Week 5: Alex - Schliemann vs. Evans

To me, it would seem that Evans should be ridiculed more. Reconstructing the ancient ruins of other civilizations does not seem like it helps the science at all. In fact I could view that as more detrimental considering it can tamper with the hard evidence found at the sight. Instead, based off of the context of the article, Shliemann should not be so harshly judged. It seems as though he was just a man trying to fulfill his boyhood wonders. If evidence that he had done what he was accused of, such as mass collecting different artifacts and then placing them in a certain place, then my stance would completely change.
