First, There is no definitive answer to this question, as the Hittite and Greek cultures had different literary traditions and genres. Second, the story of the "Song of Release", between exchange of captives between the cities Ebla and Ikinkalis, is not original, it has been going on since warfare was invented. Third, the story of the "Cuthean Legend", where Sargonic king Naram-Sin faces a series of invasions by monstrous enemies sent by the gods, and where he consults the gods by omens, but disregards their advice and suffers a defeat is as old as religion was invented. Fourth, not all scholars agree with your contention.@@KenFullman

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

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??

[@GMZohar14]

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.

[@ben-jam-in6941]

My opinion on the matter. I’m convinced that once in the Bronze Age a war happened at the cite we now think is Troy and that it was between the Mycenaean Greeks and the sometimes vassal state of the Hittite kingdom named Wilusa. It might have even been fought over the “theft” of certain women or at least that used as a reason or “false flag”. The Mycenaeans often raided parts of “Asia” as they called it for women to work as slaves of the state working the flax plants into linen. Why couldn’t it have happened the other way around. I don’t understand why the Greeks would want to make what has really been the most important national or cultural myth of a war against some random city on the Troad in Asia Minor. The Hittite library of different cuneiform texts has also made it more interesting since they were deciphered. Also I’ll add that we have known the bay came up near the city in the Bronze Age, the anti chariot like ditch cut into the bedrock, and the dug out cave spring matches description very nicely. Some of the things Homer or whoever wrote down the Iliad explained so perfectly were long grown over or built over by the classical era so that complicates Homer just making it up. Finally I think the Mycenaean Greek states did very likely choose a prominent, “well bread”, older family member, or powerful strongman type king to led on the largest war expeditions. Yes they fought each other at times probably over the transfer of the kingship of a area after the death of a king without an heir to the throne. These were hard times and people died young. All my info except for a couple points I give all the credit to the wonderful documentary series by Micheal Wood called “In search of the Trojan War”. Watch all 6 episodes please you’ll love it. PS he made a lot of these claims like the fact water once did come up near the city back in the 1980’s and really gets into the most interesting important Hittite connections. Remember tons of historians and archaeologists aren’t ever gonna say it happened period. They are taught not to. They say well your guessing but they do when they want to and call it interpretation and usually just say something is “a mythological cite” or “spiritual, religious”. History especially pre history is full of much farther speculative interpretations than saying a war between the Mycenaean Greeks and Troad Trojans of Wilusa happened and became an even bigger beautiful myth.

[@magdahearne497]

Michael Wood's series was excellent I agree. I can never understand why historians just think some stories are myths....why wouldn't Homer write a play of an event that the Greeks would celebrate like the war against Ilium? Makes sense that he'd write a "best-seller" as it were, any play write wants to have bums on seats & a successful run of his play.

[@ben-jam-in6941]

@@magdahearne497 That’s exactly my opinion as well. Like Wood says in one of the videos in that series “why would the Greek national myth be about Ilium if it wasn’t based on some ancient reality”. Why pick that far off place when we know Greeks fought wars among themselves and closer neighbours?

[@magdahearne497]

Exactly! Most victors would want to crow about their heroes & their exploits in battles that were won against outside enemies & any sneaky tactics that were used....it's only human nature to have a "my dog's better than your dog" moment. It's good PR to have it known by your enemies that these things are celebrated & recorded, to make others think twice before attacking you.

[@ben-jam-in6941]

@@magdahearne497 And that would eventually lead to those heroes doing demigod like things in the story. It all probably started out as a more reasonable recollection of what really happened during the so called “Trojan” war then over time it became this absolutely wonderful yet at times unbelievable story. A modern example.. well kind of is like Normandy Veterans of the Second World War. If you added up all the veterans who said they saw a Tiger tank then the Germans must have built 10’s of thousands when in reality they only built something like 1500 and most went to fight the Russians. No doubt they had some Tigers in France but they couldn’t all have seen Tigers. Also every time the Germans shelled the Allies it was from the 88mm. It was widespread but the German army had larger more destructive caliber guns and a lot of smaller ones like the very destructive 75mm. Over the years and possibly by mistake due to a real and reasonable fear of the monster Tiger tank and it’s general popularity has made every Veteran on almost all documentaries talk about seeing a Tiger. I think some saw panzer 4’s with the very long high velocity 75mm and possibly with that slab side armor. If you hadn’t fought in North Africa then you likely hadn’t seen either tank in the flesh until Normandy. This is important.. I mean zero disrespect to any Allied Veteran and honestly have more respect for the few who are still with us and those who have passed than any other group of human beings I can think of. As for those who gave up their lives for the sake of humanity and civilization during the war… well words fail me. Absolute RESPECT comes to mind.

The treasures being from a time earlier than Homer's Troy could be explained this way - it was likely looted by Troy from somewhere else. And before that, likely by various conquerors. No different from the Soviets who had taken these from Germany during WW II. And Schielman from Turkey.

[@MatCendana]

The Trojan Horse - I think this might not have existed. At least not in the dramatic way Homer had said. For one thing, even if a huge wooden horse was made, it's not likely the Trojan wouldn't have investigated it first before pulling into the city. With soldiers inside, it would have been very heavy and made the Trojans suspicious. More likely would be the Greeks getting turncoats from inside the city.

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.

Just so people realise, the East had cities, but it didn't mean the West was grubbing in the dirt, barely existing, they had a different way of life more based on herding cattle and horses, metallurgy and, as always, Europeans have been masters of war. When the proto-Celtic Naue II or "grip-tongue" sword made it to the East, the late bronze age collapse was upon them. Its use and the new tactics with it decimated the Mycenaean, Egyptian, Hittite, and Assyrian empires, in the hands of Mediterranean Sea Peoples.

Myths are mostly memories...

[@masada2828]

Myths are built on fact.

[@about2mount]

Paul in the Bible's New Testament mentions Troy's location twice in Acts 16.

[@gokhansayram1778]

Troy must have been a strategic location that could have controlled the entrance od the Dardanelles straight able to tax ships passing through. Hence it would make perfect sense for Agamemnon to use the abduction of Helen to declare war against them in the pretext of saving their honour. It was the excuse they needed.

[@kw19193]

The premise of this episode is dodgy to say the least. Hisarlik has been accepted as the site of ancient Troy for at least the last one hundred years, a few alternate sites championed by self-serving skeptics notwithstanding. Too, the trope that Homer's tale could not have reflected anything resembling the actual events as they took place on the ground has been debunked, not in toto of course, but at least in significant part. The narrative of this show -- that if you accept Hisarlik as Troy then you must accept everything in Homer as fact, is rubbish, laughed at by scholars but motivation for producers of a television show attempting to manufacture controversy (designed of course to lure viewers). They really indulge in some serious stupidity -- where are the Trojan royal tombs, etc . . . And most of the discoveries that they imply are quite recent and that they reluctantly allow solidifies Hisarlik's identification as Troy were made decades ago, a truly childish form of manipulation. But then television will never be mistaken for scholarship . . . Cheers!

[@ASHKUM-uw2qg]

Greeks or Trojans never buried their dead; they burned them on funeral pyre. Hence tombs are not to be found. Since Hissarlik is just another coastal town of Greek civilization, and several archaeological founds strongly indicate it to be Troy is not far from truth. Until Homer the Trojan war passed from generation to generation orally, He was the first scholar who wrote it in letters. He being first to compose 700 years after the Trojan war does not mean it was just a fictional story, though it may not be exactly the same what happened actually.

That looks like a traditional Armenian Women's head dress .. and Armenia has sites dating older than Troy

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

generational paradigms like this happen in every field of life. They've done the same with exodus all built on a foundation of mistakes and wrong chronology. Its paradigms in biology geology evolution you name it. Even in everyday life.

[@masada2828]

The Exodus has the correct chronology, 1445 BC but not all agree. It’s quite easy to figure, 480 from the building of the first Temple of 965 BC.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

If only they could find some graffiti that said, “Achilles was here”. That would pretty much settle things.

[@bugsby4663]

Brilliant documentary. The detractors are rather annoying because no one is saying that the Trojan War happened exactly as in Homer. I think most people understand that the Iliad is a mythological account of a real and probably shorter and less epic war. Just because Spiderman isn't real, doesn't mean New York City doesn't exist.

[@anutanastase5687]

MistyHerbie Iliad and Odyssee were firstvoll Gospels of prehellenic religion which sacred centre was Achileia. Now, the remnants are the small town of Chilia, half in Ukraine, half in Romania. The tribe of Molosians lead by Andromaca, left Troy and settled near Achileia. Alexander the Great considered the Molosians his ancestors and paid a visit them, crossing Danube river at Isaccea, Achileia beeing situated on a bank of Danube. He restored the town, with walls and temples. The Greeks from the colonies in his way fought against Alexander, at that time Macedonia being not colonised by Greeks. Later, over the text of this gospels, they superposed a story. Achilles, as son of God Zeus and planet Tetis, (Eart), is a equivalency of "modern" Jesus Christ. Odysseus too.

@@anutanastase5687 ??.Scholars, in. websites,.say that Trojans were Lowians a defunct Indo.Euro people, related toGreeks, Germanics, Celts, Persians N Indians, etc. Also, imperial.wars. always have wraltpower status as goals. Troy was commercial.gateway for Greeks to trade + many Black Sea countries---- strong Troy meant high tariffs for Greeks, etc. If Helen.of Sparta +,Troy was real, perhaps she was a Greek covert agent an excuse for Greek coalition to attack Troy + its trade tariff monopoly--- agent provacateur?

The Iliad does not tell of the Fall of Troy. Rather famously it doesn't. What is this?

[@holeshothunter5544]

Is it real? I went there. That made it obvious.

Sliman find another ancient city, not the Troe. Homer has hide it very well and we are the blind men.

Of course Homer's story is correct. Believe Homer.

[@ralphehlers849]

How do they "know" they have found Troy ? Did Homer say Troy was/is in Turkey ? Did the Greeks then fight Turks ?

[@yvonne530]

Maurico Druon, secretary of the French Academy: "Albanians belonging to those people older than History itself. Albanian grandparents participated in the war of Troy, led by Achilles (on one side) and Hector (the other side) ". Troy was a battle between North Albanians/ Illyrians Gheg und South Albanians/Pelasgians Tosk. Helen was never the reason! There were some religious conflicts between Illyrians and Pelasgians. Troy was not a city, but a region with 12 communities in North Albania. You find all the myths of that time stamped on the North Albanian folkloric costumes.

[@illyricum701]

Correct. Troyans are northern (dardania,kosovo,macedonia)
