Customer Reviews

Beautiful photography

I think an earlier review was somewhat mistaken... this is essentially an exhibit catalog of one of the most famous treasure hoards around. The treasure created an international sensation when it was found at the ruins of Troy. But the hoard vanished from Berlin at the end of WWII. It has been rediscovered in Russia, and is open to inspection at long last. The photography is first rate, and while some of the treasures aren't as spectacular as the finds from Tutankhamen's tomb, they have a romance all their own. Fascinating for all those who have been drawn to the story of the Trojan War.
