AENEAS, Hector’s successor as Troy’s Commander, fled to Carthage (now in Tunisia) around 1190 BCE, then to Latium (Italy). Roman ruler Julius Caesar, much later, claimed he descended from Aeneas.

Aeneas was a grandson of King Capys of Dardania. Aeneas’ grandfather was King Capys of Dardania, a kingdom north of Mount Ida, just east of Troy in northwestern Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), south of the Hellespont, a few miles northeast of Troy.

Aeneas was Troy’s Second-in-Command (under Troy’s Prince Hector) in the war against the Mycenaean Greek fleet that attacked Troy after Trojan Prince Paris stole Sparta’s gold and eloped with its Queen Helen.

Paris’s ostensibly friendly visit and his crimes in Sparta, while Helen’s husband was in Crete, ignited the war between Sparta’s Mycenaean Greek alliance and the Greek-speaking people of NE Turkey.

Aeneas’ father, ANCHISES, a noble Dardanian Earthling, begat Aeneas with Anunnaki Inanna, known to the Greeks as Aphrodite.**

The Centaur CHIRON, part of a race of half-human, half-horse beings created by Enki/Poseidon, trained Aeneas in warfare.

Aeneas married CREUSA, a daughter of Dardania’s overlord, King Priam of Troy.

After the Greek Hero Achilles killed Hector, Aeneas became the overall commander of the Trojans.

Aeneas was outside Troy’s walls when the Greeks, in the wooden horse they gave to Troy, opened the city’s gates and slaughtered the Trojans within. Aeneas organized a rescue of survivors but had to flee. He carried his father, Anchises, on his back. Greeks killed Creusa as she tried to escape with Aeneas.

AENEAS BONDED WITH CARTHAGE’S QUEEN

In Carthage, Queen Dido’s brother, Pygmalion, had murdered her husband, Sychaeus. Widow Queen Dido entertained Aeneas & his crew for a year. He dazzled her with his exploits in the Trojan War.

“In the Aeneid (by Virgil), which Julius Caesar cited to justify his apotheosis, a storm blew Aeneas to Carthage, Queen DIDO’s North African City. Some scholars believe Virgil fabricated this to flatter Rome’s Emperors—Augustus succeeded Caesar and had The Aeneid published anyhow.

As Dido and Aeneas connected, IARBUS, King of nearby Getulia, who wanted Dido himself, became angry. She had refused Iarbus’ marriage proposal, she said, because she still mourned Sychaeus. But she fell for Aeneas & took him as her lover. To her subjects, her affair with Aeneas proved her disloyal to Carthage.  Iarbus asked Zeus to make Aeneas leave Carthage.  Zeus told Aeneas to go.

AENEAS THOUGHT HE COULDN’T DISOBEY ZEUS’ COMMAND, so Aeneas & his men sneaked off & sailed for Italy.

Aeneas’ departure burned up Dido (she died in a funeral pyre she made herself).

To Dido’s subjects, Dido’s passionate love affair with Aeneas compromised her loyalty to her kingdom. She had chosen love over duty to her realms & people, but Aeneas honored his duty over his love for Dido. He continued on his mission: founding Rome.

He stopped at Sicily & organized funeral games to honor his father, Anchises, who had died a year before.

Aeneas arrived on Italy’s west coast at the kingdom of the Latins, where KING LATINUS welcomed him. Aeneas asked the King for his daughter, Lavinia, in marriage.

When King Latinus died, Aeneas became the king of the area and built a city for himself, which he called Lavinium.

But peace did not last. News of Dido’s suicide reached Aeneas. Lavinia, driven by jealousy, raged at her husband’s past love.

Before his death, Aeneas had fathered a son with Lavinia, Silvius. Silvius would become the ancestor of Romulus, the founder of Rome.*

**The names of the same Anunnaki Royals varied with the regions where they lived. When they were in Sumer, they had one set of names—Enki, Marduk, Ninurta, Enlil.

In Greece, these same Anunnaki, who claimed they rocketed to Earth from the Planet Nibiru, took the names Psoideon, Zeus/Ahura Mazda, and Apollo; Enlil became Yahweh in Canaan. Inanna became Aphrodite in Greece.

When Marduk became the Supreme Anunnaki “god” in 2024 BCE, he declared that all the other Anunnaki Royals were but avatars or aspects of him.
