How's this? (click the thumbnail for the full-size image, 750x500px)

All you need is a change to who backs Carter, when and with how much money. Lord Carnarvon was about to cut off Carter's funding when he found Tut's tomb, so a delay is quite possible, just by cutting off the money a year earlier. An earlier find is perhaps possible if permission is granted to...

Like I said, it's your TL and hence it's your own world, with whatever symbology you want. Good luck.

Assuming that this is for use in your TL, which is only up to the 12th century at the moment, there are a few anachronisms here (the York rose wasn't in use until the 14th C and supporters weren't used before then either). However, it's your request, so... I've done two versions. One has the...

I nominate: Best Graphic: TIME Magazine - The West is Red Preview; @ShahAbbas1571

@Gokbay Here are the CoAs you asked for. (as always, click the thumbnails for the full-size versions, all 410x685px) ps I did try amending the Moravian eagle to use gold instead of white, but I have to say it really didn't look good, so your decision to stick with red/white was the correct...

I had to break it into 16 pieces, as the limit on the hosting site I use is 32MB.

At the bottom left of each post you should see an option to 'add threadmark' - just click this, give it a label and click save. Only the thread starter can threadmark posts.

@Guatemalan Nat-Synd What is it that you'd like? I can't promise anything right now*, but I can certainly take a look. *and I've got some CoAs to do for Gokbay first.

Okay, thanks for the confirmation. I'll try to get this, and the others, done in the coming week but if not then I'm away for work the following week and on-call in the evenings, which means that I'll have time on my hands, so if they're not done before then, I'll certainly get them done then.

Sorry it's taken a while*, but here's a first draft of (1). The colours don't really match yet (the reds, for example) and look a bit faded (dark greys instead of blacks, etc), but before I spend time fixing these problems, can you confirm this is roughly what you want? In particular, are you...

You mean like the Khanate of Crimea but further west? Perhaps in the 13th/14th centuries, instead of being a vassal state to the Golden Horde, Bulgaria instead becomes a Khanate?

Maybe post 1868 - if not that one, then I don't think so.

Post 1851 in the VT-BAM thread links to a merge version (collection of 3600x3600px maps). In that set of maps I think you'll want file 104, which you can crop down.

That looks like a good site, thanks. I normally use Chambers for etymology (primarily the book, sometimes the site), but it's always good to have another reference - and one which adds little bits of additional info too!

Thanks for the reply. I know you're busy; please don't waste any time re-reading anything just to satisfy my random curiosity. I just liked the term, with its obvious connection to 'kin slaying' - my mind goes off in strange directions sometimes...

Technological advances require, in very broad terms, two things: knowledge and resources. So for a country to advance without its neighbours also doing so requires that country to have a monopoly on either the knowledge or the resources. Knowledge is almost impossible to keep within borders...

Whilst there may well have been a slight increase in sales, I don't think it would be possible to quantify them, as Earl Grey tea is produced by so many different companies in many different countries. It's the second most popular tea in the UK, accounting for a bit less than a fifth of all tea...

I'll have a look, but it may take me some time - very busy with work at the moment and, more importantly, birthdays coming up for my children.
