Hulagu Khan

Sent by his brother along the Silk Road to conquer the Fertile Crescent, he captured the city bestowed by God, but the prompt need to attend a kurultai allowed the Mamluks to defeat the Mongols. His name is similar to his uncle's from the Chagatai Khanate & a chanyu of the Xiongnu Empire, as well with Ulugh Muhammad & Ulugh Beg, also astronomer & grandson of a great conqueror. Since proof for the historicity of the Mongol Empire is lacking, which biography might serve as the original for those partial duplicates?

The defeat near Ain Jalut might have been duplicated as the siege of Constantinopolis: Oleg the Wise also couldn't capture it, but before he managed to capture Kiev, a feat repeated by Batu Khan, who also promptly had to attend a kurultai. The founder of the Golden Horde is known as the successor of Genghis Khan in the New Chronology, which identifies Ryurik as a partial duplicate of the great conqueror. As well as Baghdad, the city of Kyi is situated at a major river through its Mesopotamia: Is one of those cities actually a transposed duplicate?

The city on the major eastern river in mainstream Mesopotamia was also conquered from Turkestan by Seljuks & Timurids, resulting in similar empires to the Ilkhanate: Are those realms duplicates in history?

The tale of the Mongol Empire seems to resemble the reconquista of Baetica, wherein battles of the house of Atil might have been duplicated as follows:

Alfonso the Wise too was an astronomer & also fought against the fellow believers of Berke Khan: Is he also a partial duplicate?

The civil war with Berke Khan might be fictional & have been duplicated as the conflict between Batu Khan & Guyuk Khan. Oleg stams from Helgu, Batu might, besides firm, also mean West, a combination of this information then leads to Saint Peter: Was Ivan Danilovich his real name, as the New Chronology proposes?

Samar Kand

Known as an architectural pearl along the Silk Road, the city has officially been seized by great conquerors as Temujin & Alexander, whose supposed empires encompassed Greater Iran:

  • Whose area nearly fits the territory of the Khwarazmian & Timurid empires: Are they partial duplicates?
  • Where we find its characteristic architecture, as can be seen in the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan

Two years after the conquest of Khanbaliq by the Ming Empire, Timur besieged Balkh, where Zoroaster supposedly died & also was associated with Shambhala: Are the Timurid & Ming empires partial duplicates of each other?

After that era, the area split into two parts, more or less along the prolonged path of the Gorgan Wall:

While Turkistan might have been a destination for the fleeing dynasty, some of their members also might have migrated to Japan: Tokugawa Ieyasu founded the shogunate, where Samurai held bureaucratic positions: Do Ieyasu & Yeso refer to Jesus?

After the revolt of Yemelyan Pugachev, the northern part of Great Tartary got conquered by the Russian Empire, while the southern part remained independent, but split into a western & eastern part, roughly similar to the case of the Turkic Khaganate: Fortresses along the Ural & Irtysh marked the border. After China took the eastern Chinese Tartary, Russia focused in the Great Game on acquiring the western remaining Independent Tartary, finalising it with the conquest of a last remainder, the Bukhara Khanate ...

Forged Psychology

According to the World-Systems Analysis I mentioned in my  former post, mini-systems & world-empires don't exist anymore: Since the 16th century, they all gradually became incorporated into one single world-economy, the modern world-system!

National propaganda fits this world-economy very well: It’s political units are rivals, so the minds of their own inhabitants should be directed in favor of their political existence, to avoid inner struggle and thus maintain a strong international competitive position. A national psyche serves this aim very well, so they create & spread their own national culture:

  • Printing press wasn't invented much earlier than the 16th century, allowing the distribution of uniform texts on a wide scale
  • The emerging nation states might have abused unique historical records to write their own fictional past & burned those quite unique originals

Did the then brand new nation states abuse the new technology to spread the new message to conquer as much as possible minds?

The world-empire of the Middle Ages facilitated long-distance trade by building caravan-saray along the main (silk)roads. These mainly east-west-oriented tracks allowed diseases to spread quite easily to similar climate belts in the Old World. Although heirs to the throne were already competing each other in the 14th century, weakening the central authority, the black death forced the emperor to quarantine his empire into smaller regions. Now these provinces had to rely on themselves, contributing to a psyche for an unnecessary imperial authority.

The kings of the provinces started to create their own “world-empires”, psychologically supported by a quickly generated “national history”. It led to a competitive atmosphere in acquiring resources, sometimes by fighting each other, but mainly resulting in a quest to colonize as much as possible terrain in the rest of the world: The world-empire disintegrated into a world-economy!
