Excuse me.
Anyway, if Persia does survive the Arab onslaught could we see surviving Zoroastrianism? And would this prevent the Mongols from adopting Islam? I think we could see a much more powerful Persia after the end of the Arab Golden Age.
I doubt the Franks are strong enough in the 630s to be the HRE. The Ostrogoths and Lombards or whoever controls Italy at this point(maybe its still the ERE) lack the power as well and the Bishop of Rome's position in Western Christendom might not be strong enough in this period to make such a declaration.
The Persians might be able to take the Levant in TTL as the Arabs resources without Mesopotamia might be a lot less than in OTL.
