This is my first post in a Map Thread in 2.5 years. :coldsweat:
Some of the older folks on here might recall that I was once a rather active map maker and also wrote a TL, named Arladyana, but the TL has been abandoned and I had other things to do IRL.
I might reboot the timeline one day and...
If by "restored" you mean "adapted by later generations after having in practice died out", then I think it is not unreasonable to propose a very recent (or even future) POD.
A rough sketch:
-the Arab Rebellion is successful leading to a unified and relativly stable Arab state stretching from...
I just read the whole timeline and I really lke it, but I feel your division of Silesia could be improved upon.

I think it is not that difficult.
Have it similar to some buddhist schools: Gods exist but they can't aid in salvation.
Have Jesus say something along the lines of: "It is of no importance, who you make sacrifice to, but salvation is solely achieved through the Father."
There is IOTL actually...
Your well guarded mountain fortress is worthless in the case of war because it does exactly nothing to protect the all-important provinces to the south. And it is equally worthless during peace time because it seperated it is on the very periphery of the Roman and Persian world.
Connectivity? It is close to the furthest you can get in this hypothetical ERE from the rich Mesopotamian provinces and the all important Mare Nostrum.
