An Italian nuclear scientist has irrefutably demonstrated that Homer's saga of Ulysses and the Trojan War did not take place in the Mediterranean but in the Baltic sea. One of Italy's top universities is beginning a multi-disciplinary study to test the theory. It may seem incredible, but if one analyses the Iliad and the Odyssey from a scientific point of view, it proves, amazingly, to be true. This documentary will unveil many of the unresolved mysteries from Homer and ancient history. The most important of these is a dilemma which still puzzles both historians and ordinary people: where is Troy? Is the city discovered by Schliemann the one that Homer described?
