Inspired by the Explain the AH Quote | alternatehistory.com and AH Cultural Descriptions | alternatehistory.com threads. In this thread one person comes up with an alt-historical event and the next explains and gives them their own. You must explain what happened in the event and why (you can go...

While it's been gestating ever since I took my first Latin class in high school, recent events have convinced me to make good on that interest and study up on Classical Civilization. Given the myriad achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans--from inventions like the Antikythera mechanism...

Despite the fact that they've been out of everyday use for quite some time and were once spoken in eras without modern recording, long-extant languages still remain with us in some form or another. Enough, in fact, so that dedicated learners can become fluent and immerse themselves in the works...
