    When Homer’s Iliad was first written down in the eighth century BCE, the story of the Trojan war was already an old one. From existing oral tradition, audiences knew the tales of the long siege, the duels outside the city walls, and the trick that finally won the war. In the end, the city was burned to the ground, never to rise again. But had it ever existed? Einav Zamir Dembin investigates.

      Historical point =
      Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey speaks only of Danaans, Achaeans, Argians and not of Greeks.
      The Hellenes (tribe of Southern Thessaly also called Argos Pelasgians), at his time, did not constitute yet a people or a Nation (Thucydides I,3).
      He affirms in the Iliad that "Zeus is Pelasgians and dodonean" (XVI,234).
      Precisely these Pelasgians (🇦🇱) were considered by all the ancient Greek authors as "the first inhabitants of Greece" before "The arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷)"!
      Another word that was misunderstood or glossed over. Indeed the Greeks arrived from somewhere because they were not indigenous.
      As they did not come from the North ( one wanted to make us believe the opposite), they could only be foreigners coming from elsewhere.
      It is this elsewhere which is difficult to define very precisely. But the legends, which are only embellished, idealized or metaphorized historical facts, give us some precious indications on the first foreign ethnic groups having occupied the country of the Pelasgians: the Danaans (Egyptians from whom the Dorians descend), the Cadmeans (Phoenicians) and the Pelopides (Assyrians).
      Among the peoples of archaic Greece the Ionians, Aeolians and Arcadians were descendants of the Pelasgians, indigenous populations conquered by the Hellenic invaders: they could claim to be indigenous populations.
      All the ancient authors, including Homer, Hesiod, Hecateus of Miletus, Acousilaos, Hellanicos, Herodotus, Thucydides or Ephorus, inform us succinctly but sufficiently to affirm that before the arrival of the Greeks the Pelasges (🇦🇱) occupied the country that was to become Greece.
      They also claim that these Pelasges were not Greeks but "Barbaros" i.e. not speaking Greek and, finally, that they LEGAVED TO THE GREEKS A LARGE PART OF THEIR CULTES AND DIVINE.
      Example: So, everyone has learned (at school etc ...) that Zeus was a Greek god, right?
      But why in the books of Homer (the basis of the bases!) we never see the so-called "Greek Zeus, Mycenaean Zeus or Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      Here is what Achilles (the greatest warrior of the Trojan War) tells us about Zeus =
      Achilles: - "Zeus, sovereign lord, O Dodonian prince, O you Pelasgic Zeus (🇦🇱), distant god who reigns over Dodona, in this harsh land of the Stool... "
      Source : Homer ( Iliad, XVI, 233/234 )
      Achilles did not say " O you Zeus the Greek, O you Zeus the Mycenaean or O you Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      So why did they tell us that Zeus was a Greek?
      With this alone, we can see that modern historiography is not honest!
      Zeus = Zâ, Zani ( gheg ), Zê, Zeri ( Tosk )
      Before securing power over the other gods, Zeus was the god of the luminous sky, of atmospheric phenomena (clouds, rain, wind, lightning, thunder).
      It was said of him "Zeus rains or Zeus thunders". With Homer and Hesiod, he acquired a preeminent role among the gods of Olympus and a place of choice in the mytological cosmogony.
      Some say that the name Zeus evokes the Sanskrit root "Dyaus" meaning "the day" (Latin Dies). However Homer states that "Zeus is Pelasgic 🇦🇱 and Dodonean" ( Iliad XVI,234).
      The oldest sanctuary, dedicated by the Pelasges to Zeus, is that of Dodone, in Thesprotia (ancient Pelasgia, called Epirus, the 5th century) .
      In Dodona was a sacred oak whose rustling leaves were interpreted by the oracle as the "VOICE" of Zeus.
      The attributes of Zeus are the Eagle, the Lightning and the Scepter. Moreover, lightning means "thunder", thus "noise" or "voice".
      Thus the name of Zeus can be explained by the Albanian "Zâ, Zani, the "voice", the verb".
      With the arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷) this oracle lost its importance to Delphi, the "Greek" sanctuary (of Apollo) par excellence.
      It should be noted that in Albania, God is called Zot (Zeus = Zojz = Zot), all religions combined. Moreover the expression "by Zeus" (who forgives) is always used there "për zotën".
      Porphyry (Life of Pythagoras) reports that Pythagoras used "Zan" to designate Zeus! )
      This alone is enough to convince us that a great civilization, not Greek, existed WELL BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE HELLENES (🇬🇷)
      Neibhur (FOUNDER OF THE MODERN SCHOOL OF ANCIENT HISTORY!):
      "The name Pelasgians was probably that of a nation and, in any case, THE GREEK EXPLANATIONS ON THIS SUBJECT ARE ABSURD!"
      Source: The History of Rome Volume I, p.507
      It is the meaning of this famous word "ARRIVED" that the modern authors (majority) did not quite seize (or occulted).
      Everything has been said and its opposite on this subject. Until the discovery of the so-called Mycenaean tablets, "deciphered" by Ventris and Chadwick, the doubt remained in their minds!
      But as soon as these two scholars decreed that the Mycenaean linear B (in reality Pelasgians!) was of the old Greek, all rocked in favor of the thesis of the continuity of the two civilizations (Mycenaean and Greek) and this in spite of FOUR CENTURIES, I repeat "FOUR CENTURIES !!!! "of MAGISTRATIC SILENCE!
      It is this theory that Mathieu Aref dismantles with arguments to SUPPORT because nobody suspected that this Mycenaean (total invention of Schliemann, who is not even an archaeologist but a Businessman! ) was none other than ancient Pelasgians (opinion of the Ancient Authors!) from which is derived, in part, the ancient Greek.
      Moreover of other flagrant argument comes to corroborate this last thesis:
      According to Herodotus ( I,57- VIII, 44- VII,95) the Ionians were Pelasgians (🇦🇱) become Hellenes (🇬🇷) by adopting the Greek language!
      The ethnonym "Ion" derives from the Pelasgic 🇦🇱 "I onë" ( in Albanian, I jonë ) meaning "ours", that is, by extension, "the one who is ( or was ) part of our family, of our ethnic group" .
      The assertion of Herodotus, according to which the Athenians and the inhabitants of Attica were of Pelasgic origin, is, before, confirmed by Hecateus of Miletus and, later, by Hellanicos of Mytilèbe (Lesbos) and other ancient authors.
      Curiously Thucydides, whose chauvinism is not any more to be shown, affirms that Pelops (conqueror of Peloponnese) was a was a foreigner come from Asia (I, 5): the only time when it evokes the foreign origin of one of its a

      - "Pelasgians, very ancient people living during the prehistoric period in Greece, in the Archipelago, on the coasts of Asia Minor and Italy.

      Historical point =
      Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey speaks only of Danaans, Achaeans, Argians and not of Greeks.
      The Hellenes (tribe of Southern Thessaly also called Argos Pelasgians), at his time, did not constitute yet a people or a Nation (Thucydides I,3).
      He affirms in the Iliad that "Zeus is Pelasgians and dodonean" (XVI,234).
      Precisely these Pelasgians (🇦🇱) were considered by all the ancient Greek authors as "the first inhabitants of Greece" before "The arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷)"!
      Another word that was misunderstood or glossed over. Indeed the Greeks arrived from somewhere because they were not indigenous.
      As they did not come from the North ( one wanted to make us believe the opposite), they could only be foreigners coming from elsewhere.
      It is this elsewhere which is difficult to define very precisely. But the legends, which are only embellished, idealized or metaphorized historical facts, give us some precious indications on the first foreign ethnic groups having occupied the country of the Pelasgians: the Danaans (Egyptians from whom the Dorians descend), the Cadmeans (Phoenicians) and the Pelopides (Assyrians).
      Among the peoples of archaic Greece the Ionians, Aeolians and Arcadians were descendants of the Pelasgians, indigenous populations conquered by the Hellenic invaders: they could claim to be indigenous populations.
      All the ancient authors, including Homer, Hesiod, Hecateus of Miletus, Acousilaos, Hellanicos, Herodotus, Thucydides or Ephorus, inform us succinctly but sufficiently to affirm that before the arrival of the Greeks the Pelasges (🇦🇱) occupied the country that was to become Greece.
      They also claim that these Pelasges were not Greeks but "Barbaros" i.e. not speaking Greek and, finally, that they LEGAVED TO THE GREEKS A LARGE PART OF THEIR CULTES AND DIVINE.
      Example: So, everyone has learned (at school etc ...) that Zeus was a Greek god, right?
      But why in the books of Homer (the basis of the bases!) we never see the so-called "Greek Zeus, Mycenaean Zeus or Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      Here is what Achilles (the greatest warrior of the Trojan War) tells us about Zeus =
      Achilles: - "Zeus, sovereign lord, O Dodonian prince, O you Pelasgic Zeus (🇦🇱), distant god who reigns over Dodona, in this harsh land of the Stool... "
      Source : Homer ( Iliad, XVI, 233/234 )
      Achilles did not say " O you Zeus the Greek, O you Zeus the Mycenaean or O you Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      So why did they tell us that Zeus was a Greek?
      With this alone, we can see that modern historiography is not honest!
      Zeus = Zâ, Zani ( gheg ), Zê, Zeri ( Tosk )
      Before securing power over the other gods, Zeus was the god of the luminous sky, of atmospheric phenomena (clouds, rain, wind, lightning, thunder).
      It was said of him "Zeus rains or Zeus thunders". With Homer and Hesiod, he acquired a preeminent role among the gods of Olympus and a place of choice in the mytological cosmogony.
      Some say that the name Zeus evokes the Sanskrit root "Dyaus" meaning "the day" (Latin Dies). However Homer states that "Zeus is Pelasgic 🇦🇱 and Dodonean" ( Iliad XVI,234).
      The oldest sanctuary, dedicated by the Pelasges to Zeus, is that of Dodone, in Thesprotia (ancient Pelasgia, called Epirus, the 5th century) .
      In Dodona was a sacred oak whose rustling leaves were interpreted by the oracle as the "VOICE" of Zeus.
      The attributes of Zeus are the Eagle, the Lightning and the Scepter. Moreover, lightning means "thunder", thus "noise" or "voice".
      Thus the name of Zeus can be explained by the Albanian "Zâ, Zani, the "voice", the verb".
      With the arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷) this oracle lost its importance to Delphi, the "Greek" sanctuary (of Apollo) par excellence.
      It should be noted that in Albania, God is called Zot (Zeus = Zojz = Zot), all religions combined. Moreover the expression "by Zeus" (who forgives) is always used there "për zotën".
      Porphyry (Life of Pythagoras) reports that Pythagoras used "Zan" to designate Zeus! )
      This alone is enough to convince us that a great civilization, not Greek, existed WELL BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE HELLENES (🇬🇷)

      Historical point =
      Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey speaks only of Danaans, Achaeans, Argians and not of Greeks.
      The Hellenes (tribe of Southern Thessaly also called Argos Pelasgians), at his time, did not constitute yet a people or a Nation (Thucydides I,3).
      He affirms in the Iliad that "Zeus is Pelasgians and dodonean" (XVI,234).
      Precisely these Pelasgians (🇦🇱) were considered by all the ancient Greek authors as "the first inhabitants of Greece" before "The arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷)"!
      Another word that was misunderstood or glossed over. Indeed the Greeks arrived from somewhere because they were not indigenous.
      As they did not come from the North ( one wanted to make us believe the opposite), they could only be foreigners coming from elsewhere.
      It is this elsewhere which is difficult to define very precisely. But the legends, which are only embellished, idealized or metaphorized historical facts, give us some precious indications on the first foreign ethnic groups having occupied the country of the Pelasgians: the Danaans (Egyptians from whom the Dorians descend), the Cadmeans (Phoenicians) and the Pelopides (Assyrians).
      Among the peoples of archaic Greece the Ionians, Aeolians and Arcadians were descendants of the Pelasgians, indigenous populations conquered by the Hellenic invaders: they could claim to be indigenous populations.
      All the ancient authors, including Homer, Hesiod, Hecateus of Miletus, Acousilaos, Hellanicos, Herodotus, Thucydides or Ephorus, inform us succinctly but sufficiently to affirm that before the arrival of the Greeks the Pelasges (🇦🇱) occupied the country that was to become Greece.
      They also claim that these Pelasges were not Greeks but "Barbaros" i.e. not speaking Greek and, finally, that they LEGAVED TO THE GREEKS A LARGE PART OF THEIR CULTES AND DIVINE.
      Example: So, everyone has learned (at school etc ...) that Zeus was a Greek god, right?
      But why in the books of Homer (the basis of the bases!) we never see the so-called "Greek Zeus, Mycenaean Zeus or Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      Here is what Achilles (the greatest warrior of the Trojan War) tells us about Zeus =
      Achilles: - "Zeus, sovereign lord, O Dodonian prince, O you Pelasgic Zeus (🇦🇱), distant god who reigns over Dodona, in this harsh land of the Stool... "
      Source : Homer ( Iliad, XVI, 233/234 )
      Achilles did not say " O you Zeus the Greek, O you Zeus the Mycenaean or O you Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      So why did they tell us that Zeus was a Greek?
      With this alone, we can see that modern historiography is not honest!
      Zeus = Zâ, Zani ( gheg ), Zê, Zeri ( Tosk )
      Before securing power over the other gods, Zeus was the god of the luminous sky, of atmospheric phenomena (clouds, rain, wind, lightning, thunder).
      It was said of him "Zeus rains or Zeus thunders". With Homer and Hesiod, he acquired a preeminent role among the gods of Olympus and a place of choice in the mytological cosmogony.
      Some say that the name Zeus evokes the Sanskrit root "Dyaus" meaning "the day" (Latin Dies). However Homer states that "Zeus is Pelasgic 🇦🇱 and Dodonean" ( Iliad XVI,234).
      The oldest sanctuary, dedicated by the Pelasges to Zeus, is that of Dodone, in Thesprotia (ancient Pelasgia, called Epirus, the 5th century) .
      In Dodona was a sacred oak whose rustling leaves were interpreted by the oracle as the "VOICE" of Zeus.
      The attributes of Zeus are the Eagle, the Lightning and the Scepter. Moreover, lightning means "thunder", thus "noise" or "voice".
      Thus the name of Zeus can be explained by the Albanian "Zâ, Zani, the "voice", the verb".
      With the arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷) this oracle lost its importance to Delphi, the "Greek" sanctuary (of Apollo) par excellence.

      Basically a big city would control small cities around it, either by force or alliances.
      It was always easier to establish yourself around existing walls, that build them from scratch.
      The population though is an other problem, it takes hundreds of years to reach old levels.
      Thats why cities once destroyed never reach their old potential.
      Rome for example, it took 1800 years to reach its pre destruction population. And only because it was never fully destroyed.
      Athens reached its B.C. population in the 20th century, and people were using the stones of the ruins to build their homes.

    Troy almost certainly existed, the trojan wars were probably real, and the events that took place in that war were important and great to both the Myceneans and the Trojans. Homer, who was supposedly a blind Ionian (a Greek state in Anatolia, south of the site of Troy) storyteller, wrote down the Iliad some 400 years after the Trojan war, and by the time it had been written down, you can bet many liberties, exaggerations, fabrications, and other glorifications had been added to the story. But there is probably some truth to it. What elements are true and what are false will remain a mystery. The biblical events of the Exodus and the story of Moses have a similar timeline and development (took place in the late bronze age, were written down after the introduction of the Phoenician alphabet to Phoenicia's southern neighbors in the Kingdom of Israel some 300-500 years after they took place).

      Achilles: - "Zeus, sovereign lord, O Dodonian prince, O you Pelasgic Zeus (🇦🇱), distant god who reigns over Dodona, in this harsh land of the Stool... "
      Source : Homer ( Iliad, XVI, 233/234 )
      Achilles did not say " O you Zeus the Greek, O you Zeus the Mycenaean or O you Zeus the Hellenic etc ... "
      So why did they tell us that Zeus was a Greek?
      With this alone, we can see that modern historiography is not honest!
      Zeus = Zâ, Zani ( gheg ), Zê, Zeri ( Tosk )
      Before securing power over the other gods, Zeus was the god of the luminous sky, of atmospheric phenomena (clouds, rain, wind, lightning, thunder).
      It was said of him "Zeus rains or Zeus thunders". With Homer and Hesiod, he acquired a preeminent role among the gods of Olympus and a place of choice in the mytological cosmogony.
      Some say that the name Zeus evokes the Sanskrit root "Dyaus" meaning "the day" (Latin Dies). However Homer states that "Zeus is Pelasgic 🇦🇱 and Dodonean" ( Iliad XVI,234).
      The oldest sanctuary, dedicated by the Pelasges to Zeus, is that of Dodone, in Thesprotia (ancient Pelasgia, called Epirus, the 5th century) .
      In Dodona was a sacred oak whose rustling leaves were interpreted by the oracle as the "VOICE" of Zeus.
      The attributes of Zeus are the Eagle, the Lightning and the Scepter. Moreover, lightning means "thunder", thus "noise" or "voice".
      Thus the name of Zeus can be explained by the Albanian "Zâ, Zani, the "voice", the verb".
      With the arrival of the Hellenes (🇬🇷) this oracle lost its importance to Delphi, the "Greek" sanctuary (of Apollo) par excellence.
      It should be noted that in Albania, God is called Zot (Zeus = Zojz = Zot), all religions combined. Moreover the expression "by Zeus" (who forgives) is always used there "për zotën".
      Porphyry (Life of Pythagoras) reports that Pythagoras used "Zan" to designate Zeus! )
      This alone is enough to convince us that a great civilization, not Greek, existed WELL BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE HELLENES (🇬🇷)
      Neibhur (FOUNDER OF THE MODERN SCHOOL OF ANCIENT HISTORY!):
      "The name Pelasgians was probably that of a nation and, in any case, THE GREEK EXPLANATIONS ON THIS SUBJECT ARE ABSURD!"
      Source: The History of Rome Volume I, p.507
      It is the meaning of this famous word "ARRIVED" that the modern authors (majority) did not quite seize (or occulted).
      Everything has been said and its opposite on this subject. Until the discovery of the so-called Mycenaean tablets, "deciphered" by Ventris and Chadwick, the doubt remained in their minds!
      But as soon as these two scholars decreed that the Mycenaean linear B (in reality Pelasgians!) was of the old Greek, all rocked in favor of the thesis of the continuity of the two civilizations (Mycenaean and Greek) and this in spite of FOUR CENTURIES, I repeat "FOUR CENTURIES !!!! "of MAGISTRATIC SILENCE!
      It is this theory that Mathieu Aref dismantles with arguments to SUPPORT because nobody suspected that this Mycenaean (total invention of Schliemann, who is not even an archaeologist but a Businessman! ) was none other than ancient Pelasgians (opinion of the Ancient Authors!) from which is derived, in part, the ancient Greek.
      Moreover of other flagrant argument comes to corroborate this last thesis:
      According to Herodotus ( I,57- VIII, 44- VII,95) the Ionians were Pelasgians (🇦🇱) become Hellenes (🇬🇷) by adopting the Greek language!
      The ethnonym "Ion" derives from the Pelasgic 🇦🇱 "I onë" ( in Albanian, I jonë ) meaning "ours", that is, by extension, "the one who is ( or was ) part of our family, of our ethnic group" .
      The assertion of Herodotus, according to which the Athenians and the inhabitants of Attica were of Pelasgic origin, is, before, confirmed by Hecateus of Miletus and, later, by Hellanicos of Mytilèbe (Lesbos) and other ancient authors.
      Curiously Thucydides, whose chauvinism is not any more to be shown, affirms that Pelops (conqueror of Peloponnese) was a was a foreigner come from Asia (I, 5): the only time when it evokes the foreign origin of one of its a
      - Therefore, the ancestors of the present Albanians, the Pelasgians, lived during the prehistoric periods in most of the then known world, developing a very important civilization and building works of exceptional value".
      Source: Great Greek Encyclopedia (Athens, volume. XIX p.873)
      - "Pelasgians, very ancient people living during the prehistoric period in Greece, in the Archipelago, on the coasts of Asia Minor and Italy. It is generally considered that the ancient Illyrians, Thracians, Phrygians, Lydians, Etruscans, Epirotes (...) and Albanians of today are the main branches of the Pelasgians".

    My take away was that whatever there was, early 'archaelogists', fellas like Schliemann, thoroughly obliterated it ..

    There's a very obvious connection between the seemingly legendary Trojan war and the Bronze Age Collapse. Some of the "Sea Peoples" who are suspected of contributing to, if not causing the Bronze Age Collapse have names that are suspiciously similar to the Greeks who besieged Troy, namely, "Sea Peoples": Denyen, Ekwesh, Peleset; Greeks: Danaans, Achaeans, Pylosians/Pelasgian.

      thought they had a victory
      after TEN YEARS!! They were celebrating all day...
      (after the Greeks had left
      early that morning, leaving
      the horse outside the gates) . Troy was eating AND DRINKING for maybe
      20 hrs or so by the time
      everyone was asleep. If
      the horse WAS too tall to
      get through the gates, it's
      not unthinkable that Troy
      was too tired or too drunk
      for ANYONE to remember
      to close or lock the gates.
      " Easy-peasy". The Legend
      also says the Greeks sacrificed two of their
      ships' wood in order to
      build the horse, which
      most likely took a couple
      of months. There you go!!

    Troy was a Greek City State. At the time the Greek tribes had already migrated to Asia Minor. So it was not Greeks vs Trojans but Achaeans (and others) vs Trojans. All of the same race.

    •  Před 5 lety +51

      Aside from the architecture being clearly Hellenistic (though with eastern influences as the City traded with the eastern countries), in The Iliad numerous Greek gods help the Trojans in several occasions. Even if the Iliad is an epic consisting of many mythological elements, a Greek god would never help anyone who does not worship them or is not a Greek. For Homer to have the Greek gods helping the Trojans it is evident that Homer considered the Trojans Greek. There is more evidence such as the Trojan names being of Greek etymology and Trojan myths referring to the Olympian Gods, and the name of Troy, Ilion meaning literally "Land of the Sun" in Ancient Greek. That's about what comes to my mind right now.

    •  Před 5 lety +35

      Oh, another thing, the Ionians, one of the four Greek tribes, is estimated to have migrated to Asia Minor at around 1200 and 1100 BC. Which is close to the time period the Trojan War takes place. Just another evidence of Greek activity in the area.

      As the video explains, there were nine cities at the site, one on top of the other. The Troy of the Trojan War is thought to be Troy 7. While the later cities may have been Greek city states, according to Wikipedia,
      "After the 1995 find of a Luwian biconvex seal at Troy VII, there has been a heated discussion over the language that was spoken in Homeric Troy. Frank Starke of the University of Tübingen recently demonstrated that the name of Priam, king of Troy at the time of the Trojan War, is connected to the Luwian compound Priimuua, which means "exceptionally courageous". "The certainty is growing that Wilusa/Troy belonged to the greater Luwian-speaking community," although it is not entirely clear whether Luwian was primarily the official language or in daily colloquial use."
      I.e. the inhabitants of Troy 7 spoke Luwian, not Greek.
