Ancient Troy was actually a mediaeval Jerusalem?

Many Byzantine historians of the Middle Ages refer to Troy as an existing mediaeval town. Moreover, several mediaeval historians identify Troy as Jerusalem; This fact embarrasses modern historians greatly, leading them to such comments as: Homers actual book somewhat suddenly turns into an account of the devastation of Jerusalem, in a mediaeval text describing Alexanders arrival in Troy. Anna Comnena, a mediaeval author, somewhat unexpectedly locates Jerusalem in Ithaca, Greece, the very island where Ulysses was born.This is most peculiar indeed, since it is known perfectly well that modern Jerusalem isnt located on an island.

well... Trojans were Greek Homer's "Enedae" or with other words. Greeks called old Venedi "Enedae" without letter "V". "Greek" name for Troy (3) was "Illios"... again - trojan (Venetic - old Slavic) name was "Vilios" or Veelos or Volos or Vaalos or Vol (Baal) or Veles - representing Taurus (Bull) - also compare Hittite Bull... There were many "Veles" cities; including Phoenician (pre-Semitic) Venetic (Ph = F or V again) "Baal-bek" (Vaal's or Veles's city..)
