History

The golden era of Axum falls between the 2nd and 6th centuries AD.

Troy, described by Homer in the Iliad, was probably the seventh city built on the Hisarlik Hill. 

Today, in the Thermopylae ravine, the barrow where the Spartans were buried has a stone tablet engraved with an inscription by the Greek poet Symonides: “Go tell the Spartans, thou who passest by, That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.”

Eyewitnesses of the time describe the scourge of the Black Death in three possible variations.

As the main sources for the course of the Trojan War are only the works of Homer, it is impossible to determine the actual events of the Trojan conflict. 

Homer's poem does not describe the entire war, but only 50 days in its final year, when a breakthrough happened.

Construction work proceeded under dramatic conditions.

Unfortunately, at least at this stage of archaeological research, the actual cause of the fall of the Mohenjo-daro civilization has not been established.

By 1350, the empire covered about 1,240,140 square kilometers. It ruled over 400 cities, towns, and villages. At the time, only the Mongol Empire was larger.

The Sumerian language is an isolated language.
