"Heinrich Schliemann discovered Troy."

The gold discovered at Troy is still the largest amount of gold ever excavated from an archaeological site. It was secretely taken to Germany by Schliemann and was known as Schliemann's gold. During WW2, the Russians took it to Moscow where it remains to this day.

Thanks blam. I was pretty sure the Russians still had it.
Have you ever read the book that Schliemann wrote about the dig? (Troy and Its Remains)
