...answer will be good)? A few years back there was a book by Clive Cussler called "Trojan Odessy" which tells quite a different story of the famous battle.

Now lets look at a few things first:

The only real reference to Greece is Homer. He was a greek sailor. However in that day and age that could have meant anything, since Greece was still in states if i remember correctly.
He could have been a sailor on any ship of any crew of any nation.

History says that TROY was a city that set on the coast of what is now Turkey, near the coast sw of Istanbul.
It tells of a battle between what was suppodely Greek soldiers and Trojans over the wife of a king in Greece.

But what if all that was a twist of the story, a story lold only by an adventurer.

In fact the book says this account is based on a book called "Where Troy really was"

It will even go into the Odessy and an amazingly differnt story as well.


Sometime before 1100bc which is when the battle was said to have happened, in Africa and the Middle East, there lived a people called the Celts (hince also the Celtics) who had never migrated north because they feared first the greek empire and then the Egyptian empire. But sometime in the years around that time those two empires collapsed, which allowed them to migrate north.

They would settle in Europe, but as the Roman empire began to form, they moved north into Germany, Spain (i assume because of what will happen), Denmark, and Norway and such.

They would bring about the bronze age, and soon would discover that tin would help make their technology even better

However where they lived there were few and scattered tin mines.

However in a land called TROAD, (hince troy) there were many tin mines. The Celts sent representatives to negotiate rights to the mines but were refused.

They decided to take the land by force, and out of northern europe and what wasnt becoming the Roman empire they formed a huge mercenery army.

The Troads also got soldiers out of parts like these as well.

Now on the coast of Spain there is a city called Ithica (also the name of the city supposdely in Greece where the fleet set sail) and they believe the fleet set sail from spain.

It would land on the coast of what is now England.

Now i dont know if there was any Helena of troy or anything like that, but after ive talked to people in England about this story they pointed out that there are ruins that show signs of battle much like descibed in the book, under the now city of

Cornwall England.

As for the oddessy, this became the next issue.

Oddyssius took his fleet to sail back home, but they think he made a mistake. Instead of heading south and east, he said West. Into the Atlantic.

They wanted to try to match the book to the Atlantic to prove it.

Cyclops: They said that on the Canary Islands there are a group of people (dont know if any still exist) that are born with one eye. While it is not in the center of their head, this is said to be the basis for the cyclops legend)

He went on to describe other islands that would explain the book

Then he came to a very important part...

Oddessius runs into a great storm, and his fleet is smashed against a rocky coast of a island. Oddisius survives, goes ashore, meets the queen there, seduces her, and one day gets a new fleet and finally goes home.

They feel strongly this was a huricane, and the descriptions of the island match Cuba
