Did you know that Heinrich Schliemann, the discoverer of Troy, was a very naughty man? Not only was he a totally unreliable archaeologist who destroyed much and faked more, but he was also pretty nasty in his personal life. Did you know he divorced his first wife *secretly*, without her even knowing, while she was in Russia and he was in America? How mean is that? He didn’t even have a second Mrs Schliemann lined up – he just did it cold-bloodedly.
