Treasury of Atreus
The Treasury of Atreus (Tomb of Agamemnon) is a Mycenaean tholos or beehive tomb at Mycenae, Greece, built in the late Bronze Age. It follows the tripartite plan of dromos, stomion and a circular thalamos surmounted by a corbelled dome, and is the largest known Mycenaean tholos.

What Treasury of Atreus looked like in its prime.
A long, straight stone dromos lined with tapering ashlar/conglomerate retaining walls leads to a tall rectangular stone doorway set into a high ashlar façade. Above the doorway sits a triangular relieving opening; behind the façade the earthen tumulus rises. The doorway is framed by massive cut limestone lintels and jambs; the buried circular chamber behind is formed of many concentric courses of worked ashlar that corbel inward to form a beehive dome, all in pale yellow-beige stone weathered to warm tones.
