Where Troy Once Stood

[Ruth]

My next question is about Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), who's teacher, Aristotle (384-322 BC) gave him an annotated copy of The Iliad. It is also reported that he had a copy of The Odessey as well, but The Iliad was his favourite. He was the one who gave Pharohic Egypt it's official name that we know it by now, when it became a Greek colony in 332 BC. He was accordingly VERY familiar with Homer's works.

My question is was he a reincarnation of one of the participants of the Trojan war? And was it Achilles? They both seemed to be precociously adept at warfare. I've just seen that his mother, Olympias of Epirus was the daughter of Neoptolemus I.... who claimed to be a decendant of Achilles and King Lycomendes... from that time....

At least a part of the Yucatan is kind of lacy and might be quite fragile in the event of a major shake. There are cenotes all over, and no telling how deep some of them go. I did some diving there, with a guide of course. The water is cold and fresh.

Wow! You went diving in part of that big impact crater. (The one that killed the dinosaurs). It must have been impressive! I believe it was the cenotes that provided the clue as to where the impact site was.

Hello @Ruth ,

FYI there is a minor mistake here :

According to the internet, Bronze Age Britain occured between 2500 (approx) - 800 BC/BCE. BC and BCE are the same, but one is more 'politically correct' i.e. not associated with Christianity. So that means 4500 (approx) - 2825 BP. Which is "Before Present", or total years ago.

Conventionally, the reference date for "BP" is January 1st, 1950. Cf.

Before Present - Wikipedia

So 2500 (approx.) - 800 BC(E) would rather be 4450 (approx.) - 2750 BP.

My two (euro)cents.

Holy Smoke! Present Time was before I was born! Luckily I don't have to be 'carbon dated' to find out my age. I wonder if the C's use 1 Jan 1950 as 'present day'? Perhaps not, if they're not a big fan of the accuracy of the proceedure. Maybe it's particularly useful for the VERY long periods of time ago? Kind of like dinosaur lengths of time in the past....

Looking at the transcripts, the C's have never used the terms 'BP' or 'before present'. Only 'years ago' or 'BC' and 'AD'. But in all those cases it is unclear whether the 400-500 phantom years have been included or not.

Not in one that big or deep. There are lots of those formations everywhere I visited. I was around Tulum and Playa del Carmen mostly. In some places you can ride in these little rivers (that come up and go under ground) right out into the sea.

Hello.
Tonight, I stumbled upon this video (published in 2021), titled "The Trojan War: The Reality - England vs. France", by S. E. Robbins :

Just had a thought, you could interview this guy if you had a mind to - or someone associated with Cassiopaea or SOTT might be able to. Unfortunately, Iman Wilkens passed in 2018. I wonder who has the "rights" to publish this book? Maybe I'll ask the publishers....
