Was Ancient Troy the World's First Fortified City? | Türkiye 🇹🇷 Turkey

Описание: This is a clip from my episode at the Ancient City of Troy. It was so impressive to see the construction of this nearly 5,000 year old ancient city. Though the super thick fortified walls weren't part of the original city and built up thousands of years later. It is still extremely impressive. Watch the full video on my channel.

Our final ancient city of the trip is the famous Troy (aka Ilion). Made famous for the story of the large (likely completely fake) battle that happened here. Though there was likely battles/wars fought here considering that it is a fortified city. The famous "Trojan Horse" is likely a complete myth. Leading up to our stop here I really wasn't expecting there to be much left of this city. Though it honestly is one of the least impressive ancient cities we saw on this trip. It is still very much worth the stop. The Troy Museum also was not one of my favorites we saw, and was definitely more of a "class trip" museum. But worth stopping by for an hour or so if going to Troy. After that we continued north to Istanbul where we would be spending the next 4 nights.

This trip was a few months before the horrible earthquake that just hit Turkey. My heart breaks for all the people there as we stayed in several of the worst hit cities and it is so upsetting to see the destruction.
