Heinrich Schliemann discovers Troy
~ Publication as the series develops...
Heinrich Schliemann was a runty poor-boy goggle-eyed geek, who grew into a wild, brilliant, visionary millionaire.
He was so obsessed with Homer’s Troy that he blindly smashed straight through the legendary city, located the wrong Troy, declared he’d found King Priam’s palace, was wrong by more than a thousand years, then found eight other Troys, which totally confused him and everybody else, and, while he and archaeologists were sorting out the mess to identify the real Homer’s Troy, (which eventually happened, to Schliemann’s undying and longed-for fame), he ran off to dig up a graveyard in Greece, and discovered a great civilization.
