thus they found multiple of you and everytime you were buried, and everytime you were reborn, and everytime there was a new altar or a new tomb.
jewelry based on "helen's jewels" from "priam's treasure", discovered in 1873 in Hissarlık (historically Troy) by Heinrich Schliemann. he proceeded to steal the findings and ship them out of the country. this treasure has actually no link to Priam, as it predates him (and the historical date for the Troyan War) by centuries, which i'd argue is even cooler. many more things were part of this treasure, including rings, shields, blades, vases, diadems, buttons...
first picture shows schliemann's wife Sofia wearing some of these "jewels of helen"(!)
