  1. Chinese pulls a Russia, conquerors the eurasian steppe

    that is that the 663 and the territory there didnt only lasted a couple of years as for the , the western turkic khagante had been defeated but the reason why transoxiana and beyond was not maintained was the Tibetan empire
  2. Oracle of Sobek 𓆋

    WI: no alphabet

    They did adopt an alphabet though, that's what Coptic is. The point of the hieroglyphic script wasn't ease of use, it was to express layers of metaphysical significance on top of the phonetic information. The complexity/playfulness was the point, which is why we eventually end up with...

    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    @carlton_bach can i ask about the aftermath for the mittleuropa countries (is there a name for the group of countries that got independence in the baden baden treaty?) after the second war. How national identity develop will it be much more stronger due to the war? So will Ukranians be more...

    There are 5 not 13 though. Did you mean the southern (5) colonies of the 13 Colonies instead? A bit nitpicky but I wasn't sure if you meant there was a southern version with 13 colonies of its own.
  5. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Then either the Irish Govt ITL are rank amateurs or Lynch is being outplayed by elements of his own govt, knowing they can't fully hide behind the shield of helping refugees and entering NI territory. I really, really question the wisdom of their actions
  6. WI: no alphabet

    Ge'ez derives from the Ancient South Arabian script, which in turn reflects a Linear tradition of abjad from the Levant parallel or derived from whatever the authors of Proto-Sinaitic graffiti where drawing from.

    Alternate warships of nations

    Victor Crutchley, page Narvik forward. The USS Texas (BB0) was a British design concocted by Naval Construction & Armaments Co, that is known today as VSEL. The mistakes in her design were mostly British. USS Maine is strictly the USN's fault, for that was an in-house botched job. USS...
  8. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    maybe Tomsk? They strike me as the least likely to shoot a German out of hand and let him set up a life for himself as long as he swears allegiance to the state. Alternatively just go for a Wondering charecter would work well, like the American College Student.
  9. Chinese pulls a Russia, conquerors the eurasian steppe

    Why would China expand northwards? The Russian expansion into Siberia was mostly driven by the fur trade. As for the steppe, there is plenty of time for a splinter Sinitic group to populate the steppe from the Shang era onwards. All you need is for the steppe to become empty enough that some...
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    According to Jim Henson: A Biography he had some loosely new age spiritualist quasi-pagan type beleifs. He was a big fan of the Seth Material, which was a big basis of the lore of The Dark Crystal. And the thing he told The Wiccan ITTL is basically identical to what he told similar publications...
  11. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Major change to the ww2. Huge savings on manpower and material for Axis in general, and Germany in particular means a lot more pressure on the British in the MTO.

    Maryland, Virgina, the Carolinas, and Georgia are considered the "Southern Colonies"
  13. WI: no alphabet

    The OP however assumes that the Ugaritic cuneiform script does not exist.
  14. The Professor

    WI: no alphabet

    The Egyptians had a suite of alphabetic, syllabic, and logographic symbols in their writing. The formal system maintained all these but a more alphabetic/syllabic version became what's called hieratic.
  15. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    That bell is constantly ringing in German Generals memories when they talk about Soviet victories. But it would have been quite hard for Berliners to hear that bell over the sound of IS-2 tanks firing 122mm shells into their houses...

    The History of the Restored Portugal, the Brigantine Dynasty.

    To this tl will be hard since Portugal is now focused in the Brazilian situation. Controlling Angolan slave trade is more important to build up the sugar industry in Brazil, and more resources in founding a new colony while facing Spain and the Dutch is merely impossible for a country that is...
  17. The Empire Parnell Built

    IMHO, for Comte de Paris, is not right to use "Paris" as his surname. His surname was d'Orleans, and "Comte de Paris" is only his title as heir of the French throne.
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    This got me wondering, ITTL are any of the base depots in North Africa getting creative with any of the older and now clearly obsolescent tanks (thinking A9, A10 and anything captured from the Italians)? OTL anything vaugly tank like was kept in service due to the shortage of armour. Here...
  19. WI Germany Took Indochina Instead Of Alsace-Lorraine In Treaty of Frankfurt?

    Problem is, Germany had a use for Alsace-Lorraine, or at least thought so. They had no use whatsoever for Indochina. Germany at the time barely had a navy at all, and their entire strategic thinking was laser-focused on Europe. Also, the German perspective tended to think of A-L as, well, German...
