The Real History of Troy | The War Behind the Legend

For more than 3,000 years, the story of Troy has stood at the boundary between myth and history. This documentary explores what archaeology, ancient texts, and modern scholarship reveal about the real city behind the legend — from the layered ruins at Hisarlik to the geopolitical struggles of the late Bronze Age world. Rather than retelling heroic myths, this film examines how oral tradition, material evidence, and historical memory combined to create one of humanity’s most enduring stories. Was the Trojan War a single epic conflict, or a compression of many forgotten wars? And what does the rise and fall of Troy reveal about civilization, collapse, and the way humans remember the past? A calm, immersive historical journey for viewers who value depth, evidence, and reflection over spectacle. #troy #trojanwar #ancienthistory
