Hey Mark, didn't you notice that apparently most of the people on this board are
teenagers, or at least not much older? Ey, watcha want, man? You dissin us?
<p>Well, based on the we're-as-ugly-to-them-as-they're-to-us principle, can we at
least assume that the murtani weren't that much interested in raping human
women?
<p>As for that ship, when did it leave here? Since it's crew and passengers were
apparently mostly Christians, it was probably before the Muslim conquest of
Egypt in the 7th century. This also explains that allthough the folks on it
were Greeks, you claim that they brought Catholicism to Almea. But I still can't
really believe that; as far as I know, the Grand Schism just made differences
official that had been there all along. So I think that even in early centuries,
the church in the East was more like today's Orthodox Church than like today's
Catholic Church.
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>On teenagers... heh, I did think about that; but I can't get away from
the facts... teenagers don't make good rulers.
(Another nice example: the Red Guards.)
<p>On the múrtani occupation of Metauro... it'd be surprising if
the múrtani behaved themselves better than most human occupying armies do.
<p>Finally, the Elenicoi left Egypt not long after the Council of Nicaea
(325). You're quite right that the sort of Catholicism they brought was
not the same as today's. (A few obvious differences would be that this
was before the iconoclastic period; state and church had not yet fused;
priestly celibacy was not yet demanded; and the cult of Mary had not yet
developed.)
