Until his death, Schliemann still believed that the above treasures were the property of King Priam of Troy. Of course, this is Troy, the palace of King Priam and the treasure in Troy described by Homer’s pen. There is no reason that can shake Schliemann’s belief. He said: All the items in his hand were the jewelry of Meilun MeliiuMa, the most beautiful woman in the world, who caused Troy to be destroyed in an instant.
Schliemann died less than 3 years before his inferences and judgments were rejected by archaeologists. Archaeologists have found that the owner of the above treasures is King Bipriamne, 1,500 years ago.
Although Schliemann’s judgment was wrong, his discovery still had great and incomparable value, so it was still praised by posterity. His assistants and successors, with strong faith and tireless efforts, excavated all of Troy as described by Homer, counting 6 citadels in total. But the first and greatest credit for letting Troy see the Sun again belongs to Heinrich Schliemann – the person who had an unwavering faith in what the great Homer wrote.
Before excavating the Troy Citadel, Schliemann thought of excavating the Mycènes Citadel located in the northeast of the Borobennisa peninsula. Because he was knowledgeable and loved the Homeric epic, he repeatedly noticed that when Homere described Mycènes Citadel, he added descriptive phrases such as “a lot of gold”, “is golden”, “prosperous”. honor”… Under Homer’s pen, if the City of Troy was very rich, the City of Mycènes was even richer.
In August 1876, Schliemann arrived at a deserted ravine on the Borobenisa peninsula. On the western side of the mountain peak, the city wall is built of very large rocks, in the middle opens a large mountain door, on the face of which are two lions looking very majestic, that is the world famous Lion Gate.
According to judgments, this golden mask is a Trojan war item. According to legend, the King of Mycènes was Agamemnon, who was also the commander of the Greek army during the Trojan War.
Here, archaeologists have repeatedly searched for King Agamemnon’s tomb. Based on subjective guesses, they arbitrarily interpreted the records of Greek historians of the 2nd century BC. Even though they did not have any basis, they still insisted that King Agamemnon’s grave was outside the city walls. Meanwhile, Schliemann based on the records to make the judgment that the King’s grave with 3 other comrades is located inside the city wall, not outside.
Schliemann began excavating the area around the Lion’s Gate on September 7, 1876. Not long after, preliminary results proved that the path he chose was correct. In a place 50 yards from the Lion’s Gate, not far from the One-Eyed Giant’s wall, they dug a deep hole 90 yards long and 15 yards wide.
Below the hole revealed a circle made of flat stone slabs turned together, ninety yards in diameter. The land in the circle has been leveled, and in this flat land there is a straight stone slab like a tombstone. The relief on the stone slab is so badly damaged that it is difficult to tell if there is a grave underneath the slab.
Since then, the ravine of the Borobenisa peninsula has become the focus of attention around the world.
The Schliemann couple excavated a total of 5 tombs and discovered the 6th one at Sitamasaji. All of these tombs are located in circles surrounded by stone slabs. In fact, in the other circle is also a mausoleum, considered a public cemetery, something that no one knew before Schliemann.
Square corrugated iron floors, depth, and thickness are all the same. In the graves of these 6 graves there are 20 people, including men, women and children. On these parts larger bodies of gold jewelry were covered. The men’s faces were covered with gold masks, including one man with a gold hat. Two children wrapped in gold sheets. The man on the shore can place objects such as knives, swords, and gold powder. Next to the woman, she placed gold jewelry and various types of needles and brooches, and her shirt was also decorated with pieces of gold. In addition to some precious gold objects found in the tomb, other treasures here are also very valuable, one-of-a-kind spiritual art.
They are two dagger hilts engraved with gold, river scenes with groves of reeds, river water in sparkling green pillars, a canary cat passing by, alarming the nearby mallards, they Wings flew up, breaking the heavy static air.
The treasure found increased many times over, much to Schliemann’s delight. These successes of his have created opinions. Almost every day he has articles about the school published in reports. He is extremely confident that the people who can declare here are the remains of heroes who fought in Troy.
At that time, without his Schliemann, even the skeptical scholars and ancient documentarians here all admitted that the German merchant, despite his low academic talent, received the essence of truth and have an unusual destiny. Because after examining the treasures found in the tomb, they thought that these things had a very accurate, unabashed connection with what was described by Homer. Medicines are limited to bowl-shaped prophylactic leaves or cocktails. In the epic Homere, it is written: “The godless man who participated in the Trojan War was Lanistuer who poured Prammi wine into golden ice for Maku and himself, Gold powder This has 4 handles, each handle has 2 supporting pillars, and the top of each handle has 2 doves.
fangs”. Or “Hlidlis held the leather hat on Edxins’s head. Inside the leather hat there were very sturdy cross-woven leather straps, underneath was lined a soft hat made of floral wool, two manes on the side of the hat. Besides being very beautifully decorated, there are 2 rows of boar teeth that are as shiny and white as snow.” Schliemann found 60 boar teeth in the grave, all of these teeth were very carefully horned and were also drilled with 2 errors, Determining The best way to clearly identify these two bugs is to connect it with other objects and use the plug on the protective weapon helmet in combat.
Schliemann always thought that the world he discovered was the world in Homer’s eyes – the “Illiade – Odyssée” world. But unfortunately, Schliemann’s judgment was wrong. He trusted Homer and followed tirelessly, which led him to find a part of Agamemnon. But in fact, the date of these parts must be that time 500 years ago, expected to be between 1,600-1,500 BC.
Later, when people learned more about the Mycènes culture, they assumed that the first part that Schliemann discovered was not a burial shop at one time, but that it had been going on for more than 1,000 years. They affirmed that he was a member of the Royal Family, or possibly a member of the royal family of a dynasty. Agamemnon was most likely buried in a rounded, honeycomb-like part of the ravine. They made the judgment that Agamemnon must rest in a noble tomb, so the “Aterosi Treasure” was at one time considered one of Agamemnon’s.
In 1921, under the direction of Professor Viesu, during the excavation of Mycènes Citadel, archaeologists discovered a prehistoric public cemetery (the crypt discovered by Schliemann is a part of this public cemetery. ) extends beyond the Giant’s Wall and west of the Lion’s Gate. Between 1,600 and 1,500 BC, the princes and princesses of the royal family were buried in the graves of the public cemetery, which is now inside the wall. These Kings and Royals seem to belong to the same dynasty. The most prosperous period of Mycènes Citadel was the construction of the One-Eyed Giant wall of Andao and the Lion’s Gate. Also during this time, they used stone slabs to replace the graves of previously buried princes, set up tombstones placed inside the circle and constructed round altars that resembled the shape of wells, with the fresh blood of the deceased. The sacrificial animal can pass through, flowing directly into the burial ground of the heroes.
The problem seems to have been resolved, but it is still not thorough because it is still a bit difficult to deny when arguments such as right and wrong still support Schliemann’s judgment. For example, the “bowl-shaped” shield, the boar helmet with its fangs, or the golden cups found here make his argument still accepted by many people. However, in the life of the Mycènes there are still many components that are not quite as Homere described. Therefore, for nearly 100 years, scholars Ajilansi and Hekthuer have continued to argue about whose treasure is whose, and which answer is correct?
