So after 1984, America gets involved to start a regime change war, and Hindustan/Khalistan/Pakistan becomes this horrible three-way clusterf***? Ok. So assuming Pakistan is already friendly with the USA (because India is pro-Soviet), we'd definitely see some covert Pakistani assistance in the...

How much Khalistan are we talking? Parts of OTL India only? Also parts of Pakistan? When did Khalistan become independent? During 1947? After the events of 1984?

Whaaaat this is amazing, high-quality work! Subscribed! Edit: fucking legacy of the Almohads :(

This could only happen through coalition of the Israeli Arab community and the Jewish left, and then only with unprecedented Arab voter turnout. POD: 1980 Jerusalem Law is passed, but included the word "annexation" and so Israel (il)legally annexed all of Jerusalem. Consequently, the Israeli...

What needs to change for this to happen? Another "Great Awakening"?

I'm pretty sure the whole Protectorate structure would have collapsed sooner rather than later. Without a clear king at the center of the British government, the whole balance of powers is thrown off-kilter. Parliament might even have gotten a real chance to abolish the monarchy for real and...

What needs to happen for Carthage to completely control, even for only a short time, the Mediterranean basin instead of Rome? Is that even possible? I read a bunch of "Carthage wins" TLs and they all seem to conclude that Carthage, at best, will only dominate the Western Med. Which seems...

What would the Jews even call a Levantine Jewish state. Judea?

Those are all good ideas. I'm excited to see what happens next! I wonder how these ideas will interact with the eventual decrease in the Roman city's Imperial centrality. I have truly never heard about the Hexapla. That's absolutely fascinating. Thank you for that education. The Dead Sea...

But I don't think they'd think that. Otherwise, why would the Mishnah rule on their legitimacy? It's not like the Egyptian Jews were polytheists. The centrality of the Jerusalem Temple was not as settled in OTL 1st Century Jewish practice that modern Jews like to claim. Perhaps ITTL the...

Galerianus' analogy makes sense - if Jews outside Jerusalem really did abstain from sacrifices. Josephus recorded that many Jews would return to Jerusalem for sacrifices on pilgrimage holidays like Pesach. I don't know to what degree diaspora Jews actually participated in the sacrificial...

Bravo, Vixagoras! This is excellent and seriously engaging. Thank you for writing this! This was exactly the alternate history I’ve been itching to read for months now. Thank you! I have a few issues, though, with how you’re describing the development of Jewish theology. I’m sorry to come in...
