: Schleiman made other finds in Greece which were probably equal to his work at Troy. They just didn't get the press.

Schliemann was no archaeologist. He was a swindler and a grave robber
who falsified data (and strata)and lied about a lot of the details of
his digs. Most of his conclusions were false and he was an unbearable
egotist. I suppose I'm being pretty harsh on the old guy, but I figured
some of you would like to know. I wrote a HUGE paper on him last semester,
and it nearly killed me. Got a B- on it, and that's what counts. My
two cents.
