Message:: [QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9521820, member: 78949"]True, true <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yes, Schlieman was more of a treasure hunter rather than an archaeologist, he lacked knowledge and skills to excavate ancient artefacts and rightly attribute them. I also have read about "the treasure of Helen" which was proven by scientist to be much older than the Iliad events. Besides, there is no logic to find Helen's jewellery under the ruins of Troy which was ravaged and looted, and destroyed, and nothing valuable was left there. Also according to Iliad, Menelaus took back Helen, and most probably with her jewellery,  and also with many other treasures, including living creatures taken as slaves. So it was much more logical to search for Helen's chest of jewellery in Sparta. [/QUOTE]
