Mycenae
MYCENAE, GREECE - APRIL 13 : A general view of Grave Circle A 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. Grave circle A, just inside the citadel walls, contains six shaft graves. The amount of gold found in them suggests that these were the graves of the rulers of Mycenae. ((Photo by Manuel Cohen)
