Was Troy in fact Wilusa?
[edit]It seems strange that Troy is located to Hissarlik when Wilusa is the more likely candidate. (Modern Eleusis in Turkey). It is much larger than Hissarlik, and fits better with ancient accounts. The 'Iliad' probably refers to Wilusians/Luwians.
Article needs critical updates
[edit]This article needs serious updating. It cites as sources an article from New Scientist regarding translated Luwian inscriptions in 2017. In March 2018, this was exposed as a hoax perpetuated by the late James Mellaart. [1]--Countakeshi (talk) 08:06, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
