Did the TROJAN War Actually HAPPEN?

#TrojanWar #AncientHistory #Troy Ten years of war. A thousand ships. A giant wooden horse. But did any of it actually happen? For more than 2,000 years, people thought Troy was pure fiction, until one man started digging. In this video, we follow the search for the real Troy: Homer's legend, Heinrich Schliemann's famous (and flawed) excavations at Hisarlik, the nine cities buried in the hill, the layer that burned around 1180 BC, and the Hittite tablets that mention a kingdom called Wilusa. Then we answer the big question: what's real, what's legend, and what we may never know. Based on Homer's Iliad, archaeological research at Troy, and Hittite records. Scholars still debate the Wilusa link and the size of any war, so some details here are best guesses, not proven facts. What do you think? Was it a war over one woman, or over trade?
