Heinrich Schliemann

sometimes it’s pure carelessness and laziness that cause them! In “Lost Cities, Lost Treasure”, Heinrich Schliemann dreamed of discovering treasures of the ancient world. He travels to a site where he believes he might find treasure. He meets Calvert. Unlike Heinrich, Calvert likes to keep his discoveries on the low and didn’t have interest in fame like Heinrich. Calvert was on the fence about letting Heinrich check his site but since Calvert didn’t have much money, he relied on Heinrich’s…

contested question, that modern scholars ask about Heinrich Schliemann’s archaeological legacy is whether or not his findings at Hisarlik and his claims about Homer’s Troy are the result of lies. On May 31st, 1873, Heinrich Schliemann wrote in his excavation journal that he had found a large cache of gold and briefly described a few of the objects. Beyond that, there was no thorough account of what Schliemann found until much later. Once Schliemann finally revealed what he had unearthed on that…

awhile. If we didn’t mess up then we wouldn’t be human. In Lost Cities Lost Treasures, an archaeologist named Heinrich Schliemann discovered Ancient Troy, which was a big mistake. A man named Calvert agreed to split the land with Schliemann but was mistaken. Schliemann turned on him and took all the credit for the discovery. I am sure that Calvert learned his lesson when it came to trusting Heinrich. Some people may say that all of this is boggess and that there is no way that discoveries come…

grand city spoken of by the great poet Homer. Once complete, now in ruins. We owe this city being destroyed to Heinrich Schliemann. In 1868 Schliemann had been looking for Troy for years. He found out that Frank Calvert, a British archeologist, owned a small part of a site in Turkey, where he believed Troy had been founded. Schliemann decided to fund the work being done there. Schliemann thought that he knew everything; how to dig, where to dig, and how deep to dig. He was wrong. His mistake…

opposing ways. In the late 1800s, three archaeologists excavated their ways into the history books. Sir Arthur Evans became recognized as the British archaeologist who uncovered the palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea. Heinrich Schliemann discovered Mycenae and with the assistance of the knowledge benefactor for Hisarlik, he and Frank Calvert uncovered the ruins of the historical Troy from Homer’s Iliad. The three sites differ in many different qualities, but are also…

Accidents don’t usually lead to great discoveries. Almost all inventions ever made had a mistake involved. Mistakes make us work harder to find something or to make something work. Mistakes help people invent something or make discoveries. Mistakes are key to making discoveries. A mistake from a man named, Percy Spencer, invented the microwave after he accidently left a chocolate bar in his pocket and it melted. When Percy was young he worked in a brand new world of electrical engineering. When…

late 1800s into the early 1900s, three archaeologists excavated the individual sites of the Aegean basin. Sir Arthur Evans became known as the British archaeologist who uncovered the palace at Knossos on the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea. Heinrich Schliemann discovered Mycenae on the Greek mainland, and with the assistance of the knowledge benefactor, he and Frank Calvert uncovered the ruins at Hisarlik of the historical Troy from Homer’s Iliad. The three sites differ in many different…

Heinrich Schliemann was a German adventurer who visited the place that is known to be the city of troy in 1870. while he was there he discovered things that brought up new questions about Troy’s existence. Schliemann found artifacts such as jewelry and stones that were talked about in Homers epic. His biggest discovery was the 9 cities that he found while exploring…

century, the idea became popular when businessman and archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann discovered treasure, which he thought belonged to King Priam. “The collection of weapons, gold, silver, electrum, copper and bronze vessels, gold jeweler, including thousands of gold rings, and a range of other objects made of precious materials apparently came to light close to the outer side of the city wall near the building which Schliemann designated as the royal palace,” writes University of Queensland…

use of a ruse in the form of a wooden horse. Ancient historians in the likes of Herodotus, Xenophon, Arrian, and Plutarch tried to locate Homeric Troy. Most archaeologists attribute the discovery of the site of Troy at Hissarlik, Turkey, to Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century. Whereas the mythical events surrounding Troy lack historical basis, the position of Troy in north-western Turkey by the Dardanelles provides a more historic picture. The Dardanelles connect the Black and Aegean Seas,…
