Excavations at the Maydos Kilisetepe Mound in the Eceabat district of Canakkale have revealed that the Trojan War was not actually fought between the Trojans and Thracians, but rather between coalitions in the Anatolian and Aegean regions. Associate Professor Dr. Goksel Sazci, head of the excavations, emphasized that the data obtained provides a more realistic basis for war narratives in mythology.
