Did you know that : Historian and Icelandic poet Snorri Sturluson was considered Asgard ... Troy

The importance of knowledge is so great because the information is the most important resurce.
This is also why we must know about the history and especially to know the ancestors, to know how their actions have been glorious.
 In Norse Religion, Asgard  is one of the Nine Worlds and is the country or capital city of the Norse Gods.
  The primary sources regarding Asgard come from the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson, and the Poetic , compiled in the 13th century from a basis of much older Skaldic poetry.
Snorri further writes that Asgard is a land more fertile than any other, blessed also with a great abundance of gold and jewels. Correspondingly, the Æsir excelled beyond all other people in strength, beauty and talent.
Snorri proposes the location of Asgard as Troy, the center of the earth. About it were 12 kingdoms and 12 chiefs. One of them, Múnón, married Priam's daughter, Tróán, and had by her a son, Trór, to be pronounced Thor in Old Norse. The latter was raised in Thrace. At age 12 he was whiter than ivory, had hair lighter than gold, and could lift 10 bear skins at once. He explored far and wide.
  As shown, there is more information about our Thracians ancestors and how they have changed the course of history.
