Heinrich Schliemann: The Man Who Discovered Troy

This week, Ben and Pat discuss the fantastical life of Heinrich Schliemann. His life was full of far travels, great riches, bold lies, and even bolder thievery. What was real about the man and what was his own imagination?  Perhaps one of the founding father's of archeology, he discovered the ancient city of Troy, and then sort of blew it up.  A badass at the time, in retrospect, a bit of a mixed bag!
