Butterfly:timeline

The Butterfly Timeline (stylized as butterfly:timeline and formerly TWK's Tech ATL) is an alternate history worldbuilding project created by TWKofficial. The timeline diverges from the OTL timeline in 476 AD, and "focuses on the niches and quirks" while maintaining accuracy and realism at the same time. 
== Lore ==
=== General ===
The main objective of this timeline is "what if some small deviation somehow changed world history?", thus the title of the timeline, is inspired by a real theory of the Chaos Theory. The timeline also focuses on socioeconomic, cultural, and artistic concerns. The point of divergence comes with the death of Romulus Augustus, and the timeline spans from 395 to 2050. 
== Technology ==
Due to the significant deviations in the timeline, the technology and related industries deviate highly from OTL. Some concepts from OTL were kept but were still changed.
