This was pretty cool... The byzantine just appeared out of no-where after the fall of the Roman Empire...

...not being a history buff, I don't get it, was it formed from the old Roman empire?

Short answer: essentially, yes. The Byzantine Empire was formed out of the old Roman Empire.

Long answer: that would be a good post one of these days. In the meantime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_empire#Origin

That was cool. There has been a lot of conquering over the years and yet, God is still preserving His own
