Archaeologists found a real ancient city in Turkey that may have inspired the story of Troy, but there is still no proof that the Trojan War happened
Recent archaeological excavations at Hisarlik in Turkey have definitively established the historical site of ancient Troy. Findings from these digs include settlements from the Bronze Age, alongside evidence of fire and arrowheads, hinting at possible conflicts in the area. Hittite texts referencing Wilusa, thought to be Troy, further suggest a history marked by regional strife, blending historical reality with myth surrounding the Trojan War.
