Trojanische Alterthümer: Bericht Über die Ausgrabungen in Troja. E-book. Formato PDF Heinrich Schliemann - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Das vorliegende Werk ist eine Art von Tagebuch meiner Ausgrabungen in Troja, denn alle Aufsätze, woraus es besteht, sind, wie die Lebhaftigkeit der Schilderungen es beweist, an Ort und Stelle, beim Fortschreiten der Arbeiten, von mir niedergeschrieben.Wenn meine Aufsätze hin und wieder Widersprüche euthalten, so hoffe ich, dass man mir diese zugute halten wird, wenn man berücksichtigt, dass ich hier eine neue Welt für die Archäologie aufgedeckt, dass man bisjetzt noch nie oder nur höchst wenige solcher Sachen gefunden, wie ich sie zu Tausenden ans Licht gebracht, dass mir daher alles fremd und räthselhaft erschien, und ich somit oft Vermuthungen wagte, die ich bei reiflicher Ueberlegung wieder umwerfen müsste, bis ich endlich zur gründlichen Einsicht gelangte und auf viele thatsächliche Beweise gegründete Schlüsse Ziehen konnte.Eine meiner grössten Schwierigkeiten ist es aber gewesen, die enorme Schuttaufhäufung in Troja mit der Chronologie in Einverständniss zu bringen, und ist mir dies trotz langem Forschen und Grübeln nur theilweise gelungen.
Tiryns the Prehistoric Palace of the Kings of Tiryns, the Results of the Latest Excavations. E-book. Formato PDF Heinrich Schliemann - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
If we turn first to the ground-plan, we find already in the Pergamos that the ancient walls were ?anked by salient, massive, tower-like bastions recurring at pretty regular intervals, from which the intervening wall-sections could be watched and laterally swept by the missiles thrown from the beleaguered stronghold. This is specially shown in the old central gate — a colossal, massive structure with a narrow, tunnel-like gate way, which in the first instance was intended to defend the causeway crossing the moat, but which also served to ?ank the S. Side, and therefore assuredly stood out like a great tower over the walls. From the fact that, in the later extension of the fortress, the ?anking position of this tower was almost. Whollv abandoned, we may be certain that its construction must belong to the time of the second citadel. The method of fortification in the earliest settlement being unknown. At all events, this Structure represents, in its conception, a combination of gate-tower and of salient outwork, which is architecturally of great value. The ?anking system, the application of which, in the heroic age, was even recently still so strangely denied, is absent neither from Mycenae nor from Tiryns; but, on account of the varying conditions of the ground, it has in neither of these citadels been so thoroughly carried out as at Troy. In the former two cases it was confined to a few very important points. At Troy, it was most fully developed.
Troja: Results of the Latest Researches and Discoveries on the Site of Homer's Troy and in the Heroic Tumuli and Other Sites, Made in the Year 1882, and a Narrative of a Journey in the Troad in 1881. E-book. Formato PDF Heinrich Schliemann - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Hardly ten years have passed since the veil of an im penetrable night seemed to hang over the beginnings of Greek history Wolf and his followers had torn in pieces the body of Homer; the school of Niebuhr had criticized the legends of pre-literary Hellas until it had left none of them remaining; and the science of comparative mythology had determined that the tale of Troy divine, like that Of the beleaguerment of Kadmeian Thebes, was but a form of the immemorial story which told how the battlements of the sky were stormed day after day by the bright powers of heaven. The earlier portion of the History Of Grote marks the close and summing-up of this period of destruc tive criticism. We have no authorities, the great historian showed, which reach back to that heroic epoch of Greece, between which and the literary epoch lies a deep un chronicled chasm, while the legends turned into history by rationalizing annalists cannot be distinguished from those that related to the gods. Our evidence for the so-called heroic or prehistoric period had been tried and found wanting; the myths told of the ancient heroes might indeed contain some elements of truth, but it was impos sible for us now to discover them. All parts of a myth hang closely together, it was pointed out with inexorable logic, and we cannot arbitrarily separate and distinguish them one from another.
