In Search of Troy

Heinrich Schliemann was a wealthy German businessman and decided after reading Homer's Iliad that the city Troy was real and he followed the geographic descriptions to track it down in today's Turkey. That's what entrepreneurial and scientific minds do, they follow a hunch, work under the assumption that their conjecture is right and discover their nugget of wisdom. Searching for the 'reality behind the observed reality' is like that. Of course we have been biased by the description of those who claim they have lifted the final curtain and of course they could be sending us on a wild goose chase, but then Homer's Iliad could have been entirely fictional and Troy may have never existed. You have to follow your gut my friend, no one can help you with this decision.
