Heinrich Schliemann: Controversial Archaeologist

Heinrich Schliemann: Controversial Archaeologist

Born today was Heinrich Schliemann.

Finding an ancient city was his demon.

A city he had heard and read of as a boy.

Was he the first* to exhume (though recklessly) Troy?**

* Some say another archaeologist, Frank Calvert, should get the credit.

**He has been sharply criticized by the community of archaeologists for using dynamite at the site.

Aquinas wired

I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
