Explore Troy

I escaped the cold rain and heavy snowfall in Istanbul by swept south of Turkey to listen to the anthem of the great poet Homer's Troy.

I take a bus for 6 lira to Troy, about 40 km from Canakkale. On the high hills, in the golden sunlight, the snow-covered city of Canakkale has a beautiful arc right on the Dardanelles, jutting out the blue sea. In ancient times, a busy trading port was born in the land that was the intersection between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
Troy is not as beautiful as many Roman cities that I have passed through

. There was only a pile of rubble bricks that were trying to poke out of the thin snow to let them warm. I have to read carefully every word on the glossary in order to imagine the bustle of a city dating back to 5,000 BC. So many wars have been passed in ancient times when Turkey was the bridge connecting the two Eurasian continents that no one remembers where Troy was buried in the historic land of Anatolia The Trojar War is real because archaeologists have found stone carvings dating back to 670 BC that describe the 10-year match with the end of a tall wooden horse on the throne.



Temple in Greece and then mentioned in the song Iliad by poet Homer from the land of Izmir. But what makes everyone curious is where Troy is located.
In 1871, just out of love for the Iliad anthem, wealthy German businessman Heinrich Schliemann went to Canakkale to find the remains of Troy. He believed that Hisarlik Hill was the site of the Trojan War for two reasons: Homer was born in the land of Izmir quite close to Canakkale, so he knew the war well enough to put in the Iliad and Odyssey hymns. Hisarlik Hill was excavated with results that made archeologists suddenly unable to determine whether it was Troy or not because many buildings located on the upper floor such as the temple of Athena, theater, bath .. All are Roman traces built in the 1st century BC.




However, many researchers still believe that Troy was here because hidden deep underground were copper-minted coins and printed with the image of Prince Hector, porcelain pieces depicting Prince Paris meeting Helen in the city. Sparta or on a silver goblet depicting King Piram humbled himself before Achilles to confirm Prince Hector's burial, or wine urns depicting the chaos inside while Troy was swept ... found. All content is exactly like what was carved on stone in ancient Greek temples and is no different from the content of the movie later reconstructed. Troy collapsed and was rebuilt nine times in ancient times before losing its halo in the 1st century BC.
No matter the truth about Troy, as I stand here still feel a bloody nine-year battle just for power, status and love, which always exist in modern human life.



The war was closed with a wooden horse in year 10. It is said that, coming to Troy on winter days, you are not afraid to fight with anyone on the high steps of the horse. Tall wood lies in front of the campus. Walking on those steps, I heard again the long sounds of Macedonia as the war entered the fierce fighting in the movie of the same name.
The Greeks had the right to hold their heads high and proud in their history books for that war, although it was unknown how many people had laid down on the earth intersecting the two seas. I remember the heroic image of Achilles falling in love after Troy fell by the unjust arrow of Prince Paris shot in the heel. Man is never "perfect", even though he has the protection of his body by the gods. Not many people can escape the beauty gate from Paris to Achilles .
