Greatest and longest Empire

Western European NWO has tried to conquer Eastern Europe as early as 13th century AD. They dislike very much Byzantine Empire and the various forms of Russian state, Kievan Rus, Tsardom of Russia, Russian Empire. They aslo dislike the rest of Eastern Europe, the northwestern part but not so much because it was not so powerfull like Byzantine Empire and the various forms of Russian state.

Western European NWO propaganda has intentionally distorted or hidden the historical truth and made up its own falsified version of history. Due to Western European NWO propaganda, various myths exist that are false. In a few articles, we will explain the truth, clarify topics that we had presented in the past and elaborate a little further on them.

Western European NWO propaganda has spread the myth that Roman Empire was the greatest in history and that Byzantine Empire was its continuation. Both are very wrong. The GREATEST contiguous land EMPIRE was MONGOL and second was RUSSIAN. British was larger in total area but not contiguous. Byzantine Empire was the continuation of Hellenistic kingdoms (or empires).

Perhaps Roman Empire was the largest in ancient times. Is it true or false? It is false. The LARGEST EMPIRE of ancient times was ALEXANDER'S (Greek). Roman was not even second, it was only third. Persian Empire had a maximum total area of 5.5 million sq km (2.12 million sq mi) while Roman had 5 million sq km (1.93 million sq mi). Alexander's was a little larger than Persian.

It is obvious that Greek (Alexander's) Empire was larger than Roman, if we consider the distances from one end to the other. Roman Empire's northwestern end was British isles and southeastern end was Egypt. The distance from UK to Egypt is 3,500 kilometers or 2,175 miles. Alexander's (Greek) Empire stretched from Romania to India. The distance is 5,600 km or 3,480 miles.

Alexander's conquest started in 336 BC. Alexander's Empire was continued by the Hellenistic Empires (or kingdoms). Hellenistic period started with Alexander's death in 323 BC and ended with Cleopatra's death in 30 BC. Cleopatra was queen of Egypt but Macedonian (Greek). When Romans defeated Macedonians (Greeks), Hellenistic empires (or kingdoms) became the half eastern part of Roman Empire.

Perhaps Roman Empire is considered the greatest because it lasted longer. It is false! The LONGEST LASTING EMPIRE in history is BYZANTINE EMPIRE which lasted ELEVEN CENTURIES. It is followed by Chinese empire (Zhou dynasty) that lasted eight centuries and Ottoman that lasted six centuries. Roman Empire lasted only three centuries. The beginning of Roman Empire is 27 BC and the first division occured in 285 AD.

After the division, Rome became the capital of Western Roman Empire that lasted until 476 AD. Byzantine Empire was not under the rule of Rome. The capital of Byzantine Empire was Byzantium, a Greek (Megarean) colony. It was relatively close to Pella, the capital of ancient Macedonia and birthplace of Alexander. Constantine the Great renamed Byzantium to Constantinople, city of Constantine. Ottomans renamed it Instanbul.

Roman Empire and Hellenistic empires (or kingdoms) lasted the same time, roughly three centuries. But Hellenistic empires had a continuation which was Byzantine Empire. There is no need to add Hellenistic period because Byzantine Empire alone lasted eleven centuries. Nevertheless, if we add Hellenistic period, total time becomes fourteen centuries.

Byzantine Empire start is either 330 or 395 AD. It lasted until 1453 AD. It is the longest lasting empire in history, without considering Hellenistic period. Byzantine Empire became Ottoman after Ottoman Turks defeated Byzantines. The largest part of Ottoman Empire was Byzantine territory but Ottoman Empire can't be considered a continuation of Byzantine Empire.

Westen European NWO propaganda considers Byzantine Empire a continuation of Roman Empire. If this is accepted, then Roman Empire lasted almost fifteen centuries. But BYZANTINE EMPIRE was NOT the CONTINUATION of Roman and Roman Empire was not the longest lasting. The truth is intentionally distorted by Western European NWO. It is really easy to understand it.

Throughout the three Hellenistic centuries, some territory of Alexander's Empire was lost, mainly in the eastern part. Approximately half of Roman Empire, the eastern part, was Hellenistic empires (or kingdoms). When Roman Empire was divided, the eastern half that was Hellenistic kingdoms became Byzantine Empire. Byzantine Empire's territory was not precisely but roughly the territory of Hellenistic kingdoms.

It was definitely NOT Roman. It was mainly Greco-Thraco-Illyrian and towards the end Slavic as well. Byzantine Empire was the revival and unification of Hellenistic kingdoms. When Roman Empire was divided, Hellenistic kingdoms regained their independence and reunited. Alexander's Empire was not divided. It was divided by his generals, after Alexander's death.

Language in Byzantium was Greek and culture-civilization Hellenistic. Hellenistic culture-civilization was Hellenic with considerable eastern influence from the territories in Alexander's Empire. As Slavs gradually moved into Byzantine Empire in large numbers, Byzantine culture - civilization had a significant influence from Slavic. Byzantine culture is Hellenistic with some Slavic influence. 

Alexander's Empire was indirectly continued with Byzantine Empire. The continuity from Hellenistic kingdoms to Byzantine Empire is not as clear at a first glance as the one from Alexander's Empire to Hellenistic kingdoms. Nevertheless, it exists but requires a more careful look. The GREATEST EMPIRE of ancient times, ALEXANDER'S, was indirectly CONTINUED with the LONGEST LASTING EMPIRE in history, BYZANTINE.

Western European NWO propaganda is trying to diminish the importance of Alexander's and Byzantine Empire and hide their strong connection. It is hidden that Alexander's Empire was the greatest in ancient times and Byzantine the longest lasting in history. Byzantine is presented as the continuation of Roman Empire while in reality it was a continuation of Hellenistic empires.
