When was Trojan war fought?

Answer 1

"Ancient Greeks believed that the Trojan War was a historical event. They believed that this war took place in the 13th or 12th century BC, and that Troy was located in the vicinity of the Dardanelles in what is now north-western Turkey. By modern times both the war and the city were widely believed to be non-historical. In 1870, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated a site in this area which he believed to be the site of Troy, and at least some archaeologists agree. There remains no certain evidence that Homer's Troy ever existed, still less that any of the events of the Trojan War cycle ever took place. Many scholars would agree that there is a historical core to the tale, though this may simply mean that the Homeric stories are a fusion of various stories of sieges and expeditions by the Greeks of the Bronze Age or Mycenean period. Those who think that the stories of the Trojan War derive from a specific historical conflict usually date it to between 1300 BC and 1200 BC, usually preferring the dates given by Eratosthenes (1194 BC - 1184 BC) which roughly corresponds with the burning of Troy VIIa."

Okay, just like most things in literature, there is a huge debate, considering the excessive mentioning of gods and goddesses. But, there is speculation that they were not actually depicted as we would today, but representative of important and influential people.

Anyway, it does not really matter though, as long as we know that Jesus walked the earth, and follow Him, we dont need anything else.

God bless

Amen.
