One person who admits to being controversial does not an academic consensus make

Or it has to do with the cultural/linguistic connection between the peoples the Greeks referred to as Keltoi and the Romans called Celtae-- The Gauls (another "wahl" word). While there are significant differences between P-Celtic groups and Q-Celtic groups, they are still Celtic groups, and I...

I guess the best way would be to keep Danish kings in power in England longer. Perhaps Harthacnut isn't poisoned and reigns longer alongside Edward the Confessor.

I'd say your best bet, even as unlikely as THAT is, is to look at the different hair colors of other primates. That should give you the spectrum of what is genetically possible for humans.

American populations actually had a very strong crop-package, arguably better than Eurasia's. The Columbian Exchange is a strong indicator of that: Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, and many other fruits and vegetables that dominate the food market today were native american. What...

This is a detail I was very much unaware of. Well shoot! DAMN YOU DEVIL IN THE DETAILS!!! I've edited the update to reflect this new information.

Really? Priestesses, shield-maidens, divorce laws, anti-rape laws, and property laws that to the modern eye look like leaps and bounds ahead of contemporary Christian laws don't make you think that Norse paganism is more female-friendly than Medieval Christianity? (I say Medieval Christianity...

Another more out there option: Have the Ottomans conquer Italy. Later on, the Greeks cause trouble, and rebellions are put down. Said rebellious Greeks are resettled in Southern Italy and Sicily. Greece is settled by Turks.

It certainly would! So far, no actual event has really been that drastically different than OTL, it's more that the way these events came about has changed, which will inevitably alter the course of history. This battle in Hesse (I tried my best to render the transition between Chatti and Hesse)...

Well, he wasn't present at it, so... ;)

Oh I wasn't meaning to be brash or point anyone out in particular. I've seen this debate come up several times since I've been on the site, and it gets quite repetitive. As for that line, I was just trying to be silly

Probably not since the Druids had been entirely wiped out pretty much everywhere at the very latest a few centuries before this TL

Sorry this update is a lot shorter than my usual, but it said everything I wanted it to, and I couldn't really think of adding more without it being superfluous. Brevity and all that. Hope you enjoy and Merry Xmas!

I try to keep it classy :cool:

Why would they do that? Great Britain has the tin and populations they want, Ireland doesn't. More likely is for them to conquer both. Wasn't it Agricola who contemplated invading Hibernia?

Queen Mary didn't seem to care that much that they were Catholic like her when she started setting up English plantations in Ireland. I'd say a good POD might be actually to have more Irish success in the Nine Years War. Either the O'Neill's manage to establish a dynasty across Ireland and...

Ah. A well made argument. I concede. Well done :)

https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=336774&highlight=gaul here's a recent thread discussing the topic. consensus of people who don't know what they're talking about: Rome Conquers ALL!!!!! REVENGE FOR ROME! I BLEED SPQR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! consensus of people who...

A North Africa that Rome never took back. The Vandals were a tricky bunch, and even at their lowest point, they were able to out-smart and beat back a Roman force that greatly outmatched their own forces. But could a Majorian or Ricimer really do that well with the Huns pressing in on them...
