Mycenae

Cyclopean-walled Bronze Age citadel that gave its name to Mycenaean Greece, entered through the famous Lion Gate; Heinrich Schliemann's 1876 excavation of Grave Circle A - gold death masks, weapons, jewellery - convinced him, wrongly but influentially, that he had found the tomb of Agamemnon himself.
