Clive Cussler has quoted a book I want to read, "Where Troy once stood," arguing that Troy was Cambridge, England.

The book is out of print. Some information is on the Net. The basic premise is that the Asian location does not fit any descriptors in the Iliad.

Those crazy English also thought a new Jerusalem was going to arise in England.

I haven't read the book but it doesn't make much sense to me. The ancients knew where Troy was and still knew even at the time of Alexander.

It is no coincidence that Scliemann found Troy very near where it was said to be.

He also located Troy (Hissarlik) by using a description in the Iliad.

And some other guy about 150 years ago claimed Edinburogh Scotland was really Jerusalem. ( I'm not making this up!)
