Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Still seeking to gain entrance into Troy, clever Odysseus (some say with the aid of Athena) ordered a large wooden horse to be built!. Its insides were to be hollow so that soldiers could hide within it!.

Once the statue had been built by the artist Epeius, a number of the Greek warriors, along with Odysseus, climbed inside!. The rest of the Greek fleet sailed away, so as to deceive the Trojans!.

One man, Sinon, was left behind!. When the Trojans came to marvel at the huge creation, Sinon pretended to be angry with the Greeks, stating that they had deserted him!. He assured the Trojans that the wooden horse was safe and would bring luck to the Trojans!.

Only two people, Laocoon and Cassandra, spoke out against the horse, but they were ignored!. The Trojans celebrated what they thought was their victory, and dragged the wooden horse into Troy!.

That night, after most of Troy was asleep or in a drunken stupor, Sinon let the Greek warriors out from the horse, and they slaughtered the Trojans!. Priam was killed as he huddled by Zeus' altar and Cassandra was pulled from the statue of Athena and raped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if i remember no one was
the trojans and the other people have been fighting a war for like 10 years and the trojans finally say that they give up, so they build a horse to try to trick them and to get some soldiers in the city walls!. The people celebrate in the city thinking that they won, but it was part of the plan!. And then at night while everyone was asleep the trojans just slaughtered everyone!.
and the the gaurd didnt let the horse in, the people thought it was a gift from the trojans because they wonWww@QuestionHome@Com

All I can tell you is that in his book, the British wizard Merlyn (the Arthurian Merlin) told us that the British had come from the city of Troy to settle in Breten (Britain)!.

There are some strange curiosities about the Trojans, not least their Hero Paris!. Paris is a Celtic name - the city of Paris in France is named after a Celtic tribe who once lived in that region, the Parisii!.

The horse is an animal worshiped by the Celts!.

My own personal theory about the Trojan Wars, is that they had very little to do with Helen of Troy (wife of the King of Sparta no less) but more to do with the ownership and possession of copper and tin - much like today with 'oil'!.

You see back then at the time of the Trojan Wars (plural you'll note) most of the copper and tin ore in the region of Greece and what we now call Turkie, had already been worked out!. In other words there was a shortage of both these vital metals which when mixed together make bronze!. We are now in the Bronze Age and this alloy is of vital importance, especially to the Greeks who were top dogs back then when it came to war!.

Below you'll see a link which will explain everything we know so far of Greek Bronze Age technology and warfare!. You'll be amazed how advanced it all seems, especially the craftsmanship!. The bronze swords are not toys, they are absolutely lethal!.

You'll remember that I told you that Merlyn had told us that we Britons came originally from Troy!. Why!? Because there is tin and copper in abundance here in Breten in Kernow (Cornwall) - indeed, so much tin that in fact tin mining only very recently stopped in Cornwall, I think as recently as the 1970s-1980s!.

Thus the Trojans came here looking for tin and copper with which to make Bronze!.

You must also appreciate that Breten was then a major player in the Bronze Age world - not least because of the highly complex and organised site at Stonehenge, which back then operated in much the manner that Lourdes does in France!. There is a vast amount of Bronze Age activity in and around both Stonehenge and a nearby site called Woodhenge!.

Okay - that's all I'm gonna say - I'm not a scholar, but over the years (I'm now 67) I have put together lots of small pieces of information which lead me to certain conclusions about the Trojan Wars and in particular about Britain!.

It's too easy to simply say, as some people do, that Britain is just a small island off the coast of Western Europe, but there's far more to it than that!. Everyone living here has come from somewhere else!. Not only that, but recent DNA studies being carried out by a team from Oxford Uni are finding thousands of folk in both Cornwall and Wales who have an ancestry here in Britain going back for about 15,000 years!. Yes, that long!.

In addition, new findings now date the beginning of Stonehenge to about 8,000 years ago - far older than was previously thought!.

Okay, so non of the above has explained exactly anything much about the Wooden Horse of Troy - except that the horse is a potent symbol of the Celts!.

We know for sure that the people living in what is now Turkey back in the Bronze age were Celts!.

But I should warn you that the issue of the Celts is a very hot potato because the anti-European movement do not want there ever to have been any sort of pan-European culture!. Their problem is that all the evidence points to the Celts having had exactly that and also owning the tin, copper and later most of the iron and especially the Gold!.

This next will take you into the dream world of the Celts, the forever place, the now, the past, and the forever!. !. !.

Note the horse - an animal worshiped by the Celts then and now!.

I think his name was Norton! He was more than a little drunk! But he leaned his lesson after that and started up his own business guarding against Trojan Horses and other suspicious stuff!. He has done well ever since and he is making sure I'm safe right now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
