I knew Schliemann was right the minute I climbed into the horse that stands in front of the ruins at Truva today. (giggle)
The horse seats perhaps 30 people on benches that run along the sides under the windows. Thirty guys captured Troy? Perhaps, as the site is very small.
:’) I don’t think Schliemann had anything to do with the horse — I believe that’s a fairly recent (last 20 years) addition to give the tourists something to do. Also, the only part Schliemann excavated was the citadel of the city — the contemporary excavations did indeed find a large Mycenaean-era town under the Roman and Greek towns which sprawled out around the citadel.
