From the dj: "The most unscientific of archaeologists, Heinrich Schliemann founded the modern science of archeology. By the age of forty-four Schliemann had made four fortunes. He had visited half the countries of the world, sired three children by a frigid Russian wife, and learned twelve or thirteen languages. Perseverance and single-mindedness had turned this penniless grocery clerk into one of the world's most successful merchants.".
