    Didn’t someone actually discover the ruins of the city of Troy?

      Yes, and it has a couple layers showing destruction in the right periods, plus we also have texts from the Hittites that are very clear about conflicts stretching over a few centuries between the Hittites (big empire in Anatolia / modern Turkiye) and the Achaeans (Greeks) trying to fund uprisings all over western Anatolia, and Wilusa (Troy) being a particular target of interest for both the Hittites and the Achaeans.
