Was Troy Real? The True Story of Homer and the Lost City | 3 Hour Sleep Story

Fall asleep inside the oldest question in literature. Tonight, told slowly and calmly for sleep, is the whole true story of Homer and Troy: the singers who carried the poem for centuries before writing existed, the seven cities that claimed Homer, the stubborn businessman who took the poem literally and dug a hole through three thousand years of history, the gold that turned out to be too old, the nine cities stacked inside one hill, the burned layer that might be the war itself, and the clay tablets of a forgotten empire that remember a city called Wilusa. The ending is given away from the start, so nothing keeps you tense. The narration ends softly around the 1 hour 53 minute mark, and then the night wind over the ancient mound carries on until morning. Loved this one?
