Each phase reflects significant architectural and cultural changes, illustrating the city's long and complex history. The exact number of reconstructions can vary depending on interpretations of the archaeological record.

What was the ancient city of Troy?
Troy, called Ilion by the Greeks ( whence The Iliad) was a city which was thought to be mythical until the discovery of its ruins by the German amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 1800's. All of The Iliad's events are fictional, its characters are at best only semi-historical, and indeed there are several versions of the story that contradict each other in almost every detail. It is likely that a Bronze Age Trojan War was actually fought, though it would have been for economic reasons. Troy controlled the trade through the Bosphorus between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The ruins of Troy show that the city was destroyed and rebuilt perhaps as many as ten times over many centuries. The layer called Troy VIIa is believed to be the actual city of The Iliad.
How many years did it take to build the city of troy?
The construction of the city of Troy, particularly the well-known Troy VI and Troy VII layers, spanned several centuries rather than a specific number of years. Archaeological evidence suggests that the city was continuously inhabited and rebuilt over time, with significant construction phases occurring from around 3000 BCE to 1000 BCE. The legendary Trojan War, as depicted in Homer's epics, is believed to have taken place around the 12th century BCE, but the actual timeline of its construction is more complex and gradual.
