Talk:Not so dark ages


 * The survivial of the Western Roman Empire depends on the emperor Honorius taking the advice of the less militaristic of his advisors, and giving the goths (lead by Alaric) the homeland that they desired. (curiously, I watched a TV program about this last night).
 * Although Sassanid Persia did manage to conquer Egypt, Syria and most of Anatolia in 602 AD (due to a civil war in the Byzantine Empire), I'm not sure that destroying the Eastern Empire would be such a good idea.
 * 1) It would make Persia very much stronger
 * 2) That might put the Western Empire in even greater peril
 * I doubt that the Magyars would migrate to the Baltic myself. They where in what is now southern Ukraine before the Avar kingdom was destroyed by Charles the Great, however

Hope that helps. --Sikulu 08:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
