Heinrich Schliemann was known for excavating the rumored site of an ancient city and discovering treasure as "proof." Not only has the authenticity of the treasure been doubted, but there is even a theory that Schliemann planted the gold himself. Which city was he supposedly digging for?

The most famous piece of Schliemann's gold, pictured above, is often called the Death Mask of Agamemnon, a mythological king. It was later found to pre-date the supposed time of the Trojan War by three centuries.
