasid Revolution, and the flight of Abd al-Rahman to Al-Andalus.
Based on Chapter 7 of End by Geoff Micks.
