1888 After Math Earlier Excavations Foundations Hissarlik Homerian Interesting Levels Revealed Schliemann Schliemanns Section Strata Stratigraphy Troy Walls
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing sketch captures the aftermath of Heinrich Schliemann's groundbreaking excavations at the ancient site of Troy in 1888. The German archaeologist, famous for his discovery of Mycenae and Troy, had unearthed a section of the mound of Hissarlik in Turkey, revealing earlier strata and foundations that challenged the Homeric descriptions of the legendary city. Schliemann's excavations at Troy had begun in 1871, and this sketch shows the progress made a decade later. In the image, the ruins of the Homeric walls can be seen in the background, while the foreground reveals the exposed earlier foundations that Schliemann had uncovered. The strata of the site, carefully sectioned off, attest to the complex history of Troy and the many layers of civilization that had once thrived there. The sketch provides a fascinating glimpse into the archaeological process and the excitement of discovery that marked Schliemann's work. Despite the controversy surrounding some of his methods and interpretations, Schliemann's excavations at Troy revolutionized the field of archaeology and continue to shape our understanding of the ancient world. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the past, and the ongoing quest to uncover the mysteries of history.
