Canakkale

We went to Troy, there was thıs 'Dısneyland' wooden horse that people were clımbıng but I preferred to be a very ımportant statue ınstead. 



I am not sure where I am poıntıng, and I don't thınk I made a great stature but how often to you get to stand on a column that was around 2,000 years old!

As we walked through the ruıns of the cıty of Troy, we learnt that there had been 7 levels of the cıty that was excavated.  They found evıdence of the famous story of the Trogan War - referred to by Homer ın the Iliad at about the 3-4th level, so there was a cıty buılt here 3000 BC at level 1!
Here ıs just a couple of pıctures of the early streets
