After getting a taste of rape and pillage the acheans went on a rampage. The real reason probably for odysseus' journey was to pirate around the seas before going home. Myceane tired of a decade of war lost it's power to control the rest of the Greeks layed week against the hunger of less wealthy neighbours to the west and north.

Homer's Secret Iliad: The Epic of the Night Skies Decoded Hardcover - January 1, 1999 by Florence Wood (Author), Kenneth Wood (Author) Homer's Secret Odyssey Paperback - September 1, 2011 by Florence Wood (Author), Kenneth Wood (Author) The extraordinary story of the breaking of an Ancient Greek code Homer is renowned as the finest of the storytellers who for countless generations passed down by word of mouth the myths and legends of Ancient Greece. Yet, for some 2,500 years, there have been persistent folk memories that his genius extended far beyond literature and that scientific knowledge was hidden in his stories of heroes, villains, gods, ghosts, monsters, and witches. Research now reveals that at a time when the Greeks did not have a written script, Homer concealed an astonishing range of learning about calendar making and cycles of the sun, moon, and planet Venus in the Odyssey, his epic of the Fall of Troy and the adventures of the warrior-king Odysseus www.researchgate.net/figure/Cycladic-frying-pan-that-has-a-calendar-based-on-Venus-synodic-period-and-the-period-of_fig3_279511854

The brainwashing is coming to completion. So you got a book with a title written in a language that can be read and by a person who has a name that authored it in comparison to theories. Great logic

A moose doesn't care that you're in a truck. They do have the strength to flip the truck.

I got added to the mythos as symbolism, it's complete destruction but also because Carthage became great because of it's food exports before it was force to relly on Silver from Spain after the First Punic war.

Famous quote, (maybe Aldous Huxley?), "The Iliad was written either by Homer, or by someone else in the same time frame who was also named Homer."

Paris was a guest of the Greeks before making off with Helen so there was a good relation with Troy before the war.

I thought elephants could bore you with their tusks? And their elaborate anecdotes?

Quiete simple though? There arent Egyptians there, only Arabs.

BRVTVS of Troy and his son Albani,Brutothrum->Butrint 🦅🇦🇱🦅 is the Troy

🦅🇦🇱🦅 Troy

They never could read hieroglyphs. The y did not build anything in Egypt. They just found everything. The building had been done hundreds of thousands of years before there were any Egyptians. So how could they stop being able to read something that came millennia before they even existed?

A standing army implies that it's professional, which doesn't have to be the case. It could be that the king of this proto state had a trained army numbering hundreds of people, but that these generally were still farmers, but with training, that could be called upon. That would be similar to how armies were raised in later germanic/viking societies. But to control this army trying to overthrow him, the king would keep hold of the weapons. Hence the large amount of weapons associated with these burials.

this is what I have always said....the siege is right at the beginning of the Bronze Age Collapse........I think that's WHY the story was so important to the Greeks....so they could remember the Before Time

Buuuuut, does the early village/city-style settlements that shows up a bit later, have temples? My impression is that they don't. Meaning that cities and temples actually was separate developments.

There is Hittite correspondence with a King in the region and it also talks about the Greeks and conflicts within the area. Also Alexander believed this was Troy because one of the first things he did after crossing over was visit Troy. So there is some evidence pointing to this city.

Damn you Roman!!

How do we know it isn’t a similar art style? Like if you’re carving a realistic depiction of an older man’s head, he’s gonna look like that. Realism isn’t a culturally exclusive style.

i have no problem believing that other civilizations sailed to the Americas either on purpose or by accident .

About 1993

And dont forget Dhiarrea is faster than the speed of light 😂

No ,this is not April fool video.is true.just like the fact that my grandma a panamenian native build up the piramyd of Giza and after that discovered Eurasia😂😂😂

Why do you use terms like ''boring''? For children, that`s not helpful. Think about your headlines.

About 20 - 30 years after inventing beer ??

The flood

I did come across this article once, where the author suggested that Sygarius referring to himself as Rex was the excuse Clovis needs, since that meant he was no longer part of the Empire and was basically a usurper at that point. I don't recall the source but it does seem reasonable.

Definitely Greece ???

So the ability to read hieroglyphs disappeared when the white people disappeared from Egypt, and the ability to read hieroglyphs returned when white people returned. Kind of like how Rameses had red hair and built pyramids, Attila the Hun had red hair but the Chinese pyramids stopped being built when red-haired people disappeared from China, and the ability to build pyramids also disappeared in South America along with the disappearance of the blonde mummies found there. In a related pattern, the Stone Age ended with the arrival of Europeans in North America, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Since the Stone Age had ended about 4,000 years earlier in the developed world, and 4,000 years wasn't long enough for the other places to catch up, it's probable that they never would have caught up.

Royal Arms of England are likely panthers and not lions because of the pose. Heraldically speaking lions are not posed or grouped as such as its seen beneath their nobility.

They should send the Oak Island guys in there to find the treasure that is the city.

A more interesting question to me is - *Why didn't we start farming during the Eemian Interglacial?* (120,000BC) it was so much warner in that period that Scandinavia was an island. So why didn't agricultural civilization begin then? @TheFallofRome

My dude….that’s not Roman; that’s the head of an Irishman, probably a Christian mission monk, wearing either a broken mitre or a traditional Irish beehive cap.

The myth of Warrior Women is just that, a myth. What academics like to do is take examples of outliers and over-inflate those outliers for their own academic career purposes and agendas. Anyone who ever did time in any military (for me it was the US) knows that women are inferior warriors in every single category. The IDF even came out about 10 years ago saying their female infantry program has been a total disaster. Because of Hollywood where we see women effortlessly whooping guys asses, this has created a very dangerous delusion in the minds of women and in the minds of, dare I say, "beta males" who have no experience with violence. It's very easy to succumb to ideas when you've never seen what really happens when women are pit against men. It always ends in women losing, and losing badly. Our physiology and psychology are totally different. Women cannot adapt to shock like men. You can even test the theory on female family members and friends and male family members or friends. Have them do a task and then do something that shocks them like pop a balloon or do something that surprises them, the men will recover from the shock far faster because it won't effect their emotions as extremely as it does for women. So no, I don't believe the Scythians had women warriors, I think there may have been a few who were most likely body guards for female nobility. But do I think they were going to war along with men? No.

Troy was a greco-hittite city state Not tough to figure out The war with agamemnon and friends prolly happened, but it most likely didn't last as long as homer said

The buried ruins of Troy are the same found everywhere. It's possible that they were all devastated at the same time and history as we know it is a constructed narrative. Research meltology Thanks for the video!

Wasnt a large Plain/beach was supposed to be at the base of the city of Troy? There was a large plain/beach below cliffs below cliffs at the south east corner of Turkish coast where it turns south to become Syria. And in terms of city names its also the first occupation site.

“Yes this IS an April fools videos”. Shame.

Dear Mike, your work is incredible. It looks to me you have gone too deep for history’s funs to understand. I will try to make it simple for people. In my knowledge these histories or epics have been started to be written in Sumerian time and followed by Hittites time and followed by Paleo-Illyrian one or Bronze era. Homer made only translation from earliest histories and changed the names. Same with religious books which were written before they were created after AD. Also the Iliad and Odyssey are based on vague real historical events and actual historical characters and also they are transpired hundreds of years before Homer even lived, so it is a history that has morphed into mythology. It is fanny that today Greeks don’t understand Homer language. This language likes more with Illyrian, Pellasgian and Messapian or Albanian today.

It makes more sense that someone might say the land was reduced to ash. Everything was burned and the land was blackened.

Yroy was also xalled ILION in the ILIAD . In ancient greek ir was WILION. The first letter W was called DIGAMA. It came in disuse later but was still in use at the time of the Trojan war. The Hittites called it WILUSA i.e. WILION The name ILIAD is the story of ( W) ILION. some say ILION was the name of the ACROPOLUS OF TROY

Most likely route is from Britain or Norway to North America. The Vikings made it to North America and were there in 1021 dated exactly from wood found cut with a Viking axe. The Vikings traded with the indigenous peoples for maybe 400 years. Also the Greeks reportedly made it earlier still by sailing into St Lawrence Bay in the period around 56AD to mine gold most likely from the Latitude referred to. Also St Lawrence bay was already known by fishing ships which caught fish in abundance there and salted them. Remember the Northern Route is shorter. Greenland is only 13 miles from Canadian territory at is closest point. We also know the Celtic Britons had very Sturdy seagoing ships made with thick oak planks and very high freeboard at least as early as 300 BC and had no trouble reaching the artic circle as documented by the Greek explorer Pytheus of Massalia who was taken to the Artic Circle and Baltic in around 325 BC by the Britons. So the Northern route is most likely and a traded item made its way south.

Long it was thought, cause the plot of the Ilias was far more heroic and heightened, that it matched to an old man, and that the not-so-noble Odyssey was just from his pupils, or similar... Nowadays, experts say, that the Odyssey is the far better one. There, Odysseus lands shipwrecked on an isle, is found half-dead, and he tells them his story. We never get a hint that he isn´t just lying, in order to soften their hearts, and it is much more intelligently constructed, like a good modern book from Goethe or Dostoevsky would be... It is the story of a modern citizen (citizens wouldn´t exist till 1450AD, 2250 years later, after the Dark Ages, when citizens slowly arose from slavery all over Europe, if you exclude classical-ancient-Greece-period), who isn´t heroic, and won´t kill for matters of honour, like Achilles does, but instead will kill, cause "guests"/strangers back home have wasted his fortune/wealth. That´s of course a far more sober view, compared with the romantic 18th-19th century view on Homer. So, it´s much more likely, that he wrote both, Ilias was his ""intiation, while the Oddyseey was the masterpiece, that many don´t understand even today (like the sudden objection of polytheism, cause of the conflict-potential showcased in the Ilias. So, in the Odyssey just Athena is relevant, a single god, and additionally, man is now emancipated. Odysseus doesn´t seem to want Athena´s help, almost shows her the middle-finger, but sometimes, he´s caught praying, and yet, despite his unsults, Athena will keep offering her help, almost like in Protestantism, which was invented 2300 years later). May bet is that the Mycene, a trade-center and Troy-competitor, wanted to get rid of troy, in whichHector´s Grandfather, Laomedon, has invented money (according to greek mythology). Since money was invented much later very near to Troy (in the intersection of Lydia, the northern half of the western Asia Minor coast, and the greek southern half of the western Asia Minor coast, by Lydians and Greeks, barely 100miles to the south of Troy, to the times of the Lydian king Croesus). The Trojans must have invented some preliminary form of money and numismatic, and the Greeks needed to get the know-how, by war if needed. In the beginning iron-age, Lydia conquered the lands of Troy. That "money" was actually/historically invented nearby, by cooperating Greeks and Lydians, at least 200-250 years AFTER the greek myth about the "trojan king Laomedon inventing money" was written (and after his death, the Greeks conquered his city, and killed his son and grandson), is proof, that there´s something true in the Ilias.

Roman artifacts in Mexico is not a new concept. We encountered the reports when we were there in the mid 70s. Lot of possibilities besides a hoax, but it’s indeed possibly pre Colombian. We know the Romans made it to the Canary Islands on the prevailing current, and there are salvaged artifacts found off the coast of Brazil. Seems our standard timeline is suspect.

Historically accurate? The Illiad is the version created by 8th century poets about 12th century events. As with most such works, they tell us far more about the authors' time than the events purportedly described. Much as the _Morte D'Arthur_ describes Malory's anarchic age and not 6th century Britain. Not only the 8th century version of 12th century events as refracted through an Athenian lense and then translated into English, a language that didn't exist back then.

I’ve been to the tophet on the isle of Motia.

The Romans as a rule were not deep water sailors, they would hug coasts whenever possible...... America?? No.
