       My research question is whether the ancient city of Troy ever existed or was a myth? Depending on the outcome of that it could also prove if the Trojan War ever happened. Currently many archeologists are at what would be the correct location of Troy in Hissarlik, Turkey. They are working to find ruins that one hundred percent show that Troy was clearly real.

       Over a hundred years ago a German Archeologist named Heinrich Schliemann claimed to have found many Trojan artifacts at Hissarlik. Overall scientists have confirmed that the site is correct although opinions vary on whether the artifacts are part of a fraud. My opinion is that the city of Troy did exist although the Trojan War is still a mystery. The transportation and causes of the war are questionable. Yes, sadly the Greeks most likely did not win the war by sneaking in a giant horse.
