ignoring that nasty bit in the second post, the real answer would probably be "New Afrika", a real proposed state in/for the region and its African-descended population. that's not especially creative, though :P

again, the "factor of ten" thing i mentioned before--the whole idea that Atlantis is a giant lost continent that was destroyed 10,000 years ago could easily come from a translation error and the "real" one was the Minoans, which there is plenty of evidence for

that's pretty much exactly what i said twenty-two hours ago XD :P

with Atlantis in mind, though, one theory i've heard is that--assuming it was a real place at all in any way, shape, or form--Plato (or Solon, whichever, i'm starting to fall asleep right now) may have gotten it wrong by a factor of ten: it didn't exist ten thousand years ago, it was only about...

agreed. that's utterly ridiculous. everyone knows that Noah's Ark is in Armenia ;)

you could've said that it was from a video game adaptation or something :P

so a movie from 1972 used computer-generated graphics that wouldn't be invented for another thirty years or so for one scene? XD

so people who get banned also get Jaguars? lucky sonsabitches.... :P

hey, all. this thought occurred to me recently and i wanted to get some peer review for it. for clarification, i've long been considering that the alternate version of the American Civil War in my ASB ATL would be shorter than it was IOTL as an unintended consequence of a completely different...

here's a link to the "Pop Culture in TL-191" thread for those interested: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/pop-culture-in-tl-191.463675/ unfortunately, my morning coffee hasn't quite kicked in yet so i don't feel like typing much more right now, but i wrote a fair bit in the...

part of the premise here is "all other things being the same" :P it's no fun if it's completely different and we don't get Marius and Caesar and such ;)

well the relevant POD for my ASB ATL is much earlier than that, but this isn't necessarily for that one. i just thought it was an interesting possibility ;) you raise an excellent point on Vesuvius as a whole that i hadn't considered, though off the top of my head i don't know if it ever erupted...

also a very interesting question :)

well, obviously :P ;) the basic idea is an examination of that, and particularly if Rome could somehow survive it

hey, all. this idea has been rattling around in my brain for a while and i finally decided to make a thread about it after deciding minutes earlier to commit it to paper (well, to a digital-only document, at least) in the main notes file for my ASB ATL. the premise is simple enough: all other...

*shrug* it's still in extreme-early development as an idea

i came up with a multiple-capitals idea for Brazil in my ASB ATL (not sure if it'll go through at this point--the whole thing is under heavy revision at the moment) as part of a deliberate analogy to OTL's South Africa while still mainly being its own thing--Rio de Janeiro is the executive...

shall we assume that the enclosed part of Arabia is some kind of Bedouin reservation? :P

Wallonia, Flanders, or a combination of them (as in "Wallonia-Flanders" or "Flanders-Wallonia" rather than "Wallanders" or "Flandonia")

this one occurred to me just earlier today: in Egyptian mythology, Set is basically the god of evil, fitting in where far too much media thinks Anubis goes. if memory serves, it wasn't always this way (a relic of this being that Set is the chief protector of Ra when he passes through the...
