i need a new PoD

:confused:

What's that?
It's a pre-medieval PoD idea. What? Not every pre-Medieval TL has to take place in bloody Eurasia. Although my PoD could use a bit more detail, I suppose. And perhaps K'an T'ulna is not the best battle to change the course of the war at. But if Lightning That Clears The Sky wins as he did OTL, the Kingdom of the Snake is in grave danger.

TLs can be an impetus to learn and research areas you don't know however.
Yeah, but I find the thought of people writing TL about things they clearly know nothing about to be annoying and sometimes offensive if it's bad enough.

Jacob the blacksmith stubs his toe in 44 CE. (Friday July 3rd at 3:00PM to be exact.;))
Then the Theudas Revolt in Judea will be delayed, and by the time this blacksmith recovers well enough to fix their weapons they might start the revolt at a better time, leading to a Judea free of Roman rule for a time, and Theudas might be the one who is considered the Messiah to this day, changing the Abrahamic religions forever. And yes, I did spend a few minutes looking this stuff up just so I could post a ludicrously detailed response to a joke PoD in the vain hope somebody out there might get a few chuckles out of it.

You are aware there is a world outside of Europe, right? :p
 
The Battle of Brunanburh is won by Scots, Norse and people from Strathclyde against the Anglo Saxons thus setting Britain on a course totally different from OTL.

I know, but sadly my knowledge is a bit Euro-centric :D
Truth is I specialized myself in European history as I don't know much in the other continents' history. Plus, I find European history more fun but that's my own opinion.

On a side note, can you really consider the first POD I mentionned (the survival of Alexander the Great) as Europe? Alexander's Empire was mostly composed by the Middle East :p
