A general view of the entrance to the Treasury of Atreus on April 13, 2007 in Mycenae, Peloppenese, Greece. Mycenae, a hill top citadel and palace complex, was the most important place in Greece from c. 1600 to c. 1100 BC. The site was first completely excavated by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann between 1874 and 1878. The Treasury of Atreus, c. 13th century BC, is a Tholos tomb, built of huge stone blocks, covered with earth. The entrance passage, or dromos, rises to about 10 metres high where it mets the facade.
