In case ya'll don't know about Heinrich Schliemann...
Now you do.
He fucking dynamited what quite likely is the actual location of ancient Troy....in the early days, the field of archaelogy had a number of basically wealthy idiot assholes who fancied themselves as 'great men', who went around doing nonsense like this, and of course just actually stealing the artefacts and taking them back to museums in their home countries.
Schliemann obliterated the potential Troy site so thoroughly that archaeologists spent over 100 years looking at other potential sites... only to largely (not entirely, but largely) come to the conclusion that Schiemann's Troy site probably is the actual correct site....
... But he fucking blew it up.
A historical example of an idiot with too much money and unwarranted self confidence.
Yup, this douche looks like the Musk of his dayExcept unlike Musk, he did actually earn his own money, not just inherit from his daddy before purchasing companies to try and take credit for their innovation.
he did actually earn his own money,
How?
If you look at the article about him it looks like he was actually pretty savy at business and was able to make enough money to retire at 36. In contrast, the muskrat was born with an emerald spoon in his mouth. So, both are idiots, but between the two muskrat is worse.
