Synopsis

The Burning of Troy reconstructs the Late Bronze Age collapse and the destruction of Troy as catastrophic events triggered by planetary encounters during the 13th–12th centuries BCE. De Grazia argues that the Trojan War narrative in Homer is not pure fiction but encodes genuine historical and astronomical memory of the catastrophic skies of that era.

The “burning” is both literal (cities destroyed by cosmic fire — electromagnetic storms, bolides, plasma discharge) and metaphorical (the collapse of an entire Bronze Age civilization across the Eastern Mediterranean). De Grazia integrates the Sea Peoples invasions, the Exodus chronology, and the fall of Mycenae into a single catastrophist timeline.

This volume is one of the most historically specific in the series, engaging directly with Bronze Age chronology, Schliemann’s excavations, and the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean.
