In this episode of Past and Pen, we’re heading back more than 3,000 years to a time of legendary kings, walled cities, and hidden treasure! The ancient city of Troy—home of the famous Trojan War—may be part myth, part reality… but one man was determined to uncover its secrets.
You’ll meet King Priam, explore the epic tale of the Trojan Horse, and follow the real-life adventure of Heinrich Schliemann, a treasure hunter who believed ancient stories could lead to real gold.
But was the treasure he found truly Priam’s? Or just a case of wishful digging? Find out!
Time to unearth your imagination!
✍️ Writing Prompt:Imagine you’re a young archaeologist digging near ancient ruins. You find a strange box filled with mysterious items—some look ancient, some look… magical. Write a story about what you found, how it got there, and what happens next. Is it real? Is it cursed? And who does it belong to?
