Based on life and work of Mr. Schliemann a lot of young boys and girls decided to become archeologists. Some of them achieved great successes, and they admitted a role of Mr. Sch.

There are undistrubed burial mounds in England that are recently being explored despite being there since the Anglo-Saxons first invaded and sorrounded by repeatedly modernising architecture are time passes on. People who live there probably think "huh, neat" and move along. Same as how most modern Greeks will think the same and respect the area rather than gawk at it and try and dig it up for more.

Archaeologists used limited findings & out of date testings to produce their hypothesis which have been taught in schools to be accepted as factual history. Now, they will do everything to protect their hypothesis which in turn protecting the status of their hypothesis, their industry, their place/status and most importantly funding. Their actions have been despicable, unbecoming of a true scientist (open minded & willing to test all new finding/hypothesis/research): 1) dismissing/devaluing/ridiculing all new findings - challenging their hypothesis 2) attacked & destroyed character of anyone without academic qualifications 3) accused/accusing findings as fringe &/or conspiracy 4) greed/power corrupted weak minded people in leadership positions - transparent to all

based on this he did'nt find Troy, he did'nt even find an ancient settlement, he came along to an already known settlement, ran around a hill, said yep this is troy and proceeded to blow it up. The only thing linking this to Troy in his mind , is Achilles chased Hector around the walls 3 times, and that was possible at this site. (this is so open to many questions, such as at this point he did not know the perimeter of the settlement) Whether Troy, Helen, Hector, Achillies where real is anorther Question, but all this points to is a 4000 year old settlement, that might , might not be Troy,

There is nothing remarkable about him other than his money which enabled him to play at being treasure-hunter.

On the contrary many archeologists would be mad if someone used the same methods as Shleima. The principal of archeology is to find and date objects while learning about the past, which is to be done in a meticulous manner on the off chance that you find items as a whole piece rather that as fragments. It makes easier to date objects. Also the other principal of archeology is preservation. This also has to do with dating as yes, it also makes dating objects easier to do. Especially when you have such sofisticated cities that were built on top of each other. Going layer by layer gives the added benefit of cataloging finds for yet again, proper dating.
