Schliemann's The Illiad

In “Bring Them Home,” the author explains why certain countries sell their artifacts to protect them from conflicts in their country. Many countries need a place to send their very important valuables to prevent them from getting damaged. A country will sale or send their valuables to a trustable country.As stated in the article,Greece sent “stunning marble sculptures” that were in the Parthenon Temple to keep them from being damaged by the Turkish Government. Now,Greece has took their independence back and wants their sculptures back.It’s only right to send them back considering that Britain’s job was to

In the 7th Century AD, an important individual was buried inside a ship in East Anglia. The ship most likely hauled up from the nearby river, a burial chamber was built in the center of the massive vessel. Luckily grave robbers did not reach the ship burial as they did other nearby burial mounds, because the ship was rich in history and artifacts including gold, silver, bowls, spoons, weapons, drinking horns and much more. Originally discovered in 1939, the artifacts and ship burial have been closely examined another 2 times. The artifacts found within the magnificent burial site have created a lot of stir over the past 80 years. Theories have changed on the significance and origins of the artifacts due to changing hypothesis or the arrival of new and different evidence. Because there are dozens of artifacts within Sutton Hoo, this paper will be focusing on a select four of them including; the ‘baptismal’ spoons, the Merovingian coin hoard, the whetstone, and the scepter. According to scholars over the past 80 years, how have opinions, evidence, or assumptions changed relating to these exact artifacts? This paper will be taking a contemporary look at the perspectives of different scholars on different artifacts and, finally, analyze why these perspectives have shifted or changed over time. To my knowledge, scholars do give credit to previous perspectives, but no scholar has every brought all the perspectives together and analyzed their findings.

It all began, On Feb. 171923. A crowd of invited archeologists and Egyptian dignitaries, were gathered in the Valley of the Kings. They were there to view the uncovering of King Tutankhamen’s burial chamber. The outer rooms were filled with treasures, Egyptian art, and furnishings. But everyone was more anticipated to view the actual mummy. While the more leading kings and queens treasures had been looted long ago whereas, King Tut’s tomb had practically been untouched. It had only been robbed twice and luckily the robbers only got past the first chamber. Two months after the

At Sutton Hoo in 1939, an ancient ship burial and treasure was found. In the article “Sutton Hoo and Europe, AD 300-1100” from the British Museum website, it explains the Sutton Hoo find and its significance to archaeology: “The Sutton Hoo ship burial provides remarkable insights into early Anglo-Saxon England. It reveals a place of exquisite craftsmanship and extensive international connections, spanning Europe and beyond. It also shows that the world of great halls, glittering treasures and formidable warriors described in Anglo-Saxon poetry was not a myth” (“Sutton Hoo”). The Sutton Hoo find is very important in the understanding of the Anglo Saxon culture. The ship burial at Sutton Hoo, also known as

After the musicians, the procession continued with the display of the captured Dacian treasure.

Since the number of shipwreck discoveries has been increasing over the years, there is a constant disagreement between treasure hunters and archaeologists regarding who has the right to recover artifacts from these underwater sites. This conflict is causing people to consider the positive and negative aspects of both sides of the issue. The documentary, Deep Sea Treasure Hunters Versus Archaeologists, shows the importance of archaeology for understanding the past and settles the debate between the treasure hunters and archaeologists. This film suggests that a more efficient system could be developed for the greater good of archaeology if the two sides worked together.

Schliemann and Calvert worked together to dig up Troy but, Calvert needed Schliemann's funding so he let him take control. The mistakes of Schliemann erased any important clues of Troy's past. Even thou Schliemann and Calvert found Ancient axes, household items, and jewels. Some people question "was the find worth the destruction of the

In the Medieval Ages, wealth and jewels were not just a material one would use to buy lavish things or to wear to show an importance in status. Armor, weapons, jewels, coins and wealthy treasures possessed significant value within the warrior realms of duty, protection, heroism, loyalty and accomplishment. Gold can also symbolize a King’s royalty, relationships and fame. Modern-day archeological evidence proves this importance of metal and treasure through the uncovered Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon burial treasure-hoard. The significance to Sutton Hoo shows clear evidence that at this time, society thought of gold as a symbol for Pagan beliefs into the afterlife and as precious and delicate.

Archaeologists can look through the dust of time and find items and guess their ancient use. I will attempt to do the same with an object of my choosing. The object presented is a Greek artefact from the Bronze Age. Its appearance can lead us to conclusions about its use and context, even though it dates from a very long time ago.

Your treasure is your memories so no one can experience your treasure the same way. Which will ultimately deteriorate the worth of your treasure. This evidence from the story proves my claim “ What else a man got ‘cepting what he can pass on to his son, or his daughter, if she be his oldest?” This evidence shows that memories don’t have the same worth to strangers as they do to you. Also, When memory’s happen you have to be there to enjoy it so that you can understand
