Abstract
Longer than Troy’s fabled siege, Professor Manfred Korfmann’s excavation yielded a royal Hittite seal that corroborates the city’s location. But does it prove Homer’s Iliad is no myth? This program traces the course of the modern search for Troy, beginning with a look at Heinrich Schliemann’s controversial 1870 expedition, reviewing subsequent digs by others, and focusing on Korfmann’s truly groundbreaking research, a meticulous excavation begun in 1988. On-site footage, artifacts, photographs, reenactments, and commentary from Professor Korfmann and other experts help piece together one of Western civilization’s oldest archaeological puzzles.
