Treasury of Atreus
The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon is a large tholos or beehive tomb constructed between 1400 and 1200 BC in Mycenae, Greece.
It is the largest and most elaborate tholos tomb known to have been constructed in the Aegean Bronze Age, and one of the last to have been built in the Argolid. The main tomb consisted of a circular burial chamber, or thalamos, topped with a corbelled dome.
This dome was the largest in the world until the Roman period, and remains the world's largest corbelled dome. Originally, the façade was
decorated with marble columns and sculptures.
Its artwork has been suggested to have been inspired by that of Minoan Crete and of Ancient Egypt.
