Was the Trojan Horse actually a wooden animal?

The legend of a massive wooden horse concealing Greek soldiers is one of history's most enduring tales. This video investigates whether this famous deception was a myth and explores what new, groundbreaking findings suggest about how the Greeks truly outwitted the Trojans.

The traditional narrative describes a gigantic wooden horse presented as a gift to the Trojans. After the Trojans pulled the structure into their city, Greek soldiers emerged under the cover of darkness to open the gates, leading to the destruction of Troy just hours later. However, recent findings suggest this iconic image may be inaccurate, proposing that the Trojan horse was likely not a horse at all. The documentary examines these new perspectives to understand how the Greeks actually achieved their victory and how our understanding of this historical event is being rewritten.
