The Trojan War

Someone once said that truth becomes history when it receives sunlight, and myth when it receives moonlight. The Trojan War is a prime example of this. It remained a myth for ages, possibly bathed in moonlight, until ruins were recently discovered, proving the war actually happened and turning it into history. However, there's no way to confirm if the Trojan Horse from the myth was real. It's said that the city walls crumbled due to a major earthquake, and the city suffered from looting for a long time before disappearing.
