...expedition for the year, the two young archaeologists who found the area rushed to Professor Hanfmann who could verify the type of pottery. He excitedly identified the cases and sherds as Lydian, ranging from the Early Iron Age to archaic (Sixth Century B.C.). The room, apparently a potter's shop, was a remnant of the fabled city of Sardis, the fied the vases and sherds as Lydian, from uncovered some of the town walls of Sardis dating from Lydian days. A bit of Croesus' metropolis was once more brought to light...
These four major areas--the House of Bronzes and its Lydian potter's shop; the enormous gymnasium "B," its long row of Byzantine shops and its superb eastern court with the elaborate marble capitals; the enigmatic, technologically intricate baths area "CG," and potentially the most significant area of Yydian remains by the Patoclus--have provided Hanfmann and the scholars he has consulted with a number of new theories, most unproved as yet, about Sardis, its art, its economy, and its history...

His profit: $1,000,000. With the money he bought a steel mill, a rolling mill, a machine shop. During the Korean war, Schlieker shipped millions of tons of U.S. coal to Germany, hundreds of thousands of tons of German steel back to the States at handsome profits. When the war was over, he unloaded 50,000 tons of top-priced steel to desperate Ruhr traders just as the price...
