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:

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:

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"?

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?
