Alright, so I've got the beginnings of a TL in my mind, with a POD taking place around the Bronze Age Collapse (12th Century BC). This obviously means that most, if not all, of the religons from OTL will not be made ITTL. And while I probably could make up a bunch of the 'replacement' religions myself, I thought it would be fun to make it something of a group project.
What I 'need' is:
Some other things that I don't 'need' but would like to see:
If this should be moved to somewhere else, tell me and I'll try to do so.
What I 'need' is:
- I need at least one religion to come out of India/the Dharmic traditons, thought it'd be cool if there were a couple of different competing religions.
- Something to come out of Iran, though it doesn't necessarily need to be like Zoroastrianism at all
- A couple different religions to come from the China-area, the more different the better. Keep in mind that so far I've got some ideas of China being balkanized, which will probably affect the development of any religions there.
- Something to come from Celtic traditions, preferably with some heavy Greek influences
Some other things that I don't 'need' but would like to see:
- Something to come from the Berbers/Tuareg, possibly with some Egyptian, Hebrew or Punic influences
- Maybe something from Egypt itself, though so far in this ATL my plans involve them being (temporarily) conquered by the Sea Peoples who I plan on being a "confederation" of different peoples from around the Mediterranean.
- Possibly an adaption of Hittite mythology that survives in the Caucasus, though I'm not too sure about that
- A Mesopotamian religion might be cool, though in TTL it'd probably end up fusing into Iranian religion instead of being it's own thing
- I've always liked the idea of some sort of religion or philosophy coming out of Southeat Asia, specifically Java, and the loose ideas I've got for it in my own head have it being heavily syncretic
- And finally I might end up having some sort of Korea-Manchu hybrid culture be very important ITTL so some ideas about what their religion might be like would be welcomed
If this should be moved to somewhere else, tell me and I'll try to do so.
