Is there any History where the POD would be in the first dynasty Egypt? Or before the Indo European Migrations occur? I'd LOVE to do an alternate history where the POD is the Ice Age, would anyone be interested in that?
A History before History POD?

Problem is that the butterflies will be so massive that it will go like frankenstein's monster and overthrow you. This is why no-one dares to a no Islam TL, because its just too overwhelming.
Nonsense! One could hypothetically plan a no Islam TL out decade-by-decade (region by region) until they get a sense of socio-cultural flow and direction to take their TL places!
One must forget that the present exists in order to bring a timeline towards a truly uncertain future!
I'm doing a no-Islam TL pretty much? Well, Its already butterflied out.
I want in on whatever no-Islam project you're doing. I have so much vested interest in what could've been that I would never miss working in such opportunities. PM me all the details and I'll help you get the ball rolling.
I tried to do a timeline in which Sargon dies shortly after his birth...needless to say, the butterflies were indeed overwhelming. Taking into account all the changes that would/could have happened after the POD (including alternate weather and climate conditions) was becoming a bit too much too soon, and I decided to drop it. I wouldn't mind returning to it, however, if anyone else would be willing to help.
Unless you have somehting very specific about the Ice Age that you know of, isn't the Ice Age actually ASB?
I almost considered an Etrusco-wank until I realised that all the Latin terms in English would be butterflied away - just for starters - and thus I stared into the abyss, and NOPE'D the hell out of there.
Well there's quite a few Roman timelines, some Egyptian, one or two Carthagian, and a couple about Alexander the Great. (As well as some ancient Persian ones). All of these are Pre-Islamic, and therefore butterfly away Islam.
By no Islam timelines I assume you mean timelines that specifically base a POD on either Muhammad not existing or failing to prosetylse? (Or the Rashidun Caliphate strangled in the cradle).
