Agamemnon Tomb (Bee Hive)

The Agamemnon tomb is an impressive "tholos" tomb on the Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae in Greece. It was constructed during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The lintel stone above the doorway weighs 120 tons, the largest in the world. The triangle opening above the opening was situated there to distribute the weight onto the walls preventing the roof from caving in.
The Agamemnon tomb was incredible to see in person, to appreciate the size and workmanship that went into building it.En savoir plus
