I love how you try to save the good people money.

Anyway, appreciate y'all so much, and I will see you in the future.

God bless.

Stay weird.

Peace out.

No son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.

For 2,000 years, readers treated it as just a legend, a literary landscape, but not a real place.

This was a war so famous that it shaped literature, philosophy, and military strategy of every civilization that came after it.

A story where gods walked amongst men and the greatest warrior in history wept on the battlefield.

This is Troy, where for a millennia, the line between fiction and history was blurred.

But then, modern archaeologists dug beneath a hill in Turkey and found something that changed everything.

Real evidence of destruction, roughly aligning with later Greek chronology.

So, what actually happened?

Was there a real Trojan War?

Did Achilles and Hector truly fight outside of those very walls?

Well,

Today, we're diving into the story of Troy, where myth and reality collide, and we will try to separate what we know from what we can only pass as a hypothesis.

So sit back, relax, and welcome to History Camp.

What's up, people, and welcome back to History Camp.

My name is Mark Agnon, and thank you for joining me in my tent, where every single week we explore the most interesting, fascinating, and controversial stories from all time, from all history, forever.
