Who is that moron that wrote the article? Byzantine art of diplomacy? Saudia Arabia never existed when the Byzantines did! Also the Byzantines weren't known for their diplomacy.
It's like saying the prussians enagaged in Catholic meditative sessions.

- aatharuv 7y agoIf you're not a fluent English language speaker, you might want to look at a dictionary before calling people morons. In addition to its original definition as "what the Eastern Roman Empire morphed into", it also means: "excessively convoluted" "highly complex, intricate, and devious". These other definitions unsurprisingly are based on what English language speakers thought of the Byzantines..
- narag 7y agoRight, but it is nothing specific of English language. Oh, and the original definition should be simply "born in Byzantium", now Istambul.
