Turkish archaeologists found confirmation of events from Homer's "Iliad"

Archaeologists from Turkey have made an amazing discovery, providing substantial evidence of events described in Homer's legendary "Iliad." This was reported by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, July 15.

During excavations in the territory of ancient Troy, researchers discovered several dozen clay, carefully polished stones outside the palace walls. In addition, the archaeological expedition revealed arrowheads and human remains.

Specialists note that the found stones were considered one of the most deadly weapons of the Bronze Age. The age of the artifacts is estimated at 3.2-3.6 thousand years, which coincides with the presumed period of the Trojan War, celebrated in the famous ancient Greek poem.

Scientists have also established that people who died during the battles were buried hastily. The discovered findings, combined with arrowheads from previous expeditions, convincingly prove that fierce close combat took place in this part of the city. These facts fully correspond to the descriptions in ancient texts, the publication emphasized.
