Evidence Linking Ancient Troy and Central America

Evidence Linking Ancient Troy and Central America

Written by Vrndavan Parker

In 1883 Dr. Heinrich Schliemann said he found in Louvre a collection of objects excavated from Tiahuanaco, in Central America. The pottery had the same shape and material and objects of fossilized bone which reproduced line by line those which he had found in the bronze vase of the "Treasure of Priam". However, these vases did not bear Phoenician hieroglyphics or any other writing. "I secured pieces of these simulacrums from Tiahuanaco and subjected them to chemical and microscopic analysis. These tests proved that both the Central American vases and those from Troy had been made from the same peculiar clay, and I learned later, further and definitively, that this clay does not exist, either in old Phoenicia or in Central America." The material was a combination of platinum, aluminum, and copper. Source  The one area where the Phoenicians showed the  most creativity was in the wearing of jewelry.  Phoenician ladies pierced their ears along the rim  to wear gold rings with drop-shaped pendants.  Earrings were not the only objects that were worn  in profusion. Women were ornamented by dozens  of necklaces and rings were placed on each joint  of every finger.

This is the method of designing metal with the placement of small gold beads. The Phoenicians elaborated on this procedure to make some of the finest gold filigree to ancient times. Ancient Phoenician Mosaic with Cross Symbol According to the guide on this museum tour, this is a Phoenician mosaic.  Hannibal was a great Phoenician general who used elephants to sneak over the alps and attack Rome in 218 BC.  The Phoenicians and the Greeks fought with each other for control of this area for 1,000 years before the Phoenicians were finally defeated during the second Punic war by the Romans in 212 BC. (Note:If this can be confirmed to be a Pre-Christain Phonecian Mosaic it would be another verification of Bhakti Ananda Goswami's work. For the record St Augustine himslef states that Christianity as a religion predates the Birth of Jesus Christ.)
