  4. WI: Roman/Carthage Alliance against a third power?

    Alexander the Great lives to a ripe old age, and he and his successors of a unified Macedonian Empire start casting their eyes westward?

  5. AHC: Mississippi River valley supports China-sized civilisation

    It would need an introduction of Eurasian livestock during Classical times (1000 BC to 250 AD) for there to be enough time to get an enormous China-size population. I dunno if a wayward Phoenician or Roman ship bringing those to the New World is ASB or not.

  6. Constantine Savior of Rome or is destroyer

    The notion that Christianity weakened the Empire is the creation of Ed Gibbon and is based on Enlightenment-Era secular polemics, not fact. Unfortunately this bad history was re-popularized by Carl Sagan's ignorant rant about Christians burning down the Library of Alexandria in Cosmos. :rolleyes:

    According to Ian Morris in his book Why The West Rules Europe pulled ahead of China around 1775.

  8. WI: early industrialization in China during the Song Dynasty

    I only learned of this reading Ian Morris' book Why The West Rules. An industrializing Song China would make a wonderful TL.

    He's also related to Robert E. Lee, IIRC.

    Good lord, Egypt is going to be a wasteland soon if these ethno-religious butcherings don't stop. :eek:

  14. Wrapped In Flames

    Damn, the US has really screwed the pooch. :eek:

  15. A Different Roll of the Dice

    Great timeline, but as somebody of East-Prussian descent on my mom's side I am not liking the way the war is going for Prussia. :(
