Detailed explanation-1: -Heinrich Schliemann, in full Johann Ludwig Heinrich Julius Schliemann, (born January 6, 1822, Neubukow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin [Germany]-died December 26, 1890, Naples, Italy), German archaeologist and excavator of Troy, Mycenae, and Tiryns.
Detailed explanation-2: -When German businessman Heinrich Schliemann discovered a cache of ancient artifacts in the place now known as Hisarlik, Turkey, in 1873, he was quick to identify the gold jewelry, silver vases and other precious objects as the treasure of Priam, the legendary king of Troy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dörpfeld found numerous phases of the city, which he labeled “a” through “h.” The last phase, Troy VIh, showed signs of an almost-complete destruction of the city. For Dörpfeld, this was the evidence for the Trojan War that they had been seeking. He ended his excavations and published his results.
