It's not the right era for this thread, but while I'm thinking about it, many years ago I read a book about Heinrich Schliemann who discovered ancient Troy or what remained of it. Don't remember one detail which is why I don't read books any more, but he did find Troy.

I don't know much about a lot of archeology but read things that capture my interest like a very early Christian site discovered in Israel on the grounds of a prison.

Here's a video about Schliemann, a 3-part series, all short, will watch the other 2 later, was up until the wee hours watching a live version by National Geography about theories of the creation of the universe and related matters.

This ought to be your Theme Song then, Mesopotamia by the B-52s.

"Turn your watch, turn your watch back About a hundred thousand years A hundred thousand years

I'll meet you by the third pyramid I'll meet you by the third pyramid Ah come on, that's what I want, we'll meet In Mesopotamia. oh oh oh (We're goin' down to meet) I ain't no student (Feel those vibrations) of ancient culture (I know a neat excavation) Before I talk I should read a book But there's one thing I do know There's a lot of ruins in Mesopotamia"

That sounds like the theme music from the Michael Wood, yup, that’s his voice. Not a bad place to get the skinny on Schliemann — Wood has more on ball than a couple of the degreed and chaired British twits he interviewed.

Here’s the much later retrospective interview found on the DVD of the documentary.
