No.

Logging out now. I’ll try to find a few hints that won’t give him away too easily. And thanks for the link to Max Havelaar!

You found him right away! The aswer is indeed The Great Belzoni, cirkus giant and explorer. Very well done!

I have read quite a lot about egyptology during the last 42 years, so with this hint it was no wonder that the "Patagonian Samson" came to my mind.

I'll come up with a new one later.

Ah, that explains why one single hint was enough. Anyway, I hoped I could use at least one more of your previous hints before you found him:

He was full of ideas (including hydraulics).

(Actually at a point I believed Belzoni was the answer to your last one. That’s why I asked if he died in Benin.)

I remember now that Belzoni went to West-Africa towards the end of his life and died there of dysentery.

The "ideas" referred to Multatuli's Ideeën.

I had not realized that some hints on Multatuli wouldapplyto Belzoni as well

A new one: Real person, Male, Deceased.
