RE: Snippets from the Ancient World: Trojan Horse, Gates of Hell, and Angamuco

in #history7 years ago

It's interesting to find out that the Trojan horse might not be real. It's such a part of our culture! We're taught about it in schools and it's even used as a sort of cautionary tale to warn us... don't take candy from strangers! That sort of thing.

It's fascinating that something that has become to mean so much to us may just be a figment of the world's collective imagination. There's not a soul on the planet over 10 years old who doesn't know about that story and the lesson from it. Weird stuff.
