Troia. Piat' tysiach let real'nosti i mifa - Ivik Oleg

Powerful walls of the "high-solid" Troy rose above the shores of Gellespont, when the foundation of Rome was still more than two thousand years. Everything in this city was the most-most. The Trojan War broke out here because of the most beautiful woman Oikumena, and the greatest poet of mankind Homer sang the bravest warriors in her. The Trojans were defeated, but life in the city did not stop. Here the Greeks founded one of their many colonies. Xerxes and Alexander the Great came here, there were Roman emperors. Troy discovered the most romantic, most controversial, most infamous archaeologist in the world. And today here are the most, probably, popular in the world excavations. Without the Trojan War, this amazing city would still attract the attention of archaeologists, historians and tourists. To tell the story of Troy from the day of its founding to the present - such a task set for themselves the authors of this book - writers, historians and archaeologists working under the pseudonym Oleg Ivik.
