   "Troy" the label applied to a bunch of rocks someone dug up?   
      
   It's like pretending that "The Headless Horseman" is real   
   because you can find Sleepy Hallow in Google Maps!   
      
   There is NOTHING that applies the name "Troy" to the pile   
   of rocks until a known fraud started digging there.

   To prove... what?  There's some rocks there?  It was a tel.   
   It was a tel a thousand years ago. You want to find an   
   ancient city, look for a tel!   
      
   There' no "Welcome" to Troy but there's other places identified   
   as "Troy" before the one you're attributing to a story that is   
   pure mythology.   
      
   Calling Troy "Real" is saying that the bible is real, because   
   you can find places with the same names...
