Frank Kolb (born February 27, 1945 in Rheinbach, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German professor of ancient history at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen in Germany. He has been involved in a controversy over findings concerning the late Bronze Age in Troy, and accused Dr. Manfred Korfmann, a professor who has been leading excavations at the archaeological site of Troy, of deliberately misrepresenting his findings there. Kolb believes Troy was not an important city, but Korfmann (and others) had suggested that it was a significant trade centre.
Famous quotes containing the word frank:
“I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
