[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb]Unfortunately ES promotes similar cartoonish efforts under the guise of 'alternate history', but bollocks is bollocks no matter who promotes it to enrich their coffers.[/qb][/QUOTE]"Alternate history" narratives are fictional by design and their authors don't claim them to be anything but. They present speculative "what if" scenarios showing how history could have proceeded differently. A story about how African-American lives would be different had they been fairly compensated for their enslavement in the wake of the Civil War would be an example of an alternate history story. By contrast, what the video in the OP is doing is making claims about how history actually went down, however spurious they may be. Same thing with Clyde Winters's various narratives about Mande Olmecs etc. They want their audience to believe they're telling the truth rather than a fictional narrative. What they promote is more properly called pseudohistory, not alternate history. [/QB][/QUOTE]
