  1. AHC: European International Sports Leagues By 1700

    I don’t think you could have teams or even single individuals traveling internationally fast enough for leagues to have games often enough until you have trains or steamships. Two or three events per year isn’t going to be enough. I don’t think you could develop the technological advancements...
  2. Exotic non-Hellenic teenagers with exotic non-Hellenic recipes in the ancient Roman Empire

    The pagans would probably let the lions of the Colosseum taste test the foreign teenagers for food safety before adopting their recipes.
  3. Exotic non-Hellenic teenagers with exotic non-Hellenic recipes in the ancient Roman Empire

    For starters, most of the recipes you mention depend upon ingredients from Asia, the new world, the tropics and perhaps Africa. I’m not sure how you’d get them to the Roman Empire at all, let alone fast enough to not have them spoil.
  4. WI (ALTERNATE HISTORY TL CHALLENGE): What if certain bands/acts became massive names in music?

    How about Richard Pryor? I know it sounds odd, but he actually did have a children's show called Pryor's Place briefly on CBS in 1984.
  7. The Selma Massacre

    I just have a small quibble here. Tom Hanks was 9 years old in 1965 and probably isn't the best source on what was happening then, especially about Jim Morrison, who was attending UCLA while Tom Hanks was in Northern California. Great timeline! I'm enjoying it very much.
  8. ALTERNATE BILLBOARD #1s 1980-2016

    June 20th, 1981: "Medley" - Stars On 45 June 27th, 1981: "Medley" - Stars On 45 July 4th, 1981: "All Those Years Ago" - George Harrison
  9. The Golden Age: An Alternate History

    I'd guess it was supposed to be Howard Keel and Rita Hayworth.
