An illustration shows Troy more than 3,000 years ago, corresponding with the era described by Homer. The inner city housed the ruling elite. The lower city was discovered only in the 1990s, and it expanded the settlement’s overall footprint tenfold. Findings suggest that Homeric Troy was home to as many as 10,000 people, and there is evidence that Anatolians from elsewhere sought refuge there during attacks by invading Greeks.
