Troy, the Last Frontier

Troy. It is a place that men and women have fantasized about for thousands of years. Does it exist? This isn’t about some city buried underground or a lost island that got soaked under the sea. This is no Atlantis. This is about a town that got invaded. A princess stolen. A warrior’s ankle pierced. Do you side with the Greeks or the Trojans?

I mean, this place had real weapons. They fought with pride. It is no wonder modern day Troy is now in Turkey. But is it? The above map indicates it could be somewhere in Maine. If true, this would throw off thousands of years of debate and ruin the premise of the motion picture blockbuster “Troy” featuring Brad Pitt and of course that hunk, Orlando Bloom :). If Troy was indeed located in Maine, the Greeks would of had a journey thousands of miles longer than the journey inaccurately written in the books. If so, I can’t imagine the types of scurry, fatigue, low morale that occured on the boat rides over here. It is amazing that after 3 days of battle they had the brain power to think of the horse. The more striking realization about this discovery is the fact that Orlando Bloom should of been played by Russell Means, the great AIM leader. If our history leaders had any idea the Trojans were indeed Native American, we could all count on a great Discovery Channel Episode.
