    Vignette: Whose Pyramid is this Anyway?

    This is very good. Both the narrative and the hints of a very different world thanks to Celtic migrations towards Egypt. Alarmingly (for me), the ending postscript has some very strong parallels to the competition vignette I've just posted. I hope @Sideways (and indeed @sidewasy) will trust...

    Things that look like alternate history but aren't

    My dad's grammar school in County Durham, for one. They had a teacher called Mr Jefferson, always referred to as Jumbo. Sixty years on, if dad (who also recalls having a coonskin cap as a younger child) mentions him in any context at all, he breaks into a swift chorus of "Jumbo, Jumbo Jefferson...

    The Trial of the Raj: The Impeachment of Warren Hastings

    A fascinating article. I agree, sadly, that it's almost impossible for Hastings to be found guilty without much bigger changes. Even if George III dies early, it feels like there's too much in the domestic political scene preventing a successful prosecution.

    Incredibly pat historical occurrences

    Whether this is pat, or just shows how powerful families tend to crop up, might be in the eye of the reader, but... Vladimir Ulyanov, aka Lenin, had his nascent educational prospects torpedoed by his brother Aleksandr being arrested and executed for revolutionary activity (being a leading...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Here's an example from the US Army. It had been a page for the History of the Philippine Scouts. It was now something about Trump and the border being strengthened, with this across the top.

    Alternate History General Discussion

    It's something to do with the USN, from the looks of it. So deliberate destruction by Musk et al. Didn't follow the whole thing: it was within a timeline in the old country.

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Those in the battleship fraternity, especially in the USN and Pacific War chapters, are expressing concern that some of the online archives they've used in their writing are being removed from existence.

    There doesn't actually have to be a stable one. They could all have been comprehensively messed up, just in different ways. I'm not an expert on the Kennedy clan, but that's my take.

    How early a functional nuclear weapon could have been produced?

    Where do the potato peelers come in? On a more serious point, even if the conceptual and/or technological breakthroughs come earlier, is anybody going to throw the human, scientific, energy and financial resources into the development to get there much before OTL? @The Red gives one potential...
