Media Watch: I missed seeing Einstein on PBS last week. All I had time to see was Helen of Troy. Link to Helen's Press Release
The narrator, Oxford scholar Bettany Hughes, stated her points very well, but there's still so much we don't know about the East Mediterranian Bronze Age outside of the Greek myths -- and they can be so weird and creepy (Like Helen's conception between Leda and Zeus, disguised as a swan) that those so-called gods may have really come from off-planet, as Von Daniken's gang once postulated.
Making-up a contemporary beauty according to ONE mask or sculpture seems to be a big reach too. I'll guarantee one thing -- whomever the prototype for Helen of Sparta/Troy happened to be, we have very little idea of what she really looked like, in her clothes or makeup, compared to an Egyptian woman of the same period.
