Priam's Treasure: Schliemann's Lie and the Real Trojan Gold

Listen for free

View show details

Heinrich Schliemann claimed to have discovered the treasure of King Priam at Hisarlik in 1873, but the gold he found belonged to a city destroyed centuries before the Trojan War. This episode explores the story behind Priam's Treasure—its discovery, the controversy over its dating, and its fate during World War II. We examine Schliemann's methods, his later admission that the treasure was from Troy II, not Troy VI or VIIa, and the ongoing debate over whether the artifacts still exist. Along the way, we touch on the Pompadour treasure, the Pushkin Museum, and the question of repatriation. A careful look at how one man's ambition shaped our understanding of a legendary war. #TrojanWar #PriamTreasure #Schliemann #Hisarlik #Troy #Archaeology #PompadourTreasure #PushkinMuseum #TroyII #TroyVI #TroyVIIa #Calvert #FrankCalvert #AncientGreece #Mediterranean #BronzeAge #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
