In fact what?

Greek culture was and still is an Eastern Mediterranean civilization that has deep roots in Anatolia and that had and still has way more in common with other Eastern Mediterranean cultures than Western European cultures. There is no hard European/Asian line, only a smooth Eurasian continuum.

That Westerners and Hollywood try to pitch Greekness as some kind of Western outpost in the East says way more about their own Orientalism and, frankly, racism, than it does about Greek culture which, you know, just exists, regardless of what Hollywood has to say.

Today I learned that the Enigma machine was not in fact captured by Jon Bon Jovi and his all-American crew and then cracked by 100% heterosexual Benedict Cumberbatch.

This is possibly the only thing that Troy (2004) did kind of correctly. The architecture is full of nods to Hittite and New Kingdom Egyptian culture (look at the design of the temple of Apollo!), and the costuming also points to Hittite and Assyrian designs.

There's a ton of mystery surrounding the fall of Mycenaean civilization, but there's at least some general agreement that Troy was at least partially based on a real city (with a different name), and that they not only shared some gods/cults with Mycenae, but also might have been directly allied with Mycenaean kingdoms.

I don't think there's any reason to believe that there was no mixing of cultures between the Anatolian sphere and the Mycenaean sphere, considering that the entire Eastern Mediterranean was known to trade heavily (ESPECIALLY the sea focused Mycenaean's).

Can you restate the issue in a way that non-history nerds can understand?

So... You think Hollywood produces documentaries?

TIL people still believe ancient Troy existed.
