Legions of Sand Brainstorm

I've recently made a post for a TL which had a POD in the 1000s. I've decided to, however, change this to a rival concept I had which goes back to the 500s. The POD is Garmul not attacking Byzantium allowing the Mauro-Roman Kingdom to survive.

So just to start off with, here are some of my own ideas:
  • Visigothic Spain survives. Maybe taken over by a Frankish adventurer?
  • During the Sassanid-Byzantine War, the Mauro-Romans take their opportunity and invade Africa not giving Heraclius the chance to save Byzantium.
  • Khosrau II has Muhammad killed before OTL and thus Islam collapses in on itself with the violence being turned inward rather than outward.
  • The Arabs being weaker means that the Sassanids weather the migration of divided Arab tribes.
  • Ethiopia develops into a naval power due to the Muslims never crushing their naval capabilities and due to their need to compete with the Persians for Yemen.
  • The Mauro-Roman kingdom develops into two cultural zones with one based around Morocco and another around Tunisia.
