Discovering Troy

The quest to identify the location of Troy led to the excavation of Hisserlick, where significant discoveries were made by Schliemann, who is often credited with the site's discovery despite his destructive methods. Over 46 layers of strata reveal a city with a rich history dating back 5,500 years, though later archaeologists criticize Schliemann's lack of proper documentation and care in his excavations. The treasures unearthed, often attributed to King Priam, remain a topic of intrigue, even as the archaeological community continues to address the challenges left behind by early digs.
