  1. Living Forever Like Ra - a Dynastic Egypt Timeline

    How do these mesh? If the Assyrians are stronger than OTL, they'd conquer Phoenicia, thus leaving Carthage to manage itself as happened in OTL. I'd be interested in seeing how keeping it a colony ITTL occurs

  2. Living on Ma’at: An Atenist Egypt TL

    What was Akhenaten's replacement for the Hall of Judgment and Ammit the Devourer ITTL? In OTL, Atenism says very little about the afterlife, although tomb depictions seem to imply a form of rebirth, and magic bricks set in the burial chamber at the cardinal points to protect the deceased from...

  3. Living on Ma’at: An Atenist Egypt TL

    This seems Buddhist. Also, the description of Atenism in this update sounds very Zoroastrian.

  4. The Grand Duchy of the West - A Valois-Burgundian TL

    Wow, very progressive of them!

  5. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    Great chapter! The OTL famously gave the Spanish rulers of the Portuguese empire (in the Iberian Union era) the middle finger, going so far as to attack the Spanish Jesuit missions to the west even though they were technically under the same monarchy. Here, since the French rule Brasil now, and...

  6. Samsara: An Antiquity Greco-Buddhist Timeline

    Oh that's a very good point! Buddhism says that desire leads to suffering and that's no bueno. Jews would push against that.

  7. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    Possibly. It's also possible that it's their excuse for electing Charles V, although anti-French sentiments were there. Still, Charles V had to scramble to bribe as much as possible, even to the point of taking loans from the Fuggers and the Welsers (to whom he couldn't pay back, instead giving...

  8. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    Hence the possibility of "Prince of Bresil" being given to the second in line to the throne, i.e. after the Dauphin who is the first in line.

  9. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    In OTL, the Portuguese royal heir was called the Prince/Princess of Brazil. Did France have the Dauphin at this point of TTL? If so, "Prince of Bresil" could be given to the second in line to the throne. The House of Valois has the potential to be the Hapsburgs of TTL. If France still had the...

  10. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    As did the Habsburgs who were forced to spend all of their American wealth and borrow heavily from banks such as that of the Welsers for their internal and external troubles. Would the Ottomans be able to recruit the Salé corsairs if they could conquer Morocco?

  11. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    The Ottomans knew how to build ocean navies. They were active in the Indian Ocean after the conquest of Egypt and the Hejaz. They fought the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean and had a naval alliance with Aceh. Sure, these projects didn't go far in the long term, but still. There's also the...

  12. l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL

    Not for lack of trying. The Ottomans wanted to conquer Morocco so they'd have a way to colonize the New World. The Medicis attempted a colonization in the Guyanas. The Knights Hospitaller of Malta attempted a colonization project in the Caribbean, as did the Duchy of Courland (Latvia).

  13. Weave Hangings for Asherah: An Iron Age Timeline

    Very nice! How do you come up with the pictures?

  14. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    For a long time, crossbows were used alongside muskets (or more accurately, hand cannons) for a long time, mostly because crossbows were more accurate than the hand cannons. Once the hand cannon evolved into more accurate muskets, crossbows were phased out. In MiaJ, that'd likely take longer to...

  15. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    It says “mab’ûs” on my screen.

  16. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    The description of the "modern" airplane makes me think of the flying wing seen in Captain America: The First Avenger:

  17. Weave Hangings for Asherah: An Iron Age Timeline

    The alt-Genesis story reminds me so much of Tolkien's story of the Two Trees and how they were corrupted and killed by Morgoth. Got a cite on that? I'd love to read about it!

  18. A New World with New Ideas - A Brazilian Timeline

    If I recall correctly, there was minimal Dutch presence as the Dutch conquest of the Northeast didn't take in this timeline. So wouldn't there be minimal Dutch influence? A tunnel or a canal?

  19. A New World with New Ideas - A Brazilian Timeline

    I can imagine the shouts of outrage in the conference as opponents would claim that this means Portugal would essentially get two votes at the table. Britain: "If they could do that, then I'm bringing in Canada!"

  20. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - Volume I: The Abode of Peace

    As I recall, the Norwegian king Haakon IV Haakonsson (1204-1263) pursued an aggressive foreign policy in which he added Iceland and Greenland to his kingdom. If Vinland was still a colony and still in contact with the Old World, however sporadic, I can see Haakon extending his authority over to it.
