Visiting the excavation of Troia made a big impression on me (the official spelling is now Troia instead of engl. Troy or germ. Troja). You can read everything about the nine layers of Troia I-IX here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy. But I was very pleased to find so many references to my old university and especially the modern main excavator of Troia Manfred Korfmann, whose lectures on the issue in Tübingen back in 1988 I remember well. In Çannakkale, where we crossed over to the European side of the Dardanelles, I accidentally saw even a Korfmann library.
