@BellaGerant Well as far till now,I have never ever posted anything 'wrong' while discussing Central Asia(point out to me one post where I said anything wrong in Private,I will agree). We have been discussing Caucasus,Fertile Crescent and Central Asia about various spread of civilizations and peoples with my friend
@Freedom2018 as well. I don't remember a single instance of me posting something objectionable in this regard. Well,as far as Sub Saharan Africa is concerned,I didn't know too much about West and South Africa and the only parts of SSA I was familiar were Ethiopia and Nubia. Also,are you aware of how many ethnocides took place in Central Asia and wiped out many Iranian Ethnicities who inhabited the Northern India and Central Asia and the Tocharians?
Okay care to elaborate on that ?
Coming to this,since Western Europe was at the spearhead of the Renaissance due to various factors discussed previously,in this ATL,the age of enlightenment and the Scientific developments hit faster compared to OTL. I could attribute that to a couple of PODs which would be smaller but more revolutionizing for Science and that would bring many new advancements of which Solar Energy is one. Now,empowered by that zeal,the Western European Empires venture out to bring it to different other civilizations and create a strong and unified society. That would be an alternate timeline of Western European expansion. We can put any other ethnicity as a replacement in an ATL where it would be feasible. Since Iran and Central Asia had been crippled after various invasions starting from Huns,Western Europe would be the most stable part in a timeline like this. While we can make an another timeline where the superstars of our past discussion,the Tocharians,Indo-Iranians and the Fertile Crescenters are dominant,let's end this here as I think it this thread is just doing rounds.
