Archaeologist CarlBlegen sometimes joked that if he accomplished nothing else in his distinguished career, he at least dispelled once and for all the persistent myth that the bathtub was invented in Cincinnati.
Blegen's findings, published in a landmark 11-volume work, revised the findings of German Heinrich Schliemann, a businessman and amateur archaeologist who in the 1870s found demolished houses that he theorized resulted from the Greeks' decade-long siege of Troy.
In his research, Blegen concluded that the level that he unearthed, where the city's walls still stood, was the Troy of Homer.
Carl William Blegen (born January 27, 1887, Minneapolis, Minnesota; died August 24, 1971 Athens, Greece) was an archaeologist famous for his work on the site of Troy in modern day Turkey.
Blegen was professor of classical archaeology at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio (1927–57).
Blegen earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1904 and started graduate studies at Yale University in 1907.
