A TL I want to do some day has the POD of Sin-iddina-apla, older brother of Ashurbanipal and original crown prince of Assyria, not dying. My goal is obviously to wank the Neo-Assyrian Empire, because who doesn't love the Assyrians?
Those people didn't have Internet access, so their opinions don't count.The people they brutally killed or enslaved ?

I'm currently busy with Real Life and a Roman TL, so it will probably be posted around the year 2045. And then the AIs will rule the world and they will commandeer this forum for the purpose of rewriting history with a revisionist pro-robot agenda.I'm waiting for that TL.
Agreed; I once had an [abortive] TL titled "Urukagina's Empire" (or maybe something similar). I forgot the exact device I used but somehow I made it so that an ATL Urukagina became namlugal (emperor) of the area instead of Sargon the Great. In any case, a PoD with Sargon failing to conquer Mesopotamia (and beyond) but instead having a Sumerian taking his place would be very interesting.To wank Sumer might be a good timeline.
A POD that far back would change world history.

Oh, I just had a great idea: What about the Elamites dominating the Mesopotamian Peoples, instead of the other way around? The effects of the Elamites' matriarchal religion on later religions, such as the ATL equivalents of Zoroastrianism, Judaism and onward, would probably be especially dramatic.
