Archaeologists excavating the site of ancient Troy at Hisarlik in Turkey have found pieces of wood in strange form that they suspect might be the remains of the legendary Trojan Horse. The wooden pieces fit the descriptions of the Trojan
Horse in Virgil's Aeneid (the most detailed description; it actually isn't mentioned at all in Homer's Illiad which cuts out before the Trojan War ends, and is only briefly alluded to in the Odyssey) and other classical writers. The pieces date from the 12th to 11th centuries BCE, the approximate date of the Trojan War. From the Greek Reporter[2]:
Turkish archaeologists claim they have found what they believe are pieces of the Trojan Horse. According to a report by newsit.gr, Turkish archaeologists excavating the site of the historical city of Troy on the hills of Hisarlik have unearthed a large wooden structure. Historians and archaeologists think what they have discovered are remains of the legendary Trojan Horse.
The excavations brought to light dozens of fir planks and beams up to 15
meters (49 feet) long. The remnants were assembled in a strange form, that led the experts to suspect they belong to the Trojan Horse. The wooden structure was inside the walls of the ancient city of Troy.
