Chapter 481: Pursuit of the Ancient City

"Master, what are you talking to yourself?" Sha held a piece of oily roast lamb and nibbled on it, while Su Man looked down strangely and muttered something. 【Leaf*】【*】

Sha ate this is just a little bit of meat leftover, cooking is not tasteful, Su Man simply skewered it on the fire and put some salt and cumin on the roast, although there is not much, but this barbecue is Sha, Mo and Chubby's favorite. And in addition to being fat, Sha and Mo can't eat much at all.

"It's nothing, I was dazzled just now, maybe I should go to bed too." Su Man smiled and replied to Sha.

"Master, go and rest, we're going outside." Sha said to Su Man empathetically.

Su Man nodded, and put the last few bones with meat in the basin for Baibai and Hurricane and Baiyue to eat. Then he stood up: "After you eat and rest, be a little vigilant at night, yes, I will also call the mirror out." ”

"Don't worry, master." Sha waved at Su Man, and Su Man turned around and went upstairs.

Closing the door, Su Man practiced qi a little, this has become a habit, compulsory every day, after practicing qi, Su Man went to the hot spring in the space to soak for a while before resting.

The night was peaceful, and everyone seemed to be sleeping more peacefully than they had been yesterday.

Early the next morning, everyone got up and moved their bodies and went downstairs to have breakfast, because the place they were going to today was seen yesterday, and there were not a few zombies on the road.

After breakfast and packing up, the team set off for the ancient city of Troy.

Drive along the verdant Marmara coastline, dotted with holiday villas. It was supposed to be a very relaxing thing, but it wasn't peaceful along the way.

There are a lot of zombies along the way, and this place turned out to be a very famous tourist attraction, so there are naturally not a few tourists, and they probably know this, so it seems that almost no one has cleaned up this place after the end of the world. 【Leaf*】【*】

Perhaps everyone should also be glad that the last days are winter, and the number of tourists is relatively low because of the weather.

Since I had to move forward while cleaning up the zombies, I drove for about an hour. That's when they came to this national park, located in the mountains south of Canakkale. It is also in front of the world-famous historical story "Trojan Horse Massacre" in front of the Great Trojan Horse and the ruins of the ancient city of Troy.

However, to reach the "Trojan Horse", you must first pass through another iconic part of the city, which is the "Independence Monument".

These are two of the city's most iconic things. It can be seen from the murals, stone carvings and so on on the periphery. According to the local saying: you may not know the city of Canakkale, but you must not know the "Trojan Horse" and the "Independence Monument".

The "Independence Monument" is derived from a war in recent times. It was the First World War, the famous "Battle of Canakkale", which lasted for 9 months, killed and wounded 500,000 people, and finally Turkey became independent and the area was also turned into a national park. This is to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

There are lush green hills, sun-drenched beaches, and crystal clear waters. It provides a quiet and peaceful place for the heroes who are buried here.

Unlike other martyrs' cemeteries or monuments, there are also tombstones for those who died in battle. Therefore, the first thing that catches your eye when you come to this park is the rows of white neat stone carved tombstones, each tombstone is perpendicular to a piece of grass, and the color and white form a magnificent but very beautiful picture.

Then everyone walked through the tombstone group in front of the "Independence Monument", which is magnificent, at least as high as 50 meters, and about 25 meters wide. The four sides are carved in marble with a relief picture of that tragic battle. Standing below, you need to look up to see the top, and the Turkish flag pattern painted on the top is very eye-catching. []

There are also many statues and forts around the Independence Monument. Standing there. The crowd didn't look closely, and after bypassing the Independence Monument, they got on the bus again and drove towards the back of the national park.

Finally here are the ruins of the ancient city of Troy in Turkey. See this historic world monument with your own eyes. The tall Trojan horses in the park stood with their heads held high, as if to greet the crowd. However, this Trojan Horse is not the one used in the battle, this is just a model of a huge Trojan horse built in the past.

The whole wooden horse is made of pine trees from Mount Ida in Greek mythology, and is about 3-4 stories high, about 12 meters high. There is a ladder next to it that allows you to enter the inside.

The Trojan horse in the cross was in front of everyone's eyes, and it wouldn't take long to delay, so everyone in the team got out of the car and cleaned up some of the swaying zombies around.

Since the end of the world is still relatively early, most of the tourists are still on the periphery. So there aren't many people here, not to mention that after the zombies appeared, the people who ran out took away some of the chasing zombies, so there were a lot fewer zombies inside.

Standing next to the giant wooden horse, you will feel very good, and the beauty of the carving makes you can't help but reach out and touch this huge wooden horse. There is a staircase at the bottom of the Trojan horse, so I can't suppress my curiosity. The crowd entered the interior of the Trojan Horse.

The interior of the Trojan horse is very large, and can accommodate about thirty or forty people. Slowly climb the stairs to the second and third floors. There is a very large window inside, and on the platform of the Trojan horse, you can also look out over the entire Trojan Plain, which is reminiscent of the legendary battle that has been passed down to this day.

According to legend, 800 years before the park, Homer the Blind recorded the story of the war that originated from love in the epic poem "The Iliad":

Around the 13th century B.C., a Spartan family gave birth to a daughter named Helen. This girl is extremely pretty, and gradually grows into a rare beauty in the world. She is considered to be the most beautiful woman in all of Greece. The princes and grandchildren of various Greek countries have pursued her, and those who fail to pursue her have taken her beauty as their greatest wish in life.

Later, Helen's suitors came to an agreement: let Helen choose her own husband, and they promised to respect her choice and protect her husband's rights together. Eventually, Helen married Meneis, the son of King Atreus of Sparta. Soon Meneis became king, and they were originally a happy couple. One day, a distinguished guest came to Meneis's royal palace. He was Paris, the son of the King of Troy.

Troy was a kingdom on the peninsula of Asia and present-day Turkey, across the sea from Greece. Meneis was so hospitable to Paris that even the young queen Helen came out to receive him. Paris is personable and likable. Helen fell in love with him at first sight, and fled back to Troy with Paris.

The king of Sparta, Meneis, felt that this was a great insult, and he rushed to the city of Myss overnight to ask King Agamemnon, who was also his brother, to help him avenge his revenge. Agamemnon was the overlord of the Greek kingdoms at the time, so he invited the kings of many Greek countries to unite and destroy the city of Troy by force. Soon, an army of 100,000 horses and more than 1,000 warships came to attack the city of Troy. The war between the Greeks and the Trojans broke out.

The Greeks united to attack the city of Troy, but Troy was a very strong city, and with the help of the brave Thracians, the Greeks fought for nine years without defeat.

In the tenth year, a scheming Greek general came up with a clever plan. The Greeks dismantled many huge warships and made a huge wooden horse out of them. They hid some of their brave soldiers inside the Trojan Horse.

The Greeks then began a fierce siege of the city, and then retreated under the pretense of defeat. But the Trojan was left outside the city. The Trojans happily dragged the Trojan horse back to the city as a trophy.

That night, however, the Trojans, who were celebrating their victory, fell asleep drunk. At ten o'clock in the evening, heavily armed Greek soldiers hiding in the Trojan Horse jumped out of the Trojan Horse. They crept their way to the city gates, killed the sleeping defenders, opened the gates, and then lit fires in the city. A large number of Greek troops who were hiding nearby in the vicinity poured into the city of Troy like a tide, and the inside and outside took the city in one fell swoop, and burned the prosperous city of Troy to ashes.

In fact, there is nothing particularly worthy of the Trojan horse, but because of that story, it seems extraordinary, and soon everyone came out of the huge wooden horse with this commemorative sign and entered the ruins of the ancient city of Troy.

The city of Troy from different eras has been preserved here, and according to the relics excavated from 9 eras here, the ancient city has been rebuilt many times. Because the city has been destroyed and rebuilt many times in history, each time it was built on the foundation of the previous time, so it formed a layer of more than ten meters deep, and there were several layers of wall foundations.

However, when they really came to this legendary ancient city, everyone was somewhat disappointed, and as far as the eye could see, it was all tattered rubble. Now all that remains are the city walls, a temple and a theater that can be vaguely recognizable in their shape.

Su Man had already released Bai Bai and Sha Hemo from the time he bypassed the huge wooden horse, and he was constantly checking back and forth around the ruined walls.

"I'm so disappointed, it's really better than that Trojan horse, it's too broken here, it's really nothing good." Xuan Yu'er looked around for a moment, and then said.

"We're not here to travel, let's spread out and look for what is worth studying." Su Man smiled at Xuan Yu'er.

The crowd rummaged through the ruined rubble, hoping to find something like an underground entrance.
