Just pullin' yer lag, Laz. I would LOVE to see Troy. Under different personal circumstances, I might make a go for it. I actually admire Schliemann a lot. He had an objective that nobody believed in, went after it, and triumphed. His discovery of Troy was one of the first major archeological discoveries in history. I read about it in a book called "Gods, Graves, and Scholars," by C.W. Ceram. It has an honored place in my library. amazon.com Howard Carter also made a major discovery somewhat later when he found Tutankhamen's crypt. I've seen those very artifacts when they toured the USA in the 70s. We made a special trip to Seattle to see them. I was awestruck by their beauty and fine state of preservation. My wife got a T-shirt that said: Hands Off My Tuts, with two strategically placed images of Tut.
