Mycenae Tomb of Clytemnestra

This is a walk round the monumental tholos ('bee-hive') tomb at Mycenae known as the 'Tomb of Clytemnestra'. It's one of several such tombs in and around Mycenae, and there are many more scattered around Greece. Very few have yielded much in the way of finds since the graves they once contained have usually been robbed out. This tomb is no exception and has stood open probably since not long after it was built in the 15th century BC. This is of particular interest to students taking Unit CC1 (Entry Code F381) Archaeology of the Classical World in OCRs AS-Level Classical Civilization course.
