Credit for the discovery of Troy went to German entrepreneur and
novice archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Largely uncredited was
British archaeologist Frank Calvert, who suggested that Schliemann
should dig at a place called Hisarlik - the site now recognized as
ancient Troy.
The remains of seven cities were found on the site, each on top of
the other, showing that Troy had been rebuilt many times. The city
that Schliemann initially proclaimed to be Homer's Troy was on the
second level. Later research proved this could not be the case, and
now most scholars believe that the sixth city provides the most
likely background for the story of the Trojan War. Traditional
dates for the fall of Troy range from about 1250 to 1183 BC,
fitting well with the dates of destructions of these cities.
Excavations were resumed as recently as 1988, with the belief there
was much yet to be discovered.
