Sun rise at Treasury of Atreus (near equinox). The sun rises over the mountain (Zara) opposite the Treasury of Atreus). It then shines through the triangular structure into the chamber of the tholos. At this time for around 20 minutes. It started around 06:00 [GMT] and stoped around 06:20 [GMT]. The video of the sun light is 10 times real live.

  • So...the sunlight shines into a prehistoric tomb. So? what makes this special? What do you excactly want to say (or prove) with all these videos about the sunlight in that tomb?

  • Good question, I don't know yet. I even don't know if it was don on intent. There is not much literature refering to equinox alignment sin Greece literature, also Treasury of Atreus seems to be quite unique in this. So I am just in thinking/brainstorming mode. Any input is handy.
