Kublai Khan

Known from a poem written under opium intoxication, he decreed a stately pleasure dome in the mythical Xanadu: Mainstream history identifies it as Shangdu, where a kurultai was held to oppose his brother. After winning the consequential civil war, he transfered his capital from Karakorum to Khanbaliq: Is he a duplicate of Dmitry Ivanovich, who moved it from Vladimir to Moscow?

Where Kublai supposedly refounded Zhongdu, Donskoy renewed the kremlin of Moscow. As well as Tartar City, it neighbours an outer city, whose name can be translated as Cathay City. The New Chronology claims a big part of the mainstream history of Zhongguo is a fraud: Was the history of one capital city copied to hide another's?

While Moscow might be the reconstruction of Jerusalem, the description of the Forbidden City fits the description of a new Jerusalem in the book of Revelation & scrolls of Qumran: Although the measurements are too huge, the rectangular shape & twelve gates fit the picture. The Opium Wars weakened the Manchu Empire, where the Taiping Rebellion even proclaimed a(nother) new Jerusalem: Were the thousand years mentioned in Revelation another exaggeration & Tartar City the capital city of the new earthly realm, ultimately defeated by the Eight Nation Alliance?

The few remaining ruins near Shangdu also display a rectangular shape, similar to the ones of Ordu Baliq, suggesting they belong to another era than proposed by mainstream history. Terpischore performed in Xanadu, whereas the river Alfeios springs in Arcadia:

• Can khanate idyllicly be written as Xanadu, refering to the Tartarian Empire?
• Does the location near the river refer to Olympia, where Panhellenic Games were held?

As Canada might suggest, the empire even stretched to the New World. The putsch by the last ruler of a unified empire yet met permanent resistance, slowly dismantling the realm. Independent nations arose, stimulating the grow of the modern world-system:

• Was the battle of Peking the final blow for the former world-empire?
• Are Olympic Games held to stimulate competition in the modern world-economy?

The original known version of those games honored Zeus, the only surviving son of Cronus, of whom mainstream christianity inherited the celebration of Christmas on the day of Sol Invictus: Was a putsching Constantinus Magnus actually implementing opportunistic reforms to distract christians to an occult worship in a pleasure-dome?

It inspired Frankie Goes To Hollywood, where the Red Hot Chili Peppers claim space is filmed. After the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the general repetition for faking the moon landings, writer Arthur Charles Clarke honored Stanley Kubrick with a variant on the mentioned poem: Does Hollywood provide us pleasure under a firmament?

Besides there, the idyllic place is found elsewhere:

• Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago is described as America's Xanadu
• Bill Gates' mansion in Medina even bears the name Xanadu 2.0

Were Operation Warpspeed & Vaccination Passports unrolled in an attempt to control pleasure under the dome?

Madain Salih

In antiquity known as Hegra, similar to Hijra, the site is said to have been carved out by Nabateans. As well as Muhammad, Salih preached against polytheism & idolatry: Is Madain actually Medina & are those prophets partial duplicates that fled Petra, as the local research of Dan Gibson suggests?

Nebajoth is the eldest son of Ishmael, who supposedly built the Kaaba & of whom Muslims claim to be descendants. As well as their neighbouring Maccabees, descendants from Isaac, the Nabateans succesfully resisted a Macedon Empire, but officially both of them ultimately became provinces of the Roman Empire: Did Abraham actually rule a once united kingdom?

During what is known as the Siege of Mecca, the Kaaba got destroyed, whereby the black rock split into three pieces: Was it actually a Siege of Petra by the Umayyads, whereafter Hashemites took them to the south to build a new sanctuary in a safer spot, which definitely became the new Becca after the Abbasids took power?

In the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones searches for the Holy Grail in the canyon of the Crescent Moon, a symbol of Islam & a scene filmed in Petra:

• Does the main character refer to Prester John?
• Is his team searching for a Lapis Exilis or Philosopher's Stone?
• Does the trembling temple refer to the many earthquakes the city endured?

One of those destructive earthquakes is officially dated right after the defeat of Abd al-Lah ibn al-Zubayr, another one about 330 years earlier, according with one of the chronological shifts of Anatoly Fomenko, so they might be duplicates. Even stronger, he claims Islam only originated about a millenium later, according with the historical research of Florin Diacu, nearly coinciding with the time Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab preached against Sufism: Did he hijack the biography of Salih?

Unlike Maslama ibn Habib, the movement of his compatriot, supporting Ibn Saud, later managed to conquer Mecca, driving the Hashemites & last caliph out of Arabia: Is it a coincidence they only held their royal title in Jordan?
