Batu Khan

Known as the grandson of Genghis Khan, he extended the Mongol Empire north of the Khazar Sea, comparable to the realm of Attila the Hun: He conquered Kievan Rus & invaded Central Europe. According to the New Chronology, he's a duplicate of:

Yaroslav derives from Yarilo, who is also identified with Saint John, which becomes Ivan in Russian ...

The mainstream known territory of the Golden Horde is approximately equal to the Khazar Khaganate, both having Astrakhan as its possible capital, making their histories possible duplicates: Might its name refer to arrows used during their raids?

The mainstream known territory of the Golden Ring had to pay tribute to the Golden Horde. However, for the New Chronology, both are duplicates: Did mainstream historians use the Khazar Khaganate as inspiration for a Mongol Yoke?

According to mainstream history, the Golden Horde was later split into an eastern & western part, though it isn't clear which colour fits which compass point. The New Chronology, rejectants of that Mongol Yoke, suggests another division:

The White Horde stretched to Belarus, Prussia & the Balkan Peninsula: Did Batu Khan & his Venedi continue the conquest of his grandfather by reaching as far as Baetica & the Vatican? Another concentric circle of cities around Vladimir fits that suggestion ...

Genghis Khan

Know as the "Scourge of God", he founded a Mongol Empire, ranging from the Khazar Sea to the Tatar Strait, the area of Chinese & Independent Tartary. After destroying Zhongdu & defeating the Khwarazmian Empire, he seemed to have died in a war against the Great Jin ...

According to the New Chronology, those nomads couldn't realise such an empire. Temujin is actually Ryurik or one of the following rulers, all duplicates of each other:

All of them waged unifaction campaigns in Russia, as the Khagan supposedly did in Mongolia: That latter name might be derived from много, refering to the incorporated mini-systems, as Immanuel Wallerstein called them, in the growing world-empire?

As also mentioned before, Vladimir is suspiciously well positioned & named to fit the role of capital of a world-empire: Is the description of Attila's campaign the real initiation of the realm, resulting in the many castels around Eurasia?

According to the New Chronology, also Saint George is a duplicate of the great conqueror:

  • Did he ride the white horse in the book of Revelation, beating the beast & his false prophet, after the defeat of Babylon?
  • Being venerated in many parts of the Old World, did the mentioned world-empire encompass the northern part of it?

Hannibal Barcas

Famous for crossing the Alps with elephants & winning many battles against the Romans, this general never managed to conquer the eternal city & fled to Asia in the end, according to mainstream history. Some interesting questions arise:

  • His campaign started on the Iberian Peninsula, but Elephas never lived in Europe. However, Iberia is a name used for two different regions: Could he have started from Caucasia?
  • Carthage is located on the northern shores of Africa, but the name can also be found on another location: the district of Kadiköy in Istanbul bears the same etymology, could Dido have migrated to Anatolia instead?

The name Hannibal associates with the Phoenician deity Baal, sometimes honored by child sacrifice: It happened the worshippers ate the bodies, does "cannibalism" perhaps originate from "khan-i-baal", or "white khan"?

Hannibal Lecter is a famous cannibal in different movies, a character once performed by Anthony Hopkins, who also performed Titus Andronicus. If Tamora, also similar to Tomyris, refers to Tamar, Shakespeare might also hint to more similarities:

The cannibal is the son of a Lithuanian duke & an Italian woman: Does this refer to the Veneti, who migrated from the Vistula to Veneto, where those Phoenicians found Venice? Might Latin actually have been derived from Lithuanian, or Latvian?

Titus Andronicus

This revenge tragedy of William Shakespeare shows the adventures of a general returning from a succesful military campaign. His name contains a Greek & an Italian part ...

According to the New Chronology, Andronicus is a partial duplicate of Jesus Christ, but also Titus is a candidate: Flavius Josephus might have been inpired by the life of the future emperor to create the character of the saviour to pacify the Jews. As well as Julius Caesar, he got deified and both of them won a famous seven year lasting war: Do these similarities hint to a partial duplicate?

The daughter of the protagonist bears the name of the second wife of Aeneas: According to Virgil, Turnus was the foreseen groom, but due to a dream Latinus changed his mind. Shakespreare wrote she was promised to Saturninus, but fell in love with his brother and fled with him. Is the character of the foreseen groom based on the king of the Rutulians?

However, in the revenge tragedy, Tamora and her surviving sons manage to kill Bassianus and rape Lavinia, whereas in the epic poem Turnus got killed earlier, so the storyline is different. Some authors identify the mentioned king as Titus, so might the inspiration for the mentioned rape come from the Abduction of the Sabine Women?

That event led to a shared reign of Titus & Romulus: After six years of mutual reign, the king of the Sabines got killed over a dispute. This resembles the fate of Remus: Gary Forsythe even claims the mentioned king was the first ruler of Rome, Romulus & Remus are only mythical characters in his opinion, as might the eldest sons of Adam & Eve be ...

According to the New Chronology, the life of the saviour inspired the author of the mentioned revenge tragedy a lot, cause also Hamlet, MacDuff & Apemantus seem to be partial duplicates of him, sometimes in a combination with John the Baptist. On the other hand, Lear & Henry VIII seem to be duplicates of Ivan the Terrible. His oeuvre is contemperary to that of Joseph Scaliger ...

Three Kings

Celebrated as Epiphany, the Magi arrived in Bethlehem to witness the birth of the king of the Jews: The physical manifestation of Jesus Christ to the גוים. Their number isn't mentioned in the gospel, but Western Christianity counts three of them, according to the number of gifts brought. Their origin remains a debate ...

According to the New Chronology, Melchior was even female, the מַלְכַּת שְׁבָא or ملكة سبأ, where Balthazar seems to be king, according to Hugo Kehrer. However, did the "White Tsar" rule the region between the Baltic Sea & the Balkan Peninsula, meaning "White Khanate", or "White Horde"?

That region is known for its very fertile soil: Bethlehem would be an appropriate name, opposite of Bethany, on the other side of the Black Sea. According to the New Chronology, the saviour was born in Crimea, could that be right?

The Armenian Church identifies Balthazar as king of Arabia, which might be a synonym for Europe. There Melchior is identified as king of Persia, which might mean Paris, but Johann von Hildesheim identifies him also as king of Nubia, where Caspar, according to the novel of Michel Tournier, is king of Meroë. That novelist might have been inspired by Piye, who defeated Sennacherib @ Jerusalem, or Memnon, who defeated Antilochus @ Troy, as described in Αἰθιοπίς: Might these stories be partial duplicates?

According to mainstream history, their relics have been brought from the Hagia Sophia, via Milan, finally to Cologne Cathedral. The Three Kings of Orion collinearly point, via Sirius, to the sunrise on Christmas around the Tropic of Cancer. By definition, Magi are Zoroastrian priests, so might the earthly tale, stuffed with gifts from Sheba, have been inspired by the long trek of Tiridates?

Three Maries

As big supporter of Jezus Christ, Mary Magdalene seems to be the first witness of his resurrection: She even might have fled to Gaul, been his wife & author of a gospel. These namesakes also lived during the epoch of the saviour: Mary the Virgin, Mary of Bethany, Mary of Clopas & Mary the Peaceful. Some might be duplicates, but also form groups of "Three Maries":

According to Eastern Orthodoxy, Lazarus fled to Cyprus. According to mainstream history, emperor Andronikos Komnenos died in Constantinople, but some claim he managed to escape to Cyprus. Is the bishop of Kition a partial duplicate of the emperor, which might be a partial duplicate of the saviour?

That escape is similar to the escape of Aeneas, a name very similar to Aenon: The emperor had estates in Oinaion, so might he also be a partial duplicate of the saviour?

Could the son of Anchises have arrived by boat near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, instead of in Latium?

Are the Cathars right in claiming the saviour had a wife?

Stanley Kubrick

An increasing population in a finite habitat evolves to less resources per person: It increases the challenge to achieve it fully for all of humanity. However, till now, mankind rather evolved in the other direction, resulting in more dehumanization, the theme throughout the oeuvre of Kubrick ...

According to mainstream history, already since the dawn of man, sexism divided humanity into male hunters & female gatherers. When civilization evolved, the list can be extended, depending on the type of social system, according to Wallerstein:

  • In mini-systems it might be profession or age
  • In world-systems it might be social class or racism

Social class & racism in a world-system allow an international division of labour: The elite share a little bit of the profits with the working class in the core of the world-system, deliberately creating a fake psyche of happiness they’re less victim to dehumanization than their classmates in the periphery. The aim for the elite is clear: Maintaining the capitalist world-economy for their own benefits as long as possible ...

By hiding the real history of humanity people are unaware of their origin, which benefits the agenda of the elite too. As Orwell quoted: "Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." That's also why our mainstream education, science & media try to indoctrinate you they're the only source to believe in, that way actually admitting they're a religion too!

Although great personalities in our history have tried to change this trend, an unaware, maybe intelligent unable, population still allowed the elite to abuse this ignorance during the larger part of our history. But their greed is not only harming the majority of humanity, also our habitat is in danger. As Gandhi quoted: "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed." An awakened humanity is necessary to turn the tide!

Samalas Eruption

In 1257 AD one of the largest volcanic eruptions took place on Lombok, causing worldwide catastrophies the subsequent years, possibly even resulting in the Little Ice Age. It was an outburst of similar strength as the well knows of Santorini, Vesuvius, Tambora & Krakatoa ...

In The Medieval Empire of the Israelites, the authors describe that glacial cores point out a catastrophe must have taken place around 1260 AD. Ten years later, scientists concluded Segara Anak was the result of that catastrophic eruption. For these authors, the mentioned year is a key to understand history, some important historical turning points took place around that time:

Although at first glance these events seem unconnected to each other, some interesting questions arise:

  • As the Mongols, the Byzantines got defeated first, however the latter ones were succesful one year later: Might the spring of Goliath refer to the spring near Constantinople, of which the nearby gate contributed to the surprising seizure?
  • Cadiz means stronghold, while Constantinople is famous for its walls: Could it be the former ones captured it too under their pseudonym Castilians, although mainstream history claims otherwise?

Considering these similarities, is one real historical blueprint used to, at least partially, invent some fake histories for different regions, so creating some fake history & hiding some real history?

About one millenium earlier, around 536 AD, a volcanic eruption also caused extreme weather events & crop failures. Late in that year the troops of Flavius Belisarius seized Naples by using an abandoned aqueduct to capture the city by surprise: Is this a duplicate story of the mentioned seizure, as well as the seizure of Troy?

Attila the Hun

Know as the "Scourge of God", he conquered an empire ranging from the Roman Limes to the Ural Mountains: The European part of the Heartland, extending from Hungary to Yugra, comparable to the territory of the Golden Horde at its peak. On his way to Aurelianum, he got defeated for the first time on the Catalaunian Plains. His name is similar to a Khazar capital & another name for the Volga river:

  • Switching vowels might turn it into Ital(ia)
  • Reversing consonants might turn it into Lati(um)

In Romance languages, a royal dynasty ruling the region of the Во́лга river might be translated as 'Casa Итиль': It can be contracted to Castil(ia), which on itself leads to 'castle'. It arises the following questions:

We might make the following comparison with the wars of Carolus Magnus:

According to Heribert Illig, this phantom character never existed: So where did the inspiration for the story of this 'Great King' come from? From the 'Genghis Khan' who, according to the New Chronology, conquered Europe? He might have built castles to maintain control, helped by his brother Khasar?

16 June 2021

Ivan the Terrible

Know as the first Tsar of all Rus, Ivan added the Ta(r)tar khanates of Kazan & Astrakhan to his realm, turning it into an empire. However, the subsequent Livonian War was a disaster, the Ta(r)tar knanate of Crimea nearly succesfully raided his capital. During his reign, the conquest of the Ta(r)tar khanate of Sibir started. The New Chronology tells a similar story:

Khan Kuchum ruled east of the Ural Mountains. Sounds can have different consonants, for example 'CH' = 'X' & 'K' = 'C': Reversing the consonants & switching the vowels might lead to 'Mexic(o)', whose reverse is '(O)cixem', or Shechem: Can we also associate it with 'Meshech', its near reverse, together with 'Tubal', refering to Tobolsk, the lands where Magog ruled, whereas 'Rosh' refers to Russia?

Грозный might be a duplicate of Великий, and in reality be an assemblance of four real characters, according to the New Chronology:

Is it a Romanov conspiracy to claim the Russian throne, after the Time of Troubles? It might fit in the framework of Wallerstein to alter real history for giving birth to nationalistic ideologies to supply the existence of a world-economy: Is it a coincidence that the VOC, the very first MNC, had its origin aroud that time?

The Oprichnina was a first answer to an attempt to gain power by the Romanovs, which they might have covered up later. What else happened to our real history?

Mehmed the Conqueror

Almost one millenium after Rome fell to the Germans, after a siege of seven weeks the Turks finally conquered Constantinople: These events can respectively be considered as start & end of our known Middle Ages. During this epoch, the Byzantine capital endured yet many sieges ...

After the conquest, sultan Mehmed quite quickly ordered the construction of the Eyüp Sultan shrine, honoring the standard-bearer of prophet Muhammad, who supposedly died there during a former siege: Almost eight centuries later, a religious scholar suddenly seems to do discover the burial spot. According to the New Chronology, sultan & prophet are duplicates: the standard-bearer probably died during the last siege of the city, the mentioned timespan fits closely in the difference between chronological shifts they discovered ...

The sultan mainly focused on Europe, possibly derived from the Hebrew "עֶרֶב" or Greek "Ἔρεβος": Switching vowels may clearify why the prophet conquered Arabia, it's quite curious we find Arabic inscriptions on Roman mantles or Russian weaponry. According to the New Chronology, the conqueror had more partial duplicates, for example:

Which story fits best the real history? Astronomy even associates the Apocalypse with the mentioned conquest ...

15 May 2021

John the Baptist

As a cleansing rite, John baptised Jesus, an act inspiring some Christians as follows:

Like many other Jewish celebrities, his mother gave birth on a rather high age, after being infertile for a while: A sign for an important life protected by the Holy Spirit. As the character of Jesus might be a mixture of Andrey Bogolyubsky & Andronikos Komnenos, the New Chronology suggests John's might be one of those of:

The baptist worked near Αἰνών in בֵּית עַנְיָה. Before becoming emperor, Andronikos Komnenos lived on his ancestral estates in Οἰνόη: Is the same town mentioned? Paintings suggest a fertile working habitat, not a desert: Should we rather understand the deserted countryside?

Lazarus originated from Bethany & moved to Kition: According to the New Chronology, Jesus installed him as a bishop in the 中國城市 before going to Царьград, where he cleansed the Temple. The priests plotted against him, making him flee from Jerusalem to Bethany, where he got baptised in Aenon: Are we talking about Oinaion in Bithynia?

Criticizing the unlawful marriage of Herodes Antipas got the baptist imprisoned: His influence on the people was feared. Inspired by her mother, Salome requested the head of the baptist, but according to Flavius Josephus he just might have been executed. According to Muslims, his skull is kept in the الْجَامِع الْأُمَوِي, but other sanctuaries also claim to keep his relics ...

Merlin the Magician

A shapeshifting druid functioning as the tutor of the legendary king Arthur: Emrys Wledig & Myrddin Wyllt are the historical sources for the famous wizard. Latinised as Ambrosius Aurelianus, the first source appeared in different historical sources:

Is any of these stories fully correct?

It seems Emrys Wledig sent his troops to Ireland for cutting stones to be used in the construction of a memorial near the place of slaughter of their nobles. However, his soldiers weren't able to dismantle the stones, so he asked Myrddin Emrys for help: Applying his magic, in one night he managed to bring them from Mount Killaraus to Salisbury Plain, although archeological research seems to pone the stones stood, at least for a while, at Preseli Hills. Even that transfer of those stones is quite challenging: Did the druid have access to technology that might be lost today?

He also led the construction of Stonehenge: Giants helped him, though Brutus of Troy already wiped them out. Did Gogmagog & his brethren resurrect, or was Brutus a duplicate of Ambrosius that killed those giants afterwards, or did some stories mix up?

15 April 2021

Basil the Physician

A monk, working as a physician, became a teacher, supported by twelve apostles, to spread this message: Abolishment of the ecclesiastical hierarchy & return to early spiritual teaching. He was a member of the Bogomils, about one century eralier initiated by a priest: It has roots in Paulicianism & Manichaeism ...

Off course, patriarch Nicholas Grammatikos & emperor Alexios Komnenos condemned him as an heretic: By ruse, they were able to burn him on a stake in the Hippodrome of Constantinople. However, this murder didn't stop Gnosticism: On the contrary, from the Balkan Peninsula it spread to Kievan Rus, but also the southern parts of Gaul; for example the Cathars & Waldenses ...

Just as Christ, the mentioned monk got betrayed by one of his disciples. He also healed the sick, as some other examples in the domain of medicine:

  • Basileios of Caesarea founded the Basiliad, a complex with a poorhouse, hospice & hospital: Gregorios of Nazianzos thought it could rival the wonders of the world ...
  • Asklepios of Epidavros applied the method of incubation in his Spa: The patient was cured when he saw a snake in his dream. He seemed to have inspired Hippocrates of Kos ...
  • Merlin of Wales seemed to be a shapeshifting druid: Sired by an incubus, a woman gave birth to that healing wizard ...

These are all, according to the New Chronology, at least partial, duplicates: The four dimensions allow them to resemble as unique personalities in history, but deeper research points out their often obvious similarities ...

After the execution of the physician, Bogomils remained prosecuted by pope & patriarch: They fled to Bosnia, where the local heretics tolerated them. However, the conquering Ottomans didn't mind the heresy, resulting in a mass embracement of Islam. Besides that, according to the historical revisionists, even prophet Muhammad seems to be a partial duplicate of prophet Joshua ...

05 April 2021

Jesus Christ

According to mainstream history, "ישוע מָשִׁיחַ" resurrected after he died on a cross, a fate shared with many other Gods: It might be the "Greatest Story Ever Told", as the alignment of the Karnak Temple, where the Crux Constellation is visible, might confirm ...

Besides apostle Simon, also his brother Andrew died on a cross: Respectively, their successors are called 'pope' & 'patriarch'. One brother preached in the eternal city, while the other went to Scythia: Political Rome accepted christianity some three centuries later, while it took about a whole millenium to be succesful in Kievan Rus ...

Andrey Bogolyubsky was known as the Scythian Caesar: He extended the realm, won a civil war & imposed popular reforms. A conspiracy of displeased boyars led to his murder, comparable to Julius Caesar's: A knife was the cause of death, in this case by cutting off a hand. Interestingly, the appointed dictator got a stab from Cassius Longinus, whereas the anointed saviour received one from Saint Longinus, which definitely led to his demise ...

Andronikos Komnenos was maintaining his estates in Caucasia around the time of the mentioned murder, but a few years later he returned to Constantinople to seize the throne, attempting to fight elitist corruption. Though nearly succesful, a conspiracy of nobles arose a tumult to dethrone the emperor. Tortured by the mob while tied to a post, also his hand got cut off: Penetrating swords of soldiers finally led to his demise ...

According to the New Chronology, the mentioned characters are partial duplicates: Could the Giant's Grave on Joshua's Hill be the burial spot of the original? SN1054 might inspire us: As son of the solar deity, a second "sun" appeared temporarily, situated near the Taurus Constellation, whereof Crab Nebula is the actual remnant. However, further research made clear the event should be postponed by about one century, leading us in four dimensions to the mentioned Byzantine Emperor ...

The supernova coincides with the Great Schism, also to be postponed by one century initially, but a millenial shift even brings us back to the supposed lifetime of the anointed saviour. Was the schism an unsolved dispute, partly on that extra "sun"? It might have been the trigger for the medieval Trojan War ...

15 March 2021

Julius Caesar

According to mainstream history, on the Ides of March in 44 BC, dictator Julius Caesar got assassinated in a conspiracy led by Cassius Longinus & Junius Brutus, respectively the son-in-law & son of the dictator's mistress: His Last Words refer to that relationship. Namesake Brutus of Troy also killed his father and fled through Gaul to reach England, where he founded New Troy ...

For the Roman Empire, the future dictator had conquered Gaul, home to the Celts: Their territory stretched from Galicia, over Galatia, along Galich, to Wales, as Abraham Ortelius seems to have mapped. They celebrated Yule during the twelve days following the winter solstice & Anatoly Fomenko translates "Julius" as "Sunny": After his assassination, the dictator got venerated as "Son of the Divine". The feasts of Saturnalia & Sol Invictus are also situated around the date of Christmas ...

He returned to Rome in triumph, as if it was Palm Sunday, where he finally became dictator. He reformed the calendar, the Julian replaced the Roman: A civil year now contained 365 days & the leap year was introduced to keep track with the length of a tropical year. A quite accurate approach, though the Gregorian correction seemed necessary: 1582 AD misses ten days ...

A bit odd, cause calculations lead to one extra day for nearly 128 years, so ten days only bring us back to emperor Constantinus Magnus, who decided Sunday should be the last day of the week. It inspired Heribert Illig & according to the New Chronology he is just a double of emperor Octavianus Augustus, as are Constantius Chlorus & Julius Caesar: The "green" & the "young" might have a similar meaning ...

Their research is refuted by career historians, claiming the goal was to get into accordance with the usual dates around the period of the Council of Nicaea. However, the Easter Book tells us that event should have taken place at least a few centuries later, as Florin Diacu confirmed: Scaliger was working around 1582 AD, did his research & the reform influence each other? That's right, it might be coincidental, but his father bore the name Julius Caesar ...

28 February 2021

Yoros Salam

At the sunrise side of the Bosporus, near the exit to the Black Sea, we find the abandoned castle of Yoros: A strategic location to control maritime traffic with the White Sea. A temple for Zeus preceded the castle, making it clear why "Ιερου" became "Yoros", refering to a sanctuary, as does Jerusalem ...

Salem refers to dusk, so rather the sunset side of the mentioned strait, where we find big sanctuaries close to Seraglio Point: "Ιερουσαλήμ" would be an appropriate toponym for the spot. The city of king Melchizedek, priest of Elyon, bears the toponym too; Troy was also known as Ilion. A comparison with the Temple Mount goes like this:

Crusaders conquered those sanctuaries, followed by a temporary reign with a foreign ruler called Baldwin. Nearby territories were also occupied: Outremer on one hand, Frankokratia on the other, so Paris abducted Hellas?

Nevertheless, the toponym applies to more locations, Moscow's Kremlin might be one: Inhabitants of its adjacent "Chinese City" see it as a sanctuary with the sunset in the background. After Scaliger had compiled the medieval & ancient history we're taught today, Jerusalem was reserved as the only primary toponym for the town around the Al-Aqsa Mosque ...

Near Scythia, the vowels 'd & n' are usually found in the name of a river: Could "Yor-dan" be another name for the river-resembling strait, passing by the earlier mentioned castle? Close to that castle we find Joshua's Hill, with the Giant's Grave: Which saviour is buried here?

21 February 2021

Great Wall

As protection against raging nomads from the Eurasian Steppes, Chinese Emperors deployed labour forces to build qualitative fortifications. Alas, it didn't stop some invading hordes conquering the country: Qin, the first dynasty of the united empire, initiated the project, while Qing, the last dynasty in that empire, crossed it to take power overthere. Manchuria is a region in Chinese Tartary, whereof cartographer John Cary drew the borders:

Before Pugachev's Rebellion it seemed to belong to Great Tartary, together with Siberia & Turkestan, but Crimea was known as the distinguished Little Tartary: Were they even earlier united as one Tartary? On its borders with Persia, near the Caspian Sea, we also find walls:

  • Near Gorgan on its eastern shore
  • Near Derbent on its western shore

Dhu Al-Qarnayn or Alexander the Great might have built them to isolate Gog of Magog: In the Tartarus, where Giants are buried? In England, Gogmagog was killed by a companion of Brutus of Troy, as Goliath fell ...

Throughout Europe, the supposed descendants of Aeneas of Troy constructed the Roman Limes to keep nomadic tribes outside the empire, ranging from the Black Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, with the following extremities:

Did all those fortifications act as fences between a Heartland of a world-empire & the first parts of a separating Rimland?

14 February 2021

Trojan Horse

When Paris abducted Helen, it started the Trojan War, which ended by the trick with the Trojan Horse, whereafter Aeneas managed to escape the burning city. The trick with the hollow horse is a bit odd; the following questions pop up in my mind:

  • Nobody noticed a possible entrance to the belly of the horse?
  • None of the hidden soldiers sneezed or coughed the whole time?
  • They could remain noiseless when the horse suddenly started to move?
  • ...

The Aeneid covers the story of the hollow horse: In Latin, 'horse' translates as 'equus', while 'water' translates as 'aqua'. Before the invention of printing press, a mistake in copying happened easily: Could 'equus' have replaced 'aqua', in connection with the verb 'ducere', which translates as 'to lead'?

This question is brought forward by the New Chronology: Did the seizure of Troy happen as in early medieval Naples?

According to them, the ruïns of Hisarlik are too small for being the remnants of that once so mighty city. They suggest it should be Tsargrad & they could be right: When the Greeks recaptured late medieval Constantinople, being lost to the Latins since the Fourth Crusade, they used a secret passage near the Gate of the Spring ...

"Νεά Πολις" & "Nova Roma" nearly mean the same, as does "𐤒𐤓𐤕 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕". The Aeneid covers the love story of Dido & Aeneas too: Though they've been born centuries apart, in the story they met, proving ancient Virgil indeed wrote propaganda. How about late medieval Virgil?

I mentioned the importance of national propaganda already in a former post: Authors Robert Grishin & Vladimir Melamed suggest in chapter fourteen of their book the mentioned namesakes are doubles. That's right, even Shakespeare might not have been who we think he was, also according to Petter Amundsen ...

07 February 2021

Mongol Empire

In my former post, I mentioned the existence of a world-empire before it collapsed into the world-economy we know today. Our mainstream history teaches us the existence of such an empire near the end of the Middle Ages, the greatest one ever existing, the Mongol Empire.

Mainstream history describes the Mongols as being a bunch of nomadic tribes roaming around Tartary, using bow & arrow in conflict while riding horses. Once united under Temujin, in about 20 years they managed to conquer a territory ranging over the Eurasian Steppes between the Caspian & Japanese Sea. The following 50 years, their offspring added more parts of Russia, Persia & China to the realm, resulting in the greatest world-empire ever conquered on landmasses. Horses might allow a quick conquest, but how did nomads adapt so quickly to change their lifestyle from cattle-breeders to empire-managers?

Initially they lacked a real capital, but later Ögedei upgraded Karakorum. Today we find Erdene Zuu Khiid on the spot, but remnants of the former city are almost absent: Where are the foundations of the Silver Tree & Great Palace on the meadow?

For example, in Rome, another capital of a former world-empire, we find much more remnants, supposed to be much older. I would rather expect the opposite, so is that remote spot in Mongolia the real location of their former capital?

The conquest went smooth until the battle of Ain Jalut: The smaller Mamluk Sultanate pushed the greater Mongol Empire back. According to mainstream history this was a turning point in the conquest & must have felt as king David defeated giant Goliath again, or was that story just a tale?

The reason for the pushback was the war about the succession of Möngke, resulting in the partitioning of the world-empire. Although Kublai was successful in claiming the throne, the central authority over the different parts was waning, especially in the most remote region of the Golden Horde. The transfer of the capital to Khanbaliq only contributed to the defragmentation of the greatest world-empire ...
