Mehmed the Conqueror

Almost one millenium after Rome fell to the Germans, after a siege of seven weeks the Turks finally conquered Constantinople: These events can respectively be considered as start & end of our known Middle Ages. During this epoch, the Byzantine capital endured yet many sieges ...

After the conquest, sultan Mehmed quite quickly ordered the construction of the Eyüp Sultan shrine, honoring the standard-bearer of prophet Muhammad, who supposedly died there during a former siege: Almost eight centuries later, a religious scholar suddenly seems to do discover the burial spot. According to the New Chronology, sultan & prophet are duplicates: the standard-bearer probably died during the last siege of the city, the mentioned timespan fits closely in the difference between chronological shifts they discovered ...

The sultan mainly focused on Europe, possibly derived from the Hebrew "עֶרֶב" or Greek "Ἔρεβος": Switching vowels may clearify why the prophet conquered Arabia, it's quite curious we find Arabic inscriptions on Roman mantles or Russian weaponry. According to the New Chronology, the conqueror had more partial duplicates, for example:

• Thutmose, with the conquest of Kadesh
• Nebuchadnezzar, with the destruction of Jerusalem
• Moses, whose successor Joshua immediately conquers Jericho
• Philip, whose successor Alexander immediately conquers Troy
• Timur, with the liberation of Samarkand
• Ivan, with the conquest of Kazan

Which story fits best the real history? Astronomy even associates the Apocalypse with the mentioned conquest ...

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 ...

Merlin the Magician

A shapeshifting druid functioning as the tutor of the legendary king Arthur: Emrys Wledig & Myrddin Wyllt are the historical sources for the famous wizard. Latinised as Ambrosius Aurelianus, the first source appeared in different historical sources:

• According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, together with his brother Uther, he returned from Little Britain to Great Britain: They landed on the same spot as Brutus of Troy, to defeat the Saxons, restoring British rule ...
• According to Nennius of Wales, he also defeated them. Before that happened, the druid existed as Myrddin Emrys, who became an advisor of Vortigern: The "Story of Llud & Llefelys" completes this "Tale of two Dragons" ...
• According to Gildas the Wise, he was the "Last of the Romans": After the devastating passage of Hengist, this surviving warlord organised an army and took revenge. Bede the Venerable tells a similar story ...

Is any of these stories fully correct?

It seems Emrys Wledig sent his troops to Ireland for cutting stones to be used in the construction of a memorial near the place of slaughter of their nobles. However, his soldiers weren't able to dismantle the stones, so he asked Myrddin Emrys for help: Applying his magic, in one night he managed to bring them from Mount Killaraus to Salisbury Plain, although archeological research seems to pone the stones stood, at least for a while, at Preseli Hills. Even that transfer of those stones is quite challenging: Did the druid have access to technology that might be lost today?

He also led the construction of Stonehenge: Giants helped him, though Brutus of Troy already wiped them out. Did Gogmagog & his brethren resurrect, or was Brutus a duplicate of Ambrosius that killed those giants afterwards, or did some stories mix up?

Basil the Physician

A monk, working as a physician, became a teacher, supported by twelve apostles, to spread this message: Abolishment of the ecclesiastical hierarchy & return to early spiritual teaching. He was a member of the Bogomils, about one century eralier initiated by a priest: It has roots in Paulicianism & Manichaeism ...

Off course, patriarch Nicholas Grammatikos & emperor Alexios Komnenos condemned him as an heretic: By ruse, they were able to burn him on a stake in the Hippodrome of Constantinople. However, this murder didn't stop Gnosticism: On the contrary, from the Balkan Peninsula it spread to Kievan Rus, but also the southern parts of Gaul; for example the Cathars & Waldenses ...

Just as Christ, the mentioned monk got betrayed by one of his disciples. He also healed the sick, as some other examples in the domain of medicine:

• Basileios of Caesarea founded the Basiliad, a complex with a poorhouse, hospice & hospital: Gregorios of Nazianzos thought it could rival the wonders of the world ...
• Asklepios of Epidavros applied the method of incubation in his Spa: The patient was cured when he saw a snake in his dream. He seemed to have inspired Hippocrates of Kos ...
• Merlin of Wales seemed to be a shapeshifting druid: Sired by an incubus, a woman gave birth to that healing wizard ...

These are all, according to the New Chronology, at least partial, duplicates: The four dimensions allow them to resemble as unique personalities in history, but deeper research points out their often obvious similarities ...

After the execution of the physician, Bogomils remained prosecuted by pope & patriarch: They fled to Bosnia, where the local heretics tolerated them. However, the conquering Ottomans didn't mind the heresy, resulting in a mass embracement of Islam. Besides that, according to the historical revisionists, even prophet Muhammad seems to be a partial duplicate of prophet Joshua ...

Jesus Christ

According to mainstream history, "ישוע מָשִׁיחַ" resurrected after he died on a cross, a fate shared with many other Gods: It might be the "Greatest Story Ever Told", as the alignment of the Karnak Temple, where the Crux Constellation is visible, might confirm ...

Besides apostle Simon, also his brother Andrew died on a cross: Respectively, their successors are called 'pope' & 'patriarch'. One brother preached in the eternal city, while the other went to Scythia: Political Rome accepted christianity some three centuries later, while it took about a whole millenium to be succesful in Kievan Rus ...

Andrey Bogolyubsky was known as the Scythian Caesar: He extended the realm, won a civil war & imposed popular reforms. A conspiracy of displeased boyars led to his murder, comparable to Julius Caesar's: A knife was the cause of death, in this case by cutting off a hand. Interestingly, the appointed dictator got a stab from Cassius Longinus, whereas the anointed saviour received one from Saint Longinus, which definitely led to his demise ...

Andronikos Komnenos was maintaining his estates in Caucasia around the time of the mentioned murder, but a few years later he returned to Constantinople to seize the throne, attempting to fight elitist corruption. Though nearly succesful, a conspiracy of nobles arose a tumult to dethrone the emperor. Tortured by the mob while tied to a post, also his hand got cut off: Penetrating swords of soldiers finally led to his demise ...

According to the New Chronology, the mentioned characters are partial duplicates: Could the Giant's Grave on Joshua's Hill be the burial spot of the original? SN1054 might inspire us: As son of the solar deity, a second "sun" appeared temporarily, situated near the Taurus Constellation, whereof Crab Nebula is the actual remnant. However, further research made clear the event should be postponed by about one century, leading us in four dimensions to the mentioned Byzantine Emperor ...

The supernova coincides with the Great Schism, also to be postponed by one century initially, but a millenial shift even brings us back to the supposed lifetime of the anointed saviour. Was the schism an unsolved dispute, partly on that extra "sun"? It might have been the trigger for the medieval Trojan War ...

Julius Caesar

According to mainstream history, on the Ides of March in 44 BC, dictator Julius Caesar got assassinated in a conspiracy led by Cassius Longinus & Junius Brutus, respectively the son-in-law & son of the dictator's mistress: His Last Words refer to that relationship. Namesake Brutus of Troy also killed his father and fled through Gaul to reach England, where he founded New Troy ...

For the Roman Empire, the future dictator had conquered Gaul, home to the Celts: Their territory stretched from Galicia, over Galatia, along Galich, to Wales, as Abraham Ortelius seems to have mapped. They celebrated Yule during the twelve days following the winter solstice & Anatoly Fomenko translates "Julius" as "Sunny": After his assassination, the dictator got venerated as "Son of the Divine". The feasts of Saturnalia & Sol Invictus are also situated around the date of Christmas ...

He returned to Rome in triumph, as if it was Palm Sunday, where he finally became dictator. He reformed the calendar, the Julian replaced the Roman: A civil year now contained 365 days & the leap year was introduced to keep track with the length of a tropical year. A quite accurate approach, though the Gregorian correction seemed necessary: 1582 AD misses ten days ...

A bit odd, cause calculations lead to one extra day for nearly 128 years, so ten days only bring us back to emperor Constantinus Magnus, who decided Sunday should be the last day of the week. It inspired Heribert Illig & according to the New Chronology he is just a double of emperor Octavianus Augustus, as are Constantius Chlorus & Julius Caesar: The "green" & the "young" might have a similar meaning ...

Their research is refuted by career historians, claiming the goal was to get into accordance with the usual dates around the period of the Council of Nicaea. However, the Easter Book tells us that event should have taken place at least a few centuries later, as Florin Diacu confirmed: Scaliger was working around 1582 AD, did his research & the reform influence each other? That's right, it might be coincidental, but his father bore the name Julius Caesar ...

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?

Great Wall

As protection against raging nomads from the Eurasian Steppes, Chinese Emperors deployed labour forces to build qualitative fortifications. Alas, it didn't stop some invading hordes conquering the country: Qin, the first dynasty of the united empire, initiated the project, while Qing, the last dynasty in that empire, crossed it to take power overthere. Manchuria is a region in Chinese Tartary, whereof cartographer John Cary drew the borders:

• The border with China follows the path of the Ming Wall
• The border with Russia is according the Treaty of Nerchinsk

Before Pugachev's Rebellion it seemed to belong to Great Tartary, together with Siberia & Turkestan, but Crimea was known as the distinguished Little Tartary: Were they even earlier united as one Tartary? On its borders with Persia, near the Caspian Sea, we also find walls:

• Near Gorgan on its eastern shore
• Near Derbent on its western shore

Dhu Al-Qarnayn or Alexander the Great might have built them to isolate Gog of Magog: In the Tartarus, where Giants are buried? In England, Gogmagog was killed by a companion of Brutus of Troy, as Goliath fell ...

Throughout Europe, the supposed descendants of Aeneas of Troy constructed the Roman Limes to keep nomadic tribes outside the empire, ranging from the Black Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, with the following extremities:

• Trajan's Wall to keep the Scythians out
• Hadrian's Wall to keep the Scots out

Did all those fortifications act as fences between a Heartland of a world-empire & the first parts of a separating Rimland?

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 ...

Mongol Empire

In my former post, I mentioned the existence of a world-empire before it collapsed into the world-economy we know today. Our mainstream history teaches us the existence of such an empire near the end of the Middle Ages, the greatest one ever existing, the Mongol Empire.

Mainstream history describes the Mongols as being a bunch of nomadic tribes roaming around Tartary, using bow & arrow in conflict while riding horses. Once united under Temujin, in about 20 years they managed to conquer a territory ranging over the Eurasian Steppes between the Caspian & Japanese Sea. The following 50 years, their offspring added more parts of Russia, Persia & China to the realm, resulting in the greatest world-empire ever conquered on landmasses. Horses might allow a quick conquest, but how did nomads adapt so quickly to change their lifestyle from cattle-breeders to empire-managers?

Initially they lacked a real capital, but later Ögedei upgraded Karakorum. Today we find Erdene Zuu Khiid on the spot, but remnants of the former city are almost absent: Where are the foundations of the Silver Tree & Great Palace on the meadow?

For example, in Rome, another capital of a former world-empire, we find much more remnants, supposed to be much older. I would rather expect the opposite, so is that remote spot in Mongolia the real location of their former capital?

The conquest went smooth until the battle of Ain Jalut: The smaller Mamluk Sultanate pushed the greater Mongol Empire back. According to mainstream history this was a turning point in the conquest & must have felt as king David defeated giant Goliath again, or was that story just a tale?

The reason for the pushback was the war about the succession of Möngke, resulting in the partitioning of the world-empire. Although Kublai was successful in claiming the throne, the central authority over the different parts was waning, especially in the most remote region of the Golden Horde. The transfer of the capital to Khanbaliq only contributed to the defragmentation of the greatest world-empire ...
