* 1250 BC 170’000 loyal subjects from 6 cities are here for the coronation of Julius I. He promises to bring peace and order to the kingdom and proclaims he wants to be called Julius the wise. He also acknowledge a little “penchant” for little works of marbles or bronze. More on that later on.
* 1200 BC To justify his nickname King Julius wisely listened to the words of Emperor Augustus, born about 1200 years after him. Yes King Julius the Wise sometimes foresees the future and sometimes he doesn’t see the present. A praiseful king indeed. Augustus had written just before he died, so that you could trust him to be serious, that one should not expend the empire too much or it would fall. Julius agreed and decided to brought back the archer to West Point. We’re not here to fight, but to enlighten the word with our culture and our science, he told his at first bemused subject. And then he chose to research Bronze Working, for he wished to build the Colossus as a testimony to his immortal words.
* 1150 On the southern edge of the main continent, 50 pieces of gold were found in a hut by some bold horsemen. Few were those who overjoyed on the news, but King Julius undestood it was a message from the Gods. He was right to pursue the road to money and trade. Otherwise, the gods would have sent an useless archer ! That was when the first little statues were erected by the most faithful subjects in honor of King Julius.
* 1050 Discovery of Bronze Working. The last horsemen head back to a populated area. The frontiers (limes) of the kingdom are now clearly drawn. West Point starts building a library, the first in a vast plain of scientifical progress.
*1000 BC Distant Shore has been assigned as the only “uncultural” city of the kingdom. One mighty warrior from the relocated trireme steps up on the almost unknown southern island. There is a hut and scrolls of wisdom. It’s the Currency. The king had a vision and his vision was right. Numerous manifestations of worship blossom all through the kingdom.. The people double their efforts to build the oversized statue of their King in Perfect City. Confirmed in his vision by the Gods themselves, King Julius the Wise chooses Trade as the next wisdom to be studied. And boldly, he decides to transform some silk around Perfect City into wheat to allow the city to grow. It was against the book, but blessed by the Gods, Julius the Wise cannot be and is not wrong.
* The next years passed peacefully, humbly and clearly as the path chosen was wise and understood by all the subjects. No wars were fought and cities growed slowly. A new island was discovered in the south. No more unwise expansion had deciced the King, but we shall search for our neighbors to share with them the knowledge that we only are the true children of the Gods. Not that it would please them !
* 825 BC King Julius was getting old and growing impatient to let his mark in the History with a huge “H”. His people decided to found the city of Julianopolis in a perfect 4 square emplacement to honor him, but it was not enough. He felt his end was near and decided to rushbuild his great work, the Colossus. Ruining the kingdom’s treasury, but fullfilling his dream of immortality.
* In 800 BC, the Colossus was build in Perfect City and, his heart at least at peace, King Julius the Wise died in 775 BC... of an heart attack, of course. His last decision, after the discovery of Trade, had been to research Literacy. What a fitting testimony of his lasting vision of a world of peace, litterature and trade. Everywhere all through the kingdom, 230’000 people of 7 cities wept in front of little marble statues of the beloved king. And every year, on november 29th, the day of his death, there is a pilgrimage and gifts are place at the feet of his big statue in Perfect City. May our noble leader have been right and may the Gods forever bless our kingdom he so wisely ruled.

Finished my 10 turns and forwarded to kcbob.Sure goes by quick.
Smashazuma’s first act upon his return was to call all Governers to the capitol.He demanded explanations.Since his departure on the Great Crusade only 4 new cities had been founded.He was dismayed by this and wanted answers.
And what was this new governent?Had not the Gods appointed HE as the leader?
“Have you forgotten the Gods???They must be appeased.YOU have brought their anger upon us!!!Allready we are threatened by foreign infidels.Soon they will arrive.And what shall we defend ourselves with?Without the Gods,we must surely perish at the hands of barbarians.
You are hereby ordered to return to your lands of control and immediately undertake appeasement of the Gods.You will do this in the Aztec way.It is the only way.
NOW GO!!!”
This seemed to work at first as it appeared appeasement had been won and much celebrating took place.However this was shortlived as population grew to the point the the mother earth could no longer sustain it.This was caused by the citzens celebrating instead of working their feilds of maze.We had become, once again, the largest nation.
It was decided that new settlement would be the top priority.Malinalco,Tula,Tamuin and East Lake were established.The latter actually being in the west following some bizarre ancient ritual.A distant tribe was assimilated into the growing empire and named Teayo
It was also decided that only by a return to 1 leader could the God’s praise be re-established.And so,in 60 AD,Smashazuma was reinstalled as sole power.The governers were sacrificed unto the Sun God.
Soon after, all the foreign infidel peoples declared war on the Aztec nation.The so called allied Babylonians immediately abandoned their commitment fulfilling Smashazuma’s fear of non God appeasement.He was able to contain the aggression with some skillful diplomacy however the Germans remained steadfast in their desire to rid the earth of our worthless civilization.
The Russians had begun a great observatory which threatened Smashazuma’s dream of great center of high thought.
In a somewhat incoherent speech,given on the steps of the palace itself,Smashazuma muttered something about size 5,size 5 and once again departed for lands unknown.This left the empire in a rather unstable situation.He had failed to appoint someone to sit in power during his absence.

I asked a guy who sits beside me at work if he'd heard of it and the origin and here is his explanation.
