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.
