Doug Mudd, a long time DBA player and Tournament Manager for the 25mm open for many years sent me this message. The figures are, by the way, fantastic. Some my recall Doug being featured in the Smithstonian Magazine with is figures. The movie is coming May 14. Can I get away from work to catch an afternoon show, who will go too?
From Doug Mudd: Check out the following History Channel presentation - my very own Mycenean figures have a part to play!
The truth behind a tale so powerful, it inspired 3,000 years of myth and
legend, and may have changed the course of history.
The True Story of Troy
A Providence Pictures Production
World premiere special on The History Channel
Sunday, May 16 at 8-10pm ET/PT
It's the site of the most legendary war in history and the Western world's
oldest adventure story. It begins with a beauty contest and ends with a
giant wooden horse unleashing death and destruction. Now, archaeologists,
literary detectives, and military analysts are uncovering evidence that the
mythological Trojan War and the legendary city of Troy is real. From
archaeological trenches at ancient Troy and the citadel fortress of King
Agamemnon, to Homer and Hollywood, we search for the true story of Troy.
The story of Troy--the exploits of the nearly invincible Achilles, valiant
Hector, the beautiful Helen, and the king of kings, Agamemnon--addresses
many aspects of history and the human condition including questions
particularly relevant today: When is war justified? And at what point is war
made senseless by its awful cost?
Vivid 3-D animation, re-enactments of battles, interviews with the world's
leading experts, and exclusive film footage from sites of archaeological
digs, bring the history of Troy to life.
