The Discovery of Troy

[sToRmR1dR]

I got this book as a gift from my parents :)

A copy from Vojtech Zamarovsky-Objavenie Troje (1962)-history of archaeological excavations in Troy and an explanation of old epics and mythology.
Looking forward to start reading

I've been reading the article on the cassiopaea site that discusses, among other things, the location of Troy. Turns out it may be located in the hills aroun Cambridge, England and not in Turkey. Is that the presumption of the book you're about to read?

Anyways, the article that goes into detail about the location of Troy is called "Jupiter, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and the Return of the Mongols."

I hope you enjoy your new book!

Adding to Dylan's input, here's the thread of the book that suggests that Troy was in England:

It is titled, Where Troy Once Stood by Wilkens. You might like to read it after your own book and see where they agree and where they disagree ;)

Some Mexican guy, Roberto Salinas Price, claimed that "real Troy was in Dalmatia few decades ago:

It all began last summer, when news reached here from Mexico that a private scholar had published a theory that ancient Troy was not where Heinrich Schliemann excavated it more than a century ago in Asia Minor, on the western coast of Turkey, but in Dalmatia. The Mexican, Roberto Salinas Price, said his reading of Homer's ''Iliad'' left room for no other conclusion but that Gabela had been Troy, he said.

...

Mr. Salinas Price, for whom Homer is said to be a lifelong passion, based his theory on what he considers geographical and astronomical anomalies in the ''Iliad'' that preclude an Asia Minor Troy. After years of research, which first brought him to Yugoslavia in 1967, he concluded that Gabela was the only possible Troy.

The Mexican theorized that the explanation of the millennia-old geographical error was political. In the 7th century B.C., Mr. Salinas Price suggests, Greeks cleverly transferred all the place names in the ''Iliad'' to territories that were then Greek.

Not sure about Troy but nearby there are some ancient ruins, "Cyclopean walls" called Daorson (Daors means gate in Greek?) with some Hellenic artifacts excavated there...
