  1. AH Challenge: Hinduism and Christianity United!

    Hello! There is one interesting parallel regarding Hinduism and Christianity: In Christianity there is the trinity of the father, the son and the holy spirit, in Hinduism there is the trinity of Brahma, Wishnu and Shiva. In both cases the trinity means that the three entities are, in a way...

  2. The man in the high castle

    @Leo Caesius: Thanks for the interesting reply! Well, I don't really believe that. I hear all this talk about "yellow" skin, but when I see pale Japanese girls, their skin looks exactly like the skin of German girls, and when I see Japanese girls with a little darker skin, it looks like the...

  3. The man in the high castle

    Well, I didn't name myself after that idiot. :) As you most probably know the term Kaiser just means Emperor, Imperator, Tenno, Huangdi, et cetera. It can refer to any Imperator. But I think the formulation "die gelbe Gefahr" was created way earlier, in the Holy Roman Empire, refering to the...

  4. The man in the high castle

    Ah, thanks for explaining that. I couldn't remember the exact circumstances. But "white people"? Japanese are white, too. I have never understood why East Asians are called "yellow". They are white. It may have something to do with the guys who described the skin of the Mongols (or Mongolians?)...

  5. The man in the high castle

    Hello! WAR man? What is that supposed to mean? :)

  6. The man in the high castle

    About Mister Tagomi: That's an interesting point! I don't know whether PKD used the mentioning of the highway as a hint that Mister Tagomi entered our universe instead of the Abendsen-Universe. Perhaps it was a hint or perhaps the highway was built in the Abendsen-Universe, too. After all, in...

  7. New countries in Europe

    The very interesting idea of ruisramos reminds me of the Holy Roman Empire. :) Here is a nice map: The Holy Roman Empire in 1580 Nice little bit from Wikipedia:

  8. Vinland Found?

    By the way, why is it that whenever the Europeans met foreign oversea-people, the foreigners got infected with European viruses, but the Europeans never got infected with any foreign viruses?

  9. 326 BCE Battle of Hydaspes:Alexander the Great continues East

    The Ganges? Shouldn't that be the Indus? Were there people at this time who could speak both Persian and Chinese?

  10. What were the reasons for Japan losing WWII???

    Ah, thank you!

  11. What were the reasons for Japan losing WWII???

    But isn't the spelling false?

  12. What were the reasons for Japan losing WWII???

    Why "should of" instead of "should have"?

  13. The Chinese discover America in 1435

    Great! I'm fascinated by the idea that the cultures of East-Asia (in this case the Chinese) and the cultures of Mesoamerica (in this case the Aztecs) meet, before the Europeans show up at all.

  14. What if the Russian Empire didn't sell Alaska?

    The worst-case-scenario would be: Alaska as a part of the Soviet Union during the entire cold war. Interesting side-effect: We would probably have the great bridge over the Bering street.

  15. The Chinese discover America in 1435

    Thank you once again! I'm looking forward to the continuation of your ATL!

  16. AH Challenge: 1966 - Germany is extremely powerful and flourishing

    Okay, it's the year 1966. The POD shall not be prior to 1871. Germany is a free and relatively liberal nation, no Nazis, no Communists, and the Kaiser is merely a representative figure by now. Germany is at least as big as it was in 1914. Germany still has oversea-colonies. Germany is the...

  17. What if the Russian Empire didn't sell Alaska?

    Hello! I mentioned this idea somewhere else and Alayta wanted to see this as a thread, so here it is: What if the Russian Empire didn't sell Alaska? This is from the Wikipedia: At the instigation of U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, the United States Senate approved the purchase...

  18. The Chinese discover America in 1435

    @Leo Caesius and Hendryk: Thank you very much! I once read a text about the Shang-Dynasty, beginning in the Bronze Age 3700 years ago (and including the oldest known documents of Chinese writing) and ending about 3100 years ago. The text at least gave the impression to me that China (or...

  19. The Chinese discover America in 1435

    @Hendryk: Thank you very much for the great interesting reply! Two little questions about China: What is the Chinese word/title for the Chinese Emperor? (In Germany he was traditionally just called "Kaiser von China", just as the Tenno was called "Kaiser von Japan"). And how big were the...

  20. The Chinese discover America in 1435

    Very, very interesting! In the thread "Alternate Histories of interest" I had the little idea of these WIs: What if the Chinese seafarers had discovered Australia long before the Europeans? What if the Chinese seafarers had discovered Europe, before the European seafarers came to China? By...
