I know the Aeneid is not historical, but how could Aeneas have met Dido when Aeneas was said to have lived in the Trojan War era (12th century BC) and Carthage was founded in the 9th century BC?
>>18418487Well yes, he couldn't have, Virgil was just making up a geopolitical fable.
Troy was located in the Baltic Sea, not Anatolia, and they were of Nordic race. The Aeneid is a fictionalized account of the Nordic ancestry of the Latins though their Bell Beaker ancestors, which came from Northern Europe. Based on what they knew from oral traditions and history at that time.

>>18419129the bell beaker culture originated in the iberian peninsula, on the tagus estuary in portugal. the iberian bell beakers became an indo-european speaking people through a genetic reflux from the german bell beakers, who derived most of their steppe ancestry from the corded ware culture. the latins derive their steppe ancestry from steppe migrations occurring ~1300 b.c., if memory serves me right, and urnfield migrations from north of the alps, to the po valley south of the alps.stop larping, please.
