Some Famous People called Frank Kolb
Frank Kolb
Frank Kolb (born February 27, 1945 in Rheinbach, Rhine Province) is a German professor of ancient history at the 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.
