Outstanding. Thanks to the perseverance of one man, humanity added a major jewel to its treasure. In memoriam of archeologist Manfred Korfmann, leading the works at this site. R.I.P.

I was there in 1985. Fascinating place. It was a Turkish holiday so I don't remember anyone else being there except a guy selling hand made Trojan horses from match sticks (I still have it), a ticket seller and 2 of my friends.

I live in Turkey, this documentary is very successful. I believe that troy was real and the trojan war likely exist in here !

[sureshbehani]

That motivation can do anything. thanks to everyone who ever involved in this venture.god bless them.

In Ephesus they had the same thing with the nearby sea. It was in former times much closer than it is today

[mariaconnolly]

Thanks for a great watch interesting makes you wonder what if it’s true

[cruisepaige]

Ancient stuff gives my brain a break from today while working.

A cogent discourse I have ever heard! Marvelous!

Troy must have been an incredible sight back then. Impressive walls, and large buildings painted with vibrant colors. The sights, sounds and smells, good and bad, of a large ancient bronze age city. The war could easily have been fought for 10 years, but it probably was on and off, not constant. Although the 10 year time frame, like the 1, 000 ships was probably an exaggeration, an embellishment, for dramatic purposes, just like follywood does today. And if the beach at Troy was all swamp and marsh land (mosquitos heaven) where did the Greek fleet land and camp??

[GMZohar]

I mean are the arrows and spear head found in the walls greek made or same as all the others found around the site? Cause typically only enemy weaponry would be found embedded into the walls, unless of course their was perhaps a civil war at some point in time which would explain it.

[RUcookoo]

It was not only Helen's beauty that launched a thousand ships - like Hercules she was divine birth from Zeus, but you keep your minds on the rocks !

[brendadion]

Enjoying this! Just remember..Homer was a poet.

i wish I had enough time to visit the actual Troy site in June 2019, but I was on my way to Ephesus after spending 1 night at Kanakkali, Turkey. I did see the Hollywood version of the wodern trojan horse sitting in the square facing the sea, still awesome view. I wish to visit this place again, such a peacefull town in front of the sea today.

I've seen numerous documentaries on Troy over the years and this one is good. I have never believed in the "Helen" part of the story. Nor do I believe in the duration of 10 years. I'm even skeptical of 10 months when considering the amount of infrastructure required to fight a war for 10 years. Imagine the amount of food, water, armament, arrows and the amount of soldiers that were killed everyday. I also don't believe in the 10 year voyage home of Odyseus. I have no problem believing that this is the location of Troy, but the war was fought for greed and wealth. One of the documentaries I've seen mention a wall in Troy that could not be scaled by the Greeks as it was smooth and the stones were rounded as if by heating. The narrator did a test with the same type of stones and fire and the stones did become smooth. Schliemann discovered this wall and it was where Homer said it was. As added proof for the validity of the site being Troy, DNA tests could be done on the human remains that lie outside of the walls of Troy to determine if they are Greek in origin.

It’s literally EXACTLY how it was described. It makes me really think like about Plato and Atlantis. I’ve been obsessed with the eye of the Sahara for a while now and it just seems so perfect for that to be the sight of Atlantis. “Why isn’t anything there anymore” because there was a giant flood. If you look at the sand striatum s and the ripples of the desert the waves had to have been insanely massive. So water will wash away anything if it’s powerful enough

Finally the truth about this incredible city of acient times! 👍
