7.07 Trojans

A Trojan was a citizen of Troy or a soldier who allegedly participated in the Trojan War. Similar to the infamous Roman Galea helmets worn by the Praetorian Guard, Roman Centurions and Greek Spartans, the Trojans wore helmets with an identical Mohawk crest and faceplates as depicted in the Silver tetradrachm from Troy. The distinct military design and symbology confirms the notion that all four mascots were just different military factions of the same Greco-Roman Empire. This is why the Stanford marching band (LSJUMB) does the Roman Salute while USC's fight song is played by the Spirit of Troy. Nevertheless, according to Greek mythology, the legendary Trojan War was waged by the Greeks against the city of Troy, a laughable notion considering Troy was a key port on the Aegean Sea in the heart of Dardanelles (i.e., mainland Greece). Regardless, legend states that in an attempt to deceive their enemies, the Greeks constructed a massive wooden Trojan Horse. After hiding a number of soldiers inside the horse, the Greeks left it outside the city of Troy and then pretended to sail away. Eventually, the Trojans opened their gates and pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. Subsequently, the Greek soldiers escaped from inside the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army which was waiting just outside the city. The Greek army then entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the Trojan War. Although history books and pop culture have been inundated with this legend, it appears that the fable of the Trojan Horse and the Trojan War are just allegorical metaphors for the real story of how the Roman Empire conquered Greenland and the giants that dwelled there.

Trojan Horse (Trojan Whores)

Based on evidence acquired to date, it appears that the legend of the Trojan Horse is not rooted in fact but is rather an epic historical metaphor of how the Greco-Roman Empire conquered Greenland. Considering that the term "Trojan Horse" itself is synonymous with trickery, it is incumbent upon historians and scholars alike to reexamine this myth by breaking down the words “Trojan” and Trojan Horse” itself. In deciphering “Tro-jan”, the term “Tro” (T+R) is acronymically the same as “Three” (T+R) while the term “Jan” or “Gen” is equates to the beginning of something (e.g., genesis). Since Greenland is the third and final home of Rome after the Island of Crete and the Island of Sicily. Therefore, the term “Trojan Horse” essentially a term used to describe the beginning of the third and final home of the Greco-Roman Empire which began with the “Trojan Whores”. The term “Horse” (H+R+S) and “Whores” (W+H+R+S) is almost identical acronymically speaking, minus the letter “W” which is silent and often inconsequential in deciphering original Roman English. Interestingly, some authors have suggested that Trojan Horse was not a horse with warriors hiding inside, but a boat carrying a peace envoy. The term “Peace” (P+C/K) is a synonym for “Peak” (P+C/K), a term often used to describe Mt. Olympus (i.e., Mt. Zion) in Greenland. Also, the terms used to put men inside the Trojan Horse are the same as those used to describe the embarkation of men on a ship. The particular theory is bolstered by the fact that the Trojan Horse replica which is currently found a the Istanbul Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey (home to Troy) is formed in the shape of a ship. This particular theory suggests that the Roman Empire recruited a number of beautiful women from Troy (i.e., “Trojan Whores”), leaving them in or near Greenland. Since Troy was the main port connecting the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea to the Black Sea, it stands to reason that Troy was a multicultural and ethnically diverse city. Therefore, the women of Troy were likely the most beautiful and exotic in the world at the time, posing quite the temptation to the red-haired and white skinned giants of Greenland. In time, the women of Troy were either raped or seduced the giants of Greenland, ultimately getting pregnant and then returning to Rome where they gave birth to baby giants. Consequently, the children born to the “Trojan Whores” eventually became an army of giants that, with superior Roman technology, was big and strong enough to eventually conquer the giants of Greenland. Interestingly, the main source for the Trojan Horse story is found in the “Aeneid”, a Latin poem by Virgil from the time of Augustus who coincidentally ruled over Anno Domini (i.e., B.C. to A.D. transition) when the island of Greenland was first discovered. The Trojan Horse legend is described in Homer's “Odyssey” as the "Wooden Horse”. The term “Wooden” (W+D+N) is the acronymical equivalent of the Greco-Roman god Woden (W+D+N) who is the one-eyed god in the Norse mythology which symbolically represents the Greenland (i.e., the Beast of Greenland). Therefore, the term “"Wooden Horse” equates to “Greenland’s Whores”. This is why the largest condom manufacturer in the world is entitled Trojan, a tribute to the sex which enabled the Greco-Roman Empire to become the undisputed ruler of all the Earth. Lastly, “The Trojan Women” (415 BC) is a playwright produced by Euripides which coincidentally mirrors the aforementioned theory. The play it is often considered a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its population.

Historicity of Troy

The city of Troy and the Trojan War were once widely believed to be fiction and were therefore consequently consigned to the realms of legend. As of 1870, it was generally agreed in Western Europe that the Trojan War had never happened and Troy never existed. However, recently uncovered archeological records infer that Troy was indeed a real city. This notion is corroborated by Troy’s strategic location as a key Greco-Roman port in the Aegean Sea. Troy’s unique location allowed for complete control of the Dardanelles (i.e., mainland Greece) through which every merchant ship traveling from Aegean Sea to the Black Sea and vice versa had to pass. The English term “try” (T+R) was likely derived from Troy (T+R) as ships would “try” with little success to sail past Troy without paying a Greco-Roman tariff or tax. Whether there is any historical reality behind the Trojan War is still an open question in the scientific community. According to modern historical sources, the Trojan War inexplicably had little or no effect on the history of the Middle East (i.e., the Mediterranean) which suggests that it never happened as described. Many scholars believe that there is a historical core to the tale, but that Homer may have fused various tales and legends together. In other words, the story of the Trojan War appears to be an allegorical metaphor, most likely describing the aforementioned “Trojan Whores” theory. This notion corroborated by the fact that the Trojan War was considered among the Greeks as either the last event of the mythical age or the first event of the historical age. This particular notion corroborates the “Trojan Whores” theory as the Trojan War was the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire and the rise of Greenland as the undisputed yet hidden global power. This is likely why medieval European writers such as Snorri Sturluson refer to the Trojan War as the great epoch-dividing battle of the age with widespread effects across Europe. Lastly, Hittite records interestingly purport a theory connecting the Trojan War with the Sea Peoples of the Island of Crete which was coincidentally home to the ruling class of the Greco-Roman Empire (i.e., the Imperial Cult) who now reside in Greenland.
