(8 years ago)The horse of Troy was built by the Greeks as part of their maneuver to overthrow the ancient city of Troy and end the war of Troy. For the first time, it is mentioned in the epic virgin poetry of Aeneid at the end of the first century BC. According to legend, the Greeks built it [...]
According to legend, Greeks built it after a 10-year fruitless siege. Elite soldiers hid inside the wooden horse, which was then brought into Troy. During the night, soldiers moved and opened the city gates, allowing the rest of the Greek army to conquer Troy and end war.
Ancient Greek historians believe that the Troy War took place between 1300 and 1100 BC, even though a certain date was not universally accepted, reports “Locking”, Transmission Periscope. This is because Troy had been destroyed and rebuilt several times in its history.
For centuries this account was considered a extinguisher, but a recent archaeological discovery made in modern Turkey could prove that Troy's horse was real.
Turkish archaeologists who dig in the hills of Hisarlik, where once the mighty city of Troy has discovered a large wooden structure, believe it played a vital role in the Troy War. They brought in dozens of points and spruce trunks, some of which were up to 15m in length. The wooden structure was found within the city walls.
The Greek traveler and geographer Pausanias wrote in the 2nd century AD that the horse of Troy was a giant horselike piece. In Post homerica, Quintus Smyrnaus mentions an inscription left behind by Greeks after they won the war: “For their return home, Greeks dedicate this offer to Athenit”. The same inscription was found at the site of the dig.
The facility fits Homer, Virgil and several other historical figures. This led archaeologists to believe that they have really found the siege machine that helped win the war of Troy.
The carbon testing and other tests suggest pieces of wood and other items discovered date back to the 12th or 11th century BC. This fits the dates cited by many ancient historians, such as Eratosthenes, or Proclus.
Prof archaeologists. Christine Morris and Chris Wilson say they are quite convinced that they have found evidence confirming the existence of Troy's Horse. According to them, the structure is indeed linked to the legendary Horse of Troy. All tests conducted confirm their theory.
If they're right, Troy's horse will become another legend that has materialized in a real part of history./Periscopi/
