In this timeline, many world-changing people and events will not influence the world. With the conquering of the entire Middle East, Judaism is suppressed and decimated, with pockets escaping to Europe. With the murdering of Jesus Christ in the Burning of Judea, Christianity will not be created. Islam will still take hold, and will become a major factor in Akkadian politics for centuries to come. However, traditional Sumerian religion will still remain the official government religion. By 2013, Akkad is one of two political superpowers in the world, along with the Second Roman Republic.
