Heinrich Schliemann's Journey
Have you ever tried so do something and made a mistake? Did you give up on that idea or did you try again? No great invention or discovery comes from a single attempt. It takes multiple ‘Trial and error’ runs to complete the invention or find what you are looking for.

He had dreamed of finding the remains of the lost city of Troy. He had been interested in finding this city because of two objectives, fame and the love of ancient cultures. He had searched for the city for many years, unsuccessfully. Later in life, he had found the treasures. This

    In contrast, I found Peter Watson’s ‘German Genius’ refreshing as it separates Germany from its unsettling history. Watson’s frustration with British attitudes towards Germany and the expertise devoted solely to Hitler and the Holocaust runs throughout. Offering a different focus, Watson marvels at Germany’s post-war recovery, quoting John Dewey, who described German civilisation as a "self-conscious idealism with unsurpassed technical efficiency and organisation". On a recent visit to Berlin, I saw this first-hand through the vibrant culture and successful industry, juxtaposed with reminders of the challenging Cold War past, which formed a fascinating part of A Level…

    Harriet Boyd is an American archaeologist who majored in Classics and was fluent in Greek. She carried out her graduate work at the American School of Classical studies in Athens which is where she originally requested to take part in the schools fieldwork, but as she was female this request was denied and it was advised that she become a librarian (Bois 1998).
