vernon_brief_description In 1868 Heinrich Schliemann set out to solve one of the great mysteries of antiquity: to determine the siting of Homer's Troy. His quest stirred up bitter archaeological controversy as he unearthed artefacts and weapons enough to provide forceful evidence for the Trojan Wars. The author tells of the remarkable steps that led him to Troy and the journey across Europe taken by the treasure he found. -- blurb.
