The Matrix of Ancient History

The Dionysus child in the arms of a nymph
from:
Henri Stierlin
The Roman Empire
Köln 1996, 43

Wall painting from an ancient villa of the Farnesina in Rome.
Supposedly "Augustan age".
In fact, at the earliest it has to be set at the beginning of the 18th century.

The philological principle of devocalization

For the purpose of philological and historical analysis you have to free the words from its vowels.
In ancient times only the consonants were important (like f.e. in Hebrew language).

Examples:

Troja, TROJAM ( always take the accusative case, because it is most used) = Troy

These letters freed of vowels can be revocalized with any vowels.

Example:

TRM = TERRAM, terra = earth, land

The three consonants can also be read backwards:

TRM > MRT

Revocalized it results for example:

MRT = MORTEM, mors = death

MRT = MARTYREM, martyr = martyr

Another important example:

America, AMERICAM = MRCM = MARCUM, Marcus = Mark (Saint Mark)

See the article The origin of the name America.

The theme of ancient history

Doubts about history

History as knowledge may arouse conflicting feelings. Man perhaps thinks of dusty archives, old walls and pretentious museum halls. - From history as a branch in school most people may have bad memories such as meaningless memorization of dates and insignificant contents. - And history per se seems to be a series of atrocities, with only a few bright spots.

Then there are and witticisms and bonmots about history. It is said that history proves that people will never learned nothing from history. - And from historians they say that they are backward-looking prophets.

One may ask, if pursuing history makes any sense at all.

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote an excellent viewing Vom Nutzen und Nachteil der Historie für das Leben (The Use and Abuse of History for Life), criticizing history as a matter hostile to life. Would not it be better to abolish this field of knowledge at all? - The famous auto pioneer Henry Ford commented briefly: History is bunk.

Figure 4: The Arch of Triumph of Septimius Severus
at the Roman Forum in Rome

Sketch by Claude Lorrain

This sketch shows the Arch of Triumph of Septimius Severus at the Roman Forum in Rome. Note the Capitol Hill in the background.

What is intriguing is that the arch stands in the water. How did this happen? Was Rome hit by a catastrophic flood at a certain time?

Additionally, Lorrain shows the arch with only one passage, instead of three.

Lorrain's sketch is to be put in the 1760s (revised dating)..

*************************************

Figure 5: The Gallo-Roman temple I on the Enge peninsula in Berne
with the Giles Chapel

Graphics: author

On this map we see a medieval gothic chapel superimposed on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman quadrangular temple.

The time gap between the ancient and the medieval structure, however, is to be considered small - between one or two decades.

The Giles chapel was demolished after about 1760 - 1770 (revised dating).

Figure 6: Plan-comparison between the Pantheon in Rome (above)
and the Teatro Marittimo in Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli (below)

from: Henri Stierlin: The Roman Empire; Köln 1996, 154, 174

The two circular buildings have the same diameter. So they are to be considered built at the same period.

*************************************************

Figure 7: The so-called Arch of Titus in Rome

Painting by Gaspar Van Wittel, end of the 18th century

from: Luigi Salerno: I pittori di vedute in Italia; Roma 1991, 80

The picture represents the old aspect of the triumphal arch, before its restoration in 1820.

Figure 8: Rome: Cityscape of Giambattista Falda, "1676" (detail),

The illustration is to be set towards 1790, not in "1676"

*****************************************

Figure 9: Map of Pompeii

Graphics: author

This rough drawing of the town of Pompeii shows a sort of urbanoglyph, a hidden image behind the apparent structure: The older town (brown) represents the head of a dog. The new town (blue) shows clearly a fish with the amphitheatre as mouth. The net structure of the city streets symbolizes a fisherman's net. - Pompeii had at its time access to the sea (left on this map), it was a seaside city, like Naples or Troy.

*****************************************************

Figure 10: Still life of Pompeian or Italian Renaissance: Villa in Oplontis in Pompeii: Fig basket (above) - Caravaggio: Fruit basket (below)

The Pompeian and Italian Renaissance coincide
and are not separated by one and a half millenia.

Figure 11: Pompeian or Italian Renaissance: Lying maenad from Pompeii (above) - Titian: Lying courtesan (below)

Caravaggio as well as Titian and Rafael were Pompeian or Renaissance artists.

Pompeii was obviously an important and very influential artistic place.

Figure 13: The Battle of Alexander. Mosaic from Pompeii (sketch, detail)

from: Houses and Monuments of Pompeii; Los Angeles 2002, 115

This monumental mosaic, discovered in a Pompeian villa in 1831,
is considered to be an ancient Greek work of art.

But comparisons with the Bernese artist Schilling (below)
and famous artists like Rafael prove that this is an artistic work of the Renaissance.

********************************************

Figure 14 A: The battle of Jammertal (Bern)

Aquarelle from the chronicle of Diebold Schilling, Berne.

In this and other battle scenes the unknown artist shows a strong resemblance, in its composition as well as in its many details, with the mosaic of Alexander in Pompeii.

Did the Renaissance artists work in Pompeii?

*****************************************

Figure 14 B: Comparison details between
The battle of Laupen by Schilling (left)
and the battle of Alexander from Pompeii (right)

These details prove the strong resemblance between ancient and Renaissance art.

*****************************************

Figure 15: Facade comparison between the Gothic cathedral of Famagusta in Cyprus (left) and the Gothic cathedral of Reims (right)

The two edifices have a strong resemblance and are probably designed by the same architect.
It shows that Cyprus was still in Western hands in the 1760s.

Figure 17: Strasburg in Alsace with his Munster
in a figure from the chronicle of Hartmann Schedel (detail)

This is allegedly the oldest illustrated printed chronicle ("1493 AD" = around 1750/1760).
Even then it shows the actual aspect of the Gothic cathedral of this city
with only one completed steeple.

********************************************

Figure 18: The Gothic monastery Notre-Dame d'Isova
on Morea (Peloponnese)

Reconstruction design, colored by the author.

from: Antoine Bon, La Morée franque; Paris 1969, 543

This is a nice example of "late medieval" gothic monastery architecture, to be set around 1760.
This monument proves that the Peloponnesus was still dominated by the West at this time.

**************************************

Figure 19: The Acropolis of Athens in a photo from 1865

View from West.

from: Haris Ylakoumis: L’Acropole d’Athènes. Photographies 1839 – 1959; Paris 2000, 223.

Photo colored by the author.

The so-called tower of the Franks left of the Propylaea is noteworthy,
and was later demolished by Schliemann.

Fomenko recalls that the masonry of the tower of the Franks has an identical appearance
as that of the surrounding Propylaea and the Nike Temple:
The "medieval" tower and the buildings of "classical Greek" antiquity
were constructed at the same period.

***********************************************

Figure 20: The remaining columns
of the Olympieion in Athens

from: Hanns Holdt: Griechenland; Berlin 1928, 159

Photo colored by the author.

In the opinion of the author, this is Roman architecture of the Crusader period
and dated in the first half of the 18th century.

The Olympieion was probably never completed.

*****************************************

Figure 21: Comparison plan: Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) (top)
and the Mosque of Sultan Suleiman
the Magnificent (Suleymaniye) (below) in Constantinople - Istanbul

from: Henri Stierlin: Türkei; Köln 2002, 126, 127

The comparison between these two most important sacred buildings of Istanbul
clearly demonstrates the strong resemblance between old Christian art
and the beginnings of Islamic architecture.

*******************************

Figure 22: Knight hall in Gothic style
in the Crusader castle Krak des Chevaliers in Syria

from: Die Levante; Köln 1998, 282

According to official opinion, this is "late Gothic style in the 13th century AD".

We have to accept that the Levante and Syria was dominated by the West up to the 1760s.

So the Gothic style is set in the middle of the 18th century.

****************************************

Figure 23: The Marble Lion of Stavros (Kantza) near Athens

From: Hans Rupprecht Goette: Athen - Attika - Megaris; Köln 1993

Colored by the author.

Almost all monuments in Athens and Attica are attributed to classical Greek culture.
However, we consider this lion a work from the "medieval" Crusader era.

*******************************************

Figure 24; The re-erected Lion of Chaeronea (Heronia)
in Boeotia (Viotia), Greece

from: Martin Hürlimann: Ewiges Griechenland.
Ein Schau- und Lesebuch; Zürich 1977

Colored by the author.

This is certainly a lion monument of the Crusader era.

Note that three battles were set near Heronia between the antiquity and the Middle Ages:

"338 AC": Defeat of the Greeks against Philipp of Macedonia

"86 AC": Victory of Sulla over Mithridates of Pontus

"1311 AD": Defeat of the Franks against the Catalans (battle at the river Kephissos)

Which event was this lion erected for?

from: Uwe Albrecht: Von der Burg zum Schloss. Französische Schlossbaukunst im Spätmittelalter; Worms 1986

The plan comparison clearly shows that these two buildings have an identical blueprint and are probably built by the same architect.

*******************************************

Figure 26 A: The round tower (Donjon) of Coucy (Aisne)

The tower was deliberately demolished by the German army in 1917.

Photo from 1891

from: Christian Corvisier: Coucy-le-Château, images et mémoire; Soissons 1999, p. 56

This impressive donjon (main tower) shows a Gothic interior and originally had four pinnacles on top of the roof. It is considered a work of late castle architecture, to be set around the middle of the 18th century.

*********************************************************

Figure 26 B: Reconstruction sketch of the top of the donjon of Coucy-le-Château (Aisne)

from: Ch. Corvisier, Coucy-le-Château, 43

Note the Gothic pinnacles that embellished the crown of the tower.

Aerial view from the south-west

from: Ehud Netzer: Die Paläste der Hasmonäer und Herodes' des Grossen; Mainz 2001, 91

The Herodion is to be considered a built visualization of Vesuvius and its religion, dominating the ancient world and early Middle Ages.

*******************************************

Figure 28: Comparison between the Roman Forum of Gerasa (Jerash) in Jordan and St. Peter's Square in Rome

from: internet

The comparison between these two places shows that St. Peter's Square in Rome (revised dating: around 1790) was influenced by the oriental Roman building. The time gap between these two monuments is to estimated no more than half a century.

*************************************************

Figure 29: "Medieval" Illumination: Duc de Berry: Les très riches heures: Paris (detail)

This detail is taken from the Calendar Gallery of Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry, in the month of June.

We see in the background some buildings of Paris: the town hall (left) and la Sainte Chapelle (right).

Here Paris is a Gothic - built city, just before its later architectural transformations.

The illumination is to be set around 1760 - 1770 - neither earlier nor later.

******************************************

Figure 30: Decoration of Villard de Honnecourt: cheek of a choir stall

Villard is considered an artist from the "13th century AD".
However his drawings clearly show a Gothic style with some early baroque elements.
To be set between 1760 - 1770.

********************************************

Figure 31: Gold coins with portraits of Emperor Vespasianus (top)
and Titus (below)

from: Kaiser Roms im Münzporträt; Stuttgart o.J. (2003), 25, 27

The Great Action first postulated one Vesuvian emperor VESPASIANUS TITUS with a reign of 12 years. - After some time, an emperor TITUS VESPASIANUS was created with a reign of 2 years (Vespasianus 10 years). The portraits of the two emperors however are in fact indistinguishable and show the "unnatural" splitting of one person in two.

**********************************************

Figure 32: The Castle of Noli on the Riviera di Ponente (Italy)

Photo: author, 7.1991

Like countless other watch towers and castles on the Mediterranean shores of Spain, France and Italy, these fortifications are protection from the menace of Saracen pirates in North Africa, especially around Tunis.

The Saracens of the 18th century, however, figure in ancient Roman history as the Punics or Carthaginians from Tunis.

Remastered by the author

Note that the two lists of rulers are sometimes overlapping and not always congruent. However, the parallels of all major kings and events are evident. They are made from the same textbook of history.

*****************************************************

Figure 34: Mosaic medallion from Hinton Saint-Mary (Dorset - England)

(British Museum)

At the center is a portrait of Christ without a beard, on the background of a chi and rho and flanked by two pomegranates.

A portrait of Jesus Christ in a mosaic of the Late Roman Empire embarrasses historians: Was the "pagan" Roman culture in fact a Christian one?

*******************************************

Figure 35: Monumental head of a bishop from the Bernese sculptures fund

from: Bildersturm; Zürich 2000, 319

This expressive portrait of a bishop was mutilated and thrown into a filling of a platform in Berne

after the Reformation. - When was this event? - After the years "1520", or around 1760?

*********************************************

Figure 36: Lion relief in the form of a coat of arms of Acre (Israel)

Found and exposed in Saint-Jean-d'Acre (Akko), Israel

This is French style of the Crusader era. - According to the author, it is to be set in the middle of the 18th century.

After his defeat Spartacus and his followers are crucified on the Via Appia between Naples and Rome.

Jesus of Nazareth

The most eminent saviour in Christianism, but not the only one. His life is a duplicate of the Vita Caesaris (Francesco Carotta).

Jesus is born in an ox stable in Bethlehem near Jerusalem = Velletri near Rome.

His parents are of humble descendence.

Note the name Nazareth = Saint Nazaire (France).

Jesus started his religious activity at the age of 30.

His elder companion John the Baptist is later decapitated.

Jesus accomplishes a lot of miracles, but is suspected of striving for the title of King of Jerusalem (see Julius Caesar).

Jesus becomes victim of a conspiracy, is stabbed to death (see Julius Caesar), but ascended afterwards to heaven.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar is the alter ego of Jesus of Nazareth or vice versa (Francesco Carotta).

Hildebrand was allegedly born in Tuscany, entered Rome as a monk in 1049 on the Aventine Hill.

He started his religious activity in 1053 AD at the age of 33, accompanied by a comet in 1054.

Elected pope in 1073 he challenged the Roman emperor Henry IV in 1076.

Hildebrand is considered to be a great reformer of the Roman church, but also a sinister person: “holy Satan”.

Note his German name ("golden burning"). Perhaps he was from Germany and Italianized later.

At the end of his life he is besieged in Rome, freed by the Normans and abducted to Southern Italy where he died in Salerno. – No notices about his death.

Table 9: Conquests of Rome (Troy, Jerusalem, Samaria, Naples, Byzance, Athens, Ravenna, Constantinople)

City	Remarks
1187 AC: Troy The Achaeians (Greeks) from the West conquer and destroy the well fortified seaside city of Troy after nearly a ten year siege. Other dates for the fall of Troy: 1255 AC, 1209 AC, 1186 AC	An archetypical conquest of Rome. Note the Trojan end number 7. The Trojan War is the main blueprint for the matrix of old history.
722 AC: Samaria The Assyrian king Shalmaneser conquers Samaria, the capital of the sub-kingdom of Israel after a siege of three years and deports the inhabitants. This is the end of the Kingdom of Israel.	SAMARIA = SANCTA MARIA An absolute parallel to the conquest of Jerusalem in 587 AC with a difference of 135 ( 3 x 45) years
587 AC: Jerusalem The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar conquers Jerusalem and deports the whole population to Mesopotamia. This is the beginning of the 70-year Babylonian captivity of the Jews. End of the sub-kingdom of Judah.	A duplication of the conquest of Samaria 135 years before. Note the Trojan end number 7. The conquest took place on the 9th of Aw of the Jewish calendar (see the conquest of Jerusalem at the 9th of Aw in 70 AD).
507 AC: Rome King Porsenna from Clusium conquers Rome, but soon leaves the city.	PORSENNA = PRS = PERSIA CLUSIUM = CHRISTUM, Christ Note the Trojan end number 7.
480 AC: Athens During the Persan war from 490 - 480 AC the city of Athens is conquered at the end of the war, but soon liberated after the naval victory of Salamis.	Duration of Persan war: 10 years (like the Trojan war) Troy is conquered either at the beginning or at the end of the Trojan war. The Persians conquer the city of Eritrea at the beginning of the war.
387 AC: Rome The Gauls, under their leader Brennus, conquer Rome, but not the Capitol. They withdraw after payment of a ransom (Vae victis!).	An antique prefiguration of the conquests of Rome by the French in the late Middle Ages. Note the Trojan end number 7.
364 AC: Byzantium King Philipp II of Macedonia conquers the well fortified seaside city on the Golden Horn.	An antique parallel to the well known conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Both the Macedonians and the Turks come from Thrace (TRC).
332 AC: Tyre Alexander the Great on his campaign against Persia conquers the city after a siege of seven months.	Tyre = TRM = TROJAM, Troy Note the Troy-number 7.
49 AC: Rome Triumphant entry of Julius Caesar in Rome after coming from Gaul and crossing the river Eridanus (Po) = Jordan = Rubicon	An absolute parallel to the triumphant entry of Jesus in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ = Julius Caesar
70 AD: Jerusalem Titus Vespasianus, Vespasian's son, conquers Jerusalem at the end of a Jewish uprising. He deports the inhabitants and takes away the Temple's treasures.	The conquest takes place on the 9th of Aw (see Jerusalem in 587 AC). Titus organizes a great triumph in Rome (Arch of Titus). "Judah is now in Rome!"
115 AD: Jerusalem Emperor Trajan extinguishes a Jewish uprising and conquers Jerusalem.	45 years after Titus' conquest of Jerusalem.
133 or 135: Jerusalem Emperor Hadrian extinguishes a Jewish uprising under their leader Bar Kochba = son of the stars. Jerusalem is completely destroyed. In place of the Temple, Hadrian constructs a temple for Jupiter. Jerusalem is rebuilt under the name AELIA CAPITOLINA = divine Golgotha.	An obvious duplication of Trajan's conquest of Jerusalem, due to the splitting of Trajan - Hadrian for the single person of Solomon.
196: Byzantium Emperor Septimius Severus conquers the city of Byzance after a siege of three years from his former opponent Pescennius Niger. Byzance is destroyed, but then rebuilt after the intercession of his son Caracalla.	An absolute parallel to the conquest of Ravenna by Theodoric the Great: two barbarian rulers, a seaside city, a three-year siege.
410: Rome Alaric and his Visigoths conquer and plunder Rome.	An archetypical barbaric conquest of Rome. A shattering event for the whole Late Roman Empire (see Orosius, Augustine). 900 (20 x 45) years after the end of the Regal Rome (510 AC).
455: Rome The Vandals from Tunis, under their leader Genseric, land in Ostia, conquer and plunder Rome.	Note the interval of 45 years after Alaric's conquest of Rome.
493: Ravenna Theodoric the Great, king of the Ostrogoths, conquers the seaside city of Ravenna after a siege of three years from the barbarian ruler Odoacer. Theodoric first accepts Odoacer as co-ruler, then kills him.	An absolute parallel to the conquest of Byzance by Septimius Severus: two barbarian rulers, a seaside city, a three-year siege.
500: Rome Theodoric, the king of the Ostrogoths in Italy, visits Rome and stays there for several months. The king's residence is on the Palatine hill and he offers games in the Circus Maximus.	Note the interval of 45 years after Genseric's conquest of Rome. The visit of a barbarian king in Rome is in reality a conquest. Some similarities to the Trojan legend: Theodoric's palace on a hill near Troy, the games in the Circus Maximus.
536: Neaples The orthodox Greeks, coming from Sicily, conquer Naples from the Arian Ostrogoths. A trick (an aequeduct) is used to take the well fortified seaside city.	A classic variety of the legend of Troy = Neaples at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a well fortified seaside city, the invaders coming from an island (Sicily = Tenedus), Greeks versus Trojans, the trick (the Trojan horse = aqua ducta > equus ductus > drawn by a horse). Here the conquest of the city happens at the beginning of the Trojan (Gothic) war.
545: Rome The Ostrogoths under king Totila conquer Rome, but can't take Castel Sant'Angelo, defended by Paul from Cilicia (!). The assailants are then forced to leave the city.	45 years after the Theodoric's visit in Rome The takings of Rome in 410, 455, 500 and 545 have the same numerological intervals. A parallel to the German taking of Rome by the Roman-German Emperor Henry IV (1081 - 1084). Note the presence of Paul the Apostle.
637: Jerusalem The Arabs or Persians conquer Jerusalem from the Byzantines.	Note the Trojan end number 7.
996: Rome The young Roman-German Emperor Otto III conquers Rome from the Nationalists under John Crescentius.	Note the similarity with the arrival of Julius Caesar in Rome and of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. Otto III is in fact a Christian saviour.
1081 - 1084: Rome The Roman-German emperor Henry IV assaults Rome for three (!) years and finally conquers the city. However, he can't take Castel Sant'Angelo, where his opponent, Pope Gregory VII - Hildebrand hides. The Normans from Southern Italy liberate the pope, but plunder the city at the same time.	A classic German = barbaric conquest of Rome. Even the Ostrogoths couldn't take Castel Sant'Angelo in 546. Septimius Severus (a barbarian) besieges Byzance for three years; the same Theodoric the Great (a barbarian) also besieges Ravenna for three years.
1099: Jerusalem The army of the Western crusaders conquer Jerusalem after an invasion (or a siege?) of three years. Bloodshed by the crusaders among the Jews and Arabs follows the conquest. The Holy City was taken on the 9th of Aw in the Jewish calendar.	A numerological Jesus-conquest: 99 (3 x 33) A three-year barbarian attack (see Septimius Severus, Theodoric the Great, Henry IV) Troy: The invaders come from the West, bloodshed follows the conquest. The date of 9th of Aw: The Jerusalem conquests of 587 AC and 70 AD
1167: Rome Frederick I Barbarossa conquers Rome, but is forced to leave the city due to pestilence in his army.	Frederick I Barbarossa captured Rome for the first time in 1154. A clear parallel to the siege of Samaria by the Assyrian king Phul or Tul. Barbarossa = an Assyrian, a Barbarian Note the Trojan end number 7. The pestilence is part of the Trojan matrix.
1187: Jerusalem Sultan Saladin conquers Jerusalem from the Crusaders after his victory in the battle of Hittim (hebrew: chi'tsim = arrows).	A numerological mirror-image to the fall of Troy in 1187 AC
1202: Constantinople A western crusader army under Venetian rule conquer in an amphibian operation from Sicily the city of Constantinople and install the Latin Kingdom of the Bosporus.	666 years after the Byzantinian conquest of Naples (also in an amphibian operation from Sicily) Historians criticized this enterprise as an abuse of the Crusade idea. - In fact it is an authentic conquest of Troy.
1267: Rome and Naples Charles of Anjou, a brother of the French king, conquers, on agreement with the pope, the cities of Rome and Neaples and annihilates the dynasty of Hohenstaufen in Italy.	100 years after the German conquest of Rome by Frederick I Barbarossa. The French are the orthodox Byzantinians. Note that here Rome and Naples are taken simultanously. Charles of ANJOU (Jou/An > JOSUA) is a parallel to the biblical Josua.
1453: Constantinople The Turks under their leader Mehmet (Mahomet) II (= Philip II of Macedonia) conquer the city and end the Byzantine Empire.	400 years after the beginning of Hildebrand's activity in Rome. An absolute parallel to the ancient conquest of Byzantium by the Macedonians. Like in Troy, the survivors flee by sea to the West and initiate the Renaissance. The conquest of Jericho in the biblical book of Josua is maybe a reflection of this event (see the trombones = canons).
1494: Rome The French King Charles VIII conquers Rome with 8000 Swiss soldiers, in the next year he also conquers Naples. In Naples the invaders are forced to leave due to pestilence, the famous mal de Naples.	The motive of the attack was the enforcing of throne claims by the house of Anjou to Naples. This conquest is a prefiguration of the Sacco di Roma in 1527.
1527: Rome The Germans = Goths (Barbarians) under their leader Georges of Frunsberg conquer and plunder Papal Rome. This is the famous "sacco di Roma". This event marks the end of the Italian Renaissance.	33 (the age of Jesus) years after the French conquest of Rome in 1494, 360 years afters Barbarossa's conquest of Rome. Note the Trojan end number 7. The Sacco di Roma represents a Renaissance variation of Alaric's conquest of Rome in 410 AD.
