Greek Asia

[meninwhite]

Arnold J. Toynbee, "If Alexander the Great had Lived On", in _Some

Problems in Greek History_ (Oxford University Press, 1969).
Alexander of Macedon listens to his doctors' advice in 323 BCE, and
later returns to the Mediterranean, where he uses the Phoenicians for
his navy. Consequences: Alexander conquers Carthage, allies with
Rome, conquers India and China and lives until in 287 B.C.


In "If Alexander," Toynbee wanted a political entity that extended as
far as Britain in the West and Japan in the East, constituting the
reach, one way and another, that Hellenic Civilisation enjoyed. And,
in "If Alexander," he wasn't above loading the dice to achieve it.

Some problems...

1. What is this "Atlantis"? Where exactly is it?

2. Why are there Aztecs at this early time? At this time the Aztecs as we know them did not even exist yet. Their ancestors were obscure nomadic tribes living at some undisclosed location somewhere north of Mesoamerica, and there was no such thing as Tenochtitlan.

Atlantis was the name given to the Americas by Hannibal Barca who in Toynbee's ATH became an explorer and 'discovered' them.

Atlantis is that place that is beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" aka Gilbratar.
Which could have been Great Britain, the Azores, or as the Bahamas claims to be.

This thread is specifically referring to Toynbee's famous early alternate history where Alexander continued his conquests, not the mythical Atlantis.
