I mean
HOLY CRAP
I don't get shocked very easily, but my monocle just fell out.
Do you really read that? Do you really believe that?
Because that is... hate speech. Nothing more, nothing less. If someone were to write a website like that in Belgium, he'd be thrown in jail.
Holy crap dude. Stop reading crap like that NOW, or there's not telling where you might end up. Really.
Hasn't Kosovo teached you anything, Was Ist? ? ? Hasn't it teached you a lesson on blind hatred and historical distortion?
Good lord.
*picks up monocle*
1. The very name Troy, Troja is Slavic on the account that it is very similar to Slavic towns like Trojani, Trojane, Trojaci…; even Troy’s second name Vilusa corresponds to a small number of Slavic towns on Balkans; in Slavic mythology we have god Trojan also known as Trojglav or Triglav (three headed).
Haha, funny.
I've only been able to find one of the names of those town listed, and thats Trojaci. And Trojaci is found in...
*drumroll*
Macedonia.
Also, Troy is (was) over 3500 years old. In those days, you didn't have any towns in the Balkans. Unless this 'historian' can prove that those other towns were founded at the same time or before Troy (which is so incredibly, utterly unlikely), there's 99% chance those towns were
named after Troy. After all, the Illiad had been a myth in the Hellenic world from about that time too. And, en contraire to what your good friend the hate mongerer in those links says, Macedonians are quite Greek.
There's a town in the USA that's called Troy too, y'know.
2. The most important fact concerning the ethnical identity of the Trojans can be found in Troy’s neighboring lands. “Trojan neighborhood” has been identified with Bryges, Thracians, Paeonians, Veneti and other, which were almost all allied with Troy;
Hehe, that's funny too.
Aside from the Thracians - who I have already explained are not Slavic before; the Paeonians had lived in the Balkans since about 2000 BC (about two and a half millennia before the Slavs arrived in the Balkans); and the Veneti lived in... ITALY. Northern Italy. Hence the name 'Venice'. Not only that, but the Veneti were an Etruskan tribe. Not only that, but the Veneti were an Etruskan tribe that couldn't possibly have the technological or diplomatic means to be in contact with the Trojans. AND NOT ONLY THAT, they didn't yet inhabit the Po regions yet in 1200 BC, so there's oh so little chance they ever had anything to do with Troy.
according to ancient authors (I believe Herodotus) the Bryges partly migrated to Asia Minor. They become known as Phrygians in the land of Phrygia. Scholar Anthony Ambrozic has managed to translate the Phrygian text with the use of contemporary Slovene language and undoubtedly proven they were a Slavic speaking people. Roman authors Livy and Ptolemy identified Trojans with the Phrygians.
A Slavic speaking people? A Slavic speaking people in Asia Minor in 1200 BC?
Oh God.
The name of the Phrygian capital Gordium in my opinion derives from gord > city (Rus. gorod; Srb. grad…)
Haha, sure. They called their city 'city'.
How clever.
but also it could mean gordi > proud after its great king Gordius.
^^^ That's what the city was indeed named after, after their KING GORDIUS. Pretty logical.
Unless of course he was actually a Slavic king named 'King City'
A large number of toponyms from the area of Troy and Phrygia Mr. Ambrozic identified as Slavic ones. More about the discoveries of A. Ambrozic can be acquired in his books, more info at

You know. I did a little search on Anthony Ambrozic.
This is one of the first sites I stumbled across
Pretty bland article, agreed, and filled with more übermensh Slavic nonsense. And when I reached the third paragraph, it said this:
What was Dura-Europos? It was a fortress on the Euphrates in present-day Syria, founded by Alexander the Great.
See? I only had to read eight lines before he makes his first mayor historical error. Dura-Europos wasn't founded by Alexander, Alexander only founded Alexandria's. Dura-Europos was founded by Seleucos.
That's something every history student learns in his first year of college.
But I'll take a wild guess good mr. Ambrozic never went there.
I can give you more evidences about Troy
Please, please don't. It makes me sad.
I don't mean that Greece is an unworthy EU member!
