JEWISH ROMAN EMPIRE!
I almost wrote "Result: Jews rule the world!" Nice....
JEWISH ROMAN EMPIRE!
Turning Point
A microscopic peice of dust collects milimeters to the right of where it was IOTL.
Leading to; Earth fails to form in it's OTL shape, becames just another rogue planet, screwing with her planetary neighbors. *Mars/Venus/Theia becomes the dominant life supporting planet in the solar system. (and then Al Gore wins the 2000 elections)
I was under the belief the Siberian traps had something to do with it...
But on this Gamma Ray/Extinction topic, The Cambrian explosion fails to subsist producing competing *vertabrates which eliminate our very fish ancestors.
Or, best idea yet!:

PoD: The Minoan eruption of Thera never happened.
Result: No Fall of the Minoan civilization. No Atlantis myth. No conquest of Crete by the Mycenaeans. No rise of the Greek civilization...
But Atlantis did exist!![]()
Sorry, but according to modern archaeologists and historians Platon's Atlantis was the city of Thera on the slopes of the volcano of the same name, which was completely destroyed in the Minoan Eruption.
No Minoan Eruption means that the myth and legend of Atlantis would never have been written, because the fall of Atlantis did not happen.
Event:?
Result: No Big Bang
And without the myth no Atlantis. As far as it can be reconstructed the Greek Atlantis myth is based on an egyptian report about the Minoan eruption.Sure. But the Atlantis everyone wants to believe he was writing about isn't effected, right? Its not as if it existed anyway. So technically, only the myth/legend is prevented.
They could conquer Crete (and the rest of the minoan 'empire') because the minoan eruption had severly weakened the minoans. If the minoans stay the dominant power in that region, the mycenaeans (and thus the other greek people) will never become dominant in the region.Mycenaean civilization wouldn't go away because they didn't conquer Crete. At least I don't think the conquest of the Minoans is necessary for their survival.
