http://schema.org/description
- "Michael Wood attempts to discover whether the events and people of the Trojan War, as described by Homer in the Iliad, are true or myth. This episode tells the story of Heinrich Schliemann's successors and their excavations at Troy and other sites in Turkey and Greece. Arthur Evans and his work at Knossos are examined in detail."@en
- "Michael Wood discusses the conflicting views of archaelogists Arthur Evans, who championed the theory that Minoan civilization controlled the Aegean during the late Bronze Age, and Carl Blegen, who argued for Mycenaean dominance and the accuracy of Homer's account. Excavation of Troy 6 and Troy 7A at Hissarlik in Turkey supported the latter, but most overwhelming evidence was the finding at Pylos, Greece, linear B tablets identical to those found on Crete and the discovery that the script was an early form of Greek."
- "Further archeological excavations at Troy, and in Greece and Crete, by Wilhelm Dörpfeld, Arthur Evans and Carl Blegen bring to light new evidence which seems both to confirm and deny the reality of the Trojan War."@en
- "Historian Michael Wood goes off in search of some of the answers to questions that have baffled archaeologists for generations. His search takes him to Greece, Turkey, England, Ireland, and Berlin as he tries, with the aid of modern investigative and journalistic techniques, to discover whether the Trojan War really happened. In this segment he investigates the excavations of Wilhelm Dorpfeld, Carl William Blegen, and Sir Arthur Evans who thought they had found the real city of Troy."
