My Dad has always had an interest in Ancient History...something I got into as well (without his influence, but I digress).
So he sent me this link this evening.
Fascinating.
And entirely possible.
Plausible? Who knows....
These guys do....
Professor Sir Moses Finley (Ancient History - Cambridge ) expresses the view that the weight of evidence made it clear that Troy and the Trojan War did not occur in the Greek and Turkish setting.
Professor P H Damste (Speech & Language pathology) author of "Concentric Man" Click here takes the view (short summary): " Valuable knowledge is to be discovered about the people of the Northwest European coast around 1200 BC, how they navigated the oceans and a great war between the Kings of continental Europe and the Trojan king in England who held a monopoly of tin-mining in Cornwall. Such information is encoded in the Iliad and Odyssey. "
The methodology of the research on Troy is explained in the author's lecture to the "Herodoteans", Classical Society of the University of Cambridge (UK) held on 26th May 1992, entitled "The Trojan Kings of England" this has been made available on the internet by emeritus Professor P.H. Damste.
