Aegean: The Lengend Of Atlantis

First I would like to begin with discussing the ancient city of Troy. Some facts that I believed to be interesting and percussive are summarized here: Troy the ancient city was the scene of the fabled battle of the Trojan war were the Greeks battled the city of Troy, only to win by a matter of brain not braun. As fabled in the epic by Homer, Greek soldiers tricked the Trojans to let them in their gates by hiding in a wooden horse and waiting until the town was asleep to attack. All though no evidence as been found of the large wooden horse a lot of the objects described by Homer were uncovered. Some artifacts were uncovered by a man named Heinrich

The fourth city I would like to discuss would be Thera. Some facts that I believed to be interesting and percussive are summarized here: 3000 years ago this city was destroyed by a volcano which caused a 800 foot tidal wave. In about 1628 b.c. Egypt, China and North America have record of a great ash covering the earth, the ash covered the land from sunlight and killed crops, the Egyptians wrote of that was past on to Plato. Evidence was found that these people were very advanced and had running water, pluming, hot water, flushing toilets and showers in side their houses. A violent earthquake destroyed the gates of Thera and a young man was sacrificed to the gods but the earthquakes did not quit and Thera was destroyed over night.

After reading and considering this evidence I came to the conclusion that the city of Troy did in fact exist, even though the poet Homer who was credited for the story was blind and there in fact could not see the walls of Troy, I still hold my ground in believing this city was not a myth but an empire or great historical meaning. The fact that really persuaded me was that the huge walls, that I believe to be the great walls of Troy, were found.

Schliemann and his wife in the 1870s. Such as the large city walls of Troy, that were beautifully described by Homer in detail, a Greek coin reading the word "Troy" when translated and what was believed to be the priceless treasure of Primus, believed to be the jewels of the legendary Hel
