出土的同時代赫梯的記錄，出土的同時代埃及的記錄，一個96年在遺址的考古發現。

考古發現遺址中的水道，與同時代赫梯文件記錄的wilussa挖掘的水道一致，故而確認遺址即是同時代赫梯文件記錄的wilussa。也就是說，開始是施裏曼根據荷馬史詩確定地點，挖出地理上符合傳說中特洛伊的一個遺址，最終被證明，是被與傳說中特洛伊同時期的鄰國赫梯，所記載的一個國家——該國的名字類似特洛伊，有一些類似特洛伊在史詩中的情況。

因此，該遺址的地理符合特洛伊，名字類似特洛伊，有一些類似特洛伊在史詩中的情況。這三點集於一城，都得到了，與傳說中特洛伊同時代的資料證明。三點都是巧合或錯誤的可能性依然存在，但比較小。

英語維基（Troy - Wikipedia）：

Inscriptions of the New Kingdom of Egypt also record a nation T-R-S as one of the Sea Peoples who attacked Egypt during the XIX and XX Dynasties. An inscription at Deir el-Medina records a victory of Ramesses III over the Sea Peoples, including one named "Tursha" (Egyptian: [twr?3]). It is probably the same as the earlier "Teresh" (Egyptian: [tr?.w]) on the stele commemoratingMerneptahs victory in a Libyan campaign around 1220 BC.

These identifications were rejected by many scholars as being improbable or at least unprovable. However, Trevor Bryce championed them in his 1998 book The Kingdom of the Hittites, citing a piece of the Manapa-Tarhunda letter referring to the kingdom of Wilusa as beyond the land of the Seha River (the classical Caicus and modern Bak?r?ay) and near the land of "Lazpa" (Lesbos). Recent evidence also adds weight to the theory that Wilusa is identical to archaeological Troy. Hittite texts mention a water tunnel at Wilusa, and a water tunnel excavated by Korfmann, previously thought to be Roman, has been dated to around 2600 BC. The identifications of Wilusa with Troy and of the Ahhiyawa with Homers Achaeans remain somewhat controversial but gained enough popularity during the 1990s to be considered majority opinion. That agrees with metrical evidence in the Iliad that the name ?Ιλιον (Ilion) for Troy was formerly ?ιλιον (Wilion) with a digamma.
