3. Many Trojan cities have existed over time. Archaeological discoveries have revealed at least nine layers of cities at the site believed to be Troy, from the Bronze Age to the Roman period. Photo: Pinterest.

4. The war may have been related to trade conflicts. Researchers believe that the war was not about Helen as in the legend, but because Troy controlled the strategic trade route connecting Europe and Asia. Photo: Pinterest.

5. The Mycenaeans may have been the main attacking force. The Mycenaean culture – a Bronze Age Greek civilization – is considered to have started the war, not the later Greek city-states. Photo: Pinterest.

6. Troy may not have been completely destroyed. Evidence shows that some layers of the city suffered only localized damage, which raises questions about the true extent of the destruction. Photo: Pinterest.

7. There is no evidence of the Trojan horse. The famous details of the wooden horse are the product of legend, never verified by archaeology or historical texts. Photo: Pinterest.
