Heinrich Schliemann (1822 – 1890) was a German archeologist.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In the 1870s, Schliemann led excavations at Mycenae and assumed the buried monuments outside the citadel were treasuries like those mentioned by Pausanias. He dubbed the largest monument the Treasury of Atreus.[1] In 1876, during the Mycenaean excavation he unconvered a circle grave and mistakenly attributed it to the Mycenaean king Agamemnon. Schliemann alleged that a gold mask he found inside was "The Death Mask of Agamemnon", however these two claims were later debunked.[2]
In 1880,[3] he began excavation of the city of Orchomenos in Boeotia and discovered and searched for the cities of Troy (three excavations; his first in 1870, then 1879, and 1883) and Tiryns in 1884.[3][4]
