Overview of the ruins of Troy
Troy was built by the ancient Greeks when they crossed the sea around16th century BC, and flourished from13rd century BC to12nd century BC. The excavation of Troy site began in the middle of19th century and lasted until 1930s. Archaeologists discovered the ruins of Troy in nine periods from 3000 BC to 400 AD, and discovered the ruins of Athena Temple, parliament hall, market and theater in 400 AD during the Roman Empire. Although these buildings have collapsed, judging from the remaining walls and columns, the momentum is quite magnificent. There are castles from 2600 BC to 2300 BC, with a diameter exceeding 120 meters. There are palaces and other buildings in the city. Many gold, silver, jewels and bronzes were found in a library in Wang Jiabao. The pottery was mainly red and brown. In addition, stone tools, bone implements and pottery spinning wheels were unearthed. Troy is the ruins of a burnt-out city. Its stone flower garden is 5 meters long and contains a large number of painted pottery and other daily utensils with simple shapes and geometric figures.

The Trojan horse described in Homer's Iliad in the 9th century BC happened here. Paris, Prince of Troy, came to visit Menelaus Palace, King of Sparta, Greece, and was warmly received by Menelaus, but Paris abducted Menelaus' wife. Menelaus and his brothers decided to crusade against Troy. Because Troy was strong, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the attack in 10 failed. Finally, the hero Odyssey put forward a plan to let Mycenae soldiers burn down their camp and leave by warship, creating the illusion of retreating back to China and deliberately leaving a huge Trojan at the gate. The Trojans recorded Troy as a victory and dragged it into the city. That night, while the Trojans were drinking vinegar songs to celebrate their victory, Mycenae soldiers hiding in Troy slipped out quietly, opened the gate and put them in the Greek army that had already been lurking outside the city. As a result, Troy was in ruins overnight. The story described in Homer's epic has become a famous piece in western literature and art.
