TROY
Greek Legend: the ILLIAD
Background: The Historical Basis of the Trojan War:
The blind poet Homer is thought to be the author of the Iliad. For centuries many scholars believed that the Trojan War and its participants were entirely the creation of his imagination;but in the late 19th century, an archaeologist declared that he had discovered the remnants of Troy. The ruins that he uncovered sit a few dozen miles off of the Aegean coast in northwestern Turkey, a site that fits the geographical descriptions of Homer’s Troy. One layer of the site, roughly matching the point in history when the fall of Troy would have taken place, shows evidence of fire and destruction consistent with a sack. Many scholars now believe that there was a Trojan War, although there is no way to determine just how much of the Iliad is factual and how much Homer added to create a great story.

Foreword
Hello All,
History is a fascinating stuff. It can give us the way to understand things in the past, learn from them. It can make ourselves immerse in a world which we might never have experienced or can get such experience. History can be our guideline as to how we should see the future and how do we prepare from the present.
There have been marvelous things happened in the past, many exiting stuff which can really wonder us all. I have been through many such stories. But had not got a clear view of them, most of them were not very accurate. My idea is now to put such exiting historical facts/figures/stories in one place which can also act as a guide to me over a period of time to improve my understandings and also try to make things easy for others.
My series starts from tomorrow!
yours, Nasa
