Postcard from Turkey!

Today I got a nice postcard from Turkey! The card features an aerial view of Troy, the historic and legendary city in Turkey. With 4,000 years of history, it is arguably one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. It was first excavated in 1870 by Heinrich Schliemann. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is most known for the Siege of Troy by the Spartans and Achaeans, which was immortalized in Homer's Iliad. Thanks Onder!
