    Yet somehow, the people on this site always want to butterfly Jesus at the same time.

    Impact of Surviving WRE instead of ERE

    You mean sponsoring learning and making records and preserving roman knowledge? Later building the first universities and encouraging experimentation, developements in mathematics and linguistics? The so called Dark Ages were called such because we have a derth of written material from the...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    There is a reason why, when the Gospel of John was translated to Chinese; John 1:1 was translated as "In the beginning was the Dao. And the Dao was with God. And the Dao was God."

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    Lao Tzu definitely. He's considered by a fair few to have been the closest any man came to God through his philosophy, without divine revelation . Of course by that they mean his original philosophy as written, not the many cults and immortality claimants that came later. Confucious I have a...

    Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    A distinctly odd legal debacle when a descendent of Joseph Smith took over leadership of the Mormon Church. Nicknamed Hamurabi for his insane legalism. He became delusional and renamed the Utah branch to the Holy Kingdom before suing the State for the right to build a Palace of Law on Public...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    It was only popular because the Sassanids promoted it as a way to split the Native church off from their Roman counterparts, it would be highly unlikely to be as popular a Christological doctrine ittl.

    An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    You mean the word that was originally used to describe the sport before the name was arbitrarily changed out of spite? :openedeyewink:

    The Eternal Empire

    You seem to have an issue of referring to roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy as if the great Schism had already happened. By this point bboth were the same church only differing by liturgical practice. Not even the major early point of contention in the filioque had happened yet. And with the...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    Because greek was the Ligua Franca of the Near and Middle East for Centuries at this point. Heck it was even used with some regularity even in the Persian Empire for some time.

    The Eternal Empire

    Ooh, I've been waiting for a thread like this for a long time. Justinian with a direct heir who is raised competent should definitely help with keeping the empire away from the instability that followed from Justin and the death of Maurice.

    An Age of Miracles III: The Romans Endure

    Seriously? A starwars quote? I thought you were stopping with that kind of thing after the whole Lord of the Rings thing during the war with Timur.

    A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Would it be possible to have map of recent progress for this. I'm starting to lose focus on who controls what right now.

    The Justiniad --- A Heraclian Timeline

    One must remember that the wine is the blood of Christ poured out for mankind. To water it down is to water down Christ's blood ie his very nature. Which has implications of monophysitism which was not looked kindly upon by the Chalcedonian Church. Everything it Christianity in it's own way...

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Honestly from that map I eventually ultimately want to see Egypt re-assimilated back into the empire.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    That’s why you need lot’s and lots of cats. Maybe import them from Cyprus they apparently have tons. As to the Triunes, learning that Basileus444 is portraying them in the way they are out of what sounds like spite for all those Britannia rules the waves threads is a little disappointing to be...

    WI: Byzantines retake Rome

    If the ERE kept rome the HRE would never come about. It was created due to the Papacies insecurity with the lombards. IOTL the ERE was too weak to provide security and was having issues with the Pope due to Iconoclasm. Thus the Pope at the time believed that he couldn’t afford to rely on the...

    What if Rome discovered America?

    This dos make one think about what Rome would have done if by some ASB happenstance they ended up with a map similar to this. Maybe with the words removed and just the Eurasian nations coloured in.

    A Holistic History of the Ālmā Suryāyā (Orbis Syriacus)

    I'm seeing a lot of references to the concept of Universal empires. Is this going to be a theme of this timeline where historians perceive civilizations as gravitating towards conglomerates of imperial megastates like China or Persia, and Rome and the Indian empires? If so I like it, I like it...
