[QUOTE="Adventist Heretic, post: 77647276, member: 163213"] What I am looking for is to verify the view that Rome was a descendant of Troy as some of the historians have stated. I am not looking for information about people who lived on the Italian peninsula before Rome unless it can help establish that the Trojans came and founded Rome or a city that existed before Rome. The gap between the Fall of Troy in 1184 BC and the founding of Rome 753 BC is over 400 years. This gap exists because of the "Greek Dark Ages" when no political stability existed and no culture existed. Some have questioned whether this gap is real or just a figment of bad chronology. What I am attempting to do is trace the history of the myth that the survivors from Troy founded Rome so far nothing goes back before Homer. Which means he either invented the story or the chronology is wrong. Because nothing exists before him. [/QUOTE]
