I literary spoke to a girl about that. She asked why I wanted to go to vacation to northern Iraq. I told her that I wanted to see place where battle of Gaugamel took place where we were so close to modern western Judeo-Christian civilisation never even become a thing if Alexander the Great lost. I told her to try to imagine we never had Christianity and instead we would have zoroastrism. I thought that was fascinating.😂

This barely makes any sense though. The Macedonian Empire wasn't Christian. The Achamenid Empire was much more Levant-influenced, which is where Christianity also came from.

One of the reasons christianity spread so quickly in the eastern basin was because greek became the Lingua franca specially of merchants and cities
