1200AD Maps
Observations of the past few two centuries:
- North America: We can observe a Viking Christian settlement of Newfoundland, called Vinland. The area is still not thoroughly Christianized, so as colonization would progress, a few Norse colonies may emerge indeed.
- The Mayan and Andean civilization spheres progressed a little southwards.
- East Africa experiences the spread of Nestorianism (akin to OTLb spread of islam, but at a slower pace. Similarly, Zorostrianism also began to spread in a few areas along the coast.
- The Ethiopian Church has spread in Adal
- Caravan routes from Maghreb have resulted in spread of Catholicism first among the Tuareg, and subsequantly among the peoples of the Sahel. Kanem Bornu was first reached by Chrisitians from the Nile Valley, hence it has become Myaphysite, but subsequently turned Catholic.
- Martanian (post-Roman Morroccan) colonization of the Canarias.
- German Ostsiedlung: involves German settlers in Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, Brandenburg, Styria and German settlement of Transylvania.
- The Chrisitening of Russia is almost complete, and a part of eastern Latvia is Orthodox as well. Sweden has established a foothold in Finland. The Russians are expanding northwards again.
- The Vlachs have settled most of Wallachia, and are being pushed north of the Danube by the Bulgarians.
- Let us nor forget the settlemnet of Nestorian Oghuz Turks in Anatolia and Azerbaijan.
- A large part of the Cumans and Kipchaks have become Myaphisite, which is the result of Caucasian and Armenian missionaries , who manged to convert Kazan first. A leftover of Jewish Khazars can be still seen.
- Oman has become Zoroastrian, and Yemen a bastion of Judaism.
- Decline of Jainsm in western India. Nestorian missionaries in southern India and the Maldives
- Chinese settlement of the south.
- The Tanguts have converted to Buddhism
- Uzbeks are the only Manicheans left
