Really liking things so far. One question though. From the main lack of Islam there's also no Dome of the Rock built on the temple mount. So what is built on the ruins of the second temple? A church? Or even an eventual effort to rebuild a third temple?

Hello again, as the title says what would happen to Bulgaria, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans if the allies had won the Great War a year or two early? For this TL I'm going to actually be using the one where Rossevelt wins the 1912 election and uses the Invasion of Belgium...

Let's address the elephant in the room first. Suppose that for whichever reason you prefer the Roman empire never Christianizes. Maybe the persecutions are harsher, the religion itself isn't as evangelical or at least is more elitist, so Christianity just remains a small Jewish offshoot in the...

Lesser Burgundy or something? South Holland perhaps? Wafflehouse?

Hey all, looking back I'm glad my first thread on this topic went well. Anyways, now I'll ask how a 'No Islam scenario would affect Africa', immensely I imagine. For a POD, once again Mohammed either never begins his teachings, or he just dies early. Whatever works. So here are some of my...

Here sometimes. Other times not.

Hello once again. What would be the results if the ancestors of the Afro Asiatic languages were to die off early on, or at least never expand as far as they did? As you can imagine this POD goes back LONG ways (18,000 years according to some). Thus it will have a lot of changes later on. Just...

I imagine Buddhism will be the dominant religion on the steppe, though some Turks will convert to Christianity in the western regions (Russia, Ukraine, some of Khazakstan). Now I might be mistaken but Zoroastrianism did not look fondly upon the Turkic nomads of Central Asia. In fact, they were...

Sorry for reviving this. Just looking for some further clarification, I've read about antisemitism existing in Europe and the Byzantine Empire since the late Antiquity. Of course, there were laws restricting Jews from holding public office, serving in the military, marrying a Christian, and...

India will remain Hindu, and Iran Zoroastrian. The two could possibly emerge as somewhat of cultural twins ittl. Without the Muslims flipping the table of global politics and creating a new major cultural sphere the two might drift closer together. Personally, I discredit the idea of a...

I know the Koran says to seek out knowledge, but I don't recall any part in the Bible that explicitly says to ignore any new information. Sure the church engaged in the suppression of knowledge at various points, but the majority of that occurred in the early modern period from 1500 to 1700...

I wouldn't be certain that the Mongol expansions happen, or at least they occur at a different point and under different rulers leading to a VASTLY different empire and outcome. I say this because of 1. Ghengis is butterflied, and 2. the Tang and later dynasties could potentially keep a stronger...

I don't know if Martel is butterflied for sure, Islam didn't reach western Europe until the invasion of Hispania in the 710s, and by then Charles was alive and next in line for succession. Although the battle of tours won't happen, he could still possibly gain support and stability by invading...

Hello all I was curious about how a region like Europe that was largely seperate from the Muslim world would develop over the coming centuries? For a POD I'm going to assume that Mohammed simply doesn't start preaching this 'new' religion and lives out a regular life,(or maybe he's never...
