i just checked that and actually it's not--the parts of Siberia north of Kamchatka are on the North American Plate, but Kamchatka itself isn't :P though a series of countries based on the tectonic plates would actually be pretty cool, if implausible--feels like it could work for an alternate...

my sentiments exactly "Caspian Sean" is still funny, though XD

does anyone else have any input? i'd really appreciate it

fixed that for ya

probably an interesting secondary effect to Ancient Judaism by making some change to Atenism--an attempt by the pharaoh Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamen, to establish a monotheist state religion during his reign which had the sun god Aten (who he conflated himself with--he originally reigned...

i also once considered the possibility of the Rosetta Stone being destroyed by a stray cannonball during the alternate Napoleonic Wars :evilsmile:

i can't remember if i was really seriously considering it, but one idea i had regarding that is that Libertatia really does persist and the pirates mainly live there in isolation, maybe as much as a century later than they did IOTL, and then reality punches them right in the balls when a...

so i learned not too long ago that not only is the current Egyptian government planning on building a whole new capital city for Egypt (or something like that, i forget the exact details) but this also isn't the first time this has been proposed/attempted. along with Cairo itself, there was also...

that or an alternate version of the concession from the Confederates after Great War I

it looks more like a poorly-designed alternate periodic table :P

Eva Gabor, no question

that's also one that's pretty easy to avert: just have him bring a coat and gloves to his inauguration and he probably won't die

yeah, Hastings is pretty easy to get a Saxon victory for. the latest possible POD for that is definitely the time when William's horse was killed from under him and he was briefly trapped under it, making the Normans think he was dead. delay him getting back up by a few minutes and they might...

one idea i had could be summarized as "No Morphine TL", simply supposing that morphine is never discovered and how that could ultimately affect the rest of the world. that's not exactly a compelling idea, though.

i have to wonder what the criteria for "North America" is supposed to be here, since that's clearly what this is and they have the three usual candidates + Cuba, Jamaica, and Belize, but not Guatemala, Greenland, or any other Caribbean country?

looks like the Ameri-Soviet Union/Russo-American Alliance from Ghost in the Shell XD

pretty much. you need a very early POD (relatively speaking) to keep Disney out of the running. things could easily have gone over badly for Walt, but i wouldn't begin to speculate on when that could be 1) because i don't know Walt Disney's personal history well enough to judge exactly when and...

yeah, i know :P it's more because i really just don't want to bother with making an actual conlang but still want them to have a "distinct" language XD you can bet that i'd take most of this into account if i ever decide to turn it into a proper language, though ;)

Overly Sarcastic Productions and Extra Credits have both done videos on the Five Suns, and while they explain the myth itself quite well they don't provide the dates ascribed to them. i'll try to remember to find the dates that i wrote down for them, but here's these in the meantime:

going a bit further, the Aztecs (and possibly Mesoamericans in general) believed that there had been multiple suns for multiple eras, the current one being the fifth and that it will end in a few thousand years, and that these suns go back several thousand years and probably long before humans...
