>and to make trips profitable those materials had to be immensely valuable per volume
to put it shortly, its basically impossible. the nile stops being navigable around the modern egyptian border and there was no suez canal. -

@orekix @nerthos @augustus axum was always not worth it to conquer. the egyptians had a couple thousand years to do it but never really bothered. it wasn't even that axum was particularily poor (they had plenty of gold and shit) but that you can't march into it because the upper nile is a god forsaken wasteland, and you can't send a mediterranean fleet down there. the axumites didn't really need pacifying anyways because they didn't raid.
later on some absolute galaxy brained italians would ignore the egyptians and attempt to colonize ethiopia. it was a complete waste of time. -

@augustus nobody saw it as actually aspiring to be ancient rome because ancient rome was as distant to them as david's israel. if you read rome as just "king of the world" it makes more sense. -

@augustus worth noting that even the turks positioned themselves as a continuation of rome rather than some islamic empire. mehmed II was basically a byzaboo and kept most of the aristocracy and orthodox clergy around unchanged, even the remnants of the palaiologos dynasty. -

@augustus i dunno. that might be a presentist way of looking at things. i think for most people of that era they just saw "rome" as synonymous with the big kingdom thats been around since the dawn of time and will continue to exist forever. it's like how mongols who havent even occupied the chinese heartland still went ahead and declared themselves chinese successors because to them, the chinese emperor was de-facto king of the center of earth. same reason why franks called themselves the HRE. it's all they knew. -

@augustus byzantine history is confusing to read about because of the revolving door of prestige titles and institutions that gradually lose their cool factor over the centuries and have to be replaced with fresh ones that basically do the same thing but without the historical baggage. draws paralells with chinese history.
a thousand years of historical baggage is not a good thing. -

@augustus literally everyone outside of the empire just called them greeks because thats what they were in the end.
the early seljuk empire was pound-for-pound way more effective and dynamic than the greeks. they just never really sorted out their problematic successions.
its important to remember that turk/ottoman governance is basically just reskinned persian administrative tradition.

@augustus from 1000 AD on they had tons of opportunities to turn it around but fumbled because of their shitty culture that punishes people who actually give a shit (and just really bad luck). even manzikert wasnt that big of a deal in the long run. -

>Rather than “squeeze the juice out of every line”, as is common practice in much Japanese television acting, he welcomed the opportunity to embrace a more minimalist approach. “Japanese TV drama is easy to understand,” he says. “The good and bad guys are really clear, but in Giri/Haji, everyone is grey. We don’t make dramas like that.” -
