The article highlights the confessional ups and downs in the Byzantine Empire. We find this information in the Chronicles of George Amartol. The author of the chronicle worked on his brainchild, starting in 842, in a monastery in Constantinople. When he completed his chronicle, this work became the most widely read among other Byzantine chronicles, surpassing any of them in the number of revisions and sequels. Chronicle - this in terms of coverage of events is a complete or world history; pathos - Christian monastic; in composition - fundamentally compilation, illuminating the subtleties of all sacred and ideological phenomena of its time. Time frame - from Adam to the modern George of Emperor Michael III (842-867); the substantive core of this work can be defined as follows: on the one hand, the reign of the Oecumens, on the other hand, a description of religious movements with factual accuracy and a clear description of certain heresies that oppose the Orthodox of the Orthodox Church. Such sources of the early Middle Ages provide information for clarifying and objective coverage of the religious situation of the early Middle Ages in general, and most importantly, it helps to determine what processes influenced during the formation and spread of a particular religion in the Central Asian regions, first of all, the penetration of some sacred ideas of Manichaeism and Nestorian Christianity into the territory of Western and Eastern Turkestan.
