  1. Plausibility Check: Pre-Columbian Sao Francisco River hydraulic empire?

    The Aztec Dream

    I just wanna preface this beforehand, this is my first post and I'm no professional. My research and what I say here isn't gonna be perfect, but I would appreciate some criticism on anything that seems implausible or downright wrong. That's all, now history. On August 13th, 1521 the Aztec...
  3. How advanced could native South American seafaring become if the Moche had invented the outrigger canoe around 250 AD?

    This is my other Native American seafaring POD (might do another), as Native American seafaring is something deeply fascinating to me, and I personally think that the South Americans were the most advanced, due to both their sail use and their potential contact with Polynesians. And yet, I...

  7. WI Diseases kill all Native Americans?

    Kind of a dark idea, but what if smallpox and other diseases were a lot more deadly to Native Americans, resulting in virtually all of them dying before Europeans venture into the continent? The Americas are now empty of humans, there's no one to oppose the Spanish once they return with the...

    Long term developments of a moderately successful Vinland colony? (read OP post please people)

    Several Questions about a Unified Native American Empire upon Contact with the Old World
