    Ptolemais Theron location is unknown. But as it is in EB's map, I'd reckon it is around Massawa, in Eritrea.

    No, but the ruins of Kart-Hadast are near Tunis.

    No the thread is not useless, and I have never stated that it was.

    "Hisarlik, often spelled Hissarlik, is the modern name for the site of ancient Troy, also known as Ilion, and is located in what is now Turkey (historically Anatolia)." —courtesy of Wikipedia.

    I can't believe I'm the first person to list this!

    Well, the thread is only supposed to list settlements present in EB, which Troy isn't. Though I see that other absent cities have been listed as well.

    Welcome to the .Org, and to EB.
