Very interesting. How does this date compare to those usually posited for Homer?
Homer himself wrote 400 or so years later after the events of the Trojan War. 800-750 or so BC.
The Trojan War as laid out in “The Iliad” either is a conflation of a large number of older stories, referring to a number of different eras, and doesn’t have a single author, orrrrrr, it is in sync with the 25th Dynasty of Egypt (there’s a clear reference, more than one, in “The Iliad” to one of the Ethiopian pharaohs), or 8th century BC through mid-7th c, and a similar range is usually given for Homer. :’)
