Ohh baby.. now that gives me some ideas, maybe they took to the
stars and 'reclaimed' their heritage. Ohh, the fun that could be had
with
that, 'Viking' marauders in 'longboats' plundering up and down the
border of
the more 'civilised' (in their opinion) empires. I can hear a beer and
pretzels session coming on...... maybe I can get some horns for my
ships. :)
Or you could do an 'alternate timeline' thing, out of interest,
do
many people use alternate histories? You know, the Egyptian's, facing
off
against the Roman Empire or something. About the only history I
remember
comes from Asterix and Obelix, been a long time since I did history.
