Video Description (from Youtube)

How did a small group in Medina become a world power?

In this deep-dive episode of MythVision, historian Dr. James Howard-Johnston (Oxford) reveals a powerful and often overlooked connection:

👉 The rise of Islam happened during one of the most devastating conflicts in history — the Roman–Persian War (602–628 AD).

At the same time:

- Empires were collapsing

- Plague was spreading

- Jerusalem was conquered and reclaimed

- And apocalyptic expectations were rising

⚠️ Then something unexpected happened…

A new movement emerged in Arabia — and within decades, it reshaped the world.

💡 According to Dr. Johnston, the key to understanding this explosion may be hidden in one place:

👉 The Quran itself

In this video, we explore:

- The war between Byzantium and Persia

- Emperor Heraclius and the recovery of the True Cross

- The political and religious chaos of the 7th century

- The early expansion of Islam

- And the “secret” behind its rapid success

🔥 This isn’t just history… this is the context that changed civilization.
