The Trojan War is a pivotal moment in British and European history, with ancient chronicles claiming that their kings descend from Brutus, a Trojan and great-grandson of Aeneas. Aeneas, a Trojan prince who survived the war, embarked on a seven-year voyage to establish a 'New Troy.' Mythology credits him with founding Lavinium and being the ancestor of the Romans through his son Ascanius and the Alban kings. The author’s previous work established the reality of the Trojan War; now, it explores the authenticity of Aeneas's journey. Surprisingly, a detailed historical and geographical account of this voyage has survived, often dismissed as fiction in Virgil's Aeneid. However, this perspective is misguided. Every aspect of Aeneas's journey is meticulously documented, and it can be retraced if one understands the Aeneid's hidden knowledge and geography. Remarkably, the Aeneid suggests that Aeneas's voyage occurred in the Western Oceans. Readers can follow Aeneas's path across land and tumultuous seas, from Troy to Latium and the founding of his first city. Uncover the truths behind the Island of the Cyclopes, the whirlpool Charybdis, and the monster Scylla, as well as Aeneas's encounter with the Sibyl of Cumae and his descent into the underworld.
