FAMOUS LEGENDS

“Legendary Heroes,”​​ from​​ ZDF’s​​ renowned​​ Terra X​​ documentary slot, was filmed in nine countries across Europe. Produced by​​ NFP Media Rights​​ with​​ ARTE​​ as co-producer, the three-part series looks at fantastical stories that have enthralled humanity for centuries, seeking their origin and whether any truth exists behind the legends. The series begins with King Arthur, a literary invention of the 12th century. Likely inspired by a British ruler from the late antique period, the 4th and 5th centuries when Roman rule was coming to an end and the country was divided into numerous kingdoms. Leading the​​ defense​​ of Britain against Saxon invaders, the romantic legend of King Arthur has been a subject of fascination ever since. The magnificent​​ ruins​​ excavated in Cornwall in 2018 have​​ given scientists cause to believe​​ that​​ the ruins of Tintagel might be the​​ long-lost​​ castle of​​ Camelot​​ (3 x 60’).
