Requiem for the Rock Star
I believe in reincarnation, and I am sure that once upon a time, Manfred Osman Korfmann lived in ancient Troy and returned to our time to help unearth its secret wonders....
Prof. Korfmann had been working on the ancient city of Troia for 18 years and his rich variety of important findings quoted widely in the national and international press. Specializing in pre-historic archaeology, he had taught at the Eberhard-Karls-Universitat Tubingen in Germany, as well as been an advisor for the Archaeology Dept. of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart (Eighteen March) University. Recipient of many awards, one of his greatest achievements was the work he performed on the establishing of Çanakkale - Tubingen - Troia Foundation (in 2004 he'd been nominated Chairman). It was important for him to show the historic/cultural ties between Europe and Asia Minor. The latest news, hot off the press, right now, courtesy of Canakkale Travel's Ayhan, is that he has willed his collection of 200,000 books and periodicals to the Çanakkale-Tübingen Troia Foundation.
