I so agree with you about the treasures staying in Troy in a museum. It’s the same in Pompeii. And about preserving the ruins by using the walkways being important. Franz & I carried our dogs in our arms around Herculaneum a couple of weeks ago, and the overseers loved us because we didn’t try to trick them, and put the dogs down when out of sight in the ancient villas. It’s all so precious. I loved seeing the ramp, and fyi, of course it’s the very one described in the legends! Seriously, thanks for showing me Troy. This was so cool! Now I’m going to see your favourite ruin in the whole world.

Nice video, looking forward for your next instalment

I love this series. Turkey is a dream destination for me and I’m a big geek for Roman/Greek/Turkish History. “here we are knocking on the trojan gates” lol. The Aegean Sea is surprisingly close to the ramp and from that vantage point I question how they didn’t see this ambush.

I'm loving this series, even though I've been watching them out of order. It was super interesting to hear your take on visiting Troy, and it seems like a place we'd visit if we're ever in the area.

very informative video

You guys, I'm getting a bit nervous about the museum card. It's already the second video and there's still like 300 left? I want to believe!

I always thought of Troy as an island. I guess because of the ships used to arrive. Weird. But that looked very cool. Much better than what I had heard of it; a lot more still exists than I imagined. Thanks for sharing!

A great video and I enjoy your outlook to historical sites. Who is to say this is not really Troy?

which app do you recommend for turkey ????

what month were you there? thanks!

What do you think about a cleanliness in turkish city, i mean not much litter...?

I m sorry that I have come across your video after 2 years

But are there not many layers of Troy? Newer Troy built on top of older Troy.

The Sea people ravaged Troy during the Bronze age.

I went to the comments to see if anyone had answered why Romans were better stonemasons than the Middle Ages builders but no one has answered yet???? 🤷‍♀

World first cultures Lepenski vir, Starcevo, Vinca culture today Serbia. World first industrial revolution ca. 6000 BC. Bronze metallurgy. (BBC History news March 2010) Gordon Childe-The Danube in Prehistory, Jacque Pirenne-Agriculture at Danube Farming start about 6000 BC. Vinca First Calendar start to count years at 5508 BC. (Now in 2024 we have year 7532) Farming wouldn’t be possible without knowledge of calendar. Both development started and developed together. Harald Harman about first cyrillic writings in Vinca culture in 5500 BC so 2000 years before any writings anywhere else on the world. Vinca Iron production 1400 BC. In today English language there is more than 2000 same or similar Serbian words. Names of the Balkan tribes: Pelasgians, Mycenaeans, Etruscan, Wendi, Illiyrians, Macedonians, Dardanians (Original Troy is here, not in Turkey Homer wrote sea is freezing in the winter-Panonian sea), Moesians, Dacians, Tracians, Rasci, Celts, Scythians, Sarmatians, Arians, Sea People, Peleset, Philistines, Hittites, Bhrygians. Tribes spread in all directions all over Europe and Asia ……. Wild Greeks arived ~ 1000 BC from Egipt, Hungarian from Asia and Bulgariens from Asia they found culture on the Balkans, writings and language and they mixed with domestic people. 18 Roman emperors were born in Serbia because of Etruscan connection. After Trojan war many groups of people left Troy in all directions to middle Europe, northern Europe to Britain and Scandinavia, south to Anatolia.One group under Aeneas sat sail with 22 ships and about 3400 followers and reach Italy-Etruscans.

Y no bring home bby 😺?

Troy place of Trojans the dardanians deriving by the dodanim of the Bible. Had a mountain of worship it’s where it began worship of Greek gods. Take with a grain of salt that Dardanelles came from dodanim and their heirs are possibly the people of Kosova. Peace and love

Your coverage of out the way sites is interesting, although it would be more enticing if you actually offered more historical girth to what you’re filming, beyond "Big Rocks." The visuals on Troy were better than most, although again shallow regarding the history. Last point, your "looting" homily is unwittingly scurrilous. In the case of Troy, and many other sites around the world, if it were not for the "Big Powers" you chastised, Troy would still be under 3,000+ years of dirt. Western adventurers and scholars invented archaeology and the sciences that have uncovered and preserved the past as well as financed the expeditions. Many of the sites you visited are strewn with fields of artifacts that belong in museums or sheltered, but Turkey is too poor to accomplish the task. Moreover, what non-Western scholars have learned regarding preservation came originally from the West. These facts may be uncomfortable for some Western travelers weaned on "Big Power" guilt, as well as embarrassing for countries dependent on the West's largesse, but that's the history. You should recognize the cooperative efforts that have evolved between Western and non-Western countries to preserve the past. Indeed, most looters of artifacts around the world are locals. So, enjoy your trek of discovery, but spare the viewer your misplaced finger pointing at the "Big Powers" and the past.

Troy is not greek, Turkos from Troy are the ancestors of the Turks
