RE: Tamara Toy
I agree that Schliemann’s actions are more infuriating than Even’s. Altering history to fit your own narrative failed to educate people on how the culture actually worked, as you said. What’s more is that I feel his intentions were to gain popularity or some sort of awards for “discovering’ the ancient mask of legend, to be known as the man that did it. His intentions are more marred than those of Even’s.
