We also cover the Mycenaean and Hittite civilizations. How did this story come to be? Is it just a myth or is there historical proof that it happened? What does archeology tell us about the conflict at the end of the Bronze age? Were Hector, Achilles, Helen and Paris even real? <\/p>\n<p>Support us on Patreon: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/KingsandGenerals\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/KingsandGenerals<\/a>\u200b or Paypal: <a href=\"http:\/\/paypal.me\/kingsandgenerals\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/paypal.me\/kingsandgenerals<\/a>\u200b\u200b We are grateful to our patrons and sponsors, who made this video possible: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmZWTDQ1NzB6LUVCWW51SXE5dklGQTFNZVVoUXxBQ3Jtc0tub0s3OTBpLXdYLVZJekxrWFJJNHNjUmthYzdWUHNtSU9tRE96YUxkRGlJYklGd1gtTDVyUld0UUJpZWJMXzUxeXNPNWJKeUI4dDFaMG1ZMnNNU2ZYSkw5NzNpSHJNYTQ0d19ydG9MZERtbWQycGNCcw&#038;q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1ooKPbpq0z8ciEjz5Zmrga4-gWRmripm0u4BHMkkXHVc%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1o&#8230;\u200b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Art and animation: O\u011fuz Tun\u00e7 <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2H6oRjw\u200b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2H6oRjw\u200b<\/a><br \/>\nScript: Leo Stone<br \/>\nNarration: Officially Devin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/OfficiallyDevin\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/OfficiallyDevin<\/a>\u200b)<\/p>\n<p>\u2714 Merch store \u25ba teespring.com\/stores\/kingsandgenerals\u200b<br \/>\n\u2714 Podcast \u25ba Google Play: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2QDF7y0\u200b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2QDF7y0\u200b<\/a> iTunes: <a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/2QTuMNG\u200b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apple.co\/2QTuMNG\u200b<\/a><br \/>\n\u2714 Twitter \u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KingsGenerals\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/KingsGenerals<\/a>\u200b<br \/>\n\u2714 Instagram \u25ba <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Kings_Generals\u200b\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Kings_Generals\u200b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epidemicsound.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.epidemicsound.com<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n<p>#Documentary\u200b #Troy\u200b #Greece<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen--480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen--480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen--150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen--768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_2021-04-05-Did-the-Trojan-War-Really-Happen-.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kings and Generals Published 13 Aug 2020 Kings and Generals&#8217; historical animated documentary series continues with a video on the Trojan War, as we talk about the historicity of the conflict between Trojans and the Greeks depicted in the immortal Iliad of Homer.
