“Unveiling the Secrets of the Past: Archaeologists Unearth an Ancient Trojan City in Greece, Revealing Mysteries That Could Rewrite History!”
Korka and her team have been on the hunt for the fabled city for over 30 years now. There are mentions of the city in ancient Greek texts which indicate that a group of prisoners founded the city of Tenea after suffering a defeat in the Trojan War by the Greek hero Odysseus.
Now more than 3,000 years later, the first evidence that the city did in fact exist has been revealed.
The remnants of Tenea were found near a small village in southern Greece called Chiliomodi. The area yielded an organized residential space that stretches more than 670 meters, or 733 yards. The space included marble, stone, and clay floors that were found in good condition. Beams, small columns, storage spaces with jugs, and the tombs of two babies were also discovered at the site.
All of this evidence, along with other earlier discoveries made near Chiliomodi, indicate to Korka that the ancient city of Tenea was a reality at one point in time — and had become particularly wealthy.
Back in 1984, Korka and her team uncovered a sarcophagus near Chiliomodi, and something told her that she needed to get back to see if there was anything else left to uncover.

“After I uncovered the sarcophagus, I knew I had to go back for more,” Korka reported.
Korka then reunited with her 1984 team in 2013 to go back to the town where she hoped there was more archeological evidence to be found — and she was right.
Although this project technically began in the 80s, it wasn’t until September 2018 that excavations at Chiliomodi began.
