Across the Seas

POD: In 1547 BC Pharoah Ahmose I decided to expand the empire to an incredible size. So he sent his most trusted Captain, Tala-Ra and 3 ships to sail to the far western lands. Little did he know it, but Tala-Ra would change the course of history

The Greatest Voyage
Tala-Ra left Egypt as a young man and he knew that it was likely none of his crew would ever return. After several months his ship, known as the New Dawn landed at a site near OTL Alicante. They stayed there for two years and founded a colony known as Hares. In Spring 1545 BC he sent the smallest ship, Eye of Ra, back to Egypt to inform the Pharaoh of the discovery, unfortunately they would never make it back home, due to the ship sinking of the coast of OTL Libya. The final ship, Silver Giant, and its crew stayed at Hares to oversee its development. Meanwhile, the New Dawn continued going southsouth until they reached OTL Morocco, but the native Berbers were hostile so they continued going west. It took three years to sight land, but eventually in September 1542 BC the Golden Dawn landed just off the coast of OTL Delaware. There, calling themselves 'Thebians' (after the capital city of Egypt) they established a great city which they named Thebe. For Captain Tala-Ra and his crew, the greatest voyage was over

A Great Empire
Overtime, Thebe grew in power and prestige and a considerable portion of OTL Northeast America was controlled by the 'Thebians'. Tala-Ra became the first King of Thebe, taking the regal name of Thalan I.
