EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1878, showcases the excavations carried out by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann at the ancient site of Troy, now located in modern-day Turkey. The image, known as Schliemann's Excavations at Hissarlik, depicts the so-called Scaean Gate and Palace of Priam. Schliemann's interpretations of his findings at this site have been the subject of much debate in the historical community. The massive ruins, shrouded in rubble and dust, bear testament to the passage of time and the countless civilizations that have risen and fallen upon this land. Schliemann's team unearthed the remains of what he believed to be the ancient city's royal palace and the Scaean Gate, a monumental entrance to the city. These structures, with their cyclopean walls and deep ditches, were thought to have been built during the Trojan War period. However, Schliemann's interpretations of these findings have been met with skepticism by some scholars. Critics argue that the structures may not have been built during the time of Priam and that Schliemann's excavation methods were not scientifically sound. Regardless, the image captures the sense of wonder and discovery that surrounded Schliemann's work and the enduring allure of the ancient city of Troy. Today, tourists from around the world continue to visit the site, drawn by the rich history and the intrigue surrounding Schliemann's fanciful interpretations. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past and the ongoing quest to uncover the mysteries of the ancient world.
