Pharaoh left with his chariot army on the sleek Galleons. The settlers chatted happily about the gift to be the first to live on the shores of the Nile.

As they landed, they found that Mali had taken a barbarian city near them, so they did not feel alone in the wild.

The people immediatly went to work building a gold mine for Pharaoh as he has commanded that his burial goods contain a golden coffin.

Maybe you have to change forum style, you may be on 'light' or something, that doesn't show pictures. I think you can change it somewhere in the 5cm from the top-left in the main-forum page and in your control screen.

[dacole]

Odd I didn't change anything and now I can see them *shrug* anyway here you go.

MacAuther looked to his troops "Men" he said "this is the time here we follow up our holy actions in the capital by striking at the heart of the Inca threat. The village of Machu Picchu stands close to our south we will take it and then we shall march on to Boston and liberate our bretherin. The puny horse warriors of the Inca will not be able to stop us!" "To show my love for you and my resolve I shall personally lead you into battle!" A mighty roar went up from the assembeled army as holding his mysterious, some said magic, spear high MacAcuther led his troops toward Machu Picchu. The fighting was fierce. Buddhist swords were met with hindu axes capable of striking through the shields of the Americans. Blood and boddies litered the landscape and the screams of dying men filled the sky. Crows dotted the landscape ripping and fighting among themselves much like the humans they now feasted on had been only minutes before. As he rested on his spear MacArthur felt more than satisfied he felt elated. This elation was only increased when he was told his troops had taken the city.

It was only then that MacAuther realized the Inca had somnehow gotten hold of Bronze or copper. Only then could they have made the axemen he saw in battle but he had been over the maps himself and their was no copper in Incan lands. Who could have committed this atrocity? This henious act of war upon the Americans. MacAuther vowed to find out.

Many battles were fought over this strategicly important gold mineing town. So many that it was later said that you could always tell when Gold had been mined from Machu Picchu since it was always stained with blood. Soon unable to take back the gold city the Inca tried a different tactic. Surrounding Atlanta they cut it off from food and water until the cries of the straving and dehydrating citizens could be heard up and down the west coast. Only then did they attack. Still weak and hungry though they were the newly trained crossbowmen withstood many charges of axemen before falling to the assault. From there mighty sacrifice came the song The night they drove old Atlanta down.

The night they drove Old Atlanta down
all the bells were ringing
the night they drove old atlanta down
all the people were singing they went naaa na na na na.

After the fall of Atlanta Jimmy Carter was working late in his office in the state department when the letter arrived. Taking it from the page's hands he read over it. "It seems the Inca are willing to discuss peace he thought." Taking out a pen he made a few changes on their proposal and then paused. "Do I dare" he thought? "What the monk told me is monstrus if true, but if its not.." Then with a silent prayer to the Buddha he signed MacAuthers name to the document.

(more to come...)

Sinchi Roca and the end of Hinduism

After the American-Incan war Sinchi Roca accepted Buddhism as the official state religion of the Inca. The Hindu faith was officially reckognized as a branch of Buddhism, and therefor accepted, but not encouraged. Many Hindu priests protested against this political change of religion, but after years their voices ceased to be heard.

The Buddhistic population of the Inca was smaller then the Hindu population. But soon the Hindu and the Buddhists saw each others as brothers in their faiths. The Buddhists were known as Atheistic Hindus. The religions merged more and more and various concept crossed the religious border between both faiths. This new faith would soon be known as Hindbuddhism.

It was an atheistic religion, without the believe of gods, but with the believe in higher, but mortal powers. Brahma and Shivu were known as the mortal spirits that ruled the earth beyond the human awareness. They were worshipped and honored. But beyond these mortal spirits, soon to be named 'gods' again, there was no higher power in Hinbuddhism.

The main teaching of Buddhism, that desiring leads to suffering and must therefor be eliminated, became the main doctrine of Hinbuddhism. Through reincarnation mankind would learn more and more to live a life without desiring, to transcent into the eternal everything and nothing, the Nirvanah, eventually.

The message of Hinbuddhism was spread among all Incan cities. Soon Hinbuddhism would become the major state religion of the Inca. The 3 religions, Buddhism, Hinduism and Hinbuddhism soon became to be known as the ancient AmerIncan religions, spread through America, Inca, England and the Zulu.

Because of the 3-fold nature of Hinbuddhism, it became known under the ancient Aum-symbol



Years of peace and rebuilding

After the American-Incan war the Incan cities needed decenia of rebuilding. The enslaved population consisted mostly of only women, since most men died in the war. Slowly Sinchi Roca was able to lead his people back to the ancient civilized civilization it once was.

The cities expanded in size and buildings, the dstroyed farms and mines were rebuild, more jungles were removed and roads were created. The cultural influence of the Inca expanded and peace was made with all surrounding nations.

The dead of Sinchi Roca

Sinchi Roca had grown old. A long, unnatural life was granted to him by Brahma, which helped the Inca to fight back from the ruins of war. But at an uncountable age Sinchi Roca laid in his bed and died.

Lloque Yupanqui, the new Sapa Inca



Sinchi Roca's son, Lloque Yupanqui, became the new Sapa Inca! he besieged the trone of his father in Rho-Cuzco and officially introduced Hinbuddhism as the official state religion of the Inca.

He sent out a message to America, England and Zululand to invite them to discuss the future of Hinduism, Buddhism and Hinbuddhism. He awaited their response.

[Pinchak]

The Zulu/Carthagen war was documented by historians as the most violent conflict to date on Terra.

The war was actually two wars. The first war resulted in limited bloodshed, as the Zulu penetrated deep into Carthagen territory, and threatened to burn the city of Utica unless another Carthagen city was disbanded. In a wise move by the Carthagens, they agreed.

The forced disbandment of the most eastern Carthagen left scars however, and the Carthagens vowed revenge. The Zulu were pleased with the new peace agreement and saw the disbandment as a righting a wrong.

News leaked however to the Zulu that the Carthagens were building a massive army to exact revenge. Shaka, leader of the Zulu, met this threat by once again funding his own large army.

Being well versed in the art of war, Shaka knew that the best defence was a good offence. His army split into two main forces, and invaded the Carthagens once again.

Upon entering Carthagen lands, his suspicions were confirmed. The Carthagens indeed had a large army at the ready.


The first major battle occured at the gates of Ichibi Elinci, the Zulus western most city. The Carthagens were new to seige warfare however, and suffered total and complete loss to a scale never seen on Terra prior. The corpses littered the landscape west of Ichibi Elinci to such extent that the smell could be detected for hundreds of miles.

The Zulu armys pushed further into Carthagen territory, and judging by the combined might of both nations, the Slaughter at Ichibi Elinci as it came to be known was only to be the first of several epic battles.

During the second war, Nelson Mandela awoke from his poison induced coma. Upon being informed of the state of affairs he wept.

A open letter to both warring parties.

Hanz finds the continuation of this war to be very alarming, wasn't the goal of the Zulu to only get rid if that Carthage city on their border in the 1st war? We fear that this 2nd war is not productive at all and may hurt eventually all of Terra, so we plead to both sides to find a peaceful solution and soon.

Hanz leader of the germans.

The Hittites see much wisdom in these words. This conflict could very easily become a terra war.

The Zulus are very close to us relations wise and we are quite friendly with the Carthaginians. Both sides would desire outside help BUT if all outside parties resist providing outside help and INSIST on a peaceful settlement we believe it can be accomplished.

At this stage no Hittite troops have been sent to assist either nation and we ask the same of all other nations.

And that all nations declare the truth about any troops or mercenieries sent to assist thus far.

However the Hittites WILL become involved if war continues to the point of major land loss on either side. We can not have a long running war on our northern borders.

We sincerely believe that common sense will prevail and that a diplomatic solution may be brokered. We suggest a completely neutral nation call for a terra summit where the voice of all nations can be brought to bear.

[Robert]

The Sapa Inca, Lloque Yupanqui, speaks:

Nations of Terra start to speak out about peace.
Peace is such a terrible word. What does peace mean? Without a context it just means the end of war. But the end of war doesn't bring the end of problems. It's not for nothing that nations wage war against each other.

I am hugely horrified by these simplistic callings for peace.
The Inca do enjoy the peace the got the last few centuries, but we do understand that this peace can only exist because there are no problems.
If the Inca cause problems to other nations, then we cannot just simply call for peace, but we must address these problems.

Therefor I call upon the Zulu and the Carthagians to state their problems publicly, so we can address them.
Either the Zulu or the Carthagians apparantly have problems, and I see no other solution to solve this war sitution then by solving the problems.

If the problems can't be solved through diplomacy, then war is another option.
And if it's a problem between only the Zulu and the Carthagians, and neither the Zulu or the Carthagians can find a solution, then a war between the Zulu and the Carthagians is the only way to find peace.

Peace is hardly ever found without war.
I call upon all nations of Terra to stay outside this war, since it is not your war.

Lloque Yupanqui, the Sapa Inca

Hanz agrees fully with the Hittites, if war continues we see no other choice but to pressure both sides for an immediate peace settlement. Maybe if the Hittites agree both Germany and the Hittites can send peace keeping forces to assure that peace is established in those lands. Nothing good can come out from this war.
