TROY EXCAVATIONS

Homer was the one who wrote the story of the Trojan War.

Heinrich Schliemann was the one who found the city of Troy.

Manfred Korman, director of excavations at Troy and a professor of archaeology at the University of Tübingen comments:

As current director of the excavations, I am continually asked if Homer's Trojan War really happened. [...]  According to the archaeological and historical findings of the past decade especially, it is now more likely than not that there were several armed conflicts in and around Troy at the end of the Late Bronze Age. At present we do not know whether all or some of these conflicts were distilled in later memory into the "Trojan War" or whether among them there was an especially memorable, single "Trojan War." However, everything currently suggests that Homer should be taken seriously, that his story of a military conflict between Greeks and the inhabitants of Troy is based on a memory of historical events--whatever these may have been. If someone came up to me at the excavation one day and expressed his or her belief that the Trojan War did indeed happen here, my response as an archaeologist working at Troy would be: Why not?

And here is a map of ancient Troy:
