Schliemann is a rich man in Germany. He was born in1822 65438+1October 6, and his family was not rich. In his early years, he was an apprentice in a factory. Fortunately, Sherman likes reading very much, and his mind is very clever. Later, he became a successful businessman, and his business grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming a monopoly. However, wealth did not divert Sherman's interest in reading, especially the stories in Homer's epic. After thinking about it for a day and a night, Sherman thinks the story in the book is true, but in real life, everyone regards Homer's epic as a legend.
Is there really a Trojan in the world? After staying in the archaeological team for a while, Sheriman strengthened his idea: "Troy really existed, and the ruins of the ancient city exist somewhere, waiting for future generations to investigate."
1868, Sheriman wrote Ithaca, Peloponnesus and Troy on the basis of on-the-spot investigation, which wrote: "The Kanakalai area on the west coast of Asia Minor Peninsula in Turkey is the location of Troy."
1870, 47-year-old schliemann came to Xi Anatolia on the Aegean coast again. He just wants to find the remains of this haunted ancient city for 40 years. But Sisalik is so big, where do we start digging? With doubt, Sherman studied Homer's epic again. He read these words that he can recite. He led his assistant to the key area of West Salik, drew a rough range, and then began to dig. Thick black soil was dug up, and the pit on the ground became bigger and bigger. Just when everyone wanted to give up here and find another place, he heard a "click" and the assistant's tool almost broke. Is it? The assistant carefully dug out the thick soil, which turned out to be an ancient city wall made of huge stones. Everyone is very excited and continues to dig in this place. However, it took nearly two years, and finally only a section of city wall relics and residual bricks were excavated. Is this the ancient city of Troy?
In order to dig out the huge ruins of Troy, Sheriman has led the team to spend a lot of energy and financial resources at this time, just to find the legendary ruins. Is it really worth it? Sheriman really wanted to give up, but when he came back in the middle of the night, he dreamed of Troy again. He decided to grit his teeth and look for another period of time. Finally, God helps those who help themselves. 1873, Sherman and his assistant finally removed all the foundations of the wall above, and found the real treasure of Troy under the ruins-a huge copper pot with colorful rust on it, nothing special, but when Sherman opened it, it was almost dazzled by the baby light inside: golden yellow, reflecting bright light. There are 8830 rare treasures such as crowns, bracelets, necklaces, wine glasses, dishes and so on, as well as handicrafts such as lapis lazuli axe, red agate beads and crystal ornaments.
The most precious thing in the jar is a pure gold headdress, which consists of 16000 small gold plates of gold thread. It's fantastic. This gold crown can be wrapped around the wearer's head, and there are 70 short and 16 long gold chains around it. Each gold chain is made of heart-shaped gold pieces. The tassel on the short chain hangs over the wearer's forehead, and the long chain hangs over the wearer's shoulders. It is wonderful that the wearer's face can be completely embedded in gold after wearing it.
According to scientists' speculation, it will take at least 20 years for this kind of gold headdress to be made by craftsmen.
This is the excavation process of the world-famous "Trojan Treasure". After the publication of Treasure of Troy, Heinrich Schliemann was also known as "the father of modern archaeology". In Troy, the treasure was finally given to Germany by him. After the archaeological achievements were made public, the academic circles began to realize: "Before the arrival of the ancient Greek era, the local area had produced splendid ancient culture."
During World War II, the Allies bombed Berlin, and a large number of German art treasures, including Troy treasures, were hidden in underground bomb shelters. Then, in the chaos, Troy's gold treasure was missing. Where did the treasure go? It is said that the Soviet army took these treasures out of Germany. Until the 20th century, someone found clues to these treasures in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. The windows where these treasures are displayed are bulletproof glass, and a guard is arranged next to each window. The treasures on display include two exquisite gold crowns, six gold bracelets, a gold goblet weighing 60 1 g, a gold goblet with amber goblets and a gold goblet with 60 pieces.
From 65438 to 0998, UNESCO listed Troy on the World Cultural Heritage List. They have now become the treasures of the Pushkin Museum of Plastic Arts in Moscow. Although Troy is too far away from now, these priceless treasures are the most direct evidence of this history.
