“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.”

It will be hard to do ancient china and ancient anything because we are still learning new stuff about the past everyday! It will be hard to pick out a single Kurzweil in the past. Maybe Da Vinci? I know a lot of Nostradamus' "predictions" can be twisted to include many of today's events. But the people who predicted stuff in the past usually got a lot of it wrong. There are a number of different people you can list who progressed humanity. So maybe have a section entitled "Kurzweil's of the past" or something.
Something you can do is talk about prophecy in general. The people of ancient times really up until the 1800s were so blinded by prophecy and religion, if somebody said something was going to happen in the future and it sounded plausible. They "had" to be right. Then everybody goes crazy trying to either fulfill the prophecy and/or make sure it doesn't happen. Christians today still look forward to heaven and the rapture!
With that being the case, I've always wanted to work on an alternative timeline as well :-) But maybe sliders has already done that one well enough hehe

If this site is about to create a past timeline,wjfox will have to completely reestructure the site and the forum.It's sad that wjfox agreed with that...

I've been thinking about this again.
Here are the sections I want -
- The early Universe
- The young Earth
- The evolution of life
- Early humans
- Ancient history (c. 3350 BCE to c. 500 CE)
- Mediaeval history (c. 500 to 1499)
- Early modern history (1500 to 1899)
- Modern history (1900-present)
I have small suggestion on starting picture on past timeline.
You know that black picture?
http://www.futuretim...se_dark_era.jpg
It was on last entry of future timeline. (Universe is especially dead...)
So picture of first entry on past timeline could be completely white:

There was so much energy in so small space at 10−43 seconds, so that picture is good to show universe at Plancks stage
