    Default 626 Constantinople siege: unholy alliance?

    In 626, the combined forces of the Avars, Sassanid Persians and Slavs besieged Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire

    Was this one of the most unholy alliances ever in history?

    Sassanids, Sclaveni, Avars were Pagans who observed Christians as mortal enemies.

    One Sassanian pagan came to Muhammed 626 A.D. "Soon Christians will be defeated by Persians and that will be the end of your religion as well" (he observed Islam and Christianity as similar religions)

    That's why Pagans were together.

    Bulgars participated in the raid, how is this not mentioned

    Bulgars were in Greece in BC era, when Alexander the Great army was awarded Bulgar wives and then in 626 the Bulgars were in alliance with Avars when they take Byzantine slaves from Constantinople to Pannonia and Carpathian and other various places in Old Great Bulgaria

    Sassanids were Zoroastrian (Monotheistic), not pagan

    I wonder how they communicated btw. I presume the Sassanids must have had translators who could translate from Persian to Slavic and to Avar?
