VISIT THE TROJAN
BATTLEFIELD

At last Troy and the Trojan War has been found and its battlefield completely reconstructed from the scattered but very detailed information given in Homer's Iliad.
 
Troy in England is, however unbelievable at first sight, fully explained in this amazing work which provides detailed arguments of all sorts including geographic and linguistic evidence as well as countless archaeological finds.
 
Although the Iliad was written in ancient Greek, the war was not waged by Greeks and not caused by the abduction of Helen. The real cause was access to tin in Britain, a precious metal which was essential for the production of bronze.
 
During the second millenium BC, the tales of the greatest war of prehistory were orally transmitted by Sea Peoples migrating from western Europe to the Mediterranean. This is why traces of the war could not be found near Hissarlik in Turkey, the site previously believed to be that of Homer's Troy.
 
This work clearly demonstrates that the Iliad, however poetic, is based on real historical events in the Bronze Age.
 
For the first time in history, readers of the Iliad can follow the action in the field.

A Polish joke about Ruskies:

"Grandpa, is it true that at the Red Square in Moscow they give away brand new Cadillacs?"

"Yes, says Grandpa, essentially it is true, but it is Leningrad not Moscow, not Cadillacs but bicycles, and they don't give them away but they steal them?"
