Palaia Roma

According to mainstream antiquity, Phoenicians founded the first settlements, among which 𐤑‬𐤉𐤑, on its western shores, whereafter Sicily mainly got colonized by Hellenes on the other shorelines. Although the latter ones occupied Palermo only for a short time, officialy it derives from παν όρμος, but does παλαιά Ῥώμη actually fit better?

According to the New Chronology, the so called "First Rome" should be located near the Nile Delta: They suggest Alexandria as the probable spot, where the famous lighthouse counted as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. However, proof of its existence lacks and nearby Sicily we find Stromboli, known as the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean": Did the famous library actually burn in Palermo?

Its present historical architecture has roots going back till the 11th century AD. This fits the research of the New Chronology, its history hints to the following duplicates:

• The name of the settlement 𐤑‬𐤉𐤑 is similar to the name of the castle ٱلْعَزِيزُ
• The conquests of Φλάβιος Βελισάριος are similar to the colonization of Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς

Φλάβιος Βελισάριος also conquered Naples, as did Charles of Anjou, or the Νεά Πολις of Παλαιό Πολις, similar to the city structure of Palermo. Paris is similar to Persia, that's why he might be a duplicate of Cyrus. Περσέ Πολις, as well as Πέλλα, lacks the features of a capital of a world-empire. Medieval wars in Ἑλλάς might have their exaggerated duplicates in antiquity:

• The campaign of Walter = the campaign of Xerxes
• The Catalan-Navarrese conflict = the Athenian-Spartan conflict

A Sicilian Expidition became a disaster for Athens, but for example not for the Normans, or even Aeneas: He supposedly visited the island twice, the last time holding funeral games for Anchises. Did he already found a Ῥώμη on the island, before Romulus & Remus founded a new one on the mainland, and are "Romans" eventually ancient reverse duplicates of "Normans"?

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?

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:

• The wise king Solomon brought prosperity & the construction of Solomon's Temple, although archeological evidence seems to be negotiable. After destruction a second one was built, whereof the Wailing Wall is supposed to be a remnant: Only the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a complete still standing sanctuary overthere ...
• On the First Hill, the still standing Church of the Holy Wisdom was yet the third one, the former two being destroyed by uprisings. On the Third Hill, the Suleymaniye Mosque was built under leadership of the magnificent sultan Süleyman ...

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?

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 ...
