Were the Trojans a different people from the Greeks?
Did they look different?
All illustrations paint them as looking almost identical to the Greeks, but modern Turks are a lot more swarthy.
Come to think of it I'm not even sure if the Trojans spoke the same language.
ILIOTES WERE RACIALLY ARYANID, CULTURALLY ARYAN —UNTIL THEY WERE CONQUERED BY TURANIANS FROM THE EAST—, AND SPOKE "LUWIAN".
AKHAIANS WERE RACIALLY CROMAGNONEADERTHALID (PELASGIANS/MARITIME TURANIANS), CULTURALLY TURANIAN, AND SPOKE "MYKENAIAN".

So you're saying that Trojans looked like modern Iranians then?
>>3323567
?
LEARN TO READ.
>>3323567
modern Iranians are mixed with Arabs, Trojans weren't
>>3323564
Apparently when the Turks defeated Greece in the 1920's war Atatürk said "Hector we have avenged you"
>>3323564
Yes

Why do all Meds look the same?
>>3323577
Mehmed the Conqueror also said something along that line after taking Constantinople.
>>3323631
Last time I checked Iran was not around the Med.
>>3323543
Turkey is pretty diverse though.
Western turks look more like greeks.
>>3323543
The only written document found there is a written Luwian seal, Luwian is a language that was spoken in many city states from South and West Anatolian which belonged to Anatolian branch of the Indoeuropean language family

>Were the Trojans a different people from the Greeks?
Yes, this is a major plot point in assembling the armies that fought at Troy.
>Did they look different?
Probably.
>All illustrations paint them as looking almost identical to the Greeks, but modern Turks are a lot more swarthy.
Pure conjecture.
>Come to think of it I'm not even sure if the Trojans spoke the same language.
As a trading hub, it's likely that the city's elite spoke some Greek.
>>3323613
We western turks are basically a mix of anatolians and our turkic ancestors anyway.
Wherever turkic people settled they mixed the locals.
>>3323697
How is it a plot point?
>>3323700
The allies of the Trojans spoke a variety of languages, making communication between them difficult at times.
>>3323702
How is this proof They were Greeks?
Modern Greeks have Slavic origins which makes them paler but doesn't really help out them economically
>>3323543
We have no idea.
Later Greeks sometimes paint them as being "Easterners", but just how different the inhabitants of the Anatolian coast were to the Mycenaean Greeks back in the bronze age simply isn't known.
>>3323735
I'm going to assume that English isn't your first language.

Turboretard spotted. Avoid posting again. They were pretty much the same thing per Lazaridis 2017. Aryan invasion only brought about 5% new genes into Greece.
>>3323753
It isn't, so?
>>3323755
You are an idiot, we have no idea What They spoke, They could have spoken Luwian, Greek or some other obscure language
Trojans were black.
>>3323766
I explicitly stated that "Yes, the Trojans were a different people to the Greeks."
>>3323742
Greeks actually dont have slavic origins.. Only some parts of the northen macedonia (the greek region) have slavic dna
>>3323809
a correction: i mean that they have greek dna but with some slavic dna to it.
They were probably close enough to Mycenean Greeks,cuz muh neighbors after all,but yes id assume that they were a different group of people
Trojans = Anatolians
Turks = Anatolians
Turks = Trojans
Indians = Americans
British, Germans, Irish = Americans
Americans = Indians

Um... Go look at pictures of Romans if you want to know what Trojans looked like.
