Troia VIII

Troia VIII refers to the eighth phase of archaeological layers at the site of ancient Troy, located in modern-day Turkey. This phase, dating from around the 12th to 11th centuries BCE, is particularly significant because it is believed to correspond with the historical context of the Trojan War, as described in Homer's "Iliad." The layer includes evidence of destruction, possibly linked to warfare, and features such as large stone walls. Archaeological findings from Troia VIII provide insights into the culture, economy, and social structure of this ancient city, which has fascinated historians and archaeologists for centuries.
