** [[All There in the Manual|The Secret Blueprints]] states that the divergence point was the development of science itself - in our timeline, it was a series of itinerant hiccups until the Industrial Revolution; Hero of Alexandria's steam engine was suppressed by conquerors who didn't want to give up slaves, Leonardo da Vinci's work was suppressed by an ignorance-enforcing Church with the power to burn people alive and claim their possessions. In the GG verse, the instant SCIENCE was discovered, Sparks seized power from warlords and demagogues. |

** The storyline moving to Britain has revealed that "Her Undying Majesty" Queen Albia not only has ruled for centuries but is apparently one of the last few survivors of a group of goddess-queens. [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180720#.W3dL785Khph Even '''before''' they rose to power], there were ancient [[Cool Gate]]s referred to as "mirrors," which the queens began using as a communication network. The references seem to contradict what's said in The Secret Blueprints as cited above. |
