“Archaeology is a science, Mr Schliemann. I don't care for your money and I don't have time for adventurers. Your theory is ridiculous. I've been conducting excavations myself in that area for the last twelve years, and I have found all that there is to be found. I tell you this: Go back to your business, and leave archaeology to the professionals. I am afraid that this is the end of your career as an archaeologist, Mr. Schliemann. Have a good day.”
