Mistakes are key to history because if no one made mistakes we would never learn anything other than what we already know. Schliemann made many mistakes he was dishonest, he loved to have a profuse amount of money for himself, he was selfish, he took all the credit when he worked with others, and he loved to trick people. Schliemann made many mistakes digging up the lost land Troy he took almost all the credit from Calvert and he ruined key evidence that could've proven that the lost land of Troy was near. Schliemann made most of his fortune in the Gold Rush which lead him to his 2nd career which was archaeology. Schliemann loved traveling and learning so much that he named his children Agamemnon and Andromache, he also could speak 13 languages
