Hi everyody!!! In Alternative History Wikia I'm exploring the idea of creating an ATL based on the Islamic Golden Age (or similar period). I suspect this idea is an old one on this site. If it was discussed before, please direct me to the appropriate links.
My rough ideas are:
1) idea is to have make it more plausible and realistic then The Years of Rice and Salt (the book is too ASB in my opinion), no teleological process, nor too similar with events our OTL.
2) It would be centered around Islamic countries or written from the view point of an Islamic narrator (Arab, Persian, Turk or other). World powers or major colonial nations could perhaps be China and one or several Islamic Nations and one in Africa. Europe would exist, but having minor role. America would be colonized by China and Islamic country. Not sure if native American civilizations could survive in some form (as vassal or independent states).
