Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Test excavations were first conducted at Hisarlik by railroad engineer John Brunton in the 1850s and archaeologist/diplomat Frank Calvert in the 1860s. Both lacked the connections and money of their much-better-known associate, Heinrich Schliemann, who excavated at Hisarlik between 1870 and 1890.
Detailed explanation-3: -Watercolour, 1877. Huge publicity surrounded Schliemann’s finds. He announced to the world that in what is now called Troy II he had found the city of mythical King Priam and the Troy of the Trojan War.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1884 Schliemann, together with Dörpfeld, excavated the great fortified site of Tiryns near Mycenae.
