In this episode Dave and Jeff make their way through the life and (mis)adventures of Heinrich Schliemann, the German polyglot, tycoon, and romantic who was instrumental in the discovery of the sites of ancient Troy and Mycenae.

Come along as we dig up Priam’s Treasure, death masks that resemble puffer fish, as well as tackle weighty questions such as “Did the Mycenaeans tweak their handle-bar moustaches with some sort of ancient Brylcreem?”.
