The Tomb of Agamemnon is situated at the archaeological site of Mycenae. This tomb is also known as the Treasury of Atreus and is the largest and most impressive of the nine tholos tombs at Mycenae. An entrance passage leads to a circular burial chamber roofed over with a corbel vault shaped like an old-fashioned beehive. In the 2nd century AD, the travel writer Pausanias named this tomb the Treasury of Atreus as the structure was thought to have been the treasure house of Atreus.
