I'm in a territory inhabited by the mound builder culture. I go to work building temporary shelter and scouting the swamp, cataloguing the native factions. I build some weapons with my advanced knowledge and personally defeat the weakest faction with bows, swords, and makeshift bombs. I force the survivors into a small army of slaves, and then go to work on the next most powerful tribe. When I have enough slaves, I'll be able to build even better weapons for myself and my human shields. I soon take over all of Louisiana as the dreaded White god-emporer and found New Orleans as a toiling city of slaves moved by my godlike will as the natives outlive their usefulness as anything other but chattel.

I greet La Salle and offer myself as the first proprietor of New France

Quickly go to the nearest French fur trading outpost if I survive long enough to find it, then find a way to get a ship to bring me all the way up the St. Lawrence River, beeline southeast across the Atlantocc, round the Cape of Good Hope, and arrive at a port city on the Indus delta

Then I conquer the region

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_gods

White gods is the belief that ancient cultures around the world were visited by Caucasian races in ancient times, and that they were known as "White gods".

It is claimed by some authors that white missionaries or "gods" visited America before Christopher Columbus. Authors usually quote from mythology and legends which discuss ancient gods such as Quetzalcoatl to conclude that the legends were actually based on Caucasians visiting those areas, and that the caucasians were really the gods

Spanish chroniclers from the 16th century claimed that when the conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro first encountered the Incas they were greeted as gods, "Viracochas", because their lighter skin resembled their God Viracocha.[3] This story was first reported by Pedro Cieza de León (1553) and later by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa. Similar accounts by Spanish chroniclers (e.g. Juan de Betanzos) describe Viracocha as a "White God", often with a beard

The writer Robert F. Marx has written extensively about the concept of "White gods", Marx came to the conclusion that white gods "figure in almost every indigenous culture in the Americas."

>>957484
Are you a blacksmith or could you use the tools of the time to make the tools to make more advanced weapons? If not, it's great that you have theoretical knowledge (if even that, and not just the knowledge that such things exist) of advanced weapons, but how would you explain how to forge them? I think the story "The Man Who Came Early" is pretty illustrative here.

Well i could actually understand written texts and the language at the time would have also been understandable to me.

The worst problem would be that the town i live in wasn't established until the 18th century or so so i would have to trek through the woods and hope there would be settlers near by.

After that just try trekking to the coast and employing what ever useful talents i might have in one of the few trading towns.

Could actually survive if not killed by disease.

Well I'd start walking north because I need to make it to the Gulf of Carpentaria by 1606 to hopefully meet the first Dutch sailors who stopped there. If I got lucky they'd take me on board and one of them would speak either English or French and I'd go with them back to whatever had been set up of the Dutch East Indies or to India itself. Then I'd try and make my way to England I guess.

Every prominent musicologists and composers will follow my guide on counterpoint, every mathematician and natural scientists will follow my lectures on analysis and every royal court in Europe will be following my line of philosophy of music and mathematics, which will lead to the very early establishment of state-funded research universities focusing on mathematics and the 500-year long tradition of Baroque music, with the development of Classicism and Romanticism skipped.

1603, luckily; is the year Samuel de Champlain made his last trip down the St-Lawrence river near Montreal. So i try and get help from the local natives to go and meet him to join him on an epic adventure of exploration, bringing modern knowledge to France. I write many books on technology, science and military art; i become a famous inventor and scientist; I even lay down the foundation for newtonian physics. I then use the influence i acquired to warn the king about the perfidious anglo and to pour great resources into the colonization of the new world; also leave prophetic warnings about the French revolution.
Then, as the colonization of New-France gets on in earnest; i go back to the new world to become one of the founding fathers of French Canada. And to quote >>958776,

Realistic approach:
> 1603
> Santiago de Nueva Extremadura in newly founded Chile capitany
> Mfw i look mixed
> Mfw i would be rejected both by mapuches and spaniards
> Mfw i would probably become a bandolier or stock thief as most chilean mestizos did

Ideal, larping approach:
> 1603
> Appear in Spanish court randomly
> Explain my mixed looks by saying that im a Poor Morisco from Andalucia since Chilean accent is quite similar to andaluz (tipical spic look but they wont be able to tell the difference)
> Just learn the differences of spanish of the era and be kay
>Studied biochemistry so i have a decent understanding of math, physics, chemistry, biology and pharmacy
> Look for a merchant guild, and impress them as i literally invent calculus, modern algebra, scurvy treatment and goods conservation
> Get rich as i literally invent compound interest and reintroduce bank notes and innovations for merchants
> Hire and train my own mercenary team and teach them modern "swedish swarm" tactics before its made the standard. Use basic and "humane treatment" psycology to make them loyal as dogs
> Trip to Florence to retrieve all those Da Vinci manuscripts with weapons and stuff, and introduce the most useful such as the repeating cannon in my army
>With an above average knowledge of the world's geography, i seek for support of the crown and conquer my own empire in Africa
> Be cool with the malaria and sickness since i know that quinone is the cure and can be imported from america, and that 99% of sickness can be avoided by filtering/boiling water or using the very first antibiotics created
> Literally invent the concept of darwinism and mix it with the current religious phillosophycal thought to create zeal for "conquering and civilizing the "inferior races"" (oh the irony)
> Build (or steal) land in America
> Only allow Jesuits, create a more pro-science church for my use

Absolute realistic approach:
> Be 1603
> Appear anywhere
> Sneeze
> Kill 85% of Human Race

You most likely won't because nobody has any reason to give a shit about you and you probably can't speak the local language, nor do you have any money.

The only 2 ways it could work is if you're a polyglot in historical languages and loval dialects or a really competent engineer/craftsman who can actually build modern devices using local tools/resources. Preferably both.

Plus a capable survivalist if you're in some unpopulated primative shithole.

Well I'm in east cost Australia, and I'd say I try and make my North, hope some Indonesians stop by and then try and make my to the middle east via Indian ocean trade routes, then to Alexandria, then Europe via Venice. Should make it to where people speak something vaguely resembling English within a decade if all goes to plan!

Realistically though, unless I've secretly been Les Stroud this whole time very quickly I'm dead of starvation within a week.
>>
>1603 in Connecticut Colony
>Fuck...

Well, I guess I'd have to start pretending to be a Puritan, try to be racist against Native Americans, and change my accent to match the English of the time (not the same as London accents today, btw). I'm a fairly decent public speaker, so I'd probably do a preaching circuit from Hartford to Springfield and Northampton, work my way down to New Haven, Groton, New London, and then quietly escape into the Rhode Island Colony in a couple of years, where maybe I could just chill on the beach and hopefully not get murdered or captured by Natives.
>>
>Poor village with scattered mining communities in Norway
There was absolutely nothing interesting going on in that time period. There was although mining going on here. Perhaps I could convince a German mining engineer from nearby to go over to the other place where they found silver somewhere around that time and dig it before anybody else find out.
