The Flag of Odin

I have yet to see a timeline inspired by a change in a divine revelation. But I suppose you raise a valid point. Seems to me I can manipulate any past character with divine intervention claims though. That's a flood gate.
Humans can induce vision through the use of psychotropic drugs or other means.Whether thees are a connetion to the divine a matter of theological debate.

A TL premise is I found interesting is to have a Hindu pundit travel to the Roman Empire and ending up in Germany. He believes there is a connection between the Teutonic Aesir and Vanir and the Hindu Deva and Asura. Working with the Teutonic priesthood they develop a syncretic religion based on the Teutonic pantheon with Hindu elements. Being literate he works with Teutonic priests to create religious texts detailing beliefs and practices. The existence of an organized priesthood and consistent religious dogma allows for successful resistance to Christian proselytizing.

Aethulf has led successful raiding and rebellions in Roman territory he has realized that all knowledge that Rome had was now his, though it would be destroyed easily. He erects temples up everywhere and focuses on consolidating his empire, but he realizes that it is to large, so he splits it into the 4 empires of Woden who all have a first among equals who has higher rule then all of them but other than that they are autonomous, so much that when he dies, they will al go to war with each other. He focuses on replicating and increasing the knowledge of Rome.

August 18, 409 Aethulf has died and the Western Roman Empire is barely holding on with only Spain Italy and Sicily. Another great round of pagan jew and Arian persecutions begins in the Roman empire. They have lost the City of Rome to The Empire of Aethulf and have renamed their capital to the city of Carthage which may soon fall to an organized Berber invasion.

October 12, 432 Most of the Italian peninsula has been taken over by the Saxon Empire a successor state to the Empire of Aethulf. The Huns from a large empire and the Byzantines annex their Sassanid vassal state. The Berbers form an empire in west africa, while the Scandian Empire and the empire of Angle-Land split iceland half half.

Bob, I think this is all happening a bit too fast. It is worth noting that Iceland wasn't regularly contacted by Europeans until at least the 6th century. Scandinavians didn't have the technology to get there till the 8th century, and it was a bit later before they actually arrived.

But more importantly, empires don't just "appear", they are complicated institutional structures based on governmental technology that doesn't just appear from nothing.
 
This timeline doesn’t make any sense.No way Julian would have the Germanics Hispania or anorth Africa.North Africa was an important breadbasket.
 
ok i geuss not i want to try a different tl where the greeks are taken over by the persians but the instead of stamping out greek culture and science sponsor it and greek religion. This results in integration of the greeks into persia and results in the start of the helleno-persian age.
