I haven't read the book but it doesn't make much sense to me. The ancients knew where Troy was and still knew even at the time of Alexander.

It is no coincidence that Scliemann found Troy very near where it was said to be.

He also located Troy (Hissarlik) by using a description in the Iliad.

OK, but counter-factual history is still fun. I haven't read the book.
