  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Bernie's a blast to write too. FYI Roger Rabbit's Radical Review is supposed to be "Revue" like in the old Vaudeville sense. *shakes fist in the rain in a helicopter pan* Curse you again, things that spell check misses!!! Empty Nest as a GG spinoff was OTL as well. Seriously, Henson loved...
  2. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    Where did I say maykop???? I said in general the contribution of middle Eastern or near Eastern innovation on yamnaya formation and subsequent, maykop is a copper bronze Age civilization, maykop had little to do with CHG who are a Neolithic people.They are in different era. Proto indo...
  3. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I heard somewhere that Hitler actually wanted the evacuation to succeed. He was afraid that otherwise Britain will ask for peace and he wouldn't have any excuse to offer uncle Joe for the armies concentrated on his border. There is no proof for this theory, but it makes sense nevertheless.
  4. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    What he said. Plus the British had some 9.2" guns at Gibraltar until the middle 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortifications_of_Gibraltar#Twentieth_century According to the above Wikipaedia article they were last fired in April 1976 which suggests that they were decommissioned as part...
  5. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    Scythians, Celts, Slavs, this is all so much later that I think it is very difficult to derive some useful insight from the comparison. The Yamnaya were a dynamic group which had absorbed many important innovations which changed life on the steppe forever, and their expansion into Europe hinged...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Manichaeanism has definitely seen better days, largely owing to Nestorianism and Buddhism coming west and swamping it. It's been in a steep decline since the Naimans showed up.

    Effects of these PoDs in Pakistan and Beyond?

    Well because @Sārthākā wrote first Indo-Pak war. So I assumed Pakistan just was a bit more successful in the war, rather than there being a plebiscite. Sheikh Abdullah did have a cult like following in the valley, but he wasn't in favour of Pakistan (if I know correctly, because the reform's...
  8. Germanic ships before the Viking Age

    Not great ones. Involved a lot more rowing, and less sailing. Me, I loved the idea in the movie King Arthur of the Saxons rowing north the entire length of England to land north of Hadrian's Wall..... If it hadn't been for Keira Knightley in strategic strips of leather, that movie would have...
  9. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    In this TL, Edith Summerskill still became a Life Peer in 1961. Peter Shore was elected Labour MP for Halifax in 1955. Gaitskell appointed him Minister of State at the Board of Trade in December 1961.

    Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Especially if it's a one-time forced settlement or a constant stream of Samnites heading into Bactria, much like how the Greek presence in Bactria preceded Alexander's arrival by two centuries since it was used as a dumping ground by the Achaemenids.

    Just stumbled upon your Frostpunk/ASOIF ISOT, and just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading it. Shame that it has been put on hiatus. Nonetheless, thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with everyone!
  13. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    Also in this TL Alf Robens did not become Chairman of the Coal Board. He stayed in the House of Commons as Labour MP for Blyth, and in the shadow cabinet. When Gaitskell became Prime Minister, he appointed him Chancellor of the Exchequer. Callaghan became Lord President of the Council and...
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    I think he wants them back, not in Switzerland. ;)
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It pretty much is certain. The vote of the Cabinet to continue the War and backing Churchill against Halifax (essentially the end of the War Cabinet Crisis) came on the 28th May. The Dunkirk evacuation had begun on the 26th and by the 28th only just under eighteen thousand troops had been...
  16. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    In a sense we already have a group of Indo-Europeans that managed to only really occupy the East and the Steppe like the Scythians as their impact on Europe beyond the Pontic Steppe was relatively sporadic and demographically and linguistically weak(compared to the Celtic expansion or the Slavic...
  17. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Personally, I was introduced to the band through their work on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse IOTL, so now that the show happened a while earlier with the Muppet versions of Mickey and the gang, while TMBG is with Hyperion, who can say that the Hot Dog song won't be as much of an earworm as the Muppet...
  18. Flag Thread V

    A flag for a communist Britain I made.
  19. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    Suppose your right about the development of Brazil. As for the succession, this is alternate history but we do have to consider the situation of OTL so we could see some rivalry but overall I think the 3 kingdoms would still unify. There was another thread about Miguel de Paz living that...
