Sea people?
1178 BC is date of greatest political changing within Mediterranean due to happened last greatest explosion of Santorini with accompaniment of strong Earthquakes at the continental tectonic boundaries that could destroy important citadel. Troy's high walls have been destroyed by this time. Minoan people decided it was huge wrath of god due to their sin and happened massive abandonment of the small cities and villages within Aegean Sea by ships. Hungry people produced many problems not only within Egypt. Pharaoh decided fighting against different hungry tribes from Aegean Sea (Sea people) and could win easily. In the north of the Mediterranean Sea important news about destruction of the citadel rapidly spread within Greeks and their kings decided to do determinant war against Troy. They knew that destroyed walls can’t defend Troy. Thus the Greeks could win and captured important marine and continental trading ways.
After the deluge about 10500 BC Poseidia became god of the destruction and Earthquakes as well. Poseidia was important god of the Troy and his sculpture with drawing winged horses was in the Troy of course. Thus Poseidia could “help” to win the Greeks and “horse of Troy” became important god of the Greeks as well.
