Semitic Syrian imperial dynasty of Byzantium

[Böri]

Leo III, the Isaurian (the Syrian) Byzantine Emperor and his dynasty ruled the Byzantine Empire for nearly a century between 717 until 795 when Empress Euphrosyne was deposed and sent to the convent.

Leo III was a devout Chalcedonian Christian. His contribution to Christendom is often ignored or goes unnoticed because of his Iconoclast, counter icon-veneration controversy. He was instrumental in stopping the advance of the Arabs in the East.

Leo III, so-called founder of the "Isaurian" dynasty, was not of Asia Minor but was born ca. 680 in Germanicia a.k.a. Marash near Aleppo in the northern corner of the eastern Mediterranean. His original name may have been Konon. According to the chronicles of Theophanes the Confessor, his family was forcefully resettled by Justinian II (685-695) in Mesembria, an ancient Greek town on the coast of Thrace near Bulgaria where he was raised.

Forceful Dispersion and Resettlement of Eastern Christians

Forceful resettlement of many Christians of the East was a result of a deal struck between the Byzantines and the Arabs. That happened because large numbers of the Christian zealots were removed and dispersed around the Byzantine Empire, away from the boarders between the Byzantine Empire and the Arabs. These Christians were originally supported by the Byzantines themselves but got scapegoated for politics. That was accomplished through an hefty payoff-agreement between the Emperor and the Umayyad Caliph. These Christians were what is known as the Jarjamites, the Maronites/Maradaites, Jacobites and others. They were a thorn in the side of the invading Arabs because they refused to convert to Islam and did not accept the Arab cause célèbre.

*cough*justinianwasanalbanian*cough*

And yeah, the Isaurians were not the only nor the first Romano-Byzantine dynasty of Syrian blood. The Serverans were Syrian rulers of an Italo-Hellenic empire before it was cool

Byzantium had no ethnicity. Greek mongrels talk about Seljuks and Ottomans but these Turks are beyond their reach in ethnic and blood awareness. With Turks everyone, all Sultans descend STRAIGHT from the first Khan or Bey who was Turkic origin ofc, with 'Greeks, you see everyone is emperor Why dont they open gates of Europa for Syrian refugees? these Greeks after all they had Semitic Syrian emperors in their degenerated Byzantium.

This has already explained to you Kiro, Leo the Isaurian came from a province Syria where ethnic Greeks had been living since antiquity.

Those were persons who came from fully Hellenized regions and their culture was Greek in the Byzantine tradition. Syria used to be a province of Byzantium where a large number of ethnic Greeks lived.

Leo III Isaurian, was fully Hellenized in the Byzantine tradition and he followed the Greek Orthodox church and culture instead of the Armenian (Monophysite) church.

All emperors no matter the descent, culturally and linguistically are active participants of the greek civilisation and the greek roman tradition, no matter if an emperor is Armenian descent or greek descend.

While your mongol Ottomans were fully Persianlized and Arabized in culture and had adopted the Arabic script and religion even before they set foot on Anatolia.

Turks are Armenoids

The Turks were the biggest subhumans the world had ever seen. There's nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING original in their culture. They were a notch above Chimps and savages in the literal meaning of the word. Everywhere they went "civilization disappeared from view" and a trail of blood followed their tracks.

In all historical texts they are described having an unattractive and repulsive physical appearance. Which is no surprising since on the way to Anatolia they mixed and interbreed with Persians, Arabs, Central Asians, Armenoids, and they picked up the worse traits, at least all this mix and mongrelisation wasn't successful. The Kurds, the Persians, the Greeks, the Armenians all have their own features while you are a hideous mongrelised mix mainly of Indo-Iranians, armenoids and mongols.

There are historical texts of British and other historians where it is stated that Turks abducted white babies and consciously attempted to destroy their gene pool in order to upgrade their degenerate and unnapealing fugly race. And these are not my words. Unfortunately for them it failed like repeated cosmetic surgeries have sometimes the opposite effect, and as a result you still look to this day as a hideous mongrelised mix of totally unrelated ethnic groups.
