roman comedian Plautus played Hannibal Barca, the grim punic general...

 i couldnt find a good movie about Plautus, but have the wikia info a few pics below, in case you didnt pay attention during history lesson... above you can see a skit of a 70s BBC comedy series called "up pompeii"...i´m not sure if they used any of plautus´s jokes but at least they wear funny togas, roman attire, to help you imagine how it must have been back in those days... we all learned about Hannibal Barca in school, a great punic leader who threatened the roman empire, since carthago was very close to sicily, on todays northern coast of africa... (a phoenician / punic settlement, which later, after the glory of tyre, byblos etc had faded, would become the main capital of this sea-trading nation)...

 we all know the story how hannibal tried to cross the alps with war-elephants, trying to conquer rome, but ultimately failed...this is mundane history...also an important thing to learn, but in my blog we specialize not in the exoteric, but esoteric...look above the faces of both the roman comedian, sailor, and miller (he is said to have worked in a mill)... all really similar...in most pictures plautus wears the typical hannibal beard, and both men have the intense grim stare...

 hannibal barca 90° and plautus 45°... the same face... there is nothing new under the sun...make no mistake, these aristocratic families of old controlled all empires on the face of the planet at the same time...playing diffrent roles..as emperors..

 we can see even the ears are identical..thank g-d for the great skill of ancient greek and roman artists, sculptors etc... they also made many amazing mosaics...out of tiny marble pieces...

 there are clues evrywhere, we just have to be careful enough to follow up on them...this whole system of "shushu kishuff" goes as far back as nimrod and semiramis, who started the first babylonian empire after the flood...even the first egyptian pharao is called "narmer"...that sounds like "namer" hebrew for leopard...and nimrod always is pictured as a hunter with leopard skin apron... but Plautus and hannibal lived around 200 BC thats much later in history...in terms of historic timeframe, 2000 years is not much...

 my database now has better search options for names as well as birthdates...i should soon find many more matches of ancient history...the newer comparisons are almost too easy to do... just take any emperor, tzar or caesar...and compare him to his counter-tzar in some other country a couple hundred or thousand miles away.. they always look alike... they play tzar one month here, then one month elsewhere.. and so it goes on and on...

 the wikipedia for both men...

 that one was really easy.....

 even a 3year old could have found this one...

 if you have both ears visible in broad daylight.... cant get any easier than that...

some comedic works of plautus... back in those days, comedic theatre was mostly played with masks, wearing a toga, with sharpwitted dialogues...many modern comedians like the three stooges, charlie chaplin, or israeli "hagashash hahiver" (remember the sketch "the telephone") applied a very similar style...
