I guess I'd pretend to be an exiled nobleman from the HRE or something. Would walk to Dumbarton and pledge my allegiance to the King or something.

Early medieval cologne is like the most civilized place I could be in western europe.
As the people will speak an archaic ripuarian dialect I will have to learn my mothertongue again.
At least that wont arouse suspicion as I will be marked a foreigner but my theyll just think I come from some distant village.
My long hair wont be all too out of place.

My skills are few and not usuable in this time so ill have to beg and it will be assumed I am a runaway serv who used to get the right to citizenship if noone catched them and I survive three years of my own.

As a fedorah I better learn some prayers quickly so I can repay people for my beggary as this was the way it went at that time.
Also can witness some creepy catholic boneworship.

If I dont die from isolation or illness I may find work at a guild if not im ded.

>>1704925
I have to wait fucking 472 years before Europeans discover the Cape. FML. Just Khoi and San tribal dudes around. I would probably try to trek north along the west coast of Africa, trying to reach Benin. If I can get a guide or party of followers along the way then that would be fantastic. I would go through Kongo as quickly as possible and try to get to Benin, then from there navigate from trade city to trade city, surviving on the land and on whatever I can scrounge together for being an exotic white weirdo. My objective would be to try to get to Timbuktu, and from there go via caravan through the Sahara into Morocco, and then try to cross to Sicily, and from there to Rome. In Rome (and anywhere it seems useful along the way, for that matter), I would use my training as an engineer to try to find work, and try to amass a decent reputation and try to live comfortably. I would, once I'm rich enough, move to Sicily (or depending on circumstance, never leave Sicily), and there I would invent premodern firearms. Then I would become ludicrously wealthy and found a prestigious family of gunsmiths.

This is assuming I don't get murdered/sold into slavery somewhere along the way of course, and assuming the Norman conquest of Sicily happens before I move there. Otherwise I would find somewhere else with easy access to sulfur for inventing firearms.

Alternatively, I would trek up the East coast of Africa, which would require going through the fairly volatile Mozambique region, but would allow me to get to fairly civilised cities fairly quickly. The only issue is the tradition of slavery in those parts. Nonetheless, I would attempt a trek north along the coast, visiting each of the eastern kingdoms in turn, before trekking down the Nile past Cairo to Alexandria, then try to get from there to Constantinople, and repeat the plan of working as an engineer and then gunsmith.

These are good rules, otherwise it gets boring. It might also be good to add survival gear and food to last you some set amount of time (a month?), after which it disappears.

Sit in a field, wander down the hill into town, take a few photos of the castle that's now actually visible; get mobbed by serfs and probably lynched. Lynching notwithstanding I put my incredible skills (i.e. reading, writing and a university level education) to good use serving a local earl and become court wizard.

With my 21st century mindset?

Go up north to and try to find Civitas Moldavensis.

Get to know the local german iron miners and start working there for a living. Make a house, find a wife. After a while i get into the iron ore business and establish myself as a wealthy merchant. Try to gain influence into the politics of the city, then take over it's rule. Start to conquer the regions of the north one by one from the slavs and tatars.

And finally, establish the kingdom of Moldova 200 years earlier

>>1704925
I'd be living in some Saxon lord's castled village in the eastern part of the Duchy of Saxony (pretty rural), within the HRE. This area wouldn't become 'important' for still a couple hundred more years, so I'm not sure what I'd do. I guess my literacy would be valuable, but then again I'm an Anglo living here... While my modern German's OK, I'm sure old German would be nearly incomprehensible.

I'd have to relearn some prayers and shit. I'm a decent cook, so maybe I'd open a tavern or guesthouse or brewery or something. Maybe I'd become a doctor, since by standards of the time I'm a walking encyclopedia.

A half english half egyptian man in the Welsh valleys. I think I'm probably fucked? I'd try and blend in as some sort of distant trader who got lost. But yeah doubt they'd let a brown guy wander around for too long.

>>1705023
I think you just forgot to kill yourself

>>1705439
Nah dude. You'd be a curiosity at the time. An exotic stranger with strange knowledge.

I think you'd be fine.

Chances are in space and suffocating, then death after few seconds.

If on earth, chances are either under a rock/mountain or part of the forest tree.

If somehow I'm still alive, I'll try look for the nearest point of civilization, but before I find that, I would probably be freezing my ass off and dying from hunter/thirst.

If for some reason, I make it to the hint of civilization, I just have to hope the natives don't kill me on sight. If they still let me live, I'd either die from diseases or the natives will die from the disease slowly. If they don't bring the witch hunt, I'd live on. If they do, then I'm dead.

>>1704925

I journey west to the greater Mississipi basin and I build a community with people who I teach about a settled way of life and early industrialization, mathematics and the scientific method. When it became strong enough, we would forge an empire along the Mississippi river network.

The civilized tribes won't be coming over for like 800 years, so I think the nearest tribe would be early comanche sorts of people. I'd travel southwest in hopes of finding them. If I do, learn agriculture and language from them, attempt to integrate on some level. It sounds unlikely and hellish.

Pretty much the exact same here, I'm probably fucked. Pretty sure there weren't any Comanche in 1016, though, and similar plains tribes weren't in TX/OK until the 18th century (horses changed everything for them). I have no idea which tribes, if any, were around these parts in the 11th century, but yeah, we're fucked.

>>1705616
Oh shit, I forgot all about the introduction of the horse leading to a bunch of weird voluntary migrations, before we ever crossed the Mississipli in large numbers.

If I recall from my Oklahoma history class, Oklahoma & border areas, especially around the red river, were very fertile and populous at one point, but some climatic change dried the region up heavily and almost everybody left. I have no idea of the timeframe though.

We're probably just fucked. I guess I could try to navigate one of our tributaries to the Mississippi down until I find a decent tribe.

>>1704925

Well, I'd probably have to find a group of pre-American tribals to live with. Which groups of most likely to be non-hostile and how do I identify them?

>>1705606

Also in Oklahoma. Probably I'd travel east to see the Mississippian culture, then I'd go south and see some Mesoamerican cultures. Then I'd probably end up as a human sacrifice or something.

Actually learning from this thread. Northeast Florida has been inhabited since at least 2500 BC.

"The area has yielded some of the oldest known pottery from what is now the United States, uncovered by a University of North Florida team on Black Hammock Island in Jacksonville, Florida's Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve.[3]"

"Around AD 1000 peoples of the area were engaged in long-distance trading with Mississippian culture centers, including Cahokia (in present-day Illinois) and Macon, Georgia.[6]"

I'll assume I'm with my Euro ancestors, because getting fucked by natives doesn't sound good. I'm sort of a mutt, with Dutch, English, and Frech heritage. There's probably more shit in there, but that's all I know off the top of my head. I'll be assuming that I can speak the language of the locals.

>the Netherlands
I'm clueless as to what was happening here in this period. As far as I know, Dutch was little more than a dialect of German at this point. I have very few skills that would be practical in this era, so I'd probably have to make my way as a bard-poet, travelling the HRE. Once I had a stable income and familiarity with the culture and ways of life of these people, I think I'd begin some sort of treatise on just government or maybe the issues with Catholic conduct, perhaps jump starting the reformation. I only say this, because I am ignorant of the geopolitical state of the Reich. It seems the easiest way to survive and make a name for myself, due to my lack of practical skills.

>England
I'd probably use what little knowledge of military practices I have to prepare the kingdoms for the Danish and Norman invasions, but this could only be done if I was able to worm my way into one of the Royal courts. I'm unsure of how feasible this would be.

>France
Same situation as Netherlands/Germany. Perhaps I could publish The Death of Arthur early.

I have no useful skills to contribute, maybe they would let me live on the fringe of their society as a crazed hermit. Native Americans were actually ok with the occasional whitey joining their tribe.

>>1704925
Build myself a reed house with my Ohlone/Costanoan people. I can do art, so maybe I can draw out their histories and religious stuff. They passed down stories orally so I think my skills would be useful.

I try to ingratiate myself with the nearest Native American civilization (preferably one that doesn't practice human sacrifice). I try to bring simple technological improvements to them, and eventually introduce writing. Hopefully I could find groups of scholars among them so that I could espouse scientific method. In time I would introduce the practice of vaccination and warn them about the danger of illnesses from overseas.
