About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the findings from archaeological excavations in Mycenae, Greece. The author primarily focuses on five tombs that were discovered and excavated in the agora of the city. The book discusses the historical context of the Mycenaean civilization, the significance of the discoveries in these tombs, and the potential identities of the individuals buried within them. The tombs, which date back to the Late Bronze Age, contained a wealth of artifacts, including gold masks, jewelry, weapons, and pottery. The author analyzes these artifacts and compares them to similar objects found at other Mycenaean sites. This comparative approach allows the author to conclude that the tombs belonged to a royal family and that the individuals buried within them were likely of high status. The book also examines the cultural and religious practices of the Mycenaeans, as evidenced by the artifacts found in the tombs. The author argues that the Mycenaeans had a complex belief system that involved both human and divine figures. The book provides valuable insights into the daily life, rituals, and social structure of the Mycenaean civilization and expands our understanding of this important period in Greek history.
