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:

• Her name means figtree, whence the name Bethany comes: This is Bithynia, where Kadiköy is situated & Hannibal found shelter after his campaign ...
• Queen Tamar was shortly married to Yury Bogolyubsky, son of the Scythian Caesar, the character Tamora was shortly married to Saturninus, son of the dead emperor ...
• Bassianus is also an important high priest of the cult of Elagabalus, the solar variant of Baal, to whom the eldest son of Tamora might have been offered ...

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?

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":

• In the sixth century, a pope identified Mary Magdalene as Mary of Bethany. Together with Mary the Virgin & Mary of Clopas, she attended the saviour's crucifixion.
• In the fifteenth century, someone claimed to have found the relics of Mary of Clopas & Mary the Peaceful near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, where they seem to have arrived by boat, together with Mary Magdalene. Also Mary of Bethany, together with her siblings Lazarus & Martha, seems to have arrived there.

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?

• Lavinium is similar to Avignon, where the popes lived in Babylonian Captivity
• Ascanius might have migrated as far as Avallon, similar to Alba Longa or Avalon, close to Paris, Troyes, Reims & Autun
• Brutus founded Tours before crossing the Channel

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

John the Baptist

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

• In his First Corinthian Epistle, Paul compared it with the Exodus: Mozes & his people crossing יַם-סוּף meant purification
• According to apostle Simon, it's similar to the Deluge: Noah & his family were purified after floating on the water

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:

• Saint Leontius & Saint Theodore from the Golden Ring
• Alexios Branas & John Komnenos from the Golden Horn

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 ...
