I've not used a version of Prolog written in Forth, so can't comment on it,
but Prolog is not a variant of Forth, per se.  According to "Prolog:  A
Relational Language and its Applications" by John Malpas, the first Prolog
was written in Fortran, not Forth, in 1973 by Colmerauer and Roussel.  I know
that the first Prolog that I used was C-Prolog.
