Alternate History Scenario
What if history took one different turn? A ripple-effect scenario with three divergence points.

Build an alternate history scenario: the divergence point is [EVENT, e.g. the Library of Alexandria never burns]. Show me: 1) THE DIVERGENCE — the moment, in one vivid paragraph, 2) THREE RIPPLES — second and third-order consequences across the next 200 years (technology, culture, politics), 3) THE PRESENT DAY of that timeline — what does daily life look like?, 4) One surviving artifact or custom from our timeline that would baffle them. Plausible chain of cause and effect — no magic, just history compounding. About 500 words.
