As for the Romans, well it is believed that the people of Troy who survived the war, moved to form what was later to become the Roman Empire.
That's what the Aeneid says, but I don't know whether there's really any historical basis there. Apparently there are also legends about the British being descended from the Trojans.
Futurama also mentioned the link between ancient Egypt and space aliens, by the way. From the Egyptians, the inhabitants of Osiris 4 learned how to prepare their dead so as to scare Abbott and Costello.

Trojans are called that because the first ones were used by Paris and Helen.
Okay, so that's utter BS.
I'm reminded of the Simpsons' retelling of the Odyssey. "When people think of wood, they'll think of Trojans!"
