Troy, which Heinrich Schliemann found where Homer had indicated—under the hill of Hisarlik, despite the ridicule of the entire 19th-century scientific community. Atlantis—not as a sunken continent, but as the Minoan island of Santorini, destroyed by one of the most powerful eruptions in human history. Biblical Jericho, with its famous walls, which actually collapsed—only a thousand years earlier than required by the chronology of the Exodus. Punt, the legendary "Land of the Gods" of Egyptian texts, whose actual location modern science has only determined thanks to the DNA of mummified baboons. And Dilmun, the Sumerian paradise, which turned out to be the real island of Bahrain, with tens of thousands of burial mounds. Eight places that for centuries were considered pure myth—and archaeology, which in each case has uncovered a shred of truth beneath the layers of legend.
