It applies scientific techniques to address questions about Homer\u2019s epics and the collapse of the Bronze Age world.<\/p>\n<p>The series travels from the hill of Hissarlik in T\u00fcrkiye to the palaces of Mycenaean Greece and the archives of the Hittite Empire, uncovering new evidence and revisiting old controversies. Through the use of Schliemann\u2019s excavations and modern genome analysis and geoarchaeology, the docuseries explores the intersection of history and legend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to continue our longstanding and successful partnership with Impossible Factual,\u201d said Nikolas H\u00fclbusch, Director Unscripted at ZDF Studios. \u201cTheir ability to combine rigorous research with compelling storytelling makes<em> Troy: The Schliemann Legacy<\/em> a truly exceptional series.
