Schlemann's Experiment With the Ilead

Schlemann was a successful German arms merchant. He decided to take his fortune to the Aegean and try to uncover the true location of the ancient city of Troy. After three years of searching, Schlemann found what was very likely to have been the site of ancient Troy. His methods of digging it up were brutal; he used crowbars and battering rams and destroyed countless thousands of artifacts. And many of those artifacts, more than 1,800 of them, were emblazoned with various types of swastika.
