ARCHAEOLOGY Discovering the World’s Secrets: Classical #greece - Finding the site of #olympia , #ancientgreece ‘s most important religious, sporting and political centre, was a sort of #holygrail for European antiquarians. Eventually, it was the #germans who were given exclusive rights to excavate #olympia , under a team led by #friedrichadler #richardbohn and #ernstcurtius . They were assisted by #wilhelmdörpfeld , whose work at #mycenae and with #heinrichschliemann on the site of #troy would make him one of the leading archaeologists of #bronzesge sites.
