- ... that by digging a trench through Hisarlik, Heinrich Schliemann destroyed parts of the ruins of Troy? Source: "Schliemann ... [dug] an enormous, 45-foot-deep trench ... [According to Jill Rubalcaba and Eric H. Cline:] 'He plowed through ... everything ... without proper record keeping' ... Turkish archaeologists are still working to address the damage inflicted by Schliemann’s single-minded quest for Troy." (Source)
