Ok so it's been awhile since I wrote any kind of alternate history, but here are some ideas I had for some POD's for timelines:
1. Persia Conquers Greece: I've read a lot of speculation on this site and others that the Persians would never have been able to hold down the Greeks, but... I thought it would be interesting.
2. Jesus Christ is Stillborn: This one I thought would be particularly interesting. I've seen a lot of material on the internet about alternate lives for Jesus, but nothing about him actually not having been there at all.
3. Alexander the Great is Born a Woman: What would the world be like if Alexander the Great wasn't... Alexander the Great? Would she still have been able to influence the world, or would she have disappeared into the pages of history?
4. Modern Humans Evolve in Asia: I've read that there is some conjecture over where Homo erectus evolved. So, how different would the world be if we came from Asia, and not Africa?
5. Messinian Salinity Crisis Never Ends: I don't know if you guys are familiar with it but... basically Africa merged with Iberia for almost a million years, and nobody is exactly sure how they became separated again. So, what if they had stayed connected? I imagine the world would be pretty different.
