''Lands of Red and Gold'' ( http://www.alternatehistory.com/decadesofdarkness/ ) is an ongoing work of [[Alternate History]] by Jared, also the author of ''[[Decades of Darkness]]'', and posted on [[
The timeline starts several millennia ago, when a tribe of Australian aborigines begins to domesticate a local crop called the red yam (''Dioscorea chelidonius'') in the Murray River basin. This results in the development of a sedentary culture based on irrigated agriculture and the raising of waterfowl. Gradually, the knowledge of agriculture spreads to neighboring tribes, and by 2500 BCE a genuine civilization emerges, complete with cities, complex social structures, and centralized political rule.
