For centuries, the city of Troy, as immortalized in Homer's epic, the Iliad, has captured the imagination of historians, archaeologists, and mythology enthusiasts. The city, ruled by King Priam during the legendary Trojan War, has long been thought of as a mere myth. But could the traces of this fabled city actually lie buried beneath the mound of Hissarlik in modern-day Turkey?
Join us as we embark on a thrilling journey of discovery, exploring the archaeological findings at Hissarlik, the intriguing evidence, and the ongoing debates among scholars. We'll hear from leading archaeologists, historians, and classicists who are at the forefront of this fascinating investigation.
We'll examine the pioneering work of Heinrich Schliemann, the 19th-century archaeologist who first proposed that Hissarlik was the site of Troy. We will scrutinize the artifacts, the architectural remnants, and the geographical congruences that seem to support this theory, and weigh them against the counter-arguments.
Is the Hissarlik Hill the site of the legendary city of Troy? Or are we still far from solving this ancient mystery? Uncover the clues with us, and form your own conclusions!
