Trojan War 
 In the middle 19th century scholars thought Troy and the war were mythical; that they never existed.
Trojan War 
 However, Heinrich Schliemann discovered the site of ancient Troy, across the Aegean Sea on Asia Minor.
Trojan War 
 The Bronze Age was the first era known for humans to create tools and weapons made out of metal which replaced their stone versions.
Trojan War 
 Beginning in about 3,300 B.C throughout the Middle East and parts of Asia, humans made many innovative advances throughout this age.
Trojan War 
 Branching off of the Mycenaean civilization and located in Histarlik, the northeast coast of Turkey, this ancient city dates back to over 2,700 years ago.
Trojan War 
 Believed to be inhabited for almost 4,000 years beginning in 3,000 B.C., this civilization developed grand palaces by building on top of one city after another was destroyed.
Trojan War 
 Gert Jan van Wingaarden, in his book “Troy: City, Homer and Turkey,” writes, “ There is no one single Troy, there are at least 10, lying in layers on top of each other.”
Trojan War 
 He says that the city of Troy contains many layers which is why archeological excavators have yet to reach the remains of the first settlement.
Trojan War 
 Along with enhancing their city the Trojans developed their own writing system and occupied the Dardanelles, a narrow water channel connecting the Aegean Sea to the Black Sea.
Trojan War 
 The writing system and water channel advanced the city of Troy into a powerful civilization which allowed for many allies to be made but also an arising rivalry.
Trojan War 
 According to Homer’s story, Illiad, the civilization was doomed to fall as long as the Trojan King’s son, Alexander, remained alive due to a curse placed upon him at birth by Zeus.
Trojan War 
 The story of the Trojan war  concludes to why such an advanced and powerful civilization like Troy was able to be completely destroyed.
Trojan War 
 The origins of the war (in the Iliad) started at the wedding of King Peleus and the nereid (sea-nymph) Thetis.
Trojan War 
 The goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite caught the apple at the same time and fought over who was the most beautiful.
Trojan War 
 Of course, Aphrodite had not thought about the fact that the most beautiful woman, Helen, Queen of Sparta, already had a husband (King Menelaus of Sparta).
Trojan War 
 The reason gods were introduced to the Greek culture was to serve as an answer to the origin of man, as well as to offer authority figures that could be summoned when the Greek needed help.
Trojan War 
 They were an important aspect of Greek culture that flowed over into literature, art, and other topics.
Trojan War 
 They have the power to know just about everything and are the highest in authority without any other power above them.
Trojan War 
 Throughout the majority of Homer’s writings, Zeus is so supreme that he is used to represent the collective power of gods and Zeus is so commonly mentioned.
Trojan War 
 Unlike some works of writing and some cultures, the gods throughout Homer’s work have no relation to religion but are rather their own separate thing.
Trojan War 
 When night fell, the Greeks hiding inside the horse opened the city gates and set fire to the houses.
Trojan War 
 Two of the most famous of these stories are Homer’s poetry about this war in his books, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Trojan War 
 Full of exaggerations, distortions, contradictions, and pure fictions, these two books do not give a clear indication whether or not the Trojan war actually occurred.
Trojan War 
 Oral tradition has a tendency to not contain precise memories and can morph into different claims based on different cultural influences and intentions.
Trojan War 
 For example, the Iliad is shown to have many similar aspects to characters and wars originating from stories throughout the Hellenic world, like the duel between Lycian Sapedon and Rhodian.
Trojan War 
 First, a heroic tradition may be constructed to seem as an event that holds more significance than it truly does.
Trojan War 
 In Herodotus’s version of the Trojan War, he says “his narrative is presented as belonging to the realm of ‘what is said’ rather than ‘what is known.”
Trojan War 
 He tries to present a credible source of the story by eliminating the gods by making Helen be the daughter of a human, Tyndareus, rather than the daughter of a god.
Trojan War 
 He also makes Alexander (Paris) not judge on the beauty of the three goddesses and become convinced by Aphrodite’s promise to marry Helen.
Trojan War 
 He does this because humans decide on their own what is and is not credible about ancient civilizations.
Trojan War 
 He knew the popular opinion would be that people do not see supernatural as credible but instead as fiction.
Trojan War 
 For example, different civilizations would use the information as “propagandistic purposes” to make their civilization look heroic or enemy civilizations remain monstrous.
Trojan War 
 The process of passing down stories through word of mouth as the only source leads to inevitable change to the truth in the story through the different cultural influences of those telling the story.
Trojan War 
 For example, if the Spartans were telling their perspective of the Trojan war compared to the Trojans, then the two stories will most likely be very different.
Trojan War 
 Thirdly, the traditions may become distorted in time including the original main idea so that it is not recognizable from the rest of the evidence.
Trojan War 
 The story is known to be part of spatium histoicum which is the clear belonging of a deep past in which accurate knowledge is difficult to obtain.
Trojan War 
 For example there is also no written evidence to validate the Trojan war and archeologists can not yet provide evidence of who attacked Troy.
Trojan War 
 This makes the storyline much easier to change and is why many researchers believe the Trojan war stories are about war with enemies created as a result of a copper shortage in Greece.
Trojan War 
 At the time, the Trojans were the only ones that would have access to the copper supply in the Back Sea.
Trojan War 
 Overall, these variations in the story of the Trojan war are not reliable sources to aid figuring out whether the Trojan war happened or not; however, they help give an understanding of the cultural background and intentions of the people during this era.
Trojan War 
 There is no evidence proving the Trojan War did occur, rather there are accounts of information gathered from various excavations suggesting that if the Trojan War did occur, Hisarlik was most likely the site it did.
Trojan War 
 Hisarlik consists of an ordinary low lying mound with some bits of broken pavement, building foundations, and walls.
Trojan War 
 Visitors who visit Hisarlik can see a large wooden horse, built in more recent years, that serves as an aid in convincing individuals Hisarlik is the true site of Homer’s Troy.
Trojan War 
 On the Destructions of Troy VI and VII” reminds individuals that our trust in a historical Trojan War is rooted in Homer who is not a historian, but rather a poet.
Trojan War 
 He also specified that because Homer is a poet, part of his role in creating content is exaggerating for better effect, and therefore evidence in support of a Trojan War needs to be independent from Homer’s epic.
Trojan War 
 One point made by skeptics of the Trojan War was that it was extremely unlikely that a civilization would declare war and gather a fleet of hundreds of ships over a dispute of a woman, the original belief of the spark of conflict However, Bronze Age kings occasionally were willing to go to war over the abduction of any one of their subjects, but even more so when that subject was a family member.
Trojan War 
 The information that will provide the most insight into the historical significance of the war are the excavations that occurred.
Trojan War 
 The first step in establishing the physical location of the war is to find a clearly identifiable location for the war.
Trojan War 
 Even so, Heinrich Schliemann favored other locations as the official site of Troy before settling on Hisarlik.
Trojan War 
 Heinrich Schliemann, perhaps the archaeologist most involved with the search of Troy, began excavations in Hisarlik in 1871.
Trojan War 
 Because Troy is made of several settlements, another challenge was finding which of the layers were the most likely to match up with the war.
Trojan War 
 Without much prior knowledge on excavation, Schliemann had his crew dig a trench through the site, which resulted in the destruction of several of the upper layers.
Trojan War 
 The dwellings and what could be found on that level of the mound did not add up with Homer’s description with Troy, which then required excavation into the later layers.
Trojan War 
 However, because Schliemann had destroyed most of the newer layers, there was only a little bit of the sixth settlement that survived, which does not provide for a large representation of the settlement.
Trojan War 
 Pottery found on the site of Hisarlik showed that Troy VI most likely ended around the first ¾ of the thirteenth century.
Trojan War 
 The date of 1250 is in very close proximity to the date given by Heredotos, a Greek historian and as well as given by other Classical Greek sources.
Trojan War 
 This level also represented a peak period of the layers, once again supporting the idea that it truly was the site of the Trojan War.
Trojan War 
 However, even with these pieces of evidence, the similar accounts between Homer’s Troy and Hisarlik are still generally slight and do not show any significant evidence.
Trojan War 
 Another indication that the Trojan War may have occurred is that the excavation of Troy VI provided evidence that signified violent destruction.
Trojan War 
 However, yet again there is no way to be certain whether the destruction was caused by humans or the environment, or both.
Trojan War 
 Over the years, the story of the Trojan War has become an icon as an action-packed tv show like Troy: Fall of a City as well as a binge worthy fictional novel like Daughter of Troy by Dave Duncan.
Trojan War 
 In order for creators to make these films and books portray as authentic, they add archeological information to aid the culture, history, clothing and supplies used to relate to the ancient civilization.
Trojan War 
 Some examples include bronze blades and weapons which were artifacts introduced within the Bronze age, a walled city to portray the structure of the ancient cities within Greece, and the incorporation of the references to the Greek gods and goddesses watching every action they make to show their cultural beliefs.
Trojan War 
 The incorporation of archeological information within pop culture is very relevant and an important aspect to making any type of film, image or novel a success.
Trojan War 
 the Iliad by Homer, does not tell the story of the Trojan War from the beginning, but only a part of the last year of the siege of Troy.
Trojan War 
 Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets like Virgil and Ovid.
Trojan War 
 in the Odyssey by Homer, the main character Odysseus tells of the ten-year journey home after the Trojan War.
