The Jerusalem Talmud was written between 350-400 AD in the East Roman Empire
A century later a Jewish Kingdom appears in Yemen in 517 AD under Dhu Nuwas πΏ. His strong-armed leadership quickly became a reign of terror as he persecuted and massacred much of its Christian population who wouldn't convert. He was killed by an intervention from Christian Ethiopeans in 525 AD
A second Talmud was completed sometime between 500-600 AD at Babylon by Jews who lived in the Sassanid Empire. About a century and a half later in 740 AD these Talmudists travel north of the Caucasus Mountains ποΈ to convince the Khazar King Bulan to convert to Judaism
Long time βοΈno state. They have to start again somewhere, right?
What is interesting is that it looks like Christians in Persia and Arabia wanted to make sure that the Talmudic Jews who had their brand new book πwould not be able to create another Dhu Nuwas-type state in the Middle East - the center of Ancient Civilizationπ- and acted premptively to stop it happening
Shortly after the completion of the Babylonian Talmud, in 616 AD the Sassanid Empire under Khosrow II π (590-628 AD) finally wins control of both the Levant and Egypt in a little known conquest of these Byzantine-Roman territories
This region had been Greek/Egyptian-Roman for the previous 600 years but had grown corrupt and restless with succession a distinct possibility especially after the Sassanids began their war in 602 AD
Khosrow II, who was married to a Christian woman π°, ensured these people remained under the wing of a civilized Empire
Not for long though
After a short period of Sassanid control the Byzantines were back, defeated the Sassanids and reestablished their rule over Jerusalem and Alexandria. But they were not to suffer for long as the Arabs stormed the territoryβοΈ in 639 AD
Today we remember the Arab conquest and not the Sassanid one because the former peoples' hold on these lands lasted for centuries and lead to significant religious and cultural changes
But for quite a long time after the conquest many of the coins of this new Arab Empire, the (supposedly) Islamic Caliphate, are recognisably Christian - one of them even has a cross on it! βοΈ
youtu.be
Plans of the Talmudic Jews foiled again this time by Christian Arabs
Apparently unable to infiltrate the Caliphate one hundred years later the Talmudists convert the Khazars, an aggressive Turkic steppe tribe, to Judaism. This was significant because the Khazars bordered the Abbasid Empire. Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid (786-809 AD) waged war against the Khazars to ensure they did not breach the Caucasus mountain barrier
But a step-up in military conflict was apparently not the only Abbasid response to the new Khazar state in 740 AD
It's only after the Talmud gained a state-sponser in 740 AD did the Abbasids (c749 AD) set about writing the history of the traditional Islamic narrative
While a Muhammed is known from 692 AD there is no textual or numismatic evidence of the Prophet Muhammed in the context of the Quran and Mecca. And no evidence, not even archaeological, of a city called Mecca πͺ
The texts, the words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammed, his association with Mecca, and the Quran which was sourced to Muhammed were written from the mid-8th century β³β©π 100s of years after he lived
The Christian Arabs (possibly non-trinitarian) who conquered Egypt and Jerusalem become firmly established as Muslims βͺοΈ
Incidentally, Al-Aqsa Mosque gets destroyed in the middle of the 8th century (apparently following an earthquake) and rebuilt in 758 AD π
Just another concidence
Although the hypothetical new history I'm writing is still very loose there is a Talmud -> Response pattern that might be worth further study given that we know virtually nothing of Islam for over 100 years after the death of Muhammed
It looks like Book 1 π was defeated, and then after they wrote Book 2 π that was vanquished as well and the Quran π was key to kicking Talmudism to the margins of history

Another interesting date:
The Idrisid Dynasty in Morocco was founded in 788 AD. This was the first Shia Muslim state. Zaydi Shia is very close to Sunni Islam in practices and beliefs.
