| German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered remnants of ancient Aegean civilizations that lent historical evidence to ancient legends. In the early 1870s Schliemann excavated a site he believed to be Troy, near present-day Hisarlık in Turkey. He found objects made of gold, bronze, and silver, including the artifacts in this photo. Scientists later determined that these artifacts are some 1,000 years older than the city described in Homer’s Iliad. | ||||||
