Heinrich Schliemann

In the passage “Heinrich Schliemann: Archeological Con Artist,” the author tries to prove that Schliemann was a con artist and a thief. The author’s article is effective in trying to prove that Schliemann was a bad person in many ways such as: logic, text structure, and propaganda techniques. The first way that the article is effective is the the facts, or logic. The author gives evidence on when and where something happened in Schliemann’s life. For example, in the article the author says, “First and foremost, an examination of many of Schliemann’s claims will show that he was a pathological liar.” The author gives facts of what, where, and when Schliemann stole an artifact. For example, the author says, “Late, pictures surfaced of his wife wearing some of the gold jewelry, but other reports from people who knew him and his wife confirmed that she was elsewhere at the time of the discovery.” his article is effective because they give facts and logic on Heinrich Schliemann, and what he has done with his life. Whether it was stealing or being an archaeologist, the author proves that he is a bad person. In conclusion, the author’s article is…

Yes, mistakes are a key to great discoveries as they bring inventions and scientists closer to their original goals, as well as lead to unexpected discoveries. Proof exists that mistakes lead to great inventions because, according to the article “Lost cities, lost treasures,” in 1871 an adventurer named Heinrich Schliemann started digging in the ground of a Turkish city, seeking the lost city of troy”. Schliemann made a huge destruction around the area that he believed Troy lied on, but he…

great? Some people would say, Heinrich Schliemann, the archaeologist, when others disagree. Schliemann was an archaeologist who after reading The Iliad and The Odyssey, was on a mission to find the city described in the stories. He had discovered in 1873 evidence of an ancient city and a collection of gold jewelry. He claimed this was the treasure of Priam described by the king in The Iliad. He continued on making new discoveries for the next ten years. I have read two different articles…

I believe that errors in scientific experiments cannot be failure. Some errors in the tests are accidental and sometimes they are there for a purpose. Not all the time, of course, but there are plenty of examples that show that miscalculations in science are proven that create gigantic success and discovery. “We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.”…

Septuagint Often referred to as seventy or “LXX”, being its Roman Numeral, the Septuagint was first translated from the Old Testament in approximately 300 B.C.. It was translated at this time as the Old Testament was written in hebrew and Ptolemy Philadelphus, the reigning emperor of Alexandria Egypt, wanted to include the Greek version in the Library of Alexandria. To do this Ptolemy Philadelphus ordered seventy two scholars, made up of six elders from twelve tribes of Israel, to translate…

at any given time. In addition, it was first ran by a man named Rudolph Hoss, who had the help of SS officials. Auschwitz-Birkenau was planned to be used to intimidate Polish individuals, and prevent any opposition to Nazi Germany’s control. In addition, this camp would be used to relocated those that were living in Upper Silesia, due to the fact that it had previously housed individuals who were thought to be pure jews. Therefore, Hitler intended this camp to serve as a prison or jail for those…

He is also known to be the mastermind behind the Holocaust.He combined a strong like for philosophy with a cold blooded, fanatical adherence to Nazi racistism.More than any individual, he was the one responsible for the creation of a network of state terror. By which the Third Reich suppressed its opposition, eliminated its internal enemies, and compelled obedience from the German citizens. In short he was an absolute…

to decipher causes. Such thought is no exception to Susan Griffin. In “Our Secret”, Susan converses about the connection between the past and the present as well as the connection between a variety of different causes for one effect. She uses a variety of juxtaposition, anecdotes, and fragmented processes of the nucleus and the scientific machineries throughout her fifty or so pages of memoir to discuss not only the relation between causes and effects of actions but also to answer her ultimate…

not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” (Burleigh, 2001 p. 720) Who are ‘they?’ Schutzstaffel (SS), Sturmabteilung (SA), and the Gestapo. The Gestapo were well feared and distrusted. They had special powers, such as tapping phone lines or checking mail, or arresting people on the spot with no charges. They were always…
