  1. The earliest evidence for runes is the Meldorf brooch, dated around 50 AD. So no runes for the Cimbri. Petroglyph production declined sharply after 600 BC and it is really difficult to date a petroglyph. Furthermore, there is not a large quantity of petroglyphs in Denmark. Those were mostly found in Sweden and Norway. I would avoid petroglyphs for the Cimbri. It looks a lot like a boat burial, when a person is buried with a boat. Which is not attested for this period. The sinking of the Hjortspring boat is more probably a votive deposit, an offering to deities, from a war booty or a trophy. Furthermore, you choose a very small boat and you emphasize much more on the stone circle. Which is a bit problematic because the boat is probably the most important part.

  5. Are you sure there is evidence of their usage by Northern Indians? Bactrian camels were used by the Achaemenid Persians and by the Indo-Scythian kingdom for war, but not in a great scale. And it doesn't seem the Greeks of Bactria used it for war, only for logistics. I think the first to introduce its use for war in Indian regions are nomads (Indo-Scythians and Kushans).
  6. I think these are artistic interpretations, not faithful reconstructions, but you can use them for your mod. I don't think so. Not before the Pratihara dynasty.

  8. All illustrations depict the same event: Sanghamitta's arrival in Sri Lanka and the transport of the Bodhi Tree. This is a myth that is still very important today for some people, so one should not expect the illustrations to accurately represent historical reality. It should also be remembered that these representations have a nationalistic character. Sri Lanka is divided into two populations that are in conflict, one Buddhist and the other Hindu or Muslim. There is a Sinhalese artist called Prasanna Weerakkody who made some historical illustrations, some of them have been used already by 0AD team to modelize the ships. However, you should note that the event from Sri Lanka are not connected to the Mauryan empire:

  12. The Seleucid Empire emerged as one of the largest successor states to Alexander the Great's conquests, playing a pivotal role in disseminating Hellenistic culture across the Near East and beyond. Founded in 312 BC by Seleucus I Nicator, it initially spanned from Thrace and Anatolia in the west to the Indus Valley in the east, though eastern territories were soon ceded to local powers like the Mauryan Empire. At its height under Antiochus III (r. 222–187 BC), it encompassed the eastern Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and parts of Iran and Central Asia. The Seleucids governed a multicultural populace through a formidable military - featuring innovative units such as Indian war elephants for shock tactics and heavily armored cataphract cavalry - alongside claims of divine kingship and the establishment of Greek-influenced cities, such as Antioch-on-the-Orontes, which evolved into a vibrant cultural hub. However, the empire grappled with internal dynastic conflicts, protracted wars against the Ptolemaic Kingdom (the Syrian Wars), and challenges in administering remote provinces. By the mid-third century BC, regions like Bactria (c. 250 BC) and Parthia (c. 247 BC) seceded, initiating gradual fragmentation. A major setback came with defeat by Rome at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, followed by the Treaty of Apamea (188 BC), which stripped away western Anatolian holdings and imposed heavy indemnities. Persistent civil strife, rebellions (including the Maccabean Revolt, 167–160 BC), and incursions from Parthia and Armenia further diminished its power, culminating in Roman annexation of the remaining Syrian core in 64 BC by Pompey. Despite its eventual collapse, the Seleucid Empire endured for nearly 250 years and left an enduring legacy by blending Greek and Near Eastern traditions, influencing art, governance, and trade routes that shaped the Hellenistic and subsequent eras.
  13. If I can provide a longer summary, I would suggest this: Ancient Athens rose to imperial power in the mid-fifth century BC after the Persian Wars by transforming the Delian League into the Athenian empire. This empire, which dominated the Aegean through tribute and naval supremacy, collapsed in 404 BC at the end of the Peloponnesian War. Athens later regained some influence in the fourth century BC through the Second Athenian League (378–355 BC) and remained a leading city-state. However, it lost its political independence after the defeat at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, when Philip II of Macedon imposed the League of Corinth upon Greece. Although Athens subsequently attempted to recover its autonomy -most notably during the Lamian War (323–322 BC), the Chremonidean War (267–261 BC), and its revolt in the First Mithridatic War (88–86 BC) - all efforts failed. The city never regained full sovereignty and eventually became a Roman protectorate.

  15. Not really, the dating of such structures is clearly falling in the Holocene. They are dating the underwater structures thanks to the dating of the environmental changes, notably a marine transgression in the case of Britanny. 1797401694_Fouquetetal_2025_IJNA.pdf It is not undermining the consideration we have for them. It is simply a description of their lifestyle. Using another label requires proving they are not hunter-gatherers.
  16. I don't see why it should be unbelievable. It looks similar to the Blinkerwall structures in the Baltic Sea which was mostly used to trap animals. Also the idea that hunter-gatherers were unable to build massive structure should be revised. See the Carnac stones for example.
