Board Thread:Timeline Discussions/@comment-5789047-20141123195327

I was thinking of making a timeline and naming it something along the line of "Box of Crayons" due to the fact that there are going to be a variety of PODs. As the amount of PODs are going to be various yet plausible and I'd like at least the whole of the modern world completely fleshed-out I'm asking for help in the creation of a timeline including the following differences to OTL:

1. Alexander the Great's son inherits the empire but dies around 25 in battle with no heir, resulting in the Alexandrian Empire lasting about 25 years longer, making the connections between Greek and Indian cultures a little stronger than OTL.

2. Carthage barely manages to win the 2nd Punic War with minor land cessions by the Roman Empire.

3. Islam is restricted to Africa, Arabia proper, Egypt, Sumatra, Aceh, and the Levant. North Africa (except for Egypt) manages to remain some sort of Christian, and Central Asia and most of Persia remain Zoroastrian. Ethiopia and much of Sub-Saharn Africa become Muslim, and Christian Moors have less luck than OTL Muslim Moors in spreading religion to Sub-Saharans.

4. Buddhism has greater influence in India and stays prevelant in the northern regions.

5. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese explore more and are more imperialistic, and have some influence in the South Pacific and parts of Indonesia.

6. The permanent Viking colonization of Greenland is succesful and the Viking slowly and steadily manage to colonize parts of Canada.

7. Great Britain is unified far later, and Spain doesn't unify.

8. Catharism becomes far more popular and spreads throughout France, Iberia, and Northern Africa until the Catholic Church basically negotiates a compromise with the Cathars and as a result there would possibly be several crippling wars in Europe and a more gnostic and egalitarian Catholic Church.

I'm not sure I have the time, will, or knowledge to make this TL completely on my own, so it probably won't be done if nobody thinks it's interesting enough to help me with or just give opinions on.
