I checked the index printed right on the poster and sure enough, there was Troy – between 1200 and 1100 BC in the Greek line. I went to that section and found “Trojan Wars 1184 BC” It was an easy to check the Biblical events for those same years to find Samuel was the prophet during the time of the Judges. For the following I also used the index to find Homer, Alexander the Great and more.

Acts 16. Paul goes to Troy. Have a nice day.
AT the start of all the Troy movies it says Troy was in the years 3200 b.c.
The real Troy was described to have been located at the place where there were to 5 rivers and certain mountain picks…. but in the today’s find that was taught to be a location of Troy somewhere in modern Turkey there’s no 5 river anywhere around it or mountain picks described by Homer!
Homer knew this better then sone German archaeologist who supposedly located ancient Troy…. even the book Iliad most probably has a lot to do with ancient Serbian people Illyrians where there are 5 rivers and mountain picks exactly as the location of Troy was located and even ruins of the ancient city that used to be ancient Serbian capital SKADAR but now occupied by Shqiptari. Alexandar of Macedonia did rule over Illyria and Troy and it’s another reason why Troy was most probably located near modern day Macedonia and Serbia just like Homer described the geographical rivers, valleys snd mountainous regions as they are the same even today…. Turkey is nothing like ehat was described in Iliad by Homer.
The location of Troy in Turkey is nothing like what was described in Iliad by Homer.
Slavica, check Hittites texts. Hittites called the city Wilusa while Greeks called Ilios and Ilion in their ancient language. The location of Troy is ACTUALLY in Turkey.
