-------/////////Historians and archaeologists generally agree that the Trojan War was a real historical event that occurred around 1200 BCE, though the fantastical elements described in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are heavily mythologized./////////-----

/////--- the ancient city of Troy was a real place, and the real-world site is built on a prominent, hilly mound. Located in northwestern Turkey at a site called Hisarlik, Troy sat on a strategic, 50-foot-high artificial hill overlooking a coastal plain that connected the Aegean Sea to the Dardanelles strait---///

https://liberalforum.net////////Historically and mythologically, the citadel of Troy was built with defenses specifically designed to repel invaders, featuring sheer, inward-sloping walls that made it nearly impossible to scale//////////

//////////The association between Troy and horses is deeply woven into both history and mythology. Historically, the ancient Trojans were celebrated horse breeders and traders. The horse was also a symbol of their power./////---xxxxx

///////The Walls of Troy are both a legendary Greek myth and a formidable archaeological reality in Hisarlik, Turkey. Known historically as the massive fortifications of the Bronze Age city (specifically Troy VI and VIIa), they stood up to 30 feet high and 16 feet thick, featuring inward-sloping stone bases and high mud-brick superstructures/////////

Dragging a huge wooden horse up a rocky steep incline would be impossible, especially when there was an easier way to get them to open the gates

perhaps The trojan horse was a real horse, a beautiful horse left outside the gate and when they opened the heavy gates to get the horse, they were attacked. It makes more sense than pulling a huge wooden horse up steep hills.
