Rudolf Virchow and Heinrich Schliemann. An essay on the friendship of two great men.
TL;DRAbstract
This essay briefly relates the great friendship between two great men whose origins and curricula vitae differed exceedingly, but whose common scientific interest in archaeology was to unite them closely. Virchow, a medical doctor, and Schliemann, a doctor of science, were able eventually to secure safekeeping for the Trojan treasure discovered by Schliemann, whose contributions to the culture of our Western civilization have not been surpassed. What has happened to the Trojan treasure since the occupation of Berlin is a question still unanswered.
