The Triumph of the Sea Gods, The War against the Goddess Hidden in Homer’s Tales
About The Triumph of the Sea Gods: Homer’s epics of the fall of Troy and the adventures of Ulysses do not describe events that took place in Turkey or the Mediterranean Sea. Homer describes tides and waves not known to the Greeks. The places identified as Troy is over three miles from the Straits of the Dardenelles which do not fit the bill of being a “boundless sea’. His weapons are wrong, his burial customs are not correct and even items such as foods are not correct for the setting. The “Troy” identified by Heinrich Schliemann could not fit 5000 people, and certainly not the 50,000 described in Homer. There were no palaces and no broad avenues.
There is however such a place that does fit the bill. It is on the Atlantic Coast which is a boundless sea with winds, tides and great waves. Like the Trident of the god Neptune who was worshipped there, there existed an area where three cities existed before Athens. One is Lisbon, named for Ulysses. The second is Setubal, named for the pre-Celtic god Baal. The third is ruined today. Its ancient towers poke out of the sands. Destroyed by a great earthquake and a massive tsunami, Troia is no longer host to palaces and warriors.
Triumph of the Sea Gods makes the case that Homer’s tale was brought, with the alphabet, to Greece by the Phoenicians who took over after war and natural disaster ended the rule of Troy.

Treasures from Heaven, Relics from Noah's Ark to the Shroud of Turin
Is the Shroud of Turin an elaborate medieval scam, or is it nothing short of concrete evidence of the Resurrection? Is the venerated skull of St. John the Baptist in France, in Damascus or was it only recently unearthed near the Dead Sea? Will the marvels of modern science debunk the mysteries of sacred relics revered for over two millennia, or will science prove without a doubt what hundreds of millions of the faithful knew in their hearts and souls all along? Treasures from Heaven examines the Ark of the Covenant, Noah’s Ark, the True Cross, the Spear of Destiny, the Shroud of Turin and the Holy Grail. It also probes the legend of the Veil of Veronica, the strange gift of St. Nicholas’ bones, and the mysterious transformation of the blood of San Gennaro. From astronauts climbing Mt. Ararat in search of the Ark, to the less than faithful selling saint’s bones on Ebay, no stone lies unturned in the search for the truth.
