For centuries archaeologists have tried to find the legendary city of Troy but without success. Troy is famous as the scene of the Trojan War, the fight for the world’s most beautiful woman, Helen and the ruse that won her back, the Trojan Horse.
It is a story that has been told and retold by poets and actors for thousands of years but is it real? Did the city of Troy actually exist? A century ago a pioneer archaeologist claimed he had found the site of Troy, but while the public was satisfied the experts were not. Now a team of archaeologists has returned to the same site in a dig that spans the past 15 years, they have made discoveries which are both dramatic and controversial but at the heart of their work one question persists have they found the lost world of Troy?
