The light on the backwall of Treasury of Atreus, Mycenae, Greece. Around equinox time the sunlight peeps through the triangular opening above the entrance. By the way, it is expected that this triangular space would have been (ceremonially?) closed at the time of it usage.

  • what is it supposed to point at?

  • Don't know where it points to. There seemed to have been a metal band in the perimeter but I don't know if it had a relation. For more information about the whoel event see the link in 'About This Video' (seem not abel to put an URL in a Comment:-(

  • Whats so special about light reflected off of a mirror? I don't get it, I used to pull that trick to tease my cat.

  • It is not a mirror, it is direct sun light over a mountain hill, through a triangular space about the entrance and then on the tholos wall inside (see URL in 'About This Video). The only thing might be that the triangular space was closed at some point in time.
