I'm Totally Fascinated by the Power of the Byzantine Empire

I'm totally fascinated by the power of greek culture in general, but especially in the eastern mediterranean and the near east. I think we would have seen even more of it than we do. It is amazing that t they build these ships, that they have the technology to build them, and then the technology to row them and to fight battles withna tono. Nat navigation is really fascinatend. There's the whole art of navigation for pre modern societies. And you can learn a lot talking to fishermen in the mediterranean, even to day. But they think they could do a lot. They really could do a much.
