Jeb and Blake tackle the history of Heinrich Schliemann's legendary search for the ancient city of Troy.   Content Warning - this episode of In Search Of contains footage that may be objectionable to some viewers. Viewers should be aware that A&E is pulling episodes of In Search Of... down off YouTube quite frequently. At the time of posting, you can see Part 1 of the episode  here. Part 2 is here.

Discussed in this episode:

The Iliad 

The Odyssey 

The Aeneid

Hisarlik 

Heinrich Schliemann

Sample problems with the In Search Of special effects.  A few flying ships is all. And some small issues with the sunbeams.

Nothing weird to see here. I'm sure this is perfectly normal for ships left on the beach too long.

Heinrich's Naruto Run...

Schliemann did at least sometimes wear a pith helmet.

 

The Wooden Horse used in the episode still exists today. (Built in 1975)

Nimoy Fashion Alert

The story of Jungle Hunt (aka Jungle King) and how "Tazan" got replaced with Random Explorer Dude. 

In case you missed it - I did put the footage of Schliemann running to the tune of Yakety Sax: https://vimeo.com/478182806
