Brief Description
"Troy, with its 4,000 years of history, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. The first excavations at the site were undertaken by the famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1870. In scientific terms, its extensive remains are the most significant demonstration of the first contact between the civilizations of Anatolia and the Mediterranean world. Moreover, the siege of Troy by Spartan and Achaean warriors from Greece in the 13th or 12th century B.C., immortalized by Homer in the Iliad, has inspired great creative artists throughout the world ever since."
特洛伊考古遗址
"特洛伊以其4000多年的历史成为世界上最著名的考古遗址之一。1870年，著名的考古学家海因里希·谢里曼 (Heinrich Schliemann) 对这个遗址进行了第一次挖掘。从科学的角度来说，它大量的遗存物是安纳托利亚和地中海文明之间联系的最重要最实质的证明。特洛伊于公元前13世纪或12世 纪遭到来自希腊的斯巴达人和亚加亚人的围攻，这一史实由荷马写进史诗而流传千古，而且从那时起它便启发了世界上众多艺术家的创作灵感。"
