Imajin's Tartessos-on-Sardinia

[Othniel]

Hm, then Othniel's scenario would go more like this (I've also made a few changes of my own, because I'm like that):

In 612 BC Babylon becomes the capital of Babylonia.
609 B.C. New Tyre is estabilshed. It will quickly dominate Eastern Iberia.
605- 588 Under the rule of king Nebuchadnezzar their territory extented from the edge of Persia to what in the OTL today is called Albania. Many tribes are displaced, especially the Turks and Syrians. The Syrians will flee to Cyprus, where the City of Name? is established in the Eastern part of the islands.
600 BC - 580 Tartessos expands across Corsica and Southern Italy.
538 BC Babylon is sacked by the Medes and Persians. The Medes, as a stronger tribe, become the rulers, and the Persians incorperated into their millitary and are eventually assimilated.
532- 528 BC Egypt gains Independance, and incorperates Canaan.
530-522 Medes unable to hold the Balklands, A greek city league, led by Byzantium, forces the Greeks out of Greek-populated lands, and the Turks force Mede out of the rest of the Balkans. Greek is currently all controlled by Byzantium, but Turkland is independent from Byz.
572- 564 Tartessos gains control of North Italy, and manages to incorperate the Alpine lands and parts of France.
583-491 New Tyre begins unifing the Iberian Peninsula.

How widely is the "Tartessos-On-Sardinia" theory accepted?
Cause I wanted to see where his tl was going I pulled it out of the thread with my TL. Continue Imjin. ;)

If I do continue, I'll rewrite the beginning so it's not as much of a ripoff of yours...

[Othniel]

Here's the rest you had in my thread;

490-470 New Syria, capital at (Name?), takes over all of Cyprus.
481-479 Turkland and Byzantium go to war over some trivial matter. The war only manages to weaken both powers, Turkland especially.
475-460 Tartessos attacks Turkland, but only makes minor gains. Carthage goes to war with New Tyre, and gains a foothold in Iberia.
459-456 The Angles of Jutland migrate towards Northern France, where they establish Angle-Land (Merely for the sake of having England in France)
455-449 The Sviones conquer the Danes, and with it, all of Jutland. A powerful Svione Kingdom is established in the north.
448 Tartessos attacks Germania, but is forced back by an alliance of several tribes. These will colesce into a buffer state between Tartessos and Svionland.
447-441 Svionland attacks parts of East Britain, forcing the Celtic tribes there west.
435 Byzantium becomes a Republic after the Despot (An actual title) is overthrown.
433-425 Lusitanian tribes break free of New Tyran control. New Tyre looks to the northlands between it and England for expansion.
420-415 New Syria attacks Egypt. The war is mostly a stalemate, but in the end New Syria has a foothold in Canaan.

Here's a rewritten beginning:

610 BC - First definitive mention of Sardinia as the "Tartessan Domain" in Greek records.

589 BC - Tartessos extends over all of Sardinia, begins large-scale trading with Etruscans.

570 BC - Colonization of Corsica begins, Etruscan League established and supported by Tartessos.

563 BC - Etruscan cities threatened by Celts, and a massive war breaks out on Eturia's northern borders.

560 BC - Eturia is joined by Tartessos as the Celts rapidly gain on Etruria.

543 BC - The Celts have been pushed back. Liguria submits to Tartessan rule.

521 BC - Darius the Great becomes Persian Emperor, massively expanding the Persian domain through Babylonia and Palestine.

511 BC - Tartessos expands it's domains and cements authority over Liguria and Corsica.

500 BC - Darius I of Persia begins a massive attack on the city-states of Greece.

491 BC - In a decisive battle outside the city of Athens, Persian forces prevail, burning the city, soon moving on to Sparta to perform the same deed. Refugees overwhelm Magna Graecia.

482 BC - Syracuse cements it's authority over all of Greek Italy.

476 BC - Persia completes its conquest of the southern Caucasus, but fierce Scythians prevent them from going further. Macedon becomes a tributary state to Persia.

470 BC - The ancient kingdom of Urartu regains it's independence from Persia, however the southern lands have been completely assimilated by Armenian tribes.

463 BC - Urartu is forced to give up control of Armenia after a revolt supported by Persia. Armenia becomes a tributary state of Persia.

440 BC - Tartessos becomes a Republic following the overthrow of it's Kings.

432 BC - Revolts in Attica and the Pelopennese are brutally put down by Persian authorities. Corinth stays loyal, and is rewarded with independence as a tributary city-state.

412 BC - The Republic of Rome has become the dominant power in Latium, and rules all that land.

408 BC - Media successfully rebells against the Persian Empire. In responce, control is tightened across the remaining Empire. Corinth's independence is wiped out.

402 BC - Following threatening manuvers from Syracuse, Rome, Tartessos, and Eturia make a military agreement, though the war will never come to pass.

396 BC - The First Greco-Punic War breaks out over the status of Malta, which had both a Greek and Phoenician Colony. In the End, Syracuse is forced to back down and Malta becomes fully Carthaginian.

359 BC - Phillip II becomes King of the Persian tributary state of Macedon.

346 BC - The Greek cities in southern Thrace, including Byzantion, rebel, and are put down by a Persian army led by Phillip II. For Philip's loyalty, Macedon is granted a large stretch of land on the northern Aegean Coast.

340 BC - Philip II begins campaigning in Thrace, a land which had formerly been under Persian rule. During his campaigns, a large section of Thrace becomes Macedonian.

335 BC - Philip II is killed while campaigning in Thrace. His successor, a young Alexander, is ordered killed by Persian authorities, who seize control of Macedon, handing it to one of the Emperor's brothers. The Persian Emperor had feared the growing power of the state, and feared that it's mainly Greek rulers would manage to free Greece from Persian rule.

332 BC - Much of what remains of separate Thrace is united under King Romitalkes I.

330 BC - Second Greco-Punic War erupts between Syracuse and Carthage. By the wars end, both powers will have gained nothing, and Tartessos will have taken over much of the dominant trade.

321 BC - Tribes of Celts destroy several Phoenician settlements in Hispania.

314 BC - Crete manages to break free of Persian rule.

300 BC - A fire destroys Persepolis, causing a move of the Persian capital to Babylon.

It's probably getting rather implausible, though... Perhaps Uratru had been too Armenianized as this point to regain a separate existance, but I'm going to keep it as it is. On the map, the large persian state in Greece is Achaemenid Macedon, which has managed to hold on to most of Philip's conquests. The other Persian tributary state is Armenia.
