What if a significant Samaritan diaspora population managed to survive up to the present day roughly paralleling the OTL Jewish diaspora in reach (if not in numbers)?
How could this be accomplished in a plausible manner with a POD of either during the Roman-Jewish Wars or during one of the Samaritan Revolts and what other effects would a Samaritan diaspora have on history up to the present?
Would also be interesting to speculate how the ATL Samaritan diaspora fares in places like Europe compared to the Jewish diaspora or possibly further out (in South Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, etc).
