The ancient city of Troy is believed to be on the site of Hissarlik, in present day Turkey. Although excavated for over 20 years by British archaeologist Frank Calvert, it was German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann who argued that Hissarlik was in fact the site of Troy, based on descriptions of the site in ancient texts and evidence of violent destruction at the site. His theory is widely held to be true by most archaeologists today.
